Play Your Bogey
Whether it’s creating a book or other marketing strategies, don’t be afraid to lose money to get more in the long run! Because you don’t know which of your investments will end up winning, see where you can spend without losing too much money.
Email is a Killer App!
You have to remember that email doesn’t work the same way as direct mail does. But emails are still an effective medium. Treat your list like family. Create free content, sell educational material (occasionally), or do a weekly blog! That’s fishing without bait.
The Relationship Between Online and Offline Marketing
If you drive on all the roads, you’ll be seen everywhere! If you have an excellent presence on Facebook or Instagram, you might want to expand into other areas like direct mail. Find the VIP’s from the people who buy from you and offer them a new product!
