If you’re active on social media. As of right now do you have a favorite platform? And do you also occasionally use paid advertising campaigns on your favorite social media platform(s)?
If you do it’s definitely time you maximized your marketing or promotional opportunities which are far too often hidden in plain sight. Because once you put a pencil to it. Both you or your major competitors will probably quickly “discover” it’s makes far more economic sense to ethically bribe X number of business owners or service providers within a five to seven block radius of their physical locations.
And by extension their current and future employees, current and future neighbors and current and future customers. Especially the VIP’s (Very Important Persons.)
For just a moment think about the long term positive word of mouth and mouse marketing possibilities. May be these businesses or service providers have female accountants or bookkeepers who would absolutely love purchasing an extremely eye catching diamond studded necklace. Which would easily retail for $2,500 dollars. But for an extremely limited time. Simply for joining you or your major competitors opt in email list. And…..?
Effectively Marketing Your Closeout Inventory Is A Proven Strategy For Systematically Building Some Bankable Loyalty!
Sadly here’s “what” a staggering 95-98% of your major competitors are doing in order to liquidate their closeout inventory in their retail jewelry business. (And it’s what you should be routinely doing only as a last resort.)
They run a combination of outrageously expensive traditional -local- prime time TV, radio or popular full or half page newspaper ads. And yes some of the locals will definitely rush in to you or your major competitors store(s) in order to take full advantage of these extremely limited bargain basement fire sale prices.
(And don’t forget nor overlook those potentially expensive PPC (Pay Per Click) ad campaigns. Because $15-$30 dollars per click or more can and definitely will quickly add up. )
And sadly 95-98% of your major competitors aren’t ethically bribing these primarily one and done customers to join their opt in email list. Nor are they being strategic by ethically bribing them to drag a friend and or colleague with them to your store. Which means typically they’re spending anywhere from $400- $700 dollars per lead or more.
And let’s say they only come to your store once. And they spend $350 dollars in order to purchase an extremely eye catching pair of diamond studded earrings. Which usually retails for $450-$575 dollars a pair. (Definitely a great deal for them, is it not?) But you invested anywhere from $400-$700 dollars in order to get them into your store.
And a staggering 95-995 of them aren’t coming back any time soon. Unless or until you or your major competitors run another closeout inventory sale. And for the vast majority of your major competitors.
They’ll keep going down this outrageously expensive road. You on the other hand.
