Winter Slowdown

Hi All,

Let's make one thing perfedtly clear an Marketing before we get in too deep!

There's only one sure thing that works in Marketing...."ACTION"

Creating a novel new way to be seen or heard is one thing...putting it into action is a whole 'nother ballgame. I know people in different industries that would astonish most of us with great ideas...the problem is that they never run with the ball. Therefore nothing changes.

Change is the result of action. Do yourself a service. Create a modest marketing plan...and I do mean modest...and get it up and running.

Flyers, Fridge Magnet giveaways, Fridge Calendars (I like this one), keychain, mini flashlight, all of course with your company name on it.

Here's something I'll be handing out at a local Supermarkets Sat. & Sun. mornings.

Like Nike says "Just do It".

I created this business card online. The cost for 1000 heavy stock 4 colour with glossy finish...about $25 Can...shipped to my door!...shipping included!

I know...where?...http://www.vistaprint.com

Hey if you're not good at designing something...I might help.

Remember......ACTION!

Just proves that if the best marketing plan never gets delivered, it becomes a costly mistake.  I have made many of them in my life.

I always remember when my kids were small I had them deliver flyer's for me even though I never had returns expected. I kept it up month after month like the marketing experts suggested. When I moved from my house years later. I went to take the last look and thought I should check out the door to the attic. Guess What!! Thousand of undelivered flyer's.

An absolutely true story. 

Ted, I can bet you that your kids now work for Canada Post.........at least they're consistant.

I was a paper boy.... I had oneside of the garage filled with papers..

my dad had to call a dumpster... I told him it was the extras... But he knew.. I got the strap...  I think I quite a few weeks later... doing 200 homes wasn't easy

Royal.........I owe you a pizza.........Just because Sears, The Bay and others send out flyers don't be confused with what works and what doesn't...........flyers will bring you a 1% to 1.5% response ratio, only because of the price factor that is printed on the flyers.......after the call from the customers certain info which is misleading comes to clairity and appointments are cancelled, they actually depend on telemarketing customers that they have cleaned during the past 5 years. I'm not saying flyers are useless, it's good to always be in the face of your customers.......but if you try it you will realize.........IT DOES NOT WORK, as far as making money to generate a living............when you have alot of capitol behind you you can hire a plane with your company banner flying 800 feet in the air, but IT WON"T WORK.
