Here are 13 things you need to check through to make sure
you have implemented them ALL in your business.
1. Create a great USP ' something that stands out and tells
your clients why you are not only the best choice, but the
only choice in their purchasing decision.
2. Keep it simple. Can a grade 8 read and understand what
it is you are saying in your promotions? If not, go back
and simplify it.
3. Educate them ' tell them about you, your business, what
it does and how it does it ' and ' MOST IMPORTANTLY ' why
they should even care!
4. Ask the prospect/client to take action right now. Any
action ' buy, phone, email, signup ' whatever your
marketing message is ' make sure it contains something they
should take action on.
5. Why should they believe you? The prospects you are
targeting WILL distrust you. It is a fact of life. You
need to overcome this distrust with proof that you deliver
(testimonials, case studies, pictures, professional
sources, anything and everything that shows you are the
best at what you do)
6. "What's new?" is something your prospects AND clients
want to ask and know. You must give them compelling
reasons to buy ' buy again ' and spend more each time. And
you can't do that by boring them ' what is NEW in your
business? Your offering? Your client success stories? New
bundles of products or seasonal promotions? Tell them what
is new in your personal life. Make sure they have a good
reason to read what you are writing!
7. Make sure everything you do is designed to get their
contact information. From your business cards to your
letterhead, to your advertising and website ' everything
must present a compelling case as to why they should give
you their contact information. And when they do ' FOLLOW
UP!
8. Find ways to raise your prices and offer an upsell every
time they go to make a purchase. There is ample proof that
you can double your prices and not lose a significant
number of buyers ' as long as you make the reason
compelling enough as to why they should pay the higher
price ' and what you offer in return.
9. Call everyone (or hire professionals to do it on your
behalf) AFTER your direct mail efforts ' it will increase
your response by a huge margin.
10. Find people to joint venture with and cross-promote to
their lists and your own.
11. Make sure your clients and prospects KNOW you
appreciate them. They pay the bills ' so make sure they are
constantly told that you value them.
12. Invest a substantial amount of your time developing
good higher end products for your clients. Either on your
own or through partners, you need to present them options
at higher prices and better bundles of products and
services. A one- time buyer is twice as likely as a
prospect to buy again, and at a higher price. A two time
buyer three times as likely... and so on. Your entire goal
is to get them to buy once then offer them multiple options
to buy again, and again.
13. The greatest way to get referrals is by being the best-
of-the-best. Make it so they would feel guilty for NOT
telling their friends, family and business associates about
you. Be the ONLY one they would through excellence. And
again, you have to ASK them to refer their friends and
family. They may do it on their own ' but chances are they
don't feel comfortable doing it. But if you position so
there is something in it for them and for those who they
refer ' they are much more likely to actually do it.
Here's to you cranking up the heat on your marketing!
