MORE CLIENTS

Have you checked out the Member’s Directory? These like minded business operators may be providing what you are looking for, or you may have what they want. Check out the Industry list then ring and introduce yourself to individuals that interest you. If you pick a different industry each week you will soon develop a relationship with a number of new contacts. This is a great networking tool that will bring you more sales as you develop your relationships.

MORE SALES

Most HBB operators do not take out ads because of the cost. But there are places where you can get good results from advertising. Initially an ad may simply build your profile, but if the people where you are advertising are your target market, sales will follow. You can get some FREE advertising from Louise Schultze of iBidAM on her website which has over 10,000 regular visitors. You can also have a banner ad on three high ranking websites for a low cost. We even have a graphic artist who will do your designs for you for a reasonable cost.

MORE TIME

Are you struggling to do all the marketing exercises that will make your business grow? You are probably so busy producing your product or services that you just can’t build a blog or find the time to write regular articles. If you are looking for people to write articles for you then have a look at Fiverr where you can get an article written for $5. Sure, you can get some poor results, but you also get some good ones. Once you have a few and know who the good ones are, you can keep using the same person. Most articles you can use as your own, or you can show the authors name. You can view a sample of an article that I have had written for me.

 

MORE EFFECTIVE WEBSITES

You need to be able to keep a check on how well your website is performing for you and it also helps to know how well other sites are doing that you may visit. One way to do this is to have a Page Ranking (PR) tool that gives a ranking of 1-10 for each website. The Google tool bar can be added to your computer (including Firefox). When you are able to get a 2 ranking you know you are doing OK. If you can get a 3 or 4 you are doing very well. It is usually only websites that get huge numbers of visitors who get higher rankings. Instructions on how to place the PR tool on your website are available.

When you see a good ranking website you know that business is doing well and getting lots of visitors. If there is no ranking, either the site is new (it can take some months to get the first ranking), or the owners do not promote the website, or there are no visitors and/or poor information is provided.

MORE SKILLS

When it comes to marketing there are different types of skills that better suit the service industry than product. However, often the same concept can be used for both. It is interesting that the service industry is more likely to utilise marketing skills and the products will resort to advertising. Fast Track Your Marketing is a worthwhile e-book that covers such topics as: boosting your branding message; time management; how to make an impact when networking; knowing how to speak with a purpose; how to write articles that capture attention; the selling process - and much more.

Your power to market your product can be enhanced if you win awards or have specific certification. Is your website designed to take advantage of this form of Marketing? Check out what this member has done to enable you to achieve such status www.australiancertified.com.au
