E-tip 65 – 30 ways to do your marketing!

You know, so many people say I’ve tried everything and when I ask them really? they rattle off a list of about 3 or 4 things.

And so, I set myself the challenge of how many ways to market a business or activities I could come up with in 3 minutes. The following 30 ways sprung to mind. How many do you use?

1. Website
2. Email
3. Promotion
4. Public Relations
5. Advertising
6. Discounts
7. Special offers
8. Referrals – word of mouth
9. Direct mail
10. Newsletters
11. Freebies
12. Giving talks and presentations
13. Text/SMS
14. Telesales
15. Giving interviews
16. Writing articles
17. Blogging
18. Sneezers
19. Newspaper inserts
20. Exhibitions
21. Sales and marketing reps
22. Networking
23. Media
24. Mp3
25. Downloads
26. Screensavers
27. Giftware
28. Video/DVD
29. Viral marketing
30. Podcasts

And this is just the tip of the iceberg.

And I suggest you do the ones that fit you naturally and you’ll come across as genuine and natural.

If you dislike telesales – then don’t do it as people will pick up your hesitancy. Better to create ‘warm leads’ and follow those up.

If you love meeting people then go networking – and that includes everyone you meet: in the supermarket check-out queue, at the bank, at the post-office, in the pub, at the gym, wherever you hang out – this is what lucky people do (hint – people like people like themselves)

If you love writing like me and have lots to share, then write newsletters, or blogs and give away freebies.

After all, if people love what you give away for free, just think what amazing things you have to offer paying clients!!!

Until we meet…
