Hub You - Keep Costs Down and Keep the Marketing Strategy Simple
Most Fridays, my husband and I patronize several restaurants established by small business owners. We use this time to enjoy a good meal and have the opportunity to talk away from the home. Over the course of the last few years, the number of available dining establishments has diminished by one a year. The reason is due to that both of us have seen wait staff using the bathroom facilities without properly washing their hands.Last nig
Taking the approach of creating a smaller advertising budget and try 2 or 3 different advertising methods I found works well when marketing on a shoe string budget. You’ll have less pressure on yourself to determine which ad worked best for your business to use again. It takes time to create a
Imagine your blood racing as the previously closed doors of the executive suites magically open … because you know the secret words.The words that establish trust, build your credibility as the authority, and compel the decision maker to meet with you and only you.The words that get you face-to-face, high-level meetings, trim weeks off of the sales cycle and add tens of thousands of dollars to the size of the contract. Words that
Product knowledge must increase to a point where you know who you must sell that product to and how to sell it. In my opinion you have two choices when it comes to marketing:
1. Hire a marketing firm that can advertise your product for a fee or….
2. Take the time to learn about your product and try different marketing methods without spending all of your money.
If you are on a tight budget then Option 2 may be the choice to make.
One lesson I learned when trying to sell my product is actually telling the customer you have what they are looking for in an ad. I realized this when I started marketing my product on the internet. I never knew keywords meant so many different things to so many different people and I really had to put my money management skills to work for me so I can live to market another day and get closer to my target market.
In my perfect world a prospect would become a buyer in the following manner:
1. Prospect sees your ad and visits your web site wanting more information.
2. Prospect loves what you are saying and is ready to buy.
3. Prospect purchases your product becomes a customer.
In order for a prospective buyer to visit your web site to start the sales process, the shopper must react positively (meaning have interest) to your advertisement. The bottom line is: Your ad must be good enough to attract many prospects because you are paying hard earned money to have that ad presented to the world. So how do you know if your ad is good enough? In my opinion it’s trial and error. You need to run different types of ads showing different combinations of features and benefits of your product and choose the best producers. Then you must track that ad and see if they are converting into sales.

Whenever I hear the words “job satisfaction,” I think of the Country-Western singer/songwriter Roger Miller and his song Kansas City Star.As with all good Country-Western tunes there is a simple tune and a simple story involved with the song. The song starts off telling about a letter being received, which contains a job offer. There’s more money, expense account, and a car . . . and what’s more the singer even admits that the offer is

Failure with small amount of money can provide success if you keep learning and trying new marketing methods.
