The "Fun" Way 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 without warning my spouse started to laugh. I figured she was poking fun at me.
Did I've something wedged in my teeth?
Would be a fry stuck to my cheek?
Works out neither.
So when Gurus my spouse why she was chuckling, she told me she felt embarrassed telling me.
Embarrassed?
I said:
"Honey, we can discuss anything. You can feel at ease telling me what's in your thoughts. 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.
American Idol?
I had no clue this TV show was ramping support.
So...
We finished our burgers and beer. We paid our waiter. And my wife drug me home to catch the very first episode. Good thing too... because this show is bursting like a water balloon with a lot of direct response marketing tips.
Like:
The power of celebrity marketing:
Just consider the judges on American Idol. Let's see. You got Steven Tyler that has been the front man for one of the most successful hard rock bands ever. Then, you have Jennifer Lopez who needs no explanation. And lastly, you got Randy Jackson that has worked within the music biz since the dawn from the dinosaurs.
My point?
That Idol certainly uses plenty of celebrities to promote the show.
The strength of contest marketing:
Contests are among the fastest (and many fun) methods to grow a small company. Just take a look at Idol. Sure, the ultimate goal is to win and be a famous recording artist. But what really gets contestants going may be the whole concept that they are competing against everybody else.
And nobody loves to lose.
So how do you need a tournament to market your online business?
And also the power of referral marketing:
Honestly, one of the things I did to construct my small business so it dominated a really competitive niche is... I made use of multiple strategies that drove referrals through my doors all month long
The american idol show does this too.
Just look at the number of people browsing line brought someone with them... who would like to try out too. In some instances, they can brought family members.
Talk about the strength of referral marketing.
There's a lot more marketing tips cleverly stuffed into each American Idol episode, you just need to know what to look for.
And one very last thing:
If you are seriously interested in growing your company, then most likely all you need is a few more good ideas like the one out of this short article.
So ask yourself this:
Where are you able to turn for more plans like that which you just read in the following paragraphs?
During my humble opinion, you have to be careful where you look for good ideas because just about everybody as well as their brother claims to be a so-called 'business expert'.
Remember:
Saying is a thing.
Doing is yet another.
And most of those "talking heads" haven't run their own successful small business.
