Jump Start Your Sales
Joint Ventures are becoming very popular these days. One of the most popular for the last 2 years has been Mark Hendricks "12 Days of Christmas". Each year a lot of folks give away their products just for the exposure, and your email address. But, you get a lot of good stuff too!
If you can't beat your competition, Joint Venture with 'em. E-mail targeted e-zines and ask them to do a joint venture with you. Agree to work together and beat the other competition, and then, share the profits. A strategic business partner that has the same objective could lead to lead trading, sharing market info, package deals, etc. Build alliance's with other businesses by trading links or ads, creating joint venture deals, cross promoting your products, etc. Endorsement ads with other e-zines pull more hits and sales than just trading classified ads because it gives your ad instant credibility.
Starting an affiliate program or using viral marketing, branding your name and business by writing articles and submitting them to e-zines or web sites for republishing, can increase your marketing and advertising efforts on the Internet. (see my article entitled "Submitting Your Articles To E-zines and Viral Marketing" by clicking below)
http://www.goarticles.com/cgi-bin/showa.cgi?C=29764
Writing a small report, with your ad included on it, and allowing others to give it away is a simple form of viral marketing. Allowing other sites to link to your site could increase your ranking in some search engines. Entice people to link by giving them something free in return, or a discount on the products you sell.
Remember to take a little time out of your day or week to brainstorm. Relax with a pen and paper in hand so you can jot ideas down. Don't worry if they're any good or not. Just write! You can back over the list later and edit it. New ideas are usually the difference between success and failure.
Model other successful business or people. I'm not saying out right copy them, but practice some of the same habits that have made them succeed. Learn how they attracted more traffic, made more sales, wrote better sales copy, etc.
Taking risks to improve your business can prove fatal. If you feel in your gut, that it's not a good idea, it would be wise to follow that gut instinct.
Turning your ad copy into a story and including emotional words in your advertisements like love, security, relief, freedom, happy, satisfaction, fun, etc, and your visitors won't be as hesitant to read your ad and will become more interested in your product. Turning your ad into an article say a how-to article, will lead your customers into your ad without them knowing it's an ad. They'll already be interested when they get to your sales pitch.
Bullets to highlight your product or services benefits. Benefits are the
key to selling anything, make them standout in your ad. You can use dots, dashes, or circles to highlight them.
Let your visitors know the reason why you're having a sale so they don't think your products are cheap. It could be a holiday/seasonal sale or clearance sale. A good example of this is Anthony And Derek Tomei's Fire Sale Now -
http://firesalenow.com/firesale.asp
Your web site should be worth revisiting. Put yourself in your visitors shoes. Design your site for them, not for yourself. Design it to be a valuable resource with original content, free ebooks, information web site links, free and useful software, etc. Keep people at your web site as long as possible. Allow them to download free ebooks, sign-up for contests, use free online services, etc.
Build a large directory of web sites your visitors would enjoy. Start a free-to-join business association from your web site. And ask all members to place your association logo and link on their web site.
Promote customer feedback. Ask for their honest opinions about your business, good or bad. Attract visitors to your web site by offering them a free course. You could package the course on a follow-up autoresponder and send lessons daily.
Tell your reader they'll receive surprise bonuses. This'll raise your reader's curiosity and make them want to buy so they can find out what the surprise bonuses are. Use your free bonuses to create an urgency for your visitors to buy. Only offer them for a limited time with your main product. Let your reader know this specific package will not be offered again. You must create urgency so people buy now. You may always sell the same product but not with the same bonuses or price.
Persuade visitors to link to your web site. It could raise your ranking in some search engines. Give them a freebie in exchange for them linking to your web site. It could be content, software, etc.
