How Can Your Customers Help You with Referral Marketing?

July 1, 20111. Appropriate Structure
There is a special 4mat you should use for all your marketing materials. By answering these 4 questions in this specific order, you will be able to attract the most of customers:
- Why? Give them a reason to read more/contact you etc.
- What? Tell them what the benefits of your products are.
- How? Explain clearly how they can get the benefits.
- What..if? Show them what happens/does not happen if they contact you now.
If you manage to merge all these using a bit of creativity, you will create a marketing piece that will not only attract customers, but they will start to really want to buy your products!
2. Enticing Graphic Design
Unless you are a professional graphic designer yourself, it is always a good idea to have these items (or at least the most important ones) designed by a creative professional who will make sure that the colours match well; they will pick a combination of fonts that best reflect your company’s style, and give you lots of creative ideas you can then use effectively – don’t worry, these services don’t need to be as expensive as they might seem at the first sight.
3. Killer Headline
your business owners quite often ask themselves, “Why do I get no responses from my adverts?” Some of the responses you would get from a marketing expert might include the following;
- Your ad was too small!
- You should have used colour!
- You needed a better design to show it off!
- Your logo is wrong!
- Too much copy!
- Too little copy!
- Call to action was not clear enough!
- Etc.
They could all be right, and most of them could have helped somewhat, to your marketing effectiveness. But the real thing that pulls a response, once you are addressing the correct target market is the headline!
