What are the Problems you are facing in the area of your business sales and marketing. You can discuss them here and together we will proffer effective solutions to them. There are lots of ways with which you can market and sell your products and services, but we tend to interpret Marketing to be Selling.They are two different topics but related in some cases.
When i see young entrepreneurs not taking their business marketing serious and aggressive about it, it pains me seriously thats even when i try to imagine the amount of money invested in the said business and nothing or a meager amount is set aside to aggressively market the business which will latter turn to sales.

Many see marketing as an irrelevant expenses but fail to realize that for their business to succeed and also to be able to pay their bills they need to get the word about their business out to their customers. If you have rented a Shop in a Shopping Complex and you are always sleeping and waking up everyday in the Shop without making any significant sale, they u dont know the reason why u rent that Shop and venture into the business you do. [b][/b]MARKETING IS KEY AND WE HAVE THE KEY....Lets Discuss...Thank you...08051744119

Thank you Francis, since you said your business is an online business-(AFFILIATE PROGRAM E) I will advise you to do the following...


[b]1. Develop a marketing Plan first, this can be done on the A4 sized Paper. The plan will tell you the WHO, THE WHAT, THE WHERE, THE WHEN, THE HOW AND THE EFFECT. This means that you have to create a budget and work around who your target customers or audience are.

2. Do online adverts like, Google adsense, Adwords, facebook ads(not your wall only). You can also create an FB PAGE for your programme and be promoting it. Then visit forums and discuss your programme atleast 6times in a day or week.

3. If you have a good Budget i will advise you also print flyers and distribute them to where you find you target market, do this atleast twice in a week.

4. You can also promote it through Bulk sms

5. One of the effective way again is create a Fantastic and Attractive BRANDED T-SHIRT with the affiliate website of name and wear it to your Church, Mosque on sundays and fridays and to Public places where people gathered. You will be amazed at how people will visit your site with the Mobile Phone Instantly. Then you have to be Creative about the T-SHIRT.It should be attractive and beautiful, in fact appealing. more still to come. Thank You...08051744119[/b]

Hello Shiftmarket. This happens to most of my client and sometimes to me too, but the most important thing is for someone to think out of the Box and find effective ways with which those Products be known by their target audience and also get it into their hands. I think some of the Tips i shared with Samson might help, but i need to know what and what are the products you are talking about, as this will go along way to know the exact Marketing strategies to proffer. Thank you...some people called and ask for my mail this is it vmarketing02@gmail.com.

I will advise you look for a fast moving product sought after by students around you, because they are close to you and you dont need to incure so much cost trying to market your product to them. You can chose to sell consumables and things you really know students and people within your community really need and can not do without.

Thank you for this post #Benz33.
I have a restaurant tgat is about 5 months old. The reception when we just opened was great, sales on the increasing every week for the first 3 months. But after this initial 3 months the sales have being dwindling, expecially for the walk-in customers. The only thing sustaining us are the orders for meeting and events, and this mostly from friends and associates.
What do you think we are doing wrong?
we have had to reduce drastically the quantities of food we serve in the showglass in order to reduce wastages due to unsold meals at the close of business.
thank you.
I will appreciate contributions from other nairalanders in similar line of business please.
