Each of these 3 marketing strategies creates permanent growth for your business — and obstacles for your competition. You can use them repeatedly to add new layers of income to your business.

1. SET UP JOINT PROMOTIONS

Identify the characteristics and activities of your most profitable customers. Look for other non-competing businesses already reaching them. Then devise a way to set up some joint promotions. This proven strategy produces dramatic results — for very little expense.

For example, I once saw a clever joint promotion by a health club and a gourmet restaurant. Both catered to young professionals and business executives in the same town.The restaurants menu included several special dishes recommended by the health clubs nutritionist. It also distributed discount membership coupons for the club. Even their advertising mentioned the affiliation — to attract health conscious customers who often avoid food prepared in gourmet restaurants.

The health clubs monthly newsletters included a reprint of the restaurants healthy new menu items recommended by the clubs nutritionist. They also distributed the restaurants discount coupons to their members.

2. UNCOVER NEW NICHE MARKETS

Continually look for new niche markets you can serve. Then develop customized versions of your advertising appealing to the special concerns of prospects in each niche. Offer specific solutions to their unique needs and youll uncover new groups of customers eager to buy from you.

For example, I recently bought a new computer system for my business from a company because they catered to my specific needs. An ad in a business publication listed their special web site for small businesses customers. There I was able to order the exact configuration of hardware and software I wanted at the price I was ready to pay. They won the sale by catering to my niche.

TIP: One way to find a new niche market is to evaluate your existing customers. Look for groups of customers with similar characteristics you dont currently cater to in your advertising. Then create new versions of your advertising appealing to their specific needs. Youll attract a lot more customers just like them.

3. EXPLOIT EMERGING TRENDSPay attention to changes you notice in your business and your markets. Try to spot trends you can turn into new sales opportunities — before your competitors. The first company to identify an emerging trend and take action often becomes the market leader in their industry.

For example, many small businesses took advantage of the Internet early in its development. They used it to attract new customers they werent reaching off-line and to capture customers from competitors who didnt yet recognize the business potential of a web site.

TIP: Dont make sudden major changes in your business to exploit a new emerging trend. Instead, add something to your business to accommodate it. You dont want to alienate customers who arent ready to adapt to the new trend.

Start using these 3 marketing strategies to create permanent growth for your business. Use them repeatedly to continue adding new layers of permanent income without inviting competition.

I want to applaud her for being brave and attempting to share her talent with the world through this competition. Comparing this situation to business owners, I think that we can learn from her in that we have to be brave and take risk in our business.

Some of the risk may pay off big with a gold medal and some may not, yet we can be thankful for the courage to take the risk. If we as business owners don’t take risk and try new things even with the odds against us, how can we expect our businesses to grow.

Recently, I too decided to take a risk and write a book that would provide help to business owners and it is entitled, “The Ouch Factor” (www.TheOuchFactor.com). In this book, I share some of “the ouches” that I and my business associates have experienced with our businesses. I know that as a business owner I took a risk in writing this book because I am baring my soul to my readers and letting them see my imperfection so that it will help you deal with “the ouches” in your business.

Donald Trump. The name is nearly synonymous with wealth, power, and fortune. Whether you love him or hate him, you have to agree that what he has accomplished in his life is something to respect. You simply cant hate him just because he is rich, nor can you love him just because he is rich.
For those dreaming of that same kind of wealth and business savvy, simply wanting it is not enough. But if you are serious about building wealth, then you must be open to learning, and not just by reading a book – but by actually doing the work. This is after all where the greatest opportunities are born from. In this article, well look at some popular quotes and sayings of Donald Trump and see what we can learn from his own success:
1. “As long as youre going to be thinking anyway, think big.”
Its very easy to sit back and let life just happen, to take what it hands you and settle for what youve got. Thinking big is all about positive reinforcement for accomplishing your goals. The biggest obstacle in building wealth is believing it is beyond your reach. Think big and youll be big.
2. “Listen to your gut, no matter how good something sounds on paper.”
Instincts play a special role in any kind of business you engage in. They are your guide in the decision making process and the backbone of your thoughts. Following your instincts is as simple as giving them a voice, challenging yourself to look at things differently and learning to look before you leap.
3. “Youre generally better off sticking with what you know.”
Mastering knowledge on a particular topic or market is key to your success, but equally important is having a passion for what you know. Not only will you avoid a lot of guess work, you will be more convincing to others. Remember the kid in school who wrote a book report without reading the book? Well, it didnt turn out too well for him did it.
4. “Sometimes your best investments are the ones you dont make.”
Not every investment you make is a good one, whether that investment be in the form of time,money or both. The trick is learning how to weigh pros and cons, explore and prepare for potential pitfalls, and making a judgement based on careful analysis. While something may sound like a good deal, it doesnt mean it will be. Simply put, there is more to an investment than just the profits you may gain.
5. “I dont make deals for the money. Ive got enough, much more than Ill ever need. I do it to do it.”
Passion. Thats really what it all comes down to – a passion for your work, for the process of business, and even a passion for the creation of wealth. There is a big difference between loving money and loving the process of making money.
6. “I try to learn from the past, but I plan for the future by focusing exclusively on the present. Thats were the fun is.”
If you worry too much about the future, you cant possibly take steps in the present now to ensure that the future is successful. The past is merely a guide for helping you making better decisions in the present. By focusing on what you can do today to change your life, you are ensuring that you will reach goals sooner rather than “someday”. Right now is the best time to start!
7. “I wasnt satisfied just to earn a good living. I was looking to make a statement.”
People who have a passion for their work cant stop thinking or talking about it. They crave any opportunity to talk to other people with the same interests, they want to set themselves apart from the rest and ensure that when they are gone, they will be remembered for their unique accomplishments. The point is this – if you have an inescapable drive and passion for something, there is no way you can fail at it.
8. “Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.”
The thrill of the game is where you will learn everything you need to know about becoming successful. People who built their own wealth are motivated by the process of making money. This is what divides the dreamers from the doers – those who love to play game are more likely to win than those who sit on the sidelines wishing it was them.
9. “Show me someone without an ego, and Ill show you a loser.”
A strong, healthy ego goes a long way toward your success. Not only does it keep you fortified and focused on your success, you send a clear message to the world that you mean business. Think about it this way – would you let a surgeon perform an operation on you if he told he was not very smart and insecure about what he was doing? Certainly not. The reality is if you think like a loser, you cant expect be anything but one.
10. “The final key to the way I promote is bravado. I play to peoples fantasies. People may not always think big themselves, but they can still get very excited by those who do. Thats why a little hyperbole never hurts.”
If you can get people excited, interested, turned on and tuned in to what you have to say and what youre selling, then you have unlocked yet another door to success. Excitement is contagious, its part of our evolution, and with the spread of excitement comes an increased interest, awareness and demand for what you have to offer.
