In this age of email, there’s nothing quite as special as a personal, handwritten note.
Handwritten notes are really a lost art. But they make the biggest impact! They tell the recipient that you cared enough to stop your busy day, sit down and actually pick up a pen (who does that these days?) and put your gratitude in writing.
Better yet, have your own cards made. It’s simple, it’s inexpensive, and it leaves a lasting impression. Don’t be surprised if it’s kept for years.
YouTube is an amazing marketing tool that’s also FREE! People love to talk to people…and this is as close to a conversation as you can possibly get without actually being with the person. You can structure your video however you want to. You can just talk to the camera, script something funny or informative, or even hire a professional to put together a mini movie or commercial with graphics and music. Attach it to your website and e-mail it to your current customers.
In the recent pastone thing that stood outin severalschools acrossAmerica are School Assembly Programs Indianapolis. These were programs that were bought to the school by the administrators on subjects that the students need increased exposure ofsomething like that they wanted them to learn that we knew.
School assembly programs have been aroundfor hundreds of yearseducating students in a more nontraditional way, leaving the teachers to experience amoment and learn as well. From music performers to actors during history times, these programs have been known to not just educated but to uplift the students who attend. Not only has music been a great inspiration when it comes to school assembly programs Indianapolis but things that touch on bullying, character education, saying noto drugs and alcoholand so many more.
In the late 90’s school assemblies programs started to seem impossible for schools. Not because it wasn’t needed but the demand on the teachers, principals and staff in the school had come to an all time high so it lead no time for the teachers to remove the children from the classroom and get educated in another form. Although theAssembly School programs Indianapolis were much needed time wasn’t allowing a lot of schools to schedule high quality motivational speakers, singers, plays and even musicals. Life in schools begun toonly be tunnel vision. But schools still needed that learning void to be fulfilled.
This is whensmall groups in the school such as your PAC (Parent Advisory Council) PTA (Parent and Teacher Association) PTO (parent teacher’s organization) began to take control. These were parents who wanted their kidsalong with thewhole school to get other experiences that didn’t involve the everyday school activities.
PTA Parents would contact different performers and motivational speakers by getting their information via USPS or internet and controlthe matter. From being boldand managingsomething so important, schools were now able to bring Life Changing Assembly Program back to the school. They even were able to turn most of the Assembly programs into family nights and including math, science, anti bullying and any other important subject that would allow the kids to grow and learn. So outcome of different School Assembly Programs had major resultson children. They would leave knowing more and confident inwhat they learned the value of School Assembly Programs Indianapolis will bea MUST in a school. It is just up to the school and parent volunteers to make these available for the schools to have.
One great way to position yourself as an expert in the public eye is to write articles about topics in your field. You don’t even have to worry about sending them around to magazines or websites – there are plenty of article sites that will help you through the process of posting your writing and positioning yourself as an authority.
How does it work? Well, let’s say you’re a lawyer and you’re hoping to grow your law firm by attracting some new clients. If you have how-to articles explaining the areas of law you practice (with your contact info on the bottom) sprinkled all over the Internet and other lawyers at other firms don’t, who do you think stands out as the expert?
Articles also work well for recent college graduates. Technology is always changing, so a lot of college students are learning the latest ways of doing things, as opposed to how it was done 10 or 15 years ago when most of the people hiring were educated. So, by writing articles on some of the cutting-edge stuff you just learned, you show companies that you can add value to their organization. By doing this, you position yourself as an asset…and that’s huge!

Maybe you’re not quite ready for the cover of Forbes or Fortune. But you can still have your 15 minutes on the cover of a magazine by having a tear sheet done.
In case you don’t know what a tear sheet is – and chances are, you don’t! – I should probably explain. A tear sheet is a piece of marketing material that looks and reads like a real magazine article, and it’s written all about you and your business! The style is exactly the same as a magazine article, and it’s laid out like a real magazine piece, including an official-looking magazine cover with your photo and headlines about you, your business, and related fields. It talks about the highlights in your life, and your personal interests, so your customer can relate to you and like you. Did I mention that people buy from people they like?
It’s not written in a bragging way. Instead, it’s written just like a reporter did an article on you, but it says exactly what you want to get across to your readers with no interpretation from the reporter. And it’s laid out with lots of photos, pull-out lines and quotes, and even a chart, so it’s fun and interesting to read.
The result? You’re now positioned as an expert.
So if you’re an Avon lady, what makes you different from any other Avon salesperson? If you hand a prospect a tear sheet, suddenly they have a glossy, well-written magazine piece that will explain exactly who you are and why you do what you do. You can also have newspaper tear sheets, which look just like you were featured in a local or national newspaper.
It’s easy to have them done.

