Going into this fifth installment, of this ongoing series, hopefully, you’re now starting to better appreciate, just how much, strategic marketing leverage, is readily available to your semi to severely cash strapped, small business, correct?
And don’t forget, you can always throwaway an outrageous fortune, on dismally performing, cash and resource draining,traditional advertising methods.
The real question is, (two fold.) Primarily, why in the world would you want to?
And can you really afford to keep doing so? After all, what if, as a direct result of a little strategic testing and closely monitoring, you were to become aware, of how a far less expensive,and or time consuming, non traditional marketing strategy, is readily available to you.
And it dramatically lowered, your upfront out of pocket cost by a size able amount. Wouldn’t this more than justify,the money and effort you invest, in order to become aware of it?
I sincerely hope so. Let’s have an even closer look under the hood, just to be sure.
Since There Is Definitely Some Bankable Marketing Leverage Opportunities Readily Available To Your Resourced Challenged Small Business! (Why Continually Waste A Fortune On Dismally Performing Advertising Campaigns?)
Before diving head long into the actual meat of this particular post. Have you ever tried to do any type of prolonged, cold calling of potential prospects?
If not, take my advice from painstaking personal experience, from way back in the day. It totally sucks! On it’s best and most rewarding days!
Since Your Financial Resources And Or Assets Are Semi Limited!(Doesn’t It Make Sense To Maximize Your Returns!)
But here’s the main point; Do you really have the time, resources and or patience, to try and build your business and or service, using such a time consuming, and incredibly painful process. Probably not, correct?
And by the same token, do you really have the money, to continuously throwaway a fortune on dismally performing, outrageously expensive, traditional advertising campaigns?
This being the case, you’re probably open, to inexpensively exploring (testing), some non traditional, proven ways of consistently generating, some bankable marketing leverage, right?
Ever Notice How Some Proven Ways To Promote Your Business Ultimately Save You Time And Money?
Case in point, as you recall from parts two & three, of this ongoing series. My buddy Anthony Haddad, of seoforjewelers.com fame.
His firm offers, affordable expert advice, in helping savvy entrepreneurs, (of all types), reach and maintain, top rankings, for various long tail keyword phrases, on the 1st and second page of Google.
And they’ve got a stellar track record of success, and extremely long, and ever growing list, of satisfied, VIP customers and long term repeat clients.
Who will gladly attest and verify the effectiveness of their top notch services.
In which case, they could spend an outrageous fortune, using traditional advertising methods, to make their target market aware of them.
Or, they can implement, some low cost, high powered, alternative marketing strategies, and earn a lot more long term, gross front and back end profits. For a whole lot less!Which approach makes more sense to you?
Do You Really Need To Hire A Fancy Lead Generation Service To Connect With Your Ideal Prospects?
Case in point. What if instead of spending tons of money, on outrageously expensive, traditional advertising campaigns of some kind.
My buddy over at seoforjewelers.com, inexpensively tested and periodically tweaked, the following, alternative marketing approaches.
First, they approached, some reputable, expert WordPress web designer, like maybe my Coach and Mentor, the one and only, Jupiter Jim Landers.
Customized Joint Ventures Are Definitely Proven Marketing Strategy!
Since Jupiter Jim routinely builds, state of the art WordPress and or paid memberships sites. And has various price ranges and accompanying packages, to fit practically any profit seeking entrepreneurs budget.
What if Jupiter Jim, offered, seoforjewelers, free website ranking analysis audits, to both his high end customers, and or high end, one on one consulting clients as a free special, limited time bonus.It’s a $299 dollar value!
Your Well Thought Out Email Marketing Campaigns Will Definitely Save And Make You A Bundle!
Or, what if, the high end, website designers and or PPC (Pay Per Click) account managers, offered seoforjewelers free, website ranking analysis audits, to their best, VIP customers, as free bonus gifts, during the major holiday season!
And or, as powerful free bonus gifts, valued at X. Simply for referring new potential business their way.And or for providing video and or audio testimonials etc!
Again, let’s say all of this non traditional marketing activity means, only about 30% of those, who accept the free audit analysis, end up becoming full paying customers of some kind, for Anthony’s firms services.Two things are likely to eventually happen.

1.) First: The initial seven out of ten, (or) 70% of the prospects, who-for whatever reasons- initially declined to become paying customers.Are still, now part of seoforjewelers, VIP, opt in email/mobile marketing list, correct?
Which means, they can and most definitely will, become part of their ongoing, follow up sales funnel process.
2.) Second: And periodically, whenever Anthony’s firm, needs to generate, some positive word of mouth and mouse buzz. And more importantly, some spendable cash,they can make, a extremely time sensitive, discounted price offer of some kind, to their opt in subscribers, can they not?
And ultimately, they’ll gradually convert, some of those VIP subscribers, into paying customers.Who can and definitely will, upgrade to even more expensive, customized services down the road.
They’ll also, eventually refer more business, (for pennies on the dollar!) Plus they’ll enthusiastically provide a video, audio and or written testimonial of some kind!
