How To Play The Marketing Game With The Big Guys by mrinfo(m): 5:36am On Jan 23, 2011
This is essentially a summary guide intended to spur more creative thoughts that will help you out market and outsell competitors that even possess deeper pockets than your organization has.

Lack of funds should not be a limiting factor. Lack of Creativity and adaptability are. What you require is the right people and the right environment and not necessarily huge reservoir of funds.

The Online Option
If you are going to outsmart and outsell other competitors to your business its high time you looked at the internet world. It still remains the most cost effective alternative to reaching out to potential customers and creating hype about your organization and its offerings.

Creative Collaboration
Once upon a time businesses fought each other and never entertained the thought of rubbing each others back. It never mattered that they may not be direct competitors. Today the smart thing to do is to have a plan of systematically getting marketing help from complementary business organizations to yours. A bookshop owner creates an enduring and mutually beneficial marketing agreement with a nearby theatre to display books from the bookshop that are especially relevant to films being shown. In return the theatre gets to display banners of showing movies at the bookshop.

Both benefit from the customer traffic to each organization. No one loses. Your situation can be made better with such deals just get more creative and look around with the mind to see opportunities.

Delivering the Wow! Effect
Service is a key fundamental to business growth and success. The customer involuntarily gets hooked and not ony comes back sends friends and family your way to do business with you. Everyday it is said with levity but actually the customer being loyal to your business is very important and cannot be achieved with the average service available everywhere.

Zappos is an example of an organization trying successfully to create a cult like following of loyal customers. The key test should be no matter what business you are in example selling shoes online if the customer needs a pair of shoes what option comes first to her mind.
It is called Occupying the First Position in the mind of your customers.
