Without spending a proverbial fortune, on dismally performing, outrageously expensive, traditional advertising campaigns.
Remember, any novice and or aspiring or cash strapped, and resourced challenged entrepreneur, can waste a ton of money on non productive, traditional advertising campaigns. Right?

This is no way to try and run and or grow your business and or service, correct?

Quickly picking up where part one left off. Let’s say after several months, your exotic beverage distribution business,now has at least three, local, non directly competing businesses, who are officially cross promotional partners.
And they agree to allow your business to set up a demonstration booth inside their shop, and offer their customers or clients, free large sample cups, of some of your most popular beverages.
And you’ll do so, at least once every other week, both during the brutally hot summer, and bitterly cold winter months.
In exchange for this rather exclusive insider access, you agree to provide the owners of these businesses and or services, with monthly free, 10 or X pound bags of the exotic beverages of their choice.

Think about this incredibly simple marketing ploy for just a second.On certain days of the year, like Mothers, Valentines and or National Secretaries day etc.
Your booth, will be set up in their local business, and you’ll personally be serving, (primarily) their female customers, some of your most popular exotic beverages.
Plus, you’ll also provide these potential first time customers, with some extremely time sensitive, first time customer only discount coupons.

And as an additional, low cost, high impact viral marketing strategy. The first twenty five (or X) number of women, who spend over X amount of money, your distribution business, will gladly sell them a 10 lb. bag, of the exotic beverage of their choice, at your actual cost.
So you know, between the large free sample they initially receive, and the 10 lb. bag of whatever, they get to purchase at your actual hard cost.
They’ll definitely be extremely active on social media, will they not? 😀 You better believe it.
Also, let’s say you’ve successfully negotiated a potentially lucrative cross promotional arrangement with a local florist.

And every time the florist delivers flowers, they also include, one of your very best, market tested, extremely time sensitive, first time only, customer discount coupons.
