Increase market share strategies.

Your increase market share strategies blueprint.

 

Have your recent attempts to improve your increase market share strategies fallen a little short of your grand expectations?

And have you really struggled in this sagging economy trying desperately in vain to just barely pay the bills, while watching other small business owners and or service providers, really move ahead?

Are  you convinced that unless some sort of fourth quarter miracle takes place asap, your days as a serious entrepreneur may be over?

If so, cheer up my friend, because this particular mega proven (low cost) high powered marketing strategy is just what the doctor ordered.

Introducing Five Incredibly Powerful Ways Your Increase Market Share Strategies Will Improve By At Least 25% In The Next 90 Days Or less! (When Start Strategically Using Mega Proven Bounce Back Offers!)

Just to quickly recap and briefly explain the benefits of this incredibly flexible (low cost) non techie marketing technique. Whenever you include your best market tested index sized card (not to mention)  time sensitive post card and or VIP discount coupon in every purchasers outgoing bag.

You automatically increase the chances of them quickly returning to your store in order to receive the special sliding scale discount, plus powerful free bonuses, at least 250% or more!

Of course your best market tested powerful free bonuses that either you or your best joint venture partner(s) includes with your “bounce back” offer, really helps boost your customers response rates.

That’s correct, the overwhelming statistics indicate, a new or current customer is at least 250% more likely to immediately return to your store (within) the date stamped time on your VIP coupon, in order to receive your promised discount percentage (providing) of course, you make it worth their while.

Ever Wonder How To Gain Market Share From Competitors For Virtually Pennies On The Dollar?

So what you want to do is inexpensively test and track which discount percentage coupled with how quickly (inside) of seven business days or less, produces the highest customer response rates.

Once you discover that, along with (on average) how quickly they return, then you know how and which bonuses to add to your best “bounce back” offer.

For ex; you could offer your best customers/clients the maximum of 25% off the total of their next purchase, plus your best market tested bonuses,  provided they return within the next three business days of the time sensitive date stamped (or) hand written date on their VIP customer “bounce back” offer coupon.

After day five, their discount percentage automatically drops to just 15% off and they only qualify for half of  your advertised free bonuses.

Any purchases made after the seventh day and their discount percentage is no longer available!So it’s in their best interest (and yours) for them to return and purchase asap.

Just Don’t Over Complicate Your Steps To Increase Market Share!

Just be sure that you place no minimum purchase requirements, in  order to encourage their repeat patronage. With that said, let’s quickly look at five incredibly powerful reasons you should be using “bounce back” offers in order to strategically grow your  business with little or no increase in up front expenses.

1.) Reason # one: The other reason you want to use “bounce back” offers is because you can inexpensively A/B split test various offers and quickly discover which discount percentage, plus additional free bonuses, produces the best customer response rates.

And once you do, you can allow other local vendors that service non competing businesses, give them away as free bonuses to their customers or employees as powerful free incentive bonuses, valued at X.

2.) Reason # two: Think about the powerful free “word of mouth” marketing buzz you can create, whenever one of your customers returns to your store in order to take advantage of your bounce back offers

(Plus free bonuses) and once they return to your store and or shop etc, you also throw in some additional free unadvertised bonuses, like a free twenty dollar gas card if they bring at least one new first time customer with them, whose at least 18 years of age.

If they purchase over $30 dollars worth of merchandise, you’ll also throw in a free coupon good for free large sodas (or ice cream cones) if it’s summer, to some extremely close vendor within a short walking and or driving distance of your store.

Your Best Market Tested Bounce Back Offer Is A Proven Sales Rep That Works Non Stop 24/7!

3.)  Reason # three: Keep in mine, once you’ve discovered through inexpensive A/B split  testing, which “bounce back” offer produces the best response, that VIP coupon and or index card or half page sales letter etc.

It’s now  a 24/7 proven sales rep that never calls out, nor asks for a raise and doesn’t ever take rejection personally!

4.) Reason # four: You could also very easily modify it and make it a two sided index sized card, and list all the stated benefits and (either) run ad on Craig’s list or in one of the local peenysavers.

And announce you’re looking for part time commission only sales reps, and allow the reps to sell (either) six month and or one year special VIP bounce back offer cards that the first time customer can purchase in advance for $10 or $12 dollars respectively.

Meaning- they can (either) spend $10 dollars and get a special VIP bounce back offer discount card (plus your free incentive bonuses) good for the next six months, or spend just $12 dollars and get the exact same card good for the next twelve months!

Given the choice, what would you do? Exactly!

Here’s the real kicker. Let your sales rep keep 80-100% of the cost! They simply bring you the potential new customer’s application and physical  mailing contact info.

And your sales reps can earn $10 -$12 dollars per sale  and work as many hours per week or month on a 80-90% commission only basis!

5.) Reason # five: And finally. Why not let other local non competing cash starved small business owners and or service providers, give away as a free upsell bonus, your special VIP six month “bounce back” offer discount coupon cards to any of their customers that spend over X amount of dollars!

Inexpensive A/B split testing and tracking will quickly reveal which offer produces the best results!

