How Extremely Savvy Entrepreneurs Generate New Customers For Pennies On The Dollar!Part Eight

Honestly, have you ever personally purchase some type of advertising package, be it for radio TV, local newspaper, magazine, and or online, and received a huge discount for doing so?

And how did things, (profit wise) eventually work out?

The only reason I ask, is because, believe it or not, some extremely savvy entrepreneurs, often receive at least part of their traditional ad campaigns, for some incredibly eye opening discounts.

But that’s not what allows them to create major, last long impressions.

And some of these major players, routinely spend hundreds of thousands or dollars, or tens of millions of dollars annually.

And sadly, at the end of the day, very few consumers, who not already customers, barely remember any of their outrageously expensive, traditional ad campaigns. Is that really the way you want to invest, and or spend, your extremely limited ad dollars? I sincerely hope not…

But what if there were  market tested way, for you to invest your extremely limited marketing/promotional dollars, and generate continuous positive word of mouth and mouse buzz. You’d definitely want to know about it, right? Continue reading

So after reading part one of this ongoing series, has it dawned on you, how some incredibly savvy entrepreneurs, make very good use of, and profit handsomely, from the marketing concept, often referred to simply as ‘triangulation?’

I sincerely hope so. Because in essence, this proven concept, is nothing than more, than three or more reputable companies, service providers and or startup entrepreneurs etc.

Strategically playing off of, and or leveraging each others various assets. And doing in so in a way, which mutually benefits every one involved.

Sometimes, in the more complex arrangements, you’ll see four or five non directly competing companies involved.

Some gladly grabbing their percentage, and or the lions share of the front end of the sales funnel, and some gladly doing the same on the back end of the sales funnel.

Either way, ‘triangulation’ is definitely worth investing your time and or resources in order to explore the many untapped opportunities and or marketing possibilities. Continue reading

And where you’re currently at in your particular entrepreneurial journey, this is probably not a realistic option just yet, correct?

And besides, ‘what’ if you’re literally just starting out, and virtually nobody with any type of major influence, has a clue ‘who’ you are just yet. And your corporate dollars are pretty thin.  Does this particular scenario sound vaguely familiar? Continue reading
