Recession Lifeline For Entrepreneurs With New Free Viral Marketing Site


It's rough out there, there's no ignoring it. Your business needs as many taregeted prospects as you can handle. What if I told you, 5 minutes from now, you could blast your time limited special deal to a ferile starving crowd of buying customers and it's free!

Sounds like the stuff of fiction - or at least what internet marketing gurus would have you think but for the time being, try to suspend your disbelief and read on...

Every body likes last minute coupon especially in the harsh reality of today's business envrionment. If you're a business owner, you know how tough it is out there and every advantage you can stack in your favour will help you survive and thrive.

What if you could find a marketplace where bargains and special offers was part and parcel of the business matching highly motivated buyers with businesses without the need for any kind of annoying advertising.

There's a new site which just does that called Tweelim.com which permits you to generate last minute coupon in minutes allowing prospects across the globe to receive your offer minutes after that.

You may have read Rich Schefren's Attention Age doctrine already. In it he shows examples of how we are becoming ever more inundated with information be it from the office or from marketers. Buyers are getting more and more frustrated by too much information - they can't see the light at the end of the tunnel and long running advertising methods are performing worse than ever.

Why not have buyers come to you instead, it's far easier!

If you give a prospect a reason to walk away from a sale because they know the offer will still be there when they want to come back - guess what, you'll never see them again. On the other hand, if the prospect knows this special offer is of limited time duration, you're making sure they understand they have a limited window of time to buy.

This is a simple but highly effective scarcity ploy we've all seen before. Perhaps you've heard of Jeff Walker's Product Launch Formula or Frank Kern's Mass Control? How many channels do you use to advertise your products and services? Article marketing, PPC, SEO, Ezines, Direct Mail, the list goes on...

The question is how many channels is enough?

Never enough of course!

This new site offers you 1400 sales channels to start encompassing almost every category you can think of. Perhaps when you read this there may well be more.

The nice thing about Tweelim, there is no restriction on the number of channels you can use in your advertising efforts, you can reuse the same advert in multiple adverts provided the advert makes sense in the category When this article goes to press, advertising is free - yes you read that right, nothing.

For example, perhaps you would like to send or receive internet marketing special offers or maybe even book a table and get a restaurant special offer. The number of categories available is considerable and you'd do well to find one which is not currently covered.

With built in viral marketing using social media sites like Twitter.

If you're a niche marketer, this is a dream Here's just some of the categories you can advertise in:

  • Flights
  • Taxi Service
  • Plumbers
  • PPC
  • SEO

Something tells me you will hear a lot more from Tweelim very soon..

Performance Management, And Strategies

The Career Troika (business, marketing, and productivity) involves many strategies, as outlined here:

Corporate Strategy
Business Strategy (Balanced Scorecard)
Marketing Strategy
Sales Strategy
Customer Strategy
Product Development Strategy
Organizational Strategy (resource management, process management, knolwedge management)
Personal Strategy (efficiency, planning skills, interpersonal skills, etc.)
Corporate Strategy
If you are working within a corporate environment, or want to know what the guys in the suits do.

If you manage a Strategic Business Unit within a large corporate, then everything we cover in the marketing matrix website must be aligned with the wider corporate strategy.

And this page will make sure you understand exactly what that is…

Or, if you are a SME (small / medium enterprise) business owner, then being in touch with the considerations that large corporates make about strategy can help you evolve your marketing plan and business growth. see more at small business management,

So let's review these top-level ideas of corporate strategy now.

Leading businesses concentrate on three areas:

Customers - who shall we target and how shall we build relationsips to maximise life time value with best possible profit margins in a market category with rabid buyers
Competitors - what are we up against, and how can we rise above?
Company - organizational strengths and weaknesses
Do you want short-term profits or long-term growth? business growth,

Operationally strong businesses focus on efficiency - doing what they have always done, and trying to do it better
Strategically strong businesses focus on effectiveness. What should they be doing well to survive and prosper for long-term growth
In Eli Goldratt's book The Goal, he identifies quite simply that MONEY is the goal of business, from which all other pursuits are measured by.

Money in business comes from profitability, or 'return'.

Return reflects the relationship between profit generated from the money invested in the business, which leads to three linked financial criteria that provide the framework for results management:

Return (profit/assets) = Margin (profit/sales) x Utilisation (sales/assets)

Return is created through 2 sub-goals.

