Three All Too Common Internet Marketing Mistakes Far Too Many Entrepreneurs Make!Part Three

Now as you previously discovered in part two of this ongoing series,about “how” avoiding altogether and or  correcting asap,some of these all too common Internet marketing mistakes, can and definitely will lead to  some major potential long term profit opportunities. Don’t you agree? Hope so.

But specifically in part two, you also discovered “how” unfortunately, even some of the major offline  businesses, in some of the most respected and well established industries.

They still often make (on a regular  basis I might add), this one particular (cardinal) marketing mistake.

And whether they realize it or not, it is simply costing them big time. Because for one thing, they are having  to compensate for making this one particular (major) marketing mistake over and over, by having to spend a  proverbial fortune, trying to address it using the outrageously expensive, traditional methods!

Stuff like running a ton of classified ads in the some of the most expensive local newspapers in the area.

When, as you also previously discovered in part two, often times, a far more viable (and therefore)  potentially far more profitable (and much less expensive) creative solution, is often right under their collective noses!

So “How” Do Extremely Savvy Marketers Such As Yourself Readily Benefit From Some Of These All Too Common Internet Marketing Mistakes?

Quickly picking up where part one left off. As you recall, a savvy local furniture store (with some serious plans for a few additional future stores in the works!) had become extremely aggressive about building and maintaining their all important opt in email list.

And (to date) two of their most aggressive and effective email marketing tactics was, (each year) starting in late May through late September, they would hold monthly in store raffles of some kind.

And they would display really nice master bedroom sets, that would normally retail for anywhere from $6,500 -$,7,500 dollars or more! But you could potentially win it, simply by paying a one time (raffle entry fee of) in this particular case only! A mere $500 dollars or X!

But hold on cadets, because we’re not to the truly good part just yet! There’s also a giant (Stevie Wonder couldn’t miss it!) neon signs that reads “only current VIP email subscribers can enter!”

Now fellas, I got gotta “warn” you, that as you’re casually strolling through that store with your? A.) Spouse.B) Live in significant other! 3.) Current girl and or lady friend etc! 

Like it or not, somebody’s joining their opt in email list today and more than likely (they’re) also gonna hit you up for the on the spot $500 dollar raffle entry fee too! 😀 Just saying!

And that’s cool! And that’s one of the ways this extremely savvy retail furniture concern, (has and is) currently in the process of building this rather large and extremely responsive opt in email list! Now let’s head to the next level shall we?

Having A Huge Opt In list Is One Thing But Learning How To Systematically Profit From It Is Something Else Altogether!

Here’s where they (or you!) take their potential long term profit making opportunities to an entirely different level! Now this particular furniture concern, even though they’re extremely active on social media. Meaning: they currently have a twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn and or Pinterest account etc!

They are in no way “experts” (by any stretch of the imagination!) when it comes to consistently maximizing any type of potential profits, from their presence on the various social media platforms!

And (truth told!) the very last time they attempted to use a Pay Per Click (PPC) ad campaign, to quickly drive some (relatively inexpensive) highly targeted traffic to one of their WordPress blogs. Their campaigns completed tanked!

Because they don’t currently have any body on staff, that really has the much needed specialized “expertise” that they so desperately need! And that’s “why” they’ve been flirting with running some outrageously expensive classified ads, in some of the local papers, in order to hire the right personnel.

That is before, they decided to merely tap into a current (extremely) under utilized asset they already have!So instead they decide to send a few carefully crafted (broadcast) emails to their ever growing opt in email list.

Basically asking “if” anyone currently owns and or works for and or is related to someone that has the following desperately needed skills! That they’re pro-actively looking for!

But of course they go a step or two further! Here’s how they are able to simply hit it out of the park! They alert their much valued VIP email subscriber base, (that to date currently stands at 6,479 and growing!)

That whoever personally introduces them to any reputable business owner and or service provider (preferably a local one), they will automatically win a master bedroom set and or living room set (their choice!), that’s guaranteed to have a current retail value of $4,000 dollars or more!

Plus, a $1,000 dollar gas card and $1,000 dollars in cash, plus $500 dollars in local grocery store gift coupons, to the major grocery store chain of their choice!

Ladies & gentlemen, do you really think this furniture store (and or you) will have any real problems, locating a few extremely reputable business owners and or service providers, that they might be able to potentially barter services with?

Simply by ethically bribing their VIP email subscribers into shaking the local grapevine! You got that right! And (hopefully) can you now see and start to appreciate “how” these all too common Internet marketing mistakes, just might be worth a mini fortune to your bottom line? Say yes!
