If I don't get my thinking cap on fast I am going to be left behind.
Have you asked yourself the reason why?
Could they be doing something that your not?
You need to ask yourself some questions,
Like perhaps!
Q. Am I selling the right products, and do my customers like them?
A. Yes my customers love my products they keep buying them, obviously not the problem.
Q. Are my prices too high?
A. No, nobody has looked for bigger discounts. Obviously not the problem.
Q. Am I giving a great service to my existing customers?
A. Yes they say my service could not be better. Obviously not the problem.
Q. Have I increased the number of New Customers compared to this time last Year?
A. No not really, my new customers are only up by 3% compared to last year.
Ok we have just discovered that the reason that business has only grown by a miniscule amount is because we have not increased our new customer numbers
Bingo-----!
Conventional marketing tools like YELLOW PAGES, NEWSPAPERS and TV have all had their day and you know this because these are the tools you have been using for years and lately they are not cutting the ice. WHY? Because they cannot compete with that thing called the INTERNET !!!!!!!.
Ask any of your staff or customers if they browse the internet to buy things and you can be sure that they will answer... of course they do, don't you?
More people browse the internet each day searching for products and information than all the numbers of people who watch TV, read Newspapers or look up The Yellow Pages put together for a month.
So can you imagine the amount of people you can reach by learning to market a small business online?
If you were to pay for the conventional old fashioned types of advertising looking to get the numbers that you can get online, most likely you would not be able to afford it, and that would be after paying an overly priced marketing company to design or shoot your add, Hmmm I don't think so.. !
Did you know that you can learn to market a small business online and produce results that will rocket your sales figures into outer space?.......Well maybe not into outer space, but certainly you can expect to double or triple your bottom line when you learn to market your small business online.
