Increase Your Target Markets

Today's feature article is:

Increase Your Target Markets
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Are your products or services geared towards only one
target market? You can increase sales and profits by
increasing your target markets. Below are some creative
ways to increase your target markets by using your existing
products and services you're selling right now.

REDESIGN

You can increase your target markets by redesigning your
products and services. For example: you're selling a book
called "Internet Marketing Tips For Accountants" You
could rewrite part of your book and call it "Internet
Marketing Tips For Lawyers". You've now increased your
target markets by redesigning your book.

ADD-ON

You can increase your target markets by adding on other
product or service with your main one. For example: if
you're selling a football magazine you could add a free
football when someone buys a subscription. You're now
targeting people who want the football magazine and those
that want to play football out in the yard. Sometimes they
buy stuff just to get the freebies.

TEAM-UP

You can increase your target markets by doing a cross
promotion with a similar non-competeing businesses. For
example: your business sells tennis rackets and you find
another business to cross promote with that sells tennis
balls. You could combine your racket and their balls in
one package. You are now targeting people that need
tennis rackets and balls.

Multiply Your Links

Today's feature article is:

Multiply Your Links
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

I feel the most effective way to get people to link to your
web site is by offering web masters the option of giving
away your free stuff. In exchange, they link to your web
site. Why would other web masters want to do this? They
may want give away a freebie to draw traffic to their web
site. They also may not have the time, knowledge or skills
to give away certain types of electronic freebies from their
web site.

Your links will just keep multiplying. When a web master
offers your freebie to his or her visitors. Those visitors may
decide to also give away your freebie. And so on and so
on... The more people that link to your web site the more
traffic you'll get. Below are four of the most popular types
of freebies given away on the internet to increase traffic.

Free Software

Offer free software from your web site. The software could
be freeware, shareware or demos.

Free Online Services

Offer a free online service from your web site. The online
service could be an e-mail account, search engine submission
or e-mail consulting, etc.

Free Information

Offer valuable free information from your web site. The
information could be a report, article, e-book, online audio
recording or e-mail course, etc.

Free Affiliate Program

Offer a free affiliate program from your web site. The
affiliate program could be pay per sale, click through,
two tiered, etc.

Now, I know, there are many other ways to get links
like trading or exchanging links with other web sites or
joining a banner exchange. You can also do joint ventures
or cross promoting. I feel these are not as effective as
multiplying your links. I hope this article can help you
increase traffic to your web site.

How To Use Database Marketing To Skyrocket Your Online Profits

Today's feature article is:

How To Use Database Marketing To
Skyrocket Your Online Profits
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Database Marketing is the gathering and storing of specific information
about your prospects or customers. This information is usually stored in
a database program on your computer. You would then use the information
to market and advertise to them. It can save you time and money because
you can target your promotional efforts to your best prospects or
customers.

The Types Of Information To Collect

The information will vary depending on the product or service you're
selling. If you're selling a product that costs $2 you wouldn't collect
information about their yearly income. If you're selling web space you
wouldn't collect information about what type of books they read. The
basic information you need would be all their contact information,
purchase history, and birthday. You will need to decide what other
information would benefit your business.

How To Collect This Information Online

It's pretty easy to collect this information online but the hard part is
getting people to give it you. The best way to collect this information
is to give them something FREE in return. Ask them to fill out an e-mail
survey before subscribing to your free e-zine. Tell everyone who visits
your web site they will get a free e-book when they fill out your online
questionnaire form. Ask them this information before they sign up for a
free contest at your web site. Sometimes you have to give a little
something to get a little information online.

Beneficial Uses For Your Database
Find out your customers purchasing habits. Use the information to
improve the design of your web site. Use it to write all your
advertising material more persuasively.

Find out the things they like or dislike about your business. Use the
information to target your best prospects.

Find out how much money your prospects or customers make. Use it to
improve your customer service.

Find out what new products or services they need or want. Use it to test
ideas before launching a total sales campaign.

