FIVE SUCCESSFUL MARKETING TECHNIQUES

1. Keep Adding Something New

It attracts new customers who were not interested in your current products and services.
It generates repeat sales from existing customers who also want to have your new product.
It enables you to get bigger sales by combining 2 or more items into special package offers.

2. Become a Valuable Resource Look for ways you can be a resource for your prospects and customers. Supply them with free information. Help them do things faster, easier, less expensively. You get another opportunity to sell something every time they come back to you for help.

3. Separate Yourself from Your Competition
Determine the unique advantage you offer to customers that your competitors do not offer. Promote that advantage in all of your advertising. Give your prospects a reason to do business with you instead of with your competition and you'll automatically get more sales.

4. Promote the End Result
Your customers don't really want your product or service. They want the benefit produced by using it.Make sure your web pages, sales letters and other sales messages are promoting the end result your customers want.
