Old School Still Works Great & Most is FREE and Easy
HELLO SpidersWeb MEMBERS
Recently, I said to myself how can reach a totally new market who have money and the need for a web presence or new income sources?
The trick I told myself was that it had to be free or really cheap and it had to be done without the need for a computer. I figured that that way, anyone, even kids could do it.
My answer was to go Old School!
What do I mean?
I said simply go to where the prospects hang out (coffee shops, book stores, internet cafe’s, etc.) and simply drop cards into popular books, magazines, and in pant and shirt pockets while shopping as normal consumer. No pushy banter or sales talk of any kind… just handing out cards I thought they might like to read.
You all may say, wow thats sneaky or think you are too shy to do that. I Think it is a way to reach people long term, it’s not hard, it’s not pushy, but it does take time and dedication each week to get out there in the public arena. I really enjoy the challenge of finding new places to leave my cards.
On top of all this you can also drop your cards in cashiers hands, hand them out with tips for baggers or waiters, set them in phone booths and even in the newspaper racks with the car and home ads.
Another simple method I’ve been using also is to put my card in when paying bills. People open and take care of your payments so always include a card or two with any check or payment you make.
I know, these methods are not new and with the way email is sometimes is getting with spam filters and state law requirements, you if you really NEED to start exploring new ways to get your message out if you really want to explode your business.
You are going to have to get out of your comfort zone and go out and meet real people, indentify group leaders and take the time to train them to duplicate some of these simple old school marketing methods.
One last simple method that 99% of all successful business owners use and 99% of all who fail don’t use!
Put a simple sign on the back of your car that says: Tired living Paycheck to Paycheck want to earn more! rcd msg XXX-XXX-XXXX or YourDomain.com
this way, no matter where you go, you are advertising your business.
We don’t need to re invent the wheel. Just keep it simple and show your members You Care about Them!
Have fun!