Growth
Market share
Whatever form your companies Balanced Scorecard takes, it should be used to define the elements that contribute to Growth, Market Share, and Return.

Performance improvements can be grouped into 3 areas:

Customer experience management (beyond CRM)
Organizational development
Financial control
And there are several layers of strategic analysis (like peeling an onion)

Environmental analysis - SWOT
Industry analysis - 5 Forces
Corporate analysis - SERF
SBU
What we are looking for are the underlying constraints of optimal performance management.see more at project management,

Ms. Scheinkopf identified three types of constraints: physical, policy, and paradigm constraints. Physical constraints include materials, capacity (which includes time, space, or capability), and the market. Policy constraints might be rules, training, and measurements. These, in turn, are driven by paradigm constraints — mental models and assumptions that help formulate the policies.

“Look at the company as if it were a chain,” Ms. Scheinkopf suggested. “Identify the weakest link. What is the link that will inhibit us from making the most money?"

Elevating the constraint should be a strategic decision at the highest levels.

Business strategy can divide into 2 core areas:

Corporate strategy - Regarding the organization as a whole, and defines the industries/markets in which the corporate will oeprate and sets the direction in terms fo development of the overall portfolio. Provides the basis for the allocation of resources. Uses analytics techniques such as environmental mapping, industry mapping, and SWOT analysis. project management,
Business Unit Strategy - Concerned with the component parts of the organization (SBUs) and defines how the business will compete in the market and how it will be positionined in relation to competitors.
In corporate strategy, objectives should be developed before considering how limited your budget is right now. First outline the big vision. Only then create milestones based on budgeting. Do not limit your vision just because you have a limited budget for the short-term.

Too often market strategies are evaluated and set at too high a level (corporate) which leads to a poor fit. From considerations of corporate strategy, we can now focus on the elements of Strategic Business Units and marketing strategy.
It helps the Marketer and Copywriter understand the broader picture for each marketing campaign.

Business Strategy
In what Markets will your business unit operate? What risk-levels, and cost of capital is it constrained by? What returns must it look to achieve?

Marketing Strategy
By what Positioning in the market place can you achieve the business objectives? The Marketing Strategy involves balancing capabilities with target customer insight, and competitive analysis. See the Marketing Strategy page.

Sales Strategy
How will direct sales teams complement the marketing engine?

Customer Strategy
What processes will maximise and optimise the customer experience for the full customer life cycle?

Product Development Strategy
What NPD (new product development) must occur, what is happening in the marketplace, and what is the current product road-map?

Organizational Strategy
What internal culture and set of operational processes and procedures will best serve the marketing plan, business objectives, and corporate strategy?marketing idea for small business,

Personal Strategy
Review your current situation, skills, abilities, knowledge, aspirations, motivations, hurdles, experiences, and connections. See the Personal Strategy page. see more at career development,

Attraction Marketing Secret - What You Ought To Know About Ann Sieg’s Attraction Marketing Formula

Attraction marketing secrets can be explained in very simple terms and once you understand the process of winning a prospect's trust rather than alienating them, then there is no limit to how many people you can sponsor into your network marketing business over the next few months.

The attraction marketing formula is simple - teach and educate rather than sell your prospects. If that is a new concept to you then don't worry, it's been the foundation for success since man first walked the planet yet it is so simple in nature, that it is the most overlooked attraction marketing secret by the majority of MLMers.

Secrets Of Attraction Marketing

Network marketing has undergone many transformations over the years but the core element of prospecting has still been to make a list, talk to family and friends, invite them to a meeting and pitch them your opportunity.

This may have worked okay even up to ten years ago but now we live in a world dominated by the electronic media and the one thing most hear constantly are a barrage of sales messages. Can you imagine trying to compete with these if you're trying to pitch your opportunity using the same method?

What if you slipped under a prospect's radar by teaching them in the message rather than pitching them? You see, suddenly you have differentiated yourself from the herd and by using teaching and educational messages, you'll begin to take on the appearance of a trusted advisor.

And isn't breaking down the barriers of trust with the prospect the key element in getting them to advance down the lead generation assembly line?

The key attraction marketing secret is you need to earn the right to be able to do this. By sales pitching them first up you will come across as desperate and needy. By teaching and educating them first up you take on a entirely welcoming persona.