Find out how to your improve your existing products or services. Use it
to build your customer loyalty.

Find out which benefits or features they like most about your products
or services. Use it to send electronic greeting cards on holidays or on
your customer's birthdays.

The list of beneficial uses are endless. Do you see the importance of
collecting this information? The Internet makes the process of
collecting this information quicker and cheaper than offline methods.
Take advantage of database marketing and watch your online profits
skyrocket.

Quote of the Day:

"Put away the book, the description, the tradition, the
authority, and take the journey of self-discovery. Love,
and don't be caught in opinions and ideas about what love
is or should be. When you love, everything will come right.
Love has its own action. Love, and you will know the
blessings of it. Keep away from the authority who tells you
what love is and what it is not. No authority knows and he
who knows cannot tell. Love, and there is understanding."
-- Krishnamurti

Survey Says

Today's feature article is:

Survey Says
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

Do you have a list of e-mail addresses of your customers or
prospects? Do you have a list of e-zine subscribers? If you
have their permission, send them an e-mail survey to conduct
market research. See if customers are satisfied with your
products or services, or see if they enjoyed their visit at
your web site.

You can learn things you didn't know about your business by
surveying. Maybe your customers buy your main product just
to get the free gifts. Your visitors may think it's to hard to
navigate through your web site. You may find out that most of
your customers make over $100,000 a year. By knowing this
type of important information you can improve your web site,
products/services, advertising, and marketing.

3 Popular Types Online Business Surveys:

Customer Satisfaction Surveys - what did you like or dislike
about our product or service, what can we improve or add,
how satisfied are you with our customer service, etc.

Web Site Feedback Surveys - did you find it to easy navigate
through our site, did you find the information you wanted, what
did you like or dislike about the site, how did you find our
site, etc.

Demographic Surveys - what's your gender, age, income,
occupation, marital status, etc.

Sometimes people don't want to take the time to fill out a
survey. To encourage them to fill out the survey offer them
a freebie if they fill it out. Some ideas are free ebooks, free
advertising, free reports, free internet services or a free
e-zine. Hold a free online contest or sweepstakes and ask
visitors to fill out a survey before they enter.

If you don't yet have an e-mail address list you could post
your survey on appropriate newsgroups, forums and e-mail
discussion lists. You could also upload survey software to
your web site or use a free survey service on the internet.
To find such services just type in the keyword "survey" in
your search engine of choice.

6 Payment Offers That Sell Like Crazy

Today's feature article is:

6 Payment Offers That Sell Like Crazy
http://www.PlugInProfitSite.com/main-21397

The way you structure your payment offers can increase your
sales. I'm not talking about the way people pay like credit
cards, digital payments, checks, and cash options. What I'm
taking about is can your customers try before they buy, pay
later, make payments, do they get a rebate, etc. Below are
six payment offers that will sell like your products or services
like crazy:

1. Sample It

Offer your customers a free sample or short version of your
product or service. Your sample should give them only a few
benefits of the full version. This will entice them to purchase
the full version to get the total benefits.

2. Name Your Price

Offer customers a choice of want they can pay for your product
or service. List your original product and price then add another
product with it for a little higher price. Your orders will increase
buy letting the customers choose their price.

3. Free To Try

Offer your customers a free trial of your product or service.
You could offer the free trial for 5 to 30 days. This is showing
them that you have confidence in your product or service and
it will sell itself.

4. Give A Little Back

Offer your customers a cash back rebate after they buy your
product or service. I feel a good rebate would be a least 10%
of their purchase price or higher. This will increase your sales
and, like most of us, they will forget to turn in the rebate.

5. Pay Later

Offer your customers the choice of being billed later for their
purchase. Bill them in a few weeks or a month. This will stop
you from losing customers who can't afford to purchase your
product or service at that time.

6. Little At A Time

Offer your customers the option of paying you a little at a time
for your product or service. You could divide up the purchase
price into bi-weekly or monthly payments. You won't lose
customers that may not be able to pay the full amount at that
time.
