Business and Marketing

Marketing secrets and shortcuts to sell yourself with your product or service.
You can have a good product or service, but if you keep a secret, no sales. Of course, the missing part of the puzzle is still marketing. Many people in business believe that marketing is an expense that can not afford. Nothing could be further from the truth and this series of articles I will cover many ways to market your product and / or services for little or no.
[19] Sub-Conscious team:
We all have the greatest computer in the world, our subconscious mind. You can give instructions to do something and then let it do its magic. Ever tried to remember the movie name and the name comes to you in the middle of the night? It can be said to come with 5 new marketing labels next Saturday, then out of your way and let it do its thing. It always answers.
[20] Do not forget sales training:
A friend of mine recently asked me to mentor her daughter, who works in a telecommunications company in the tens of thousands of Sales Call Center Reps I was amazed at how he lost his sales skills and selling process. They put him in six weeks of product knowledge, and only 2 days of sales training. When he offered criticism of the manuscript, or call the help, he admitted that did not even exist. When I asked, continuing education, has admitted that his manager was buried in reports and meetings, and could not spend time with the Reps. It seems that most rental companies and vendors assume that they already know how to sell. Do not waste your money on advertising and marketing, if people can not close the door Spring Storm.
[21] using well-known adage:
Your prospects and customers are bombarded with hundreds of ads on a daily basis and marketing needs to differentiate itself from the crowd. Why not use a family that most people already know to get your attention? Remember the old saying, "When pigs fly"? Burger King has adapted to present its new Big Bar-BQ.
[22] reward card or frequent buyer program:
With a loyalty reward card that is the hole (or keep track electronically) with each purchase, and when your customer buys 5 or 10 or 20 items, they could get one for free. If it does not fit your budget, you can give them a 20% discount on their next purchase when they buy a certain amount. Or you could give them an accessory free with the purchase of an item, etc.
[23] Social Networks:
Facebook has more than 200 million members. Visitors view tube 13 billion videos a month. LinkedIn has 15 million corporate networks of people. Twitter is growing at over 40% per month. What is your excuse for not using these free promotional tools to help build your credibility, your reputation, your prospect list and yes, even your sales? For those who think they are too small, it's how you become great. For those who think they can afford it, can not afford not to. For those who believe that simply do not need to eat your competition for lunch.
[24] Piggy Back the press release:
Here is a great way to get more for your money with press releases. The original press release should provide information on the upcoming event. Then put a release followed a couple of days, weeks or months later, the success of this event. Finally, you must send a nice letter to the editor thanking them for their coverage both before and after. Of course, you, in this letter can also plant the idea of ??a possible interview for a human interest story or an idea or a futuristic series of tips to their readers, etc.
