How a 7th grader taught me a valuable marketing lesson
I was seeing my younger brother (we're quite a few years apart), as I'm prone to do. He's a great kid. When he smiles, you've gotta smile along with him. It's just impossible not to. But this is about one time he got on my nerves a little. Ok, a...

Promoting Your Business with Copper Wire? Think Again.
So many people launch their first or second business with the misconception that they can survive without advertising. It is their fear of failure that almost single-handedly assures their failure. They fear spending the money that they need to get and keep their business running during those early years of their operation.
Let’s face it, when you start in business, money is usually pretty darn tight. So, you must figure out how to get off the ground without throwing your money down the drain. Every single red cent is important enough to hang onto with a tight fist.
NOW IS NOT THE TIME TO REINVENT COPPER WIRE
I am reminded of an old joke a friend used to tell about himself.
My friend had always told me that both he and his brother were the inventers of copper wire. He insisted that the two of them were fighting over a penny one day and managed to stretch it out into the first strand of copper wire known to mankind.
Indeed, now is not the time to try to reinvent copper wire.
ADVERTISING IS A NECESSARY COMPONENT OF A SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS
The point of advertising is to notify your customers of the existence of your business. It is necessary to tell people that you are in business and to tell them what products and services you are offering.
Unless people know that you are offering a certain product or service at a certain price, no one will knock upon your door to buy your wares.
If you fail to attract customers and dollars, your business will die. Therefore, advertising is a must for the success of your business. Sure, word of mouth can take you places, but it can only take you so far. Advertising is designed to pick up where word of mouth leaves off.
ATTRITION IS A DEFINITE FACTOR TO CONSIDER
Attrition is a factor in all businesses. A business is able to pick up so many customers and dollars on every advertising or promotion venture. Yet, a certain portion of your old and new customers and dollars will drop off over time.
You simply cannot rest on your laurels. You must continue to generate new business and new dollars or your business will die.
EZINE PUBLISHING DELIVERS A GOOD EXAMPLE OF COMMERCIAL ATTRITION
If you have ever published an online ezine, then you will have seen attrition first hand.
You can spend all week advertising your ezine and note that your efforts have generated for example 500 new subscribers. Yet, by the end of the week, your subscriber base has only climbed by 250 subscribers. What went
wrong?
Well, this is how it works. Keep in mind this is only an example to make my point, but if you have ever published an ezine, then you will know I am right on the money with this observation.
In one week:
· 500 people sign up for the first time. · 40 of those people unsubscribe after the very first issue because they do not like the content. · 30 people quit after the first issue because their only purpose in subscribing in the first place was to get the freebie you had offered to new subscribers. · 30 of those people unsubscribe because they do not remember subscribing to the ezine in the first place. · 80 email addresses bounce due to ISP email filters. · 20 people bounce because they did not pay their Internet bill. · 35 people have simply changed their email addresses without submitting a change of address to you. · 15 people have quit the Internet altogether.
In the final analysis, 100 of your new subscribers, or 20% of your newcomers are gone after one week. Another 150 subscribers were long-time subscribers who are gone for other reasons.
If you make the mistake of stopping your advertising, your ezine list will eventually wind down to one subscriber --- you. In our example, 150 long-time subscribers disappear every week, and there is nothing you can do to stop it. You must absolutely keep a fresh flow of new subscribers coming into the ezine in order to stay ahead of the attrition curve.
STAYING AHEAD OF THE ATTRITION CURVE
An ezine or a business, what is the difference? Not much. Your business will suffer the same fate as the ezine if you do not advertise. I don’t know how to make it any more clear than this.
Yes, you must be careful not to throw your money away on advertising that does not generate results. But you cannot afford to throw the baby out with the bath water.
Carefully, pick your advertising, study your results, and put your money back into what is working for you.
In conclusion, you must decide. Do you want to advertise your business, or do you want to watch your business die? The decision is yours and yours alone. Well, what are you going to do?
