As of right now what do you consider to be some of your best marketing assets or resources? Can you really say you have any? A word of caution is definitely in order here.
Ladies and gentlemen if you’re attempting to build your entire online presence strictly relying on all the content you publish via social media. And for whatever reasons you still don’t have your own self hosted WordPress website or blog. my friend your entrepreneurial Titanic is rapidly headed for a iceberg. Say what?
Because a couple of things are far more likely to happen. Either (A.) Your account(s) will be temporarily. Or (B.) For whatever reasons be permanently shut down. And when this happens. If you don’t have your own self hosted website or blog. And equally as important no opt in email list of subscribers.
Where is this all too common situation gonna leave you and literally millions of others. Who for whatever reasons were totally convinced “this” would happen to them. Until (of course) it did.
So going forward let’s get some of your current or future marketing assets and resources working even harder for you or your major competitors. Than you do on them. Sound like a plan or what?
Entrepreneur Your Marketing Campaign Costs Don’t Have To Be Or Become Outrageously Expensive! (In Order To Be Or Quickly Become Incredibly Profitable!)
Case in point. (Strictly for hypothetical marketing illustration purposes only.) Let’s say your golf playing skills have developed to the point you now routinely get paid $175 dollars per hour to instruct the locals on ‘how to” systematically improve their overall playing skills. (Both men & women BTW.)
You now promote three hour minimum packages. Where your customers can invest in either:
A.) They invest in three hours up front at (whatever) your current hourly rates are. And you’ll not only throw in a bonus hour. Plus given them one of your X minute instructional how to CD. Which is an additional X dollar value. ($175 x 3 = $525 dollars. Plus whatever the current value of your CD is.)
B.) Or they can invest in three or X number of hours up front @ and receive a 20 or X% discount. And no bonus one on one time. And no additional instructional -bonus Cd.
But because you’ve started to become an extremely dedicated student of marketing. You realize just “how” much previously untapped marketing opportunity there is yet to be explored.
Everything from forming various types of mutually beneficial JV (Joint Ventures) or cross promotional relationships. To creating your own types of “how to” instructional digital products.
Definitely Keep Developing Your Entrepreneurial And Marketing Skills! (Because They’ll Pay Dividends For You From Now On!)
And because you’re starting to fully appreciate the whole “back end” marketing concept. Plus now you’re now proactively looking to form some strategic alliances with some local Mom & pop, non franchised sporting goods businesses.
And you or your major competitors can offer the sporting goods stores-s customers who invest in either the highest priced golf clubs, highest priced golf shoes or highest priced golf balls etc.
Simply for doing so. They automatically get an extremely time sensitive, first time customer discount coupon for 50 or X% off private one on one golf lessons from you. Which (currently) is a $175 dollar an hour value.
And of course your first main upsell to your first time customer is. As long as they upgrade and invest in at least one more hour at your current full rate of $175 dollars an hour or X.
You’ll throw in an additional bonus 30 minutes worth of training. Which is also an X dollar value. Plus as long as they do so before your first training session. They can purchase your CD or (if you have more than one), they can purchase any one CD of their choice at your actual cost.
Entrepreneur Who Says You Have To Have So Called Traditional Marketing Assets?
In the case of your one on one golfing lessons and instructions. Ladies & gentlemen “how many” fairly skilled golfing instructors have their very own customized, stand alone (meaning) self hosted lead capture page(s)? Like the sample one you see below.
