Are you looking to get past the big “IF only” that stops most small business owners? This fast-paced, 1-day seminar will teach you how to crush those “if only” obstacles like empty beer cans. You know what we’re talking about:
• “If only I had the budget…”
• “If only I lived in a larger/richer town…”
• “If only the big box store wasn’t taking my customers…”
• “If only I could bring in new customers without blowing my budget…”
Clay Campbell and Mike Dandridge have both owned small businesses in small towns facing big competitors. And both grew their businesses into enviably profitable golden egg laying geese – all without anything but a shoestring marketing budget.
We’re talking simple, actionable, you-can-start-doing-them-tomorrow attention and customer-getting strategies. Stuff that these guys battle tested on their own businesses first.
All of these things worked like magic for them. It’s worked for every single one of their clients. It WILL work for you – with the only IF being if you come listen to what they teach you.
Clay will give you idea after idea for creating top-of-mind awareness and marketing your business during those times when you have more ambition than money. Mike will introduce you to a method for using your physical store as a marketing tool in itself, resulting in increased traffic, increased revenues, and dramatically improved word of mouth.
By the end of this one day course you will learn:
• Proven methods to create an “irrational” desire and preference to do business with you, at your store, instead of with the competition.
• How to see through the eyes of your customer – and get accurate insight into how your business really looks to an outsider.
• 100 key customer persuasion-points that most marketer’s overlook and that can dramatically increase repeat visits, referrals, and average order size.
• Specific tactics to overcome “predator-competitors” such as Wal-Mart and Home Depot.
• 3 ways to strategically create positive word-of-mouth for your business.
So are you going to keep whining the “if only” song, or are you going to learn how to stretch your marketing dollars until George Washington screams for mercy?
