The Four P’s: Promotion

marketingAs an affiliate marketer, it helps to know a few traditional marketing practices. A practice you will hear over and over is following the Four P’s. These are: product, place, promotion and price. These help you decide how to market your product and ultimately be successful. This post will focus on the use of promotion to get the most from your marketing efforts.

Promotion

Promotion in the Four P’s is just what it sounds like. It means how communicate what your product can offer others.  As the result of this, the first part of promotion is letting prospects know that your product exists and what it has to offer. This means you should learn as much as you can about GDI and then begin to share or promote the website, the income opportunity, the domain or whatever is your favorite.

The next aspect to promotion is separating your product, the GDI domain and income opportunity, apart from others. For starters, GDI offers includes site building and management tools that others do not. Think of more ideas why GDI stands apart from the rest and share them as you create marketing materials. Clear differentiation from other products will make your marketing much easier. Promotion is just one part of the Four P’s, but the most important when it comes to GDI.

What Not to Do on Facebook

Facebook is a great tool for marketing online. It’s an easy way to connect with others, expand your network and identify friends who may be interested in growing their own business. Facebook gives you a lot of freedom, but if you’re using it to market, you need to be careful with this freedom. Here’s what not to do when you use Facebook to market your business.

Don’t link blast

Links are important, but they lose all meaning when you share the same ones over and over without any content. You can use Facebook to direct people to your site, but you need to do it the right way. This can be accomplished by sharing great information or an inviting tease. Posting something like “This one tip will help you grow your business, see it on my blog www.janesblog.ws” is much more inviting than just blasting www.janesblog.ws in every status update.

Don’t talk about yourself all the time

You want to share your business, but that can’t be all you talk about. Try to engage people by sharing helpful articles relevant to your industry and your own tips often. Supplement this with information and links to your business. This well rounded approach to marketing will keep your network tuned in and not overwhelmed.

Don’t target the wrong market

Who are you friends with on Facebook? This can change how you market. If you know your Facebook friends aren’t interested in new business, then it’s time to reach out to groups on Facebook or add new people to your network. Even the best marketing will fall flat if it’s aimed at the wrong audience.
