ADVERTISE AND SAVE MONEY


Advertising is important to any business large or small.

Sometimes called the "Black Art" it can get very expensive and complicated.

These two elements usually cause sleepless nights for many small business owners.

But hold up! There are inexpensive routes to effectively advertise your business.

The following tips can help make you rich and famous:

1. One of the best advertising methods is word of mouth.

You should never underestimate the power of the customers that you already have.

Not only will keeping your current customers happy increase the chances of them coming back again, it also ups the chances of them recommending your business to those that they know.

2. Be very very careful where you advertise.

Zero in on your market, if you run a dog grooming business, advertise your business in local pet supply stores, vet offices, and such.

Of course get permission first and then you may want to think about doing a flyer or business card swap.

3. you may also want to think about giving away free coupons in addition to traditional business cards or flyers
Free offers always arouse interest in prospects and coupons are a great way to give away a product or service.

Just be careful where you distribute your coupons and make sure they go to your targeted market.

4. Hold a contest or a drawing for your customers.

A contest with a nice enough prize requiring a purchase to enter could likely cause customers to buy something just to enter the contest.

Hosting a contest is a great way to generate sales and business.

So don't forgo advertising your small business because it too expensive.

These tips can help you advertise effectively without spending a lot of money.

DUBLI - THE NEW KID ON THE ONLINE BLOCK


Are you an online shopper? If not what is the problem?

I became a believer when I had to replace a missing wheelcover and found one online cheaper, easier to buy, with great service and quality and it was overnighted to my door.

There are many ways to buy things online including traditional retail stores and non-traditional routes such as Ebay, Amazon, et al.

For your information there is a newcomer to online marketing on the horizon coming from the East and it is called DUBLI.

DUBLI is a unique blend of auctions, stores and investor opportunities.

The auctions are a little odd in that you bid down the prices rather than up and there is a mechanism that provides you with benefits when others bid.

You can dig into the details by clicking HERE.

It is set up with both an auction side and a shopping side so you can use whatever shopping method you prefer.

The concept was successfully launched in Europe several years ago and now the backers are going worldwide with forays into the North American and Asian markets.

They are confident that this will be the new Ebay or Amazon.com so just remember you heard it here first.

WORK AT HOME MONEY MAKER

A good way to make some extra money at home is with online auctions.

It sounds good but what do you do after you clean everything out of your garage and you have nothing left to sell?

This is where you have to get a little creative and find something that works for you.

I suggest starting with garage and yard sales in your area.

There are still a lot of people not comfortable with selling online or they don't want to take the time to do it.

This situation presents you with a nice little ongoing source of products you can buy and resale.

Make a regular routine of bird dogging garage and yard sales and you will begin to find many interesting and valuable treasures that can be bought very cheaply

If you are serious about the online auction business try going to the sales as they are ending and make an offer for all that's left for a flat fee.

Garage and yard sales offer great buying deals and you don't have to travel very far to get them and after you master this type sale you can move up to estate sales.

ENTREPRENEURIAL INSPIRATION

Do you wonder what an entrepreneur does in his or her daily regular life?

Some people hold to the notion that entrepreneurs are these innovative great thinkers that just sit around all day figuring out new ideas that will be the next Microsoft.

There may be some truth to that idea especially if you are a budding entrepreneur just beginning on your quest for a seat in the entrepreneur's hall of fame.

Entrepreneurs are primarily business people because they have to make sure the company runs and makes money but they also have to be visionaries and deal makers.

An entrepreneur must be able to recognize opportunity in the existing circumstances and then be able to take the requisite action to profit from that opportunity.

Many times the entrepreneur will spread his attention to more than one business venture at the time.

Since they are motivated by the profit motive they will continue to seek opportunity where ever they can find it in the business world.

Sometimes these opportunities are found by entrepreneurs in archives.

This is because some business ideas may not be feasible at present and so they keep it for future use or reference.

Those business ideas which have higher market feasibility are investigated further and if in case the entrepreneur decides to act on the idea immediately, he will put such ideas to work and earn money.

As markets evolve so do the opportunities and savvy entrepreneurs keep their ear to the ground and when they sense the right time they can pull out an idea from their opportunity archive and put it to work.

EBAY IS WONDERFUL - BUT

eBay - everybody's favorite place to shop on the web.

If you are an "eBayer" you have lots of company. The acceptance of eBay has taken off like gangbusters in recent years.

Since eBay is an online auction website, one that allows internet users to post their stuff for sale, it creates a giant web garage sale with millions of items for sale, at any given time.

Like everything else in life you have to take the good with the bad.

eBay is a wonderful place to poke around and but things to your heart's desire but you have to watch out for the bad guys.

There are a number of ways that you can protect you and your hard earned money when using eBay to do your online shopping.

One of the most important things that you need to remember when using eBay is that you should always makeup a fake or screen name for yourself.

That screen name is used so that you do not have to provide other eBay users with your real name.

You do need to give the eBay seller your real name and address when you make a purchase, but that is the only time that you should give that information to anyone on eBay.

You should never give an eBay seller information about yourself, unless you have won an item from them on the eBay website.
