Super Bowl of Marketing

Leave a comment

We’ve got affiliates all over the world, but this weekend is an important one for many sports fans in the US. It’s Super Bowl Sunday this weekend, and while it may seem like it’s all about [American] football, there are many marketing lessons to be learned from the hype for the big game and the commercials. We share three marketing tactics that have been used in the weeks leading up to the Super Bowl and will surely be seen again on Sunday.

Create Buzz

The Super Bowl hasn’t even happened yet, but many people are already placing bets on what will be the best commercial. This is because many companies have been working for the past month to tease their products and leak commercials to create buzz leading people to want to learn more. This is something you can do in network marketing too. Though you don’t have the budget for these blockbuster commercials, you do have the internet, social media and your own website right at your finger tips. Create buzz with short emails about your new videos for GDI. Create buzz with videos on your website inviting people to learn more about your business. Don’t wait until you’ve finished your site completely or edited your video totally to tell people about it, share beforehand what people can expect and keep them interested while you work behind the scenes.

Let People Know Where to Find You

It’s impossible to see a commercial these days that doesn’t end with a website and their Facebook and Twitter account information. These companies want to make it as easy as possible for you to learn more and stay engaged. Use this tactic with your business, make sure everyone who comes to you site, sees your video, or stumbles onto your Twitter knows exactly how to contact you and where to learn more.

Invite Conversation

Before the Big Game, you already know some of the commercials will be playing and who will be performing in between plays. This kind of information invites conversation. Conversation is another way to get people engaged, even those who don’t care about American football. Companies know that conversations are powerful and that word of mouth marketing can’t be beat. So share information and ask questions on your social media sites that will start conversation and get people talking about your business.

Simple Tips: Proofreading

1 Comment

It’s something we’re all guilty of doing, in fact, you can probably find examples of it on this very blog. It’s leaving typos, misspellings and improper formatting in what you publish on your site and it’s something that can be easily avoided by proofreading.

Getting content and information on your site is one key to staying on top of your business and so is making sure that content is clear and free of errors. When you read information on a site and you find a simple spelling error, that site often loses its credibility for you quite quickly. If a site can’t even take the time to share error free information, that doesn’t say much about the services they can offer you.

Remember to proofread and check your content before publishing on your site. Follow a few tricks to ensure you are presenting the best information.

Read Out Loud

Once you’ve drafted your content and proofread once, take the time to read through again, but out loud. Reading your content out loud can help you to hear anything you may have worded awkwardly and catch other errors you may have missed while just reading silently to yourself.

Fresh Eyes

If you aren’t in a rush, walk away from your content before posting it. Do something else for an hour and come back to your content and you will be able to see errors you may have missed the first time. Many of us have a habit of reading what should be there rather than what is there, so stepping away from your work can give you fresh eyes to see the real content.

Call in Back Up

Ask someone else to read your content before posting. They can see errors you have missed and help you clarify anything that may be confusing to someone else.
