Finally, an exciting way to generate leads and I'm going to reveal a generation selling formula, you can make dollars with a fistula. It 'great fun to use, but is often applied. Want to know what is this? O.K., I tell you. You ... Draw! And here's how you can start using a generation as a tool to create your own list of possibilities: Let's say you own a shop retailing of fuiture. This is what I do: run an advertisement (or even better yet, use the various press releases) that says that there will be a new room of fuiture worth € 10,000, given to the person who enters your store ... entries for the contest ... and comes closest to guessing how many square feet of all fuiture showroom is the exhibition area. The person who guesses closest fuiture is delivered directly to your door. You must provide the movie, among other things, playing a video in more than one television monitors, and again in front of his shop, to build their enthusiasm for the next contest. Also, if you are really ready ... team with an interior decorator and tell the people who will design a professional and personalized design, courtesy of an interior decorator. Let your participants know the competition, the head of interior design is a value in itself "X" dollars. Or, it may also be associated with one of its suppliers of fuiture, and instead of having a "Guess the number of square meters is our showroom" contest, you can have a "Tell me how many king size [insert name mobile provider here] beds in our showroom "contest. See which of your suppliers are willing to share the cost of their competition with her, or perhaps the spring that had the whole affair. In any case, you call your place of generation of the competition: "The $ 10,000 Dollar Sweepstakes!" Then promote living Daylights out of it! What does a piece of direct mail to promote it (cards can also work in this case) ... use of local values Paks ... run display ads ... banners have announced their collaboration in all its store ... and give any interior decorator and move you know, printed on, to offer to their customers. This means 3 things for you: First, people are interested in you. Second, it forces people to enter his store to come and register to win the contest. You automatically walk in traffic, and the names and addresses of potential customers, you would not have without the competition. And third, because potential customers have to guess the size of its showroom, they are forced to walk through the store to make any kind of precision "surface" I think, eh? And you have idea of what each of these ports are sailing up and down each of their beautiful showroom aisles of fuiture? They have to control all the fuiture! Mom's will think "Oh this is so beautiful in the room of the child." Older people say "Wow, that would be outside of our patio." Crooked as Enron CEO Ken Lay and were licking their chops, saying: "Hey, you can use a lot of my shareholders' money to buy all new top of the line Herman Miller chairs for all the guys in the office! "Whatever it is. The point is, people are not only to enter, see the "$ 10,000 Dollar Sweepstakes" sign in booth at the reception, fill out the form, the draft of its entry into the box, and then leave. Now, at first glance, one might think of giving a value of $ 10,000 is much more mobile is to release. But unlike ... take a look at the figures. Remember, before you ever make the marketing decisions, you should review your numbers. Why ... It is the number businessfirst, NO ... marketing companies! So ... here are some numbers: Let's say, for a period of 90 days, you get 1,500 people to register. This is an average of 17 persons per day, which ... between you and your interior designer, and perhaps a move (which will make the delivery) ... must be able to do, especially with all the "weekend" traffic, fuiture stores tend to attract. (Oh, and by the way - according to the rules of the competition in his state, it may also be able to say in advance "The competition is valid only if we receive 2000 entries." Or whatever the number of jobs for you.) And ... say that the average retail customer is $ 1000 U.S. dollars. This means that you need to make 10 sales to cover the operation - now. Moreover, what the cost to promote your sweepstakes, so ... say you need to make 12 sales for this promotion to pay the costs. What you should ask is ... will make 12 sales, 1,500 people in his shop and has signed for the competition? This is a sale, all 125 people who come sauntering through its doors. Can? Frankly, I do not know. It depends on what your conversion ratio of prospects to customers. That is to say, as many potential customers, they really do become paying customers? But at least now you have a working formula to use, so you can find out what you need numbers to make this contest your work! In addition to remember ... Draw you use this to generate contacts for future sales, not to make sales now, right? Therefore, what must also be taken into consideration, is ... How many sales over the next 12 months, by sending a piece of marketing for all these months, with new potential customers who are qualified in 1500? After all, is not that what should be done with their potential customers, in any case? And this means: "Would you like to be able to make a sale to 1 in 125 people who came through their doors at some point over the next 12 months?" Well, even if only half decent editor. .. while you're doing constantly these offer an interesting perspective of each month ... you should be able to do so! Sweepstakes are especially good for retail stores, as seem to have difficulties in building their prospect list. It 'hard to find people with the names and addresses when you enter your shop, especially if you are browsing and not buying anything. And why are so efficient in the generation of potential customers for you? The answer is simple: Most people do not go out of their way to enter raffles for items that do not want to or not to buy at a certain point on their own. And, in fact, almost all businesses can operate in a competition. As if it was a hotel, while a night in a lot of their best rooms. Then do the same fuiture shop owner is not - to make an offer consistent with each person who signed up to win the night. When you run a competition to generate leads, you must remember in order to "lead generation". In fact, sometimes it is easier to create your own list of contacts in order to make consistent offers to its customers, which is just trying to sell anything.
