The "Fun" Method to Learn Direct Response Marketing
Funny stuff... funny stuff...
Yesterday, we lost at our local brew-pub getting our burger and beer fix. When out of the blue my wife began to laugh. I figured she was poking fun at me.
Did I've something wedged during my teeth?
Would be a fry stuck to my cheek?
Turns out neither.
So when Gurus my wife why she was chuckling, she told me she felt embarrassed telling me.
Embarrassed?
I said:
"Honey, we are able to talk about anything. You are able to feel comfortable telling me what's on your mind. And I promise to not judge you..."
So she caved, and told me she was excited The american idol show was starting a new season.
American Idol?
I had no clue this TV show was ramping back up.
So...
We finished our burgers and beer. We paid our waiter. And my spouse drug me the place to find catch the first episode. Good thing too... because this show is bursting just like a water balloon with a lot of direct response marketing tips.
Like:
The power of celebrity marketing:
Just look at the judges on The american idol show. Let's see. You got Steven Tyler that has been the front man for one of the most successful hard rock bands ever. Then, you got Jennifer Lopez who needs no explanation. And lastly, you have Randy Jackson who has worked within the music biz since the dawn of the dinosaurs.
My point?
That Idol certainly uses plenty of celebrities to promote the show.
The power of contest marketing:
Contests are among the fastest (and most fun) methods to grow a small company. Just look at Idol. Sure, the ultimate goal would be to win and become a famous recording artist. But what really gets contestants going may be the whole idea that they're competing against everybody else.
And nobody likes to lose.
So how do you need a tournament to market your small business?
And the power of referral marketing:
Honestly, one of the things I did to build my small company so it dominated a very competitive niche is... I used multiple strategies that drove referrals through my doors all month long
American Idol does this too.
Just look at the number of people waiting in line brought someone together... who would like to check out too. In some cases, they even brought members of the family.
Talk about the power of referral marketing.
There's a lot more marketing tips cleverly stuffed into each American Idol episode, you just have to understand what to look for.
And something last thing:
If you're seriously interested in growing your business, then more than likely you just need some more good ideas like the one out of this article.
So think about this:
Where are you able to turn for more good ideas like what you just read in this article?
In my humble opinion, you have to be careful where you search for good ideas because almost everyone and their brother states be a so-called 'business expert'.
Remember:
Saying is one thing.
Doing is another.
And most of these "talking heads" haven't run their own successful small business.
