Small businesses don't have the money to run TV commercial or buy ad space on website with a million clicks a day.
One thing I have found is a way WE all can do things together!
Let me just tell you about one program that Businesses Growing Together has been doing successfully for the past few years for its members for FREE!
Are you interested in growing your business? What better way to do it than with cross-advertising! What does this mean? Businesses Growing Together is all about EXPOSING YOURSELF! It's about marketing and advertising your online business.
Any time you purchase something via mail order, open your credit card bill, go through a checkout line or make just about any other purchase, the company doing the selling attempts to “impulse-sell” you something else. Any time you purchase something mail order there are always sale flyers and other promotional materials included in the box with the product you ordered.
Throughout this network of XXX amount of online website owners imagine how many boxes are shipped and received by customers every month - literally thousands and thousands! Most of those orders ship and include no back-end sales materials whatsoever.
Now imagine you are part of this network! In each and every order you send out you can include a the promotional flyer stating sellers specialties and inviting your customers to visit other eBay sellers or their websites.
Not only can these flyers be included in your orders but you can give them away to friends, leave them on tables at restaurants, leave them at local businesses, post them at grocery stores and whatever else you can think of!
All you have to do is drop the flyers into your outgoing orders to promote yourself and others in the network! You don't have to promote to your friends, family, and coworkers if you don't want to. You can promote specifically to your customers or through any other venue if you like and avoid contact with your friends and family altogether.
"But can't I simply include my own flyer and material in my packages?," you ask. Sure, but those packages are from customer that have already purchased from you. Think about all the potential customers that aren't hearing about your company. When we promote each other, everyone wins!
This is just one of the programs that Businesses Growing Together has to offer it's members.
This networking group is totally FREE at this time to any online seller that meets the requirements - such as excellent customer service, a minimum of 25 packages sent out a month and a few others that you can find on the site -
