Replace Your Business Card With a One Sheet
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
The problem with business cards is they generally don't give
enough information about your business. They only have
room for your most basic contact info and maybe a slogan
line about what you do.
A business card can't list your hottest services, your latest
products, your upcoming bargains, or your philosophy on
customer service.
These are often the factors that turn a meeting into a sale.
Instead of handing out cards (or in ADDITION to handing
out cards), pass out a one sheet. This is exactly what it
sounds like, a single sheet of 8x11 paper printed on one or
both sides listing all the benefits I mentioned above.
Start your one sheet off with a headline at the top touting
your most impressive and popular benefit. What is it you
provide that customers almost always go for? Next include
a sub heading that explains your business a little more.
Follow that with a graphic (your photo, a picture of your
building, etc.) and a pack of bulleted features/benefits. Also
include testimonials from satisfied customers or recognized
experts in your field.

Keyword In Your Title
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
Recently I spent a lot of time looking up competitors in
major search engines. By far the biggest factor in
determining who got listed in the top ten of every search
engine was this: put your main keyword--the one people
will use to search for you--as the FIRST word in your title.
If you haven't done a lot of web design, the title is that line
of text that appears in a little box at the top or bottom of
your browser. It goes in the HTML code near the top of
your page.
For example, if I were going to put up a page on writing
keywords and wanted it listed high on search engines, I
would write it:
keyword in your title gives you top search engine listings
Notice I don't capitalize the K in keyword. Search engines
will match the way you write the word to the way users
type the word when they're searching for you. keyword is
different from Keyword is different from KEYWORD.
Most people search using terms typed in all small letters.

Q: Kevin,
Where can I find products to sell in business opportunity
magazines that I can have reprint/resale rights to? Also,
products that will be dropshipped for me as well?
Thanks,
Steve
A: Steve,
There has been a real explosion of companies that provide
wholesale drop shipping. Many of these products are showing up
on eBay. Search Google for "drop ship products" and you'll
get a big list of firms advertising that service. Last year
Ralph Wilson wrote a great article on selling drop shipped
products:

Q: Kevin,
I've enjoyed your newsletter. Have implemented your suggestions
as they apply to my brick & mortar business. We have a website,
www.Birdinsulation.com and two-step folks there with all
advertising. We're mailing 200 postcards weekly to targeted
areas for steady leads. Here is my question for your
consideration: Does the larger postcard have a higher conversion
rate than an identical smaller, standard postcard?
Thanks,
Bob
A: Bob,
Larger postcards tend to stand out more in the stack of mail.
Often, because they have their printing and graphics on the
outside where it can easily be seen, people pull the postcard out
of the stack of mail and read it first. I remember watching my
neighbor get his mail out of the mailbox at the street. Before
going back into the house, he stopped off at the garbage can and
one by one dropped "junk" letters, unopened, into the trash. A
larger postcard would have gotten his attention.
Best,
Kevin Nunley

Focusing on the Target
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
One of the definitive rules of marketing is to focus on your
target market; get them in your sights and them BAM! You've got a
mighty fine sale to put food on the table.
But many businesses would rather blanket the population with mass
mailings, operating under the assumption that out of all the
recipients, some of them have got to be part of their targeted
prospects.
Don't assume anything! Increase your chances of reaching the
right customers by executing targeted mailings, not mass
smotherings.
One way to figure out who you should target and what your message
should be is to dig through your receipt files for names. Check
all kinds of documents, including purchase orders and invoices.
With these documents you can determine who is likely to buy from
you, where you are making the most money, and what product lines
or types of business can be put on the back burner, or eliminated
altogether.
After classifying which customers are and are not buying from
you, tailor letters to fit each group of targeted prospects.
You will find that you can execute targeted mailings as often as
mass mailings, and your response rate will almost definitely go
up.

Getting Good Low-Cost Help
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
Undergraduates are willing to do anything to get some experience
and a reference to include on their resume. They know how close
they are to being jettisoned out into the real world, where the
battle of the entry level position begins.
Don't miss out on these students' ready and willing to learn
attitude. Oh, and their willingness to work for a modest wage,
sometimes even for free.
For instance, you could round up some marketing students to
design a questionnaire and poll customers. They get to say they
were involved in marketing research, and you get to find out what
your customers think and want. Everybody wins.
Or, you could hire a graphic design student to build your
website. It's best to harness their skill on the way up, while
their rates are still affordable.
And, of course, college students are usually willing to work for
less if you offer a flexible schedule. Classes are sometimes
offered during inconvenient times of the day, making it difficult
for college students to find jobs that will work with their
schedules. Give them some leeway on scheduling, and they'll give
you some flexibility on wages.

