leverage12: The best way I feel is the best way of marketing is creating a LIST and using the LEVERAGE OF GENEROUSITY. A way of having even more Customer than you can handle!

naijacutee: This is NOT an invite for unsolicited ads, and anyone who does that would be banned. But do unsolicited SMS messages work? Has any business being transformed by customer interest, but just sending out random SMS messages to unknown people? I ask because a lot of businesses seem to be buying/pushing the service, but all I hear from the consumer side is complaints regarding unsolicited messages. Is it that businesses are not listening to their customers, or are we used to pressing on without adjusting marketing strategy to available results?

mayorall: I reduce my price once I get a competitor or add gifts. I promise anyone who bring customers % that won't give me problem. The money will actually come from the buyer.

naijacutee:

I believe this is a strategy that works in a lot of sectors. Does it work for you?

100% potent ma. Will tell the buyer the price is FOB price (kinda deceptive) that it doesn't include the accessories, when he's asking for the price, I won't answer, I will use the time to describe my products instead. So that makes the buyer fall in love with my product. Then I will pay the person who brought the buyer the accessories fee. Lobatan

leverage12: LIST BUILDING is the act of getting your Customers and interested prospects Name, Address, Phone numbers etc. Look for a way to be Generous and you will make Money with your LIST, offer FREE THINGS in form of BONUS, make your Customers understand that you are collecting their details so you get reach them when you have PROMOTIONAL OFFERS. Make use of special days like Birthday, Esther, xmas etc to reach the People on your LIST. Make them understand that since its a day of celebration you are giving them maybe one tenth of whatever they buy, but make sure you calculate your profit before giving anything out. Make them understand tactfuly that if they can introduce their Friends to buy a particular amount of Product either gradually or at once they have a gift. People like FREE THINGS, by the time they find out you are doing these things they will make sure they alway buy from you and introduce their Friends and Relatives. With time you will have more Customers than you handle and you will have no other option than to expand.

jdilight:

what is FOB price? please explain in details what you just stated above.

mayorall:


Free on board. I only use it to deceive buyers. Which means the price is only for the product, no shipping charge, accessories, etc.

jdilight:

How do you make profit?

mayorall:


It doesn't affect my profit since its not my money.

jdilight:

This sound more like outsourcing, l still don't get it. The goods is yours which the buyer pays for under free shipping (fob) and you still tip the referer of this customer all this from the profit of a goods whose price is well known in the market?

mayorall:


Lols. I dont sell common goods.

jdilight:

Your marketing strategy is priceless dear. l love it for real. Thanks for sharing this here.

jdilight:

Bros you beat me to it. Its beginning to get exciting with everyday application of various marketing strategies many of us are applying in their businesses. please do not keep mute, share yours.

Incrizz: Mayorall, I am reading and getting enlightened. But I haven't totally understood your point and I want to. Your explanation is not really clear enough so that one can apply it effectively. You get..?
For example, how would I sell a bag using your method? Or, it's only gonna work for product with accessories only?

Remember its two methods. Different goods has different quality or accessories. The price of Garri now isn't like that of last year. White Blackberry bold 5 isn't sold same price as the black. Let your seller know the shipping charge has been increased and the quality isn't same as the one his friend bought. The one you have now is of high quality. Let him know he will get discount price in his next goods. By the time he comes back, he would be independent, no one referred him. So you sell to him at the original price.


The most important thing that can make you achieve this is letting the buyer fall in love with your goods first. Sweetmouth, sugar coat.

jdilight:

Bros what do you sell?

jdilight:

You mean you add the referrer fee to his/her first purchase and then knock it off in subsequent sells?

mayorall:


I am an importer. Basically on a particular tablet.
