Tips To Market Your Business??

[margrett]

Hello Friends

1)Print your best small ad on a postcard and mail it to prospects in your targeted market:People read postcards when the message is brief. A small ad on a postcard can drive a high volume of traffic to your web site and generate a flood of sales leads for a very small cost.
2)Stick It!:Use stickers, stamps and handwritten notes on all of your direct mail efforts and day-to-day business mail. Remember, when you put a sticker or handwritten message on the outside of an envelope, it has the impact of a miniature billboard. People read it first; however, the message should be short and concise so it can be read in less than 10 seconds.
3)Newsletters:Did you know it costs six times more to make a sale to a new customer than to an existing one? You can use newsletters to focus your marketing on past customers. Keep costs down by sacrificing frequency and high production values. If printed newsletters are too expensive, consider an e-mail newsletter sent to people who subscribe at your Web site.
4)Seminars/ open house:Hosting an event is a great way to gain face time with key customers and prospects as well as get your company name circulating. With the right programming, you'll be rewarded with a nice turnout and media coverage. If it's a seminar, limit the attendance and charge a fee. A fee gives the impression of value. Free often connotes, whether intended or not, that attendees will have to endure a sales pitch.
5)Mail Outs:Enclose your brochure, ad, flyer etc. in all your outgoing mail. It doesn't cost any additional postage and you'll be surprised at who could use what you're offering.

Have a nice day

Hi guys

# Print your best small ad on a postcard and mail it to prospects in your targeted market.
People read postcards when the message is brief. A small ad on a postcard can drive a high volume of traffic to your web site and generate a flood of sales leads for a very small cost.

# No single marketing effort works all the time for every business, so rotate several marketing tactics and vary your approach.
Your customers tune out after awhile if you toot only one note. Not only that, YOU get bored. Marketing can be fun, so take advantage of the thousands of opportunities available for communicating your value to customers. But don't be arbitrary about your selection of a variety of marketing ploys. Plan carefully. Get feedback from customers and adapt your efforts accordingly.

# Use buddy marketing to promote your business.
For example, if you send out brochures, you could include a leaflet and/or business card of another business, which had agreed to do the same for you. This gives you the chance to reach a whole new pool of potential customers.

# Answer Your Phone Differently.
Try announcing a special offer when you answer the phone. For example you could say, "Good morning, this is Ann Marie with Check It Out; ask me about my special marketing offer." The caller is compelled to ask about the offer. Sure, many companies have recorded messages that play when you're tied up in a queue, but who do you know that has a live message? I certainly haven't heard of anyone. Make sure your offer is aggressive and increase your caller's urgency by including a not-so-distant expiration date.

# Stick It!
Use stickers, stamps and handwritten notes on all of your direct mail efforts and day-to-day business mail. Remember, when you put a sticker or handwritten message on the outside of an envelope, it has the impact of a miniature billboard. People read it first; however, the message should be short and concise so it can be read in less than 10 seconds.

Hello to all

1. Local Media
Take advantage of the media in the town or city in which you live. Local newspapers and magazines quite often will write business profiles for their paper. An ad you place in the newspaper is apt to get lost within the scope of all the others. Readers will notice a business profile. Take the first step and contact your local newspaper or a local magazine and ask if they would be interested in doing a profile on your business. Prepare yourself for this interview and focus on what your business has to offer and why they should choose your business instead of another.
2. Write Articles For The Press
Display your abilities as an expert in your field by writing articles on your business. Offer these articles to your local newspaper, trade magazines, and even, online. By teaching potential clients about all aspects of your business, you are proving yourself to them as an expert in the field. This will get your name out there in front of potential clients and market yourself as an expert in your particular line of work.
3. Sponsor Your Community
Getting involved with the community in which you live in is a major advertising strategy. For example, sponsor a local team sport, such as Little League Baseball or Hockey. Soon you’ll have ten or more children running around with your business name on their back. When their parent’s are bragging, they’ll mention your business name when telling their friends and relatives what team their child is on.
4. Collect Written Testimonials
When a client states you’ve done a good job for them, don’t be afraid to ask them for a written testimonial. This can be as simple as a quick thank you note. These written testimonials should be added to your marketing materials, such as your web site, your company brochure, or company newsletter. Testimonials will add the trust factor to your business.
5. Unique Special Offer
Create an offer that no other business has. This could be as simple as offering something for free. For example, if your business is service oriented, you could offer a free three-day trial or for a cleaning service offer the first three-hours free with a written contract for your services. Every consumer likes to feel they are getting something for nothing.

Have a nice day

Here are 9 ways you can market your business for free or cheap in just a few minutes:

1 ) Get Free PR - Get access to queries from reporters all over the country who need sources and information for their articles, books, blogs and interviews. Join HARO at www.helpareporter.com at no charge, read the query lists that land in your Inbox three times a day, and respond to the ones you can genuinely help with on target information.

2 ) Say Thanks - Write a thank you card to a client, prospect who contacted you, referral source, or anyone who has helped you along the way. Everyone appreciates being appreciated, after all.

3 ) Become a Blogger - You don’t need your own blog to benefit from the power of the blogging…You just need to post comments that are interesting, relevant and helpful on other people’s blogs. Then people who read and enjoy your comments can follow a link back to your Website.

4 ) Get Networked - Online social networks are a terrific way to market in your own backyard, and beyond. A quick Google search will turn up a boatload related to every topic under the sun. Sign up for a no-cost account with one that’s related to what you do and set up your profile. I like Biznik.com, LinkedIn.com and Facebook.com for general sites. Twitter.com is also worthwhile.

5 ) Be Helpful - Many social networking sites like Biznik.com, StartUpation.com and LinkedIn.com have Q & A sections where members post and answer questions. Jump in there with helpful advice and people will want to learn more about you and what you do.

6 ) Connect - Make a point of getting in touch, and scheduling phone meetings, with interesting people you find on your social networking sites. You never know who you might meet or how they could help your business grow.

1)Mailing Labels - Email Signatures: Every e-mail you send out should have an automatic signature at the bottom with your name and contact info, AND information about your business product or service! Every mailing label you send out, even on bills that you are mailing to your telephone company, needs to have a business promotion that can tell everyone who handles that piece of mail something about your business.
2)Ask for referrals before you start work
After you sign up a new client, but before you start work, ask them if they would be willing to provide you with a testimonial if you can meet, or exceed, their expectations. Do not wait to you have completed the work. Prepare them in advance.
3)Creative Media Promotion - Media Expert:You have information and experience that most people may not have access to, so you are an expert! Make sure the local, then national, media knows that you are available to give background information regarding your area of expertise. Send press releases out that are newsworthy and interesting for public news consumption.

Have a nice day
