EP 389 3 Money Generating Campaigns You Need Right Now
https://DarkHorseSchooling.com
SUMMARY: The Dark Horse Entrepreneur podcast is all about helping entrepreneurs who are feeling overwhelmed by technology and imposter syndrome. In this episode, Tracy and Jasmine discuss three old school marketing campaigns that are still relevant today. First, they talk about the importance of word-of-mouth marketing. Then they discuss the power of direct mail campaigns. Finally, they emphasize the importance of building relationships with influencers. These three campaigns may be old school, but they’re still incredibly effective.
Tracy Brinkmann explains that coupons and discounts are a great way to generate sales, but it is important to keep them on a schedule so that customers don’t get used to them. He argues that this is an especially effective marketing tactic in a struggling economy.
Tracy discusses the idea that offering a discount or coupon with a deadline can be an effective way to increase sales. They note that this strategy can be especially effective if the target audience is already interested in the product but may be hesitant to make a full purchase.
Tracy explains that one way to increase sales is to offer a discount or coupon to new and existing customers. She notes that this offer can be continued indefinitely as long as new people are seeing it for the first time. She also suggests that another way to increase sales is to make customers qualify for your product or service. This campaign works better for higher price points, and it allows you to reset the sales dynamic.

HIGHLIGHTS
And here’s one of the greatest things about being an entrepreneur, is you start watching sales and marketing pieces with a different eye, right? You’re looking at this going, okay, that was pretty good.
That paid offer makes enough sales to cover the cost of the advertising. The funnel is financially self liquidated, and the marketer is building a list for zero costs at the end of the day, right? So pay attention to some of these.
It’s a self liquidating offer, and many marketing sales funnels begin with this type of free offer or self liquidating offer if you’re paying for something. But even the free offers and the self liquidating offers will be immediately followed by a paid offer.
Yet sometimes we just tend to forget these bedrock campaigns that the marketing industry, let alone the online marketing industry, have been built upon. Think about someone as big as McDonald’s does something like this several times a year.
You’re flipping the sales dynamic in this particular instance from convincing them to buy to qualifying to buy. And you’ll be shocked at how this resets your own attitude, let alone the attitude of your prospective client.
