Small Business Marketing Secrets to Give You ‘Big Business’ Results on a Small Business Budget
Effective small business marketing means any business can
succeed: any where and in any economy.
At least, you can as long as you pay attention to the simple but extremely powerful marketing fundamentals I share with you on this website.
And while I cannot promise you individual success, because
there are so many events we cannot control, I promise if you apply these fundamentals consistently in your business, then you have the best possible chance to achieve extraordinary business success.
Statistics tell us something like 80% of businesses fail
within the first 5 years; many fail within the first 12 months. Why is this?
It's certainly not through lack of desire and willingness to
work hard. No it's because...
Most
Small Business Owners Make This Marketing Mistake
Small business marketing is the most important activity you
can engage in. Why? Because if you don’t market yourself, you
don’t have any customers or clients; no customers or clients, then you don’t have a business. It’s a simple truth.
But it’s a truth most small business owners are either unaware of or, if they are aware of it, choose to ignore. I understand why
this is -- you don’t want to be marketing yourself. It’s not your real “business”.
Your business is doing whatever you’re set up to do
for your clients and customers, right? Wrong.
Whatever business “thing” you do, whether
it’s retail, plumbing, carpet cleaning, or even helping business owners increase profits by 50% to 250% within 12 months like I do, your real business is the marketing of your
“thing” business business.
How
To Solve All Your Business Problems
Let me now make a bold claim: there are very few business problems you can’t solve with good small business marketing.
And I know it is a bold claim, but it’s one I stand by 100%.
You see, you can very simply break the task of growing your business down into two parts:
Getting qualified leads.
Converting them to paying customers and clients.
It’s that simple -- and it applies whether your business is
online or offline, of a combination of both.
Moreover, it’s always been that simple and it probably always
will be (at least for as long as you and I will be interested in it
-- we’ll all be long gone before we evolve sufficiently for
anyone to notice).
So, when people tell you small business marketing in your industry is somehow “different”, they’re wrong. They either don’t understand it and are simply repeating something they’ve been told parrot-fashion, or they’re trying to sell you something. Or making
excuses.
Two
Vital Numbers For Your Business
Now, your profits come from two basic numbers: the number of
people who come into your business (say, by visiting your website,
coming into your premises, or calling you), and the number of those
people you actually sell something to.
Let’s say you get 100 visitors to your business
every day and you make on average one sale. That’s a conversion rate of 1%, which seems awful but is actually perfectly acceptable considering the awful state of most businesses.
Now, imagine what will happen when the tips and strategies I
share with you on this website and in my email newsletter increase your traffic to 150 visitors a day, and your conversion rate to 1.5%.
Increase
Your Results by 1108% Or More!
These are small increases and are easily
achieved with modest effort if you pay attention to the tips I share with you! I promise: even though those increases look large, they’re easily achievable. I actually expect you to do much better.
Effective small business marketing will do this for you.
I’m not bragging here, one of my clients invested a 1-hour
phone consultation with me and then increased her results by 1108% just by implementing some of my small business marketing strategies.
So, where do these increases in the number of leads we get and
the number of them we convert to sale get us?
Well, instead of making one sale a day, a 1% conversion rate
on 100 visitors, we’re achieving a 1.5% conversion on 150
visitors. That’s an average of 2.25 sales a day - more than double your original sales!
Small
Hinges Swing Big Doors!
So, you can see, even moderate improvements can have a huge
impact on your sales. A percent, here, a percent there... this is how it goes, that you wake up one morning and your small
“so-so” business is now in the top 5% of profit-makers in your industry.
