Ideas For Own Business

    View: 
There are various success stories that validate how calendar printing can be just the accessory you need to increase your activity, promotions, sales and any other function you can think of. As an example, in an attempt to raise donations, a local college distributed calendars that depict everyday college life to alumni.



These calendars were intended to awaken nostalgia and resurface the school spirit. It was mailed to the alumni with a letter from the president, asking for donation. The campaign worked and saw an increase of donations.

A coffee shop gives away a “free” planner, complete with stickers, scrapbook materials, and coffee coupons in exchange of completing the required loyalty card upon purchase of 21 drinks. This is an annual Christmas time promo, not a few people have come to look forward to.

Calendar Prints of Interest

•For people who have long lost faith in zodiacs, or never bothered to learn astronomy, calendars are the guide of choice. We map the forces in our lives, ruled not by celestial powers, but our own obsession with dates, national holidays, religious holidays, the family celebrations like birthdays, wedding anniversaries, death anniversaries, etc.

•We add to this the onslaught of our own important dates: Pay checks, start of the NFL season, end of the season, spring break, etc.

•Businesses have their own calendar seasons comprised of highs and lows, when to pay taxes, when to change the storefronts, when to launch the advertising campaign. And the most important time for you to be at the top of your game is to increase your customer awareness when they need to purchase their products from you.

•Even a starting business or entrepreneur can capitalize on this fascination with dates, and use the importance of calendars as a motivation for your promotional material.

•You can choose to invest on printing full sized calendars for your prime customers, or as a give away as a “free” gift with a minimum purchase. If you want your advertisement to be close by, go for a table top flip calendar. This is allows you to use one side for calendars, and the back to feature your products and services, where the person on the other side of the table can easily read.

•If this is still to burdensome on the budget, you can have thousands of pocket size calendars printed cheaply, and given away like a business card or flyer. It can also be printed on sticker, so it can be placed on a favorite notebook, or folder.

Calendar Printing Tips

Make your calendars desirable to your customers with the following suggestions:

•Depict the benefits of using your products or services in colorful pictures that capture the human interest. Explore a single theme, and use a single style to create unity.

•Create designs with vibrant colors as this attracts the eye.

•Make your calendar unique; include stickers as reminder for popular holidays, and labels with a birthday cake and a blank to be filled with the celebrant's name.

•Add in monthly promos, discount coupons, etc., the customer can tear and present to your shop. This urges them to action, and a way for you to track the effectiveness of your calendars.

Get into calendar printing now and beat the rush. Be prepared for the coming holidays and get ahead of the New Year that is about to come pretty soon.
Ideas For Own Business
The first five questions were: 1) In the next week, seven days, what can i do to...fill in the blank 2) In your industry, what marketing ideas are being used successfully? 3) Potential customers, what are five ways to acquire them? 4) What people do I know that would be able to assist me in converting my idea into reality and what can I do to make that as easy as possible? 5) How could I only spend $10 and still wow blank?

So without further ado, lets begin with Question six: How could I automate XYZ?

I asked Armand Morin one time, "Where do you get your ideas for all of your products?"

His response was simple but made complete sense. "It's simple. If something is taking me too much time to do, I ask myself, how could I automate this process? Ninety percent of my product ideas come from my ability to recognize what's draining my time. I'm lazy. I want to automate everything."

This is a powerful question, that even the big internet marketers obviously ask themselves. How could you increase your productivity by automating XYZ?

Next question - number seven: How could you simplify XYZ?

Is it complicated to buy from you? Have you ever tried to buy from yourself and gone through the process? There are so many products that I've purchased that are absolutely painful to actually buy from somebody.

I had this happen to me actually just a little while ago. I was interested in purchasing a dedicated server from a certain company but their buying process was extremely difficult. It became so frustrating that I ended up giving up and purchasing one from someone else.

That company should have been asking themselves: How can I simplfy the purchasing process for my clients?

You should really think about this question too. By doing so, you will spark a whole bunch of ideas about different processes you can use in your business.

Question eight: Thinking about my target market, what product should I create to solve one of the problems they are experiencing?

Alex Mandossian created a phenomenal piece of software, a phenomenal tool called the Ask Database. For those of you who have it, use it. Constantly ask people what products they're having. Find out what problems they're having and solve them.

Being able to find problems and solve them is an attribute that all creative thinkers should have and use. Being able to solve someone else's problem will always keep you in demand.

Write this down - www.Answer.Google.com - this is a great website and powerful tool to use to find problems that exist.

When you go there, I want you to click on the category that is most applicable to you and your business, and find out what questions people are asking. Those questions are problems.

If there is a commonality in the questions, that will be a clear sign that many people are experiencing the same problem. Those problems need a product in order to solve them.

Ask yourself this question repeatedly: Could a new product solve one of the problems experienced by my target market?

Question number nine: Alex Mandossian brought this question up at a recent Big Seminar - How can my current products or services be residualized?

In today's day and age, look to get paid not once, but more than once. Time and time again. Every single month or whatever. But if you look to constantly residualize your products or services, you're going to have a constant stream of cash flow. Rather than fighting to try to get new customers, you really benefit and leverage your existing customers.

How could my current products or services by residualized? -Ask yourself that question.

Next question, and the final question I'm going to leave with you is: How could I increase the value of what I'm currently offering?

Thinking in the customers favor and frame of mind is really going to get a whole bunch of ideas popping into your head.

When you start to benefit the costumer, the most positive feedback you and your business will receive. When you have a happy customer the more likely they will come back to you again, bring in more revenue for you and spread praises about your products and services.

Using this question I was able to get 100% satisfaction from the first seminar I ever held. I asked myself, how I could increase the value, before any of the attendees arrived. By doing so, I was able to deliver bonus after bonus to them throughout the seminar. At the end of the three days people kept coming up asking when the next Idea Incubator would be because they were thrilled at the amount of information they received!

Heck, at the Big Seminar they were spreading the gospel, if you will, of what a great time they had and what great value they got at that Idea Incubator seminar.

By asking myself how could I increase the value of my current offering, I now have a group of individuals praising my event. This only happened because I asked myself that question and put forth the effort to do so.

By asking yourself that question, new opportunities emerge with for your business, services and products.

That's it!

Processing the ten questions I hope you got a lot out of it, just like I did!

May ideas come to you when you need them most.
