Unlike the vast your majority of your major competitors. Thank goodness you’re no longer willing to spend, (more like waste!) a staggering $25,000 or more per month.
On those outrageously expensive, dismally performing local billboard ad or full and half page local Sunday newspaper ad campaigns. Instead simply due to an incredibly simple and short conversations with one of your oldest and most reliable vendors.
And one of your most reliable suppliers. You’ve quickly come to realize there is literally a ton of potential new business. You or your major competitors can and definitely should strategically and systematically access. For literally pennies on the dollar. Say what?

1.) Potential marketing strategy # one: You can and should seriously consider whether it makes economic sense to allow at least some of your most reliable vendors or suppliers. Get this. To offer some of your best market tested. Extremely time sensitive gift certificates.
Or first time customer only time sensitive discount coupons to their current and future customer base. As “thank You for Your Business! gifts. And JV (Joint Venture) revenue share with them. Anywhere from 25-80% of the initial front end gross profit of each new first time customer generated. Huh?
Knowing you or your major competitors will consistently net 100% of all the future back end sales, referrals and bank account filling testimonials going forward. Can you say kaching?
2.) Potential marketing strategy # two: Create some incredible word of mouth and mouse buzz. Simply by letting your vendors and suppliers current and future employees and or associates etc.
For an extremely limited time. Simply for joining you or your major competitors opt in email or text message list. And simply for dragging a friend to your store whose at least 18.
