"How To Beat Your Competition
and Eat Their Lunch."
Hello, my name is Frank Prieto and I'm a small business internet marketing strategist in Miami.
Did you know that a jaw-dropping 37% of advertising
dollars are literally wasted every year? That's right... More than one third of the money spent on
advertising goes right down the tubes with no effect on sales whatsoever.
Do you know why?
Because most business owners are not aware that marketing and advertising is a science.
The fact is that psychology and human behaviour play a major role in effective marketing and ads that
sell.
If you allow ad agencies or advertising salesmen to spend YOUR
money on ads that use catchy phrases, play on words, or artsy-fartsy graphics,
you're wasting your money on branding. You're far better off investing your
ad dollars on proven direct marketing strategies you can track and measure to know if your marketing is working
or not.
Branding should not be completely ignored, but for small
businesses, branding should be viewed as a by-product of direct response marketing.
The reason for this is simple...
Direct marketing can be tracked,
measured, and held accountable while branding CANNOT.
"The BIGGEST Advertising Lie of All
Times."
Be leery of the ad agency or advertising salesman that tells you advertising results
cannot be measured. They’ll say if you just get your name "out
there" to build "brand awareness" people will recognize your company and come knocking
on your door.
This type of advertising is referred to as branding or
image advertising. While branding may work for GM, Nike, McDonald’s and Coca Cola,
it won't work for you or for the other85% of small businesses
that don’t have the advertising budgets these corporate giants have.
If you're not General Motors or McDonald's why on earth would you want to advertise
like them?
Lets face it. If you throw enough money out there something has got to stick, but at
what expense? Most small businesses that try this approach go broke because they run out of money before they
can get a return on their advertising investment.
What works best for your small business is response based marketing (direct marketing) which can be
measured and tracked. This way you can test if your advertising is working or not before you spend the big bucks.
This is the way marketing is supposed to be done, and is the only way you can get a true return on your advertising
investment.
But don't take my word for it. Check out this video from the father of advertising himself David
Ogilvy. If you think this information is outdated think again. Remember, principles never change.
"Advertising isNOT an
Art."
Marketing and advertising is a science. A science with formulas and marketing tactics you can
implement to get quantifiable results and dramatically minimize your advertising risks.
Doing it right is a lot easier than you think when you implement proven marketing
"principles".
While things are constantly changing, principles never change. Today we have the
Internet, mobile devices, and wireless gadgets, but "what you say" and "how you say
it" (your strategic marketing message) must be communicated in a compelling way that penetrates through
all the noise in the marketplace. If you do this using proven marketing "principles" you can reach your target
audience with an irresistible offer and beat your competition. This is what marketing is supposed to do.
Effective marketing "principles" have not changed and it's safe to say they never will as long as
human nature doesn't change. And that hasn't changed in 4 million years.
The “creative” geniuses of institutional advertising have had to reinvent themselves
to start delivering results their clients can measure. Today a 37% waste in advertising dollars is
unacceptable and a shameful reality that has finally caught up with the advertising industry.
"My 101
Marketing Strategies."
Instead of 101 marketing Miami strategies, I should have named this section marketing principles,
but marketing Miami 101 strategies is a term more widely used when people are
looking for marketing help, so here goes...
Marketing and advertising is a SCIENCE... NOT an Art.
Your advertising has to be accountable,
not "creative."
If you have an online presence, but have
no traffic, you have nothing.
"Catchy" phrases and "play on words" have
no business in marketing or advertising.
Your EGO is your marketing's worst enemy.
Your marketing must include both online
and offline strategies.
Advertising is "Salesmanship" in print.
Marketing is not a gamble. If you treat it
as such you will lose your shirt.
No marketing is proven until it's tested.
When writing copy, say it in plain English so
even a 5th grader can understand it.
"The Days of Simple Selling Are
Over."
Today buyers no longer have to rely on limited sources of information about a
product or service. The landscape of business now involves increased competition,
information, choices, and more resistance.
Today there is price competition that didn't exist 15 years
ago.
Products are becoming commodities and a lot of the marketing messages are identical. This results in
the consumer's inability to determine whether
YOURcompany, YOURproducts or
YOURservices, are any better, any worse, or
any different than those of your competitors. This creates a big problem.
You must understand that people who will be buying from you have all these different choices. It's very
difficult for them to determine whether they are making the right decision in choosing you or your company to do
business with.
