Top 10 Guerilla Ways to Increase Your Revenues
Guerrilla marketing provides ways for business owners with small budgets realize their big dreams. See the ten tactics from guerrilla marketing to grow your income.
1. Look at ways to reach the most number of prospects using the least amount of effort or cost. For instance, get a display at an expo to reach thousands of prospects. Or write a single news release but give it to a distribution service to reach thousands of media outlets.
2. Do market research, not just product research. Uncovering the needs of your audience allows you to deliver helpful resources, positioning you as more than someone selling a product.
3. Discover the needs of your prospects by searching LinkedIn or Yahoo Answers to learn whay types of questions people are asking that relate to your product. Then, you can provide answers that lead back to your marketing message.
4. Create an autoresponder series to deliver daily tips. Speed up getting new leads and lower your costs by creating free email tips by subscription.
5. Blogging about your market and industry on a daily basis brands you as an expert. Get more branding power by becoming the most obvious expert.
6. Getting your customer to have an immediate result from a free sample will go a long way toward making the sale. When someone feels the immediate effects of using your product, they are ready to buy.
7. Engage your prospect on the level of the five senses. Studies show that we buy more when we engage our senses, like smelling, tasting, hearing, seeing and touching. The more senses you can activate, the stronger the impact of your message.
8. Send out a customer reactivation letter with a special incentive to previous buyers to come back and buy again. Attracting a new buyer costs you five times as much as it does to get a former buyer to buy again.
9. Use a system for every process in your lead-gathering process and then document each step along the way. This provides a ‘standard operating procedure’ you can use to train new sales reps or other company employees or new distributors if you are conducting network marketing training.
10. Instruct your readers what next step to take. Make sure your marketing communication doesn’t just drift off. Tell your audience the next step to tak. Tell your prospects what action they should take next to get the benefit of your product.
There are hundreds of guerilla marketing ways to grow your business; these are just a sampling from a network marketing book that is part of the best-selling Guerilla Marketing series.

Accelerants: Twelve Strategies to Sell Faster, Close Deals Faster, and Grow Your Business Faster $2.9 ?Many sales processes don?t work anymore??period. But companies don?t know exactly what’s not working, or why, or what needs fixing. What’s worse, many companies are in denial that their processes are broken and will not support what they need to do going forward.? Today it’s tougher than ever for sales, marketing, and business development organizations to keep improving their revenue and profits. Potential clients want to see salespeople less and less, real decision makers hide behind skilled gatekeepers, and even when you actually reach them, they have impossibly short attention spans. Sales and closing cycles get longer, margins get thinner, and customers keep raising the bar ? demanding more value, cheaper prices, and better service. Michael Boylan’s Accelerants offers a powerful solution to these impediments to growth. Giving business leaders the tools to diagnose what is hindering revenue growth, Boylan first identifies twelve constraints that apply consistent downward pressure on companies, making them less efficient, effective, and profitable. He then prescribes the Accelerant Principles?twelve field-proven tools Boylan has perfected over twenty years that can help any organization overcome, minimize, or dissolve the constraints to business growth.

Ad Women: How They Impact What We Need, Want, and Buy $6.63 Most of the workers in advertising, the media, retail, and fashion are women. Holding key marketing and advertising positions, women shape the basic promotional appeal of almost every consumer product in America.How did the advertising business go from a handful of women in a man’s world to women working in virtually every mass consumer goods industry in America in the space of the twentieth century? Ad Women tells the story of how women have risen to the top of the advertising profession. Juliann Sivulka, a former marketing communications manager and now an advertising educator, describes how, at the beginning of the twentieth century, the recognition of women as primary consumers resulted in the hiring of more women to promote products aimed at the women’s market. At that time manufacturers began to emphasize color, fashion, and style, while advertising embraced a new language of persuasion aimed at women consumers. Soon agencies were recruiting an ensemble of businesswomen-copywriters, product designers, merchandisers, fashion and beauty experts, home economists, editors, and publicists. Through close collaboration with manufacturers, mass media, and retailers, they participated in developing strategies to convince women to buy goods and wove their selling messages into women’s reading, shopping, housework, and leisure activities.Sivulka follows three key periods in the history of American advertising, which represent eras of major social change for women (1880-1920, the 1920s, and the 1970s). She discusses the effect on advertising of such controversial issues as the women’s movement, minorities, and consumer activism, and devotes an entire chapter to the contributionsto advertising of African American, Hispanic, and Asian American women in the twentieth century.Copiously illustrated with portraits of early ad women and examples of their work, this thoroughly researched and engagingly written survey of women in advertising will fascinate |
