But you also need to strategically utilize the enormous long term marketing leverage, to be gained from (both) positive word of mouth and mouse!
Because when your top twenty percent customer/client base decides to start spreading enthusiastically the word!Both on and offline.

Three More Battlefield Tested Marketing Strategies That You Can Successfully Implement Before Lunch!
Here’s where Walmart or (major retailer X) simply put’s this high powered marketing strategy on steroids! The twenty per centers (that’s code) for shoppers that initially spent over $300 dollars and got put into an additional secret weekly free drawing, where every week, starting in late October through December 31st, three of them are guaranteed the chance to win in gift certificate credits, the exact same amount they spent!
But here’s where this type of underground -think outside the box- ninja marketing strategy (simply) goes viral and into overdrive!
Walmart also has a hidden page on their WordPress blog, and all the shopper has to do is enter the month and day they were born, not the year! And they’re automatically entered into Walmart s monthly “birthday club as well!”
Each month, Walmart will inform six grand prize winners, three women & three men (18 and over) that as long they have their receipts, they get gift certificate credits for those purchases! No minimum purchases required!
Plus, all the runner ups automatically get to make one purchase and they can buy any item in the store at major retailer X’s actual cost! Sat what? Think about “what” happens from now on, every time friends, family members, co-workers or whomever comes to their house, and see their beautiful state of the $7,500 dollar home entertainment system, that they only paid $2,800 dollars (or X amount of dollars ) for!
What (pray tell) entrepreneur, do you think they will most certainly wanna know? You got that right! But here my friend is Walmart (and Kmart) if they were really paying attention! Here’s where they simply hit it out of the park! (And really increase their profits!)
They let every member of their (ever growing) $300 dollar and up VIP special members club! They can send anyone over 18 to another “secret” page (meaning- hidden from the general public) on major retailer X’s WordPress blog, and they can use the VIP customers special affiliate -lifetime- link number and the visitor gets a special laminated discount coupon (that gets mailed to the.) Or they can simply have it texted to them, then they can come in and get a special laminated card, they can use to get 25% off their purchases for the next twelve months! And simply re-new it every year for just X!
Plus, they can come in on their birthday and buy any one item for 50% off! And as long as they use their laminated card, which has the affiliates code number (ID) on it! And Walmart or major retailer X, credits the affiliates account with a 10% credit on every purchase!
And watch “how” Walmart maximizes their long term profits,for literally pennies on the dollar! In part three! And once again, you’ll discover some mega proven marketing strategies that you can implement, if not before lunch! Then certainly by the end of the week! Don’t you agree?
