1st two questions the top marketing consultant would ask you!
1. What is your USP (Unique Selling Proposition)
Wal-Mart “Save money. Live better.”
Subway “Eat fresh. Live green.”
McDonald’s “I’m lovin it”
AT & T “Rethink Possibility”
Clark Howard “Save more, spend less and avoid getting ripped off”
2. Life-time value of a client
one time sale, yearly sales and lifetime sales
Lifetime Value
To illustrate the concept of Life Time Value of a client, let's imagine you are the owner of a hair salon.
Questions to ask:
1. How much do you charge per haircut?
2. How many times per year, on average, do clients get their hair cut?
3. How many years, on average, do clients stay with you?
4. What other products do clients purchase from you?
5. How much do you charge per product sold?
6. How often do clients purchase these products?
7. How many referral do you get per client?
Formula:$40 x 6 = $240 on visits$20 x 3 = $60 other services$300 per client per year x 5 years = $1500Plus 15 referrals in the 5 years
Every new client is worth about $5,000 lifetime value if optimized
The right formula to get advertising to work!
Right Market
Right Media
Right Message
What are your clients “hot buttons”?
Example: Construction Company
Show up when you say, work done on time, don’t charge me more and do what you say you will do.
Example: Fencing Company
Same as above, plus my gates to work right, and stand straight.
The right formula to get advertising to work!
(Headlines are 20 times more important than anything else)
Example Headline:
Old ad:
2/3 bank financing on silver and gold
New ad:
If gold is selling for $300 per oz., send us $100 per oz. and we will send you all the gold you want!
This increased response 500%
