(Because They Flat Out Work, If You Work Them!)
Have you ever pre judged a particular marketing strategy (like) a proven list building for free marketing strategy?
And thought, just because it sounds a little too slick it probably has no place in your particular small business and or service provider marketing arsenal?
Let’s face it, often times as soon as you see the buzz word free.
You definitely tend to subconsciously discount it’s potential effectiveness,correct? Absolutely.
Well don’t do that here, because if you do, you’re going to miss out on some fairly simple long term profits.
Introducing Three Long Term Marketing Strategies That Make List Building For Free Really Pay Off!
You already realize ( or at least you should), why constantly strategically building your very own, opt in email/mobile marketing subscriber/customer list is so potentially profitable,correct?
The following powerful three, low cost, battlefield tested marketing strategies will allow you to (both) quickly and strategically build your very own highly responsive list, typically within 90 days or less.
For ex; let’s suppose (strictly) for illustration purposes only, you run a successful local small Mom & Pop hardware store.
Based on your stores size, there is simply no way you can (or are you) even trying to compete (price wise anyway) with the local Home Depots and Wall Marts in your immediate area.
Instead like a ton of other successful mom & pop small business owners and or service providers, you heavily rely on your other marketing advantages.
(Like) by placing a much bigger emphasis on, hit it out of the park customer service.
So Why In The World Shouldn’t You Start Implementing Some Battlefield Tested List Building Techniques And Or Strategies Right Now!
That being said, here is how one particular battlefield tested, long term list building marketing strategy, which could potentially work extremely well for you.(Both now and going forward.)
1.) Power List building strategy # one: See if this first power list building scenario sounds all too familiar.
The typical mom & pop small business owner that has a discontinued product, they merely lower the price down to their actual cost.
Or they actually take a lost, in order to quickly liquidate the product and make room for the newer inventory. Sound familiar?
That might work for them, but it’s not nearly effective enough for you. Instead, what if you decided to turn that discontinued inventory. (Or soon to be) discounted or soon to be out of season inventory into a long term profit center.Huh?
Here’s how this incredibly powerful long term list building marketing strategy might work for you. Suppose your hardware store has nine unsold top of the line barbecue pits left.
And it’s now late September. Which means, the height of outdoor barbecue season is all but over for the year.Correct?
Don’t Get Caught Up In Trying To Utilize The Newest Marketing Strategies And Or Tactics!
Instead of just massively discounting your price in order to quickly move the previously unsold inventory.
What if you did the following instead, or at least inexpensively tested this powerful and potentially profitable marketing strategy.
For testing purposes, you and at least five of your top local strategic alliance (joint venture partners) agree to hold a free drawing, surprise.
Think about it. Five separate local stores that are non competitive to yours, (but) need the exact same customers, holds a free drawing offering one of your soon to be out of season (and or) soon to be discontinued items. In this particular case, it’s one of your top of the line barbecue pits.
These five strategic alliance (JV partners) hold a free (on or offline) drawing for 60-90 days. They collect, (list build) for the next 60-90 days, and then they choose the grand prize winner(s.)
One person (or couple) wins the grand prize and the other 99% are strategically added to your VIP opt in email/mobile marketing list. Yes!
Don’t Discount And Or Ignore So Called Free Marketing Strategies And Or Tactics!
Which means that your long term power list building efforts are multiplied,agreed?
2.) Power List building strategy # two: Here is another long term power list building strategy.If nothing else, you can inexpensively test.
Suppose you have a digital product of some kind. (Like) maybe a new course that you’ve recently completed, and you’re about to launch it on a massive scale.
Strictly for illustration purposes. Let’s say your course currently retails for $197-$397 dollars (or X) amount of dollars.
You make the following extremely generous offer to your top JV launch partners. And the only ones that qualify for this particular revenue split, is they have to have previously sold X amount of dollars in affiliate products for you.
Just Make Darn Sure Your Marketing Plan Structure Is Based Off Of Sound Marketing Fundamentals!
Or they have their very own list of at least 10,000 (or more) opt in subscribers.Or offline, snail mail database of X or more.
Or they can get you personal access to at least five other successful marketers that have their own list, and between the five of them, their list total equals 50,000 opt ins or more.
You allow your top JV partners that qualify to keep 75- 100% of the front end generated profits!
Say what? You gotta be kidding. Nope. Think about it for a second. If your course retails for $397 dollars (or X amount of dollars.) And your top JV partners/affiliates, get to keep 75- 100% of the commissions from all the initial front end sales they make.
Really Good Marketing Strategies And Or Tactics Can Often Be Created Out Mediocre Approaches!
Do you think they’ll give your launch top priority and 100% of their best efforts? And do everything possible to see that your launch is a massive success? Yep!
Of course you’re thinking, why on earth would you do this, and how do you possibly benefit from such a generous marketing strategy?
Because you definitely understand the total lifetime value customer value metric of each customer/client.
So you realize that it’s your customers lifetime value over months or years that really matter.Right?
You’ll build a list of proven buyers, not just subscribers that you can potentially market to, (especially) by inexpensive email and or text message for years and years to come.
Obviously, you will need additional products and services in order to successfully implement this powerful battlefield tested marketing strategy.
Your affiliates earn 80-100% of the initial upfront profits, but you’ll quickly build an extremely valuable responsive buyers list.
Which you can pro-actively market on the back end to, and keep 100% of the long term profits.Plus enjoy their bank account filling testimonials and all of their social media praise as well.
Your Long Term Success Is The Very Best Example Of A Marketing Plan That Really Works!
3.) Power List building strategy # three: And lastly, suppose your just starting out with extremely limited funds.
Why not approach one of your best JV (joint venture) partners and purchase one of their soon to be discounted and or soon to be out of season products.
Purchase it at cost, (so) your JV partner(s) doesn’t suffer any upfront lost and offer it via a free drawing to your customer/client base.
They’ll join your list, you choose the grand prize winner(s.) And strategically follow up with them (via) inexpensive opt in email and earn a lot more money, for a whole lot less. Sound good?
That’s why you should seriously consider power list building for free marketing strategies and or tactics. No matter what your particular niche is.Don’t you agree?
