Marketing Methods 

So Many Ways to Market, So Little Time!

• Relationship Marketing

  
  Relationship marketing recognizes the long term value in keeping customers, as opposed to direct or "Intrusion" marketing, which focuses primarily on team building as opposed to building a long term successful relationship with new partners in your business. Which would you rather have? Potential customers and partners seeking you and your business opportunity out or the old "hunt them down" method of team building? I know what I prefer, no it's stronger than that. It's not a preference, it's a way of life. Nothing should be forced upon someone; we should always care about the needs of those who need our help before we care about ourselves. Attraction Marketing allows me to do this.

• Attraction Marketing

  Attraction Marketing is a means of drawing customers and partners toward your venture, project, opportunity, or product. It combines Social Networking, Advertising, Blogging, and collaboration to welcome new business partners in a non-threatening way. Through the Renegade University you'll be able to do this too. It's a step by step method of training that works for even "newest" entrepreneur.

• Online Marketing

  Online Marketing is simply using the tools which are abundantly available to us to market your product or opportunity online. Obviously, we do this in such a way that our target audience is at ease looking for us rather than us being in pursuit of them. What are some of the methods we use to introduce ourselves to our potential customers and partners? One of the ways is through marketing on Squiddo. Right now an interested party is reading what it is like to market online. They are getting to know me and my goals for success. Hopefully they are willing to look at the information I'm offering so that, they too, can build a successful business online. Think you can't create a Squiddo page? Let me help you!

• Offline/Local Marketing

  Offline Marketing is using the networking opportunities in our community to bring customers and business partners to us. There are so many opportunities to reach the public outside of the internet. This may be your venue. This may be the way you want to reach your partners and clients. You may love to have meetings, parties, fundraisers, and face to face exchanges. That's terrific! It works and it's just another venue to make friends and grow your business. Let me know if I can help you! Connect with me at Sharing Marketing Success and sign up for my email series.

• Branding

  

  What does it mean to brand yourself? This might take the new entrepreneur a little time to define, but don't skip the importance of creating the right "go to" image. Take a look at your opportunity, marketing style, product, and who you are and how you want to be defined when people see you and your opportunity. Then begin marketing yourself...YOURSELF in such a way that when people hear the name Colleen Gainey, they will think...or she's the gal that helped me build my business, and doesn't she market Gourmet Candles too! You can see why Branding is so important, it ties you and your opportunity together with who you are and how you want to be perceived to your market. I want to be seen as a coach, entrepreneur, network marketer, and business woman. How do you want people to see you?

• Product Marketing

  Product marketing is just as important as marketing your opportunity or business. It's important to note that the way we market these two partitions of our business is virtually the same. We market us first, branding ourselves so that our constituents will move toward us because they trust what we have to offer and we give them what they need in support, respect, and tools to build their business. Our customers will want to take a look at what we have because they now believe that we will give them what they need and that we stand behind our product and business.

• Opportunity Marketing

  There will be times when you will want to market your business opportunity first and foremost, then add your product or service. Often times, our best asset is our compensation plan and that's what you want to bring to the forefront of your marketing plan. Remember, in everything we do; we want to offer something of value to our client or customer. Insight and education on how to make something happen...how to create a Squiddo page or Hubpage. We all have something to offer. Again, I can't stress enough the training available at Renegade University.

• Marketing Training

  Good training is the foundation for business growth and explosive income. Without proper training the task of creating the kind of business success that will truly lead you to financial freedom is virtually impossible. The training I've used and am using is through the Renegade University.

  It all starts with the The Renegade Network Marketer written by Ann Sieg who has championed the cause of renegade marketing to the "cheers and jeers" of many! With these two to help me begin my marketing training, I have jumped into a whole new world of opportunities and success! I know now that I can make my business prosper and help others do the same.
