Whatever you're selling, these easy practical steps will help you market more effectively:
Always present yourself well. Everything from the way you dress to your website campaign must be viewed as professionalism. Use business cards regularly – hand them out to everyone you meet
Use low cost advertising. Use a good, effective and attractive logo design, Brochures, letterhead, business cards, Postcards, Other Web Sites and Directories.
Spend at least 1 hour a day marketing. Ignore the other advice about 'accomplish this in 10 minutes' this won't work as it takes you at least half an hour to get going with it. So many don't treat marketing as a normal every day task – they then complain when they don't get many enquiries.
Know what makes you special in customer's eyes. Remind them of the benefits of your fantastic product, they may have forgotten it as time goes by.
Sort out the people who don't want your product. Eliminate them from your sales campaigns – they aren't good prospects anyway, and you'll waste valuable time selling to them.
Know what you want to market. It's easy to lose focus when marketing something personal to you, so don't invest in useless activities, it won't work. Have a clear exact objective as a target at all times.
Trial & Error. Successful businesses all start from somewhere, and you can't avoid experimenting with lot's of marketing techniques. You have to, because nobody will tell you how to do marketing – unless you pay them.