Follow-up alone will only get you so far if you don’t know the secret to successful follow-up. Which is… reminding the client or prospect of what you’re following up on in the first place! In other words, refer to the resume that you sent if you’re trying to get a job interview. If you’re trying to get a job and you sent some type of proposal, your follow-up should remind them, “I sent in a proposal on (this date). Just touching base with you to see if you got a chance to look over information because I understand how busy you are.”
Whatever you decide to do when it comes to marketing, just make sure you follow-up!!!

Even when you aren’t physically operating your business, the systems you put in place can still be marketing that business. Take, for example, your voicemail or answering machine. After 20 years, is the best thing you can say still, “I’m not here, can’t answer the phone.”
Use your voicemail message as a marketing tool. You might say, “We can’t come to the phone. We’re busy helping another customer with…” and name a product or service you’re featuring that month. Or, “After you leave a message with your phone number, check us out on Facebook or check out our website at www dot whatever dot com.” Or something funny like, “My dad can’t come to the phone at the moment. He’s out working really hard to send me to college, so please leave your message, or better yet, just send a really big check.”
When you keep it light and fun, it sticks with people - and sometimes they tell their friends to call just to listen to it. Now that’s marketing!
Every aspect of your business is marketing for your business, whether you want it to be or not. Which means that you need to stay on top of everything… even the little things.
For example, if you have a Dumpster area and it’s messy, that is actually poor marketing.
I know. Your Dumpster area is probably not your primary area of concern when it comes to managing your business. However, if that area turns into a trash pit, you’ve really got a problem – and it’s a marketing problem!
Suddenly, people will start spotting that Dumpster area and think, “He’s messy. He’s sloppy. He has no follow-through.”
And what’s even more frustrating is that if you keep your Dumpster area neat and spotless, chances are no one will ever notice it!
However, there is still a marketing upside here. If people see that your business is neat and well-organized through and through – from the parking lot to the restroom and everything in between - it feels good to them. And that’s good marketing.
That’s the kind of stuff that brings people back. And it’s the kind of stuff that makes them tell their friends about you.
When I say everything, I mean everything. Track daily sales, who did the sale, who got the customer in, what advertising media got the customer in, why the customer came in the first place, what kind of work you’re doing, who’s producing the most and why, who’s producing the least and why, where the customer lives, where the customer works, how many miles they traveled to get to you, and what their favorite color is.
Okay, maybe not the last one, but you get the idea…
The reason is that numbers are powerful. If you track them and learn how to read them, they can help you boost your business and make your income more predictable. You don’t want a business where all you’re getting are the bottom feeders. If you just have a bunch of customers coming in to get your special of the day, or the week or whatever, and that’s the only time you see them, you need to change what you’re doing. By tracking, you can spot exactly where your strengths are and build on them – and take action with those things that might not be working so well.
As the famous question goes, if a tree falls in a forest and nobody hears it, does it make a sound? Whatever you think the actual answer is, the marketing response is a definite “NO!”
That means whenever you do anything unusual or different with your business, such as an attention-getting promotion, physically expanding or moving, marking a milestone or partnering with a high-profile associate, you need to make sure somebody “hears the sound.” And the best way to do that is a press release.
You may at first think that’s a ridiculous notion – who cares what you’re up to? But local media especially is always hungry for new stories. They are always under a deadline, so when you hand them a done-for-you story, it solves a problem for them. Keep it informative and educational rather than sounding like an ad if you want a chance of getting it published for free. Depending on what your press release is about, you might even get contacted for a radio or TV interview or get your own story in the newspaper.
Make sure your press release is professional (no typos!) and follows the accepted format (you can find tons of examples online). After it’s done, you can submit it online to all sorts of outlets. There are even PR sites that, for a small fee, will distribute it for you! The best one is www.prweb.com.