There you have it my friend. Five powerful reasons you need to be using mega proven “bounce back” offers in order to increase your market share strategies.

No mater what your particular niche is.

Company newsletter ideas.

Potential big money in company newsletter ideas.

As recall in part one of this series on strategically turning your company newsletter ideas into a whole lot of money.

There is an absolute ton of ways for you to create (both) short and long term profits (whether) the company newsletter you use to market in is written by you or someone else.

In fact, it doesn’t really matter, provided the newsletter truly adds value to the subscribers. Which brings up another very important point. A basic  one, but never the less, it needs to be stressed over and over again.

Your Company Newsletter Ideas Will Ultimately Belly Flop If It’s Just A Glorified Pitch Fest!

Ladies & Gentleman, nothing  will turn off your potential customers and clients more than any type of (so called) newsletter and or association, that is 85%-95% sales pitch and 5%-15%  helpful content.

In other words, make sure if you’re attempting to joint venture with any other vendor, that their newsletter contains at least 80% relevant,useful helpful content as opposed to simply a glorified sales tool that does nothing more proposition the subscribers.

Let’s talk about five more major benefits of newsletter publishing.(Whether it’s your company newsletter or not.)

Of course it  goes without saying, that if its your newsletter, you ultimately  have way more control.

1.) Major benefit # one: Here is your first major benefit of having a loyal subscriber to  (either) your own person in house company newsletter or your opt in email list.

You can always send them special VIP promotions and or time sensitive coupon offers etc.Plus, your top JV partners best offers as well, for a fraction of the traditional costs.

2.) Major benefit # two: You can send periodic updates or special  alerts to announce  special ‘closed to the general public’ workshops (or) if your a retailer, why not inexpensively test offering special subscriber only after hours sales.

If your normally closed on Saturdays after 6pm. Why not announce on every third Saturday of the month, a special after hours sale where subscribers only!

And their special three new non subscriber guest limit. And the hours are 6:01 to 9:00 pm. Give each new guest a special 20% off their total purchase, ( no minimum purchase required) good for the next six months.

And track to see how many of these temporary customers convert into long term repeat customers, that stick around for years and years to come.

Plus, you could serve food and other refreshments and offer anybody that posts a positive comment on their Facebook page (provided) their active on social media., an additional 10% off for a grand total of 30% off.

Again, no minimum purchase required. Video tape some of your happy after hour shoppers and add the footage to (both)  your blog and Facebook fan page. This  way, new potential customers that visit your blog, will see the video footage and want in on the fun!

Translated: they’ll want to know how they can participate in your after hour sales!

You Should Be Strategically Testing Various Offers In Your Outgoing Newsletter …. (To Discover Which Vendors Should Seriously Consider Buying Ads In Your Publication.)

3.) Major benefit  three: You can also use your newsletter to proactively (and inexpensively) test various offers to your list.

For ex; suppose that you currently have 100 offline newsletter subscribers, of course your actual number of subscribers is irrelevant here, you could inexpensively testing four separate offers from (if need be) four separate local offline JV partners (trying) to determine which if any offer, produces the most response.

Play it out, 25 of your subscribers will get a specific type of relevant offer that your JV partners offer. Take the top two offers and now you know which type of industries to solicit in the future (for both) paid advertising and potential JV arrangements!

4.) Major benefit  four: Piggybacking off strategy # three: If you inexpensively test an offer to your list and you get an above average response.

Now  you could approach that vendor with the following JV arrangement. You’ll periodically run their  best market tested offer in your paid ad section for free, in exchange for 25-50% of  their first sale profits!

Now they can market to your ever growing list with little or  no upfront cost. And you in turn will approach them with the following potential JV offer.

For every business (and or) service provider that they personally introduce you to, and you successfully negotiate some type of JV arrangement with, you’ll lower your JV commission percentage by an additional 10%.

Which means, if you start out at  a 50% JV profit share percentage. After their fifth successful referral, they get to start banking 100% of (both) the front and back end of their arrangement with you!

Think about it, your top JV partners can quickly get to 100% profits, simply by flapping their lips and introducing your business, product or service to their immediate inner circle of most influential business owner associates!

5.) Major benefit  five: You could also showcase one of your top JV partners businesses each month by  simply including their best mark tested fliers (and or) index cards inside your outgoing monthly offline newsletter.

You’ll include for free their best market tested flier inside your offline newsletter, in exchange for them approaching a local charity that they consistently do business with and negotiate an arrangement where the charity offers every donor that makes a second level donation.

Will receive your free three month trial subscription valued at X! The charity gets more B level donors, and they’ll mention it to their fellow charity  heads, plus you’ll get additional free exposure to potential to long term repeat customers and clients for a fraction of the traditional cost!

And the best part is, you’ll be doing this right under your major competitors noses!Furthermore, let’s be clear here.

None of this will happen overnight. Nor will it simply fall into place on your very first try. No way!

But without a doubt, you can strategically turn your company newsletter ideas into a lot of money, for a fraction of the traditional cost.No mater what your particular niche is.
