1. Define who you want to sell to. At least define who you want to sell to the most. Work out how much these customers are worth for the lifetime of their patronage. You should be allocating about 10% of total revenue to marketing activities.
2. Develop standard marketing templates that anyone in the organisation can use to promote your product/service. Have these readily available on the web.
3. Testminonials. Ask your most loyal clients for a testimonial of about 3 sentences in length. Ask if you can use this on your website and if you can use parts of it. Also cut it down to 10 word pieces for use in marketing materials.
4.Finders’ Fee. Allocate a percentage of each sale to a finders fee. Use this on the back of business cards to promote your business through existing contacts.
5.Use your clients in your marketing. Use co-operative marketing by placing a reference to your clients on your website. Ask them to do the same using a pre prepared 30 word introduction.
6.Create brand ambassadors. A program we have found works well is allowing your customers to try products for free in return for writing reviews about them online.
7.Develop a network of companies that sell products in the same space. Offer referral fees and conduct joint marketing exercises.
8.Give people a voice. Allow students/schools/community groups to use your premises/expertise/products for free.
9.Make it easy for people to buy from you. Allow for sales to occur over the phone, over the web and in person.
10.Give people a guarentee and risk free options. Make it an easy choice for people to purchase products from you.
