Marketing is one of the most important business factors. From my
experience, I have just listed 10 effective marketing strategies
that have helped my marketing development, and hope will help
your business,too. Here are 10 secret and effective marketing
strategies.
1. Create a directory of web sites on a specific topic. Give
people the option of adding the directory to their web site by
linking to it. Put your business advertisement at the top of the
director's home page. This technique will get lots of people to
linkto your web site and give you free advertising.
2. Do you have a product or service that doesn't sell good?
Offer it as a free bonus for someone else's product or service.
Get free advertising by placing your web site or business ad on
the product or in the product package.
3. Trade autoresponder ads with other businesses. If both of you
send out information with auto-responders just exchange a small
classified ad to put at the bottom or top of each other's
autoresponder message.
4. Start a free tip line. Offer a free daily, weekly, or monthly
tip recorded on your voice mail. The tips should be related to
your business. Include your ad for your web site or business at
the beginning or end of your message.
5. Exchange content with other web sites and ezines. You could
trade articles, top ten lists, etc. Both parties could include a
resource box at the end of the content.
6. Offer to insert ads into your product package for other
businesses. Just ask, in return that they do the same for your
business. You should only trade insert ads with businesses that
have the same target audience.
7. Offer a free daily class in your web site's chat room. The
class should be related to the subject of your business or web
site. This will get people to visit your web site everyday.
8. Do you have a product that doesn't sell good? Offer it as a
free bonus for another businesses product or service. You'll get
free advertising by placing your web site or business ad on the
free bonus.
9. Place different emotional response ads for the same product
or service all over your web site. One ad may hit their hot
button to buy more than another ad.
10. Publish your e-zine in e-book format. You could offer a
larger number of articles per issue. It also allows you to
include graphics with your ezine.Your advertising revenue would
increase because you could charge businesses for large color ads.
