Do you know what your advantages are?  Knowing the advantages will get you ahead, you knew that, right? Whatever your company is about, whatever your products do, usually there are at least something that your product does better than your competitors.
Yesterday I needed some glue to fix a tiny piece of by boots. I went to the shop and there was a variety of super glues available. And to my surprise the price differences were huge. The 3g Super Glue cost 10x less than Super Attack. And as far as I have understood they do pretty mu... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing Do-you-know-what-your-advantages-are--46.html Advertising with style? We all have seen very stylish and great looking ads, ads that are interesting to watch and that win awards. But do they sell? Do they make you remember the product they are promoting or do you remember the great ad but you don’t remember for what it was? I have really seen a lot of great ads but when I’m telling about them to someone, I seldom can remember what the ad actually promoted. That’s often the problem with stylish ads. Stylish & great looking ads do NOT equal most selling ads, these ar... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing Advertising-with-style--41.html Selling something that doesn’t exist (yet) Entrepreneurs spend days, weeks, months in order to come up with new products which, very often, might not even sell. But what if you could see its selling power before you create the product?
This would mean you don’t spend the time nor money to create products or services that won’t sell. In a very broad view, it might look like I’m suggesting you to become a scam artist, but just think about it. You are not selling air. You are actually selling a product which you don’t have yet. But if y... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing Selling-something-that-doesnt-exist-yet--39.html Feeding the journalists I’m usually working in cafeterias. Why? Well, like I have mentioned in my previous posts, that’s where I feel I’m most motivated to work and have the least distractions. Today, after registering in a driving school (yes, have postponed it for years, enough is enough), I went to a cafeteria again (well, I’m still here) and a journalist approached me.
It turned out he was writing an article to a local business newspaper about people working in cafeterias (not as employees but people using the c... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing Feeding-the-journalists--28.html What can you learn from movies? I bet you’ve seen some movie where the guy playing the main role gets into some serious trouble. Now to get out of it he makes a phone call to everyone involved, he calls them all to invite them to the same place at the same time ... on different reasons course. And then the series of events start rolling open. Usually it has been greatly done, great cinema I would say.
But what can you learn from it? For one thing, do your homework and learn to know the people involved. Or people who are no... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing What-can-you-learn-from-movies--25.html What problems does your product solve? Many of us already have products that we want to market. When it’s usual that you find a problem and then create a product to solve this problem, you could easily do it the other way around as well.
Imagine you have a product but you’re not sure yet how to promote it. What’s different about your product? Why is it good? What facts can we use to promote it? What problems does your product solve? Lets take an online magazine, we could use one of my own publications – The Cheers magazine (theche... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing What-problems-does-your-product-solve--24.html What can we learn from con artists Marketing your new ventures might be a difficult task. But in order to make something successful you need to find all the possible ways of getting the most of your efforts. That's where some lessons from con artists might come handy.
I was just watching a documentary about a swedish...I think he was swedish, con artist...Richard smth. He was pretty much able to do anything - sell fake information to Syrian embassy, pretend to be an airplane pilot with engine problems causing an evacuation of ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing What-can-we-learn-from-con-artists--22.html Why is summer the best time to launch a new project? Many business experts claim that summer is not a very good time for coming out with a new project. While partly they might be right, it’s far from the full truth. Let me explain.
Why summer might not be so good?
People are taking a rest during the summer; different people working in various industries might not be able to answer your emails or phone calls. So if it is important to get in touch and talk with people in order to get your project up & running then it might be a bit problematic. ... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing Why-is-summer-the-best-time-to-launch-a-new-project--19.html Would you buy what you sell? Marketing your company or product right can do wonderful things to your business. But only if done right. Not all advertising is good. All advertising do not increase sales. Good advertising can increase sales 20 times, however, bad advertising that costs millions can make people buy less than no advertising at all.
In order to market something right, you need to start with the most basic questions. What your product DOES? WHO is it meant for?
What sells a product?
There’s no one right a... read more Comments (0) / Link to this topic - http://www.businessadvicepro.com/marketing Would-you-buy-what-you-sell--7.html |