Q: Kevin,
My business is a disaster restoration business specializing in
Fire/Water/Soot and Mold Damage. We are a nationwide franchise
with quite a bit of local competition. Our busines should do
about 2million this year but we do not have what I would call an
effective marketing strategy. Can you give me some ideas or does
you business provide such a service that would target our
business?
Thanks,
Robert
A: Robert,
Good to hear from you. Before and after photos are one of the
most powerful marketing strategies around, and your business
could probably produce the best before and after shots ever.
Include those on your site, in your print advertising, and direct
mail pieces. Also use your testimonials heavily. Nothing works
better than a real customer talking about how awful the damage
was, but how you came in, set their worries at ease, and did a
great restoration.
Best,
Kevin Nunley
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Kevin,
I'm starting my first direct mail campaign. I have inkjet
mailers which I hope will return to me full. I'm sending them
out to lists of environmental agency donors and home business
opportunity buyers. I also want to send some out to new small
businesses and Christian schools because it can be a fundraiser.
I don't know if my envelope on the outside is going to say "free
inkjet mailer inside" or if it's going to say "new fundraiser
idea" inside. I may also customize the envelope but I don't know
if I wan to say more than that. There will be an insert on the
inside that will explain details.
Do you have articles on your web site describing what's good for
these sorts of programs? I'm concerned about how much or how
little to put on the outside of the envelope and about getting
too detailed with my insert.
Thanks!
Becky
A: Becky,
Your plan is very good. Get the Chamber list first and test out
your sales letter and envelope. "Free inkjet mailer inside"
would be a great teaser for the envelope. Make your letter quick
to read and don't leave too much mystery about what you're
offering. Once you try all that, you may want to purchase
mailing lists (or rent them). Look for "direct mail" in your
Yellow Pages to find local mailing list brokers.
Best,
Kevin Nunley

Getting a Sign For Your Store
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
Signage, as it is called in retail, can be quite expensive.
Those big, colorful, creative signs that adorn the outside of big
stores often cost thousands.
Yet few things are more important in marketing. Great signage can
make or break a business that depends on local traffic.
Here are a few things to keep in mind.
1. The businesses that need a great sign are ones that depend on
impulse visitors for lots of sales. If you are one of the only
businesses of your type providing a specialized product or
service to a very interested group of prospects, you probably
don't need much of a sign. Your customers will find you.
2. Think hard about signage while you're choosing your store or
office location. Zoning and landlord rules often tell you
exactly what kind of sign you'll be allowed to have.
3. Prices of signs vary widely. When I looked around my local
area, one supplier estimated my sign would cost $600. I was able
to get an online sign company to design AND manufacture a MUCH
better looking sign for $275 including shipping (see
http://www.signspecialist.com ).
4. A basic rule of sign designers is the fancier your sign
looks, the harder it is to read. If you want people to be able to
spot your name while driving by at 40 miles per hour, keep your
lettering big, bold, and simple.

Starting a Biz When You Don't Know Anything
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
Sometimes you see a great business opportunity that comes with
plenty of customer demand and oodles of potential profits. The
only problem is, you don't know anything about running that kind
of business. You may never have run a business at all.
Don't let that stop you. Some of the biggest profits in the
business world are earned by franchisees: people who are members
of a franchise. McDonalds, Wendy's, Subway and thousands more
are franchised organizations.
As a franchisee, you'll be required to follow the company system
to the letter. Most tell you what to sell, how to get it, how to
present it, how to price it, and how to market it. They may
even require you use a particular accounting system.
While that might tie the hands of some more independent
entrepreneurs, somebody who wants lots of guidance can fit
perfectly into the franchise system.
Sam Walton, the founder of the now giant Wal-Mart chain, started
out as a Ben Franklin variety store franchisee. Knowing very
little about running a store, Sam followed the Ben Franklin
system for years, eventually building a big regional chain of
highly profitable stores.

