Autoresponder Message
Give your visitors the option of viewing your web
site in an autoresponder message or by printing it
out. They might not have the time right then to look
it over. Nowadays people are low on time. They
are working longer hours and there are more single
parents. Don't let time get in the way of them not
buying your product.
Increase your opt-in e-mail list quickly by giving
away a product at no cost. Just require people to
subscribe to your e-zine in exchange. There are
thousands of e-zines offering freebies for sign ups.
Your freebie needs to be original, timely and
possess high perceived value.
Joint venture your web business with other offline
businesses. Look for businesses that have the same
target audience and create a win/win deal with them.
For example, you could joint venture with a
computer store. You could publish their ad on your
web site and they could have your web site loaded
up on all their computer displays.
Expand your target audience by adding a new
product line or packaging your main products with
other ones. You could also add-on extra services.
For example, if you are selling marketing e-books
to businesses, you could also start selling e-book
software to online publishers.
Persuade your visitors to like you. People buy
from people they like. You could tell them a joke,
give them a compliment, give them a freebie, etc.
For example, you could say, "I see you are one of
those rare entrepreneurs who have a killer instinct
for success."
Submit the free things you offer to online freebie
directories. They usually get a lot of traffic because
people like to get things for free. Of course include
your ad in the freebie. Sometimes freebie directories
allow you to mention your business with your free
listing too.
Use headlines and sub-headlines that are aimed
directly at your audience. If you're selling things to
lawyers use a headline like, "Attention All Lawyers!"
You could also use the products your target
audience normally buy to get their attention. For
example, "Warning! Don't buy another coffee cup
till you read this!"
You could end your ad copy by telling people
what will happen if they buy your product. Use
your most powerful benefit as the example. For
example, you could say, "Just think, you could be
writing order-pulling ads in 5 minutes!" Another
example, "Picture what your friends will say if you
could increase bowling score by 50 points!"
You could end your ad copy by telling people
what will happen if they don't buy your product.
Use a problem which they won't be able to solve
without it. For example, you could say, "Imagine
staying in debt, filing for bankruptcy and losing your
credit.” Another example, "See yourself 5 years
from now still without the love of your life. How
will you feel?"
