Five Marketing Tips to Double Profits


It's a startling fact: almost all entrepreneurs aren't marketing their businesses effectively. Marketing goes much deeper than advertising. It begins with having the proper mindset. These five ideas will send you on the right path to building a solid marketing foundation for your business.

1. Start with yourself
Ask yourself this: are you passionate about the product you're selling? If you're not, you have a long way to go before you can bring in the masses. But if you are, congratulations! You're ahead of 90% of small business owners out there. When you're passionate about your product, you can ignite that same passion into your customers. Who wants to buy a product from a boring company? Probably not a lot of people. To interests your potential customers, you'll have to interest yourself first.

2. Surround yourself with the right people
One person can have many great ideas. Yet, working with a dozen other people can give you a thousand more marketing ideas. When you surround yourself with tremendous people who understand how to bring in customers, your marketing efforts will increase exponentially. You will draw out ideas out of one another. You will also build upon ideas.

3. Give Value
Give and you receive. It's a saying that our mothers always taught us. It's as saying that most of us forget. It's something that we ignore because we don't know the psychological effect of giving first. When we give genuinely, and I emphasize genuinely, we create a welcoming environment for the customer.

4. Build Relationships
A lot of business owners only think about the first transaction. Great entrepreneurs think about the fourth transaction. Your marketing efforts should be based on building as many relationships as you can. I can guarantee you this: the more relationships you build, the more profits your company will receive. All you need is one customer to start. Build a fantastic relationship with the customer, and watch your business grow.

5. Get help
It's the most important idea in this article. Many of us try to reinvent the wheel, when the wheel is already there for us. Learn from past experiences and past mistakes from people who have already been there, and done that. It's better to learn through them, than to go through the same heartaches. It will make your learning curve quicker. Most important, it will boost your company's marketing efforts.
