    Millionaire Mind - Secrets of the Millionaire Mind - (I)

    The Advertising That Sells
    Why do we hate advertising? Because it is intrusive, importunate, sometimes vulgar. Everyone will give their own reasons. But you see what a contradiction – without advertising there are no sales. That is true. People may keep on telling you that they can’t stand ad
    Can your business sell its products to other businesses using a mail-order catalog? Probably. And make a profit? Maybe, as long as you follow some proven guidelines. Here are a few of them.

    Niche and grow rich
    Your catalog needs to fill a specific void in the market. All of the successful business-to-business (B2B) catalogs target a narrow slice of a larger market. In the home workshop marketplace, U.S. General Supply sells tools, nuts and bolts. In the business products marketplace, Chiswick sells packaging supplies. If you try to produce a catalog that sells everything to everyone, you will sell nothing to anyone. You need a niche.

    One way to niche
    If your current catalog sells many products to many audiences, consider producing a mini-catalog that sells just one line of products (laptops, for example) or that sells multiple products to just one audience (laptops, desktops and servers to banks, for example.

    Use even prices to suggest premium quality
    Murray Raphel, in the book 2,239 Tested Secrets for Direct Marketing Success, says even prices suggest higher quality. I agree. You don’t increase sales of a $10,000 automated payroll system by offering it for $9,995.

    Make it a keeper
    Add how-to articles, editorial features, industry news, user tips and other helpful information throughout your catalog to give it added value as a reference guide—one that customers keep longer.

    Keep it fresh
    Prevent prospects from thinking that your latest catalog is the same as the old one they already have. Change your cover graphics with each new catalog, and display a prominent banner that says “38 New Products” or “10 More Pages” or something similar.
