The "Fun" Method to Learn Direct Response Marketing
Funny stuff... funny stuff...
Yesterday, we were out at our local brew-pub getting our burger and beer fix. When out of the blue my spouse began to laugh. I thought she was poking fun at me.
Did I've something wedged during my teeth?
Was a fry stuck to my cheek?
Turns out neither.
And when Gurus my wife why she was chuckling, she explained she felt embarrassed saying.
Embarrassed?
I said:
"Honey, we can talk about anything. You are able to feel comfortable saying what's on your mind. And that i promise not to judge you..."
So she caved, and explained she was excited The american idol show was starting a brand new season.
The american idol show?
I had no clue this Television show was ramping back up.
So...
We finished our burgers and beer. We paid our waiter. And my wife drug me the place to find catch the very first episode. Positive thing too... as this show is bursting just like a water balloon with tons of direct response marketing tips.
Like:
The power of celebrity marketing:
Just look at the judges on American Idol. Let's see. You have Steven Tyler that has been the front man for just one of the very successful hard rock bands ever. Then, you got Jennifer Lopez who needs no explanation. And lastly, you got Randy Jackson who has worked in the music biz since the dawn of the dinosaurs.
My point?
That Idol certainly uses lots of celebrities to promote the show.
The strength of contest marketing:
Contests are among the fastest (and most fun) methods to grow a small company. Just look at Idol. Sure, the ultimate goal would be to win and be a famous recording artist. But what really gets contestants going is the whole idea that they are competing against everybody else.
And nobody loves to lose.
So how do you need a contest to market your small business?
And the power of referral marketing:
Honestly, one thing I did to build my small business so it dominated a very competitive niche is... I used multiple strategies that drove referrals through my doors all month long
The american idol show does this too.
Just look at how many people waiting in line brought someone together... who wants to check out too. In some cases, they can brought family members.
Discuss the strength of referral marketing.
There's a lot more marketing tips cleverly stuffed into each The american idol show episode, you just have to know what to look for.
And one very last thing:
If you're seriously interested in growing your company, then more than likely all you need is some more good ideas such as the one in this short article.
So ask yourself this:
Where are you able to turn for additional plans like that which you just read in this article?
In my humble opinion, you have to be careful in which you look for plans because almost everyone as well as their brother states be a so-called 'business expert'.
Remember:
Saying is one thing.
Doing is yet another.
And most of these "talking heads" haven't run their own successful small business.