Q: Kevin,
I am about to start a website and be an affiliate for
travels/hotels industry, but someone told me that nowadays people
seek info directly from the industries, and make direct booking
to the hotels etc. rather than through affiliate
website/referral. Is there much room for affiliates to earn
commission. Do you agree? What's your suggestion for me.
Thanks,
Widi
A: Widi,
Many people do place their travel orders directly through
industry sites, but there are also a great many who like to
get advice and information elsewhere. Those people are quite
likely to place their orders through the site that gives them the
information. I've talked with many people who are doing well
with affiliate and MLM travel sites.
Best,
Kevin Nunley
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Q: Kevin,
I want to create a page that will let my visitors contribute
travel log articles about their vacation experiences. Can you
tell me what software I will need to create this?
Thanks,
Wayne
A: Wayne,
Great to hear from you. The easiest way to let people contribute
to your site is with a message board. You can get one free at
http://bravenet.com If you want to create your own message or
WWW board, you can get the scripts at
http://www.scriptarchive.com
Beyond that, you'll probably need to get a designer or programmer
to find and install a web content management system. This can be
pretty quick and painless for people who are handy with code.

Star In Your Own TV Commercials
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
Some of the most effective TV ads feature a business owner as
spokesperson. Sometimes the owner is serious. Others project a
silly or goofy image. Still others go for a down home feel that
makes customers comfortable.
Realize from the start that shooting a TV commercial takes lots
of time and effort. Dave Thomas, who has appeared in Wendy's
commercials for years, says it takes all day to shoot including
dozens of takes. "You have to be in the mood of the spot," Dave
says. "It takes a lot of work and I rarely feel like I get the
scene right."
Don't worry if you don't consider yourself model beautiful. With
all the perfect faces on TV these days, customers often respond
to someone who looks and sounds like a regular person.
If you aren't very good at acting, don't try to do a dramatic
scene. Unless you're going for cheesy, bring in professional
actors to do the dramatic lines. You can appear in the
spokesperson role.
The biggest risk in appearing in your own TV commercials is
coming off looking like you have a big ego. Don't let the camera
crew or ad agency talk you into something you don't do well.

Getting Your Press Release to Media
by Kevin Nunley
http://DrNunley.com
I was reminded again this week just how cheap and effective a
press release can be to get your business in front of a LOT of
people.
Stephanie McHue, owner of The Running Woman Errand Service, said
she reviewed the press release tips on my site, then tried her
hand at writing her own press release. "It was published in the
major newspaper on a Sunday with a big picture and story," she
said.
Your local media are always on the lookout for interesting
businesses in your area. This week I've seen my local paper do
big stories on a muffler shop with an employee competing for the
"fastest pipe bender" championship. The strapping young guy
bending an exhaust pipe made for a great photo. The paper also
covered a local barber who has been running his own one-man store
for 40 years...and a bakery that sells to police officers, school
teachers, and kids from their back door during the early hours of
morning.
Look for the things that make you, your employees, or your
business interesting to the media. Newspapers like a good story,
TV wants something that makes a good photo, and radio loves
anything that is funny, entertaining, or even sad.
Media organizations have gone wild filtering their email. I
suggest you email your press release, then regular mail it to the
media outlet, then call to point out you sent it (I'll get a howl
from editors for telling you to call, but it's the plain truth
the more noise you make, the more likely some of those editors
will notice you).
Kevin Nunley spent more than 20 years writing and reading news
for radio and TV. He knows what media are looking for in a press
release. See his affordable press release deals at

Here is a tutorial that lets you design your own
book cover:

Most of the designers I checked with charge $600 on up to
design a cover. This site charges considerably less:

Q: Kevin,
I am not really sure how the ezine works. I've read something
about a newsletter, but how does a one-time ezine work? Who sees
it and how does it help in our search engine rankings? I am very
interested in having one written but I need to fully understand
the concept.
Thanks,
Laura
A: Laura,
An ezine is an email newsletter (originally it was short for
electronic magazine...but that name didn't stick).
Mostly an ezine is a great way to stay in touch with
people who have visited your site or contacted you for
more information. Often people will be on your ezine
list for weeks, months, even years before they buy something.
An ezine can bring you sales week after week for as long
as you publish it.
Best,
Kevin Nunley
