15 Successful Marketing Tips
-Practice a few of these must-know marketing tips every day and build up your guerilla-marketing muscles.-
Part of the guerilla marketing mindset suggests that you should be thinking about marketing all of the time. Not just quarterly, not just monthly, not just weekly, but every single day. Really, it is not as hard as it sounds. There are quite a few ways you can incorporate marketing into your daily activities.
It is often said that doing anything for 21 days in a row will eventually turn into a habit. And a marketing habit is a great thing for any business to have. So what we suggest to you is that you choose three to five things every day that are related to marketing for your business and do them at the beginning of the day before you start fighting the daily fires; and forget all about your planned tasks.
If you work on this developing a marketing habit, and the proper marketing mindset, every day, you will soon find that you are going above and beyond your "three to five things" limit. You will find yourself talking and thinking in terms of headlines or talking, listening and thinking in therms of your customers and prospects' benefits. And the more you think marketing, the greater the chance you will accomplish your marketing and overall business goals.
When talking to many business owners, professionals and organizations, we find that in the beginning, they are sometimes challenged when it comes to finding three to five marketing tasks to do every single day. Just remember, these activities do not have to be elaborate, they do not have to be long and drawn out, and they do not have to take up much time.
To get your habit started and to help with your marketing mindset, here are a few of the different types of activities you can employ each and every day before your non-marketing, daily work activities begin:
- Hand write a thank-you note to a prospect or customer
- Enter customer or prospect names into a database
- Brainstorm tagline ideas
- Visit a competitor's website
- Write an article to pitch to your local business organization
- Make a list of press release ideas
- Write a press release
- Call a newspaper and ask who the feature editor is for your area of expertise
- Compose an e-mail sales letter
- Call a few prospects or customers to get their e-mail contact information
- Develop a series of survey questions
- Brainstorm advertising concepts
- Write a pitch letter to a radio or TV station
