Marketing, Publicity and Promotion--What the Hula Hoop Can Teach You About These Essential Tools
One of the most distressing things to anyone in marketing, publicity, promotion or advertising is the perception to think they are all the same, and that they are all sales. They each have different goals, techniques, products and outcomes. Although it may be desirable to be using all elements of marketing, publicity and promotion as essential tools in your business kit, there will be times that these disciplines and tools are sequential not ov

Preview 3: Within the body of your article (if you're using it in an ezine and running sponsored ads) refer to the benefit which is coming up (after the ad). Again you want to keep your reader 'on the page'.

Don't Be a Secret Agent
This tactic of the game was hard for me to master and at first I failed many times. I carried my business cards only in my briefcase, because I thought they were only used in business. Wrong! I missed quite a few opportunities to toot my horn because of that misconception. Not only did I miss the opportunity, but when it did arise, I looked like an amateur. Here’s what happen on one of those occasions.One day while standing in a ban

There are principles of marketing, and there are marketing strategies.

The principles of marketing have never changed. However, marketing strategies change all the time to reflect the marketing medium in which they're being used... and the products and services the marketers are selling.

One core marketing principle is to arouse curiosity within the target market by using a benefit laden "Preview" (or teaser) technique.

There is a LOT one can learn about marketing on the Internet - and the use of this curiosity/ teaser technique - by watching TV.

How does one do this? Watch TV sports shows.

These TV sports shows clearly demonstrate this time perfected, well established (preview/ teaser) technique which has been used in marketing for decades. Other versions of this technique were/ are used in radio

The technique is also used regularly by TV news programs, soap operas, and (in a different way) with newsprint.

This technique is called the PREview (or teaser) 'technique'.

Take a sports show for example. Before the show the station will run clips which "preview" what's coming up in the sports show.

When the sports show starts the hosts will "preview" what's going to happen during the show. This technique is used again during the show (usually before the commercials) to preview what is coming up after the commercial (to keep the viewer watching the program).

The preview/ teaser technique will be used again at the end of the show to tell the viewer what's going to happen in the next show. This time it's used to get them to come back to the next show, or it's used as an end-of-program preview to direct the viewer to another (theme related) TV show on the same network.

So, how can you use this preview/ teaser technique with your own Internet marketing campaigns?

The primary way to use this technique is by using articles.

These can be articles you use in your own ezine, blog or articles which you write and then submit to article directories (for exposure across the net).

Here's how you structure your article using this tried and tested preview/ teaser technique.

Preview 1: Your article headline needs to be intriguing and contain a benefit for the reader (so they'll open the article and read it).

Preview 2: Tell your readers (up front) what you're going to tell them. Again, this 'preview' needs to be benefit laden, so people read the entire article.

Preview 4: This can be your sig (resource) file. Again, refer to an 'additional' benefit (for the reader) when they click on the link in your resource file. People have read

Interrogative Interviews - How To Win The Job
Many have gone for an interview at least once in their working lives. That is common. Meeting with good and friendly interviewers is also very common. One uncommon experience that some people may have is with interviewers who were like “interrogators”.The candidate sits down in front of the interviewer, greets him or her and accepts the chair politely. What happens later is that the interviewer starts to question the candidate and repeat

To Inspire Perfect Service – Tip!
Have you ever experienced lousy service?

The interesting thing about this "preview" technique is that the same technique works exceptionally well when one is lecturing on a topic.

In this case a 3 step format is used, being...

1. Tell them what you're going to tell them (in your lecture),

2. Tell them (about the topic),

3, Tell them what you've just told them (in your lecture).

Perhaps this "preview" technique is not so much an invention of marketing but more so an aspect of Human neurology (because the attention span of an average individual is about 20 minutes). Whatever the reason, this "preview" technique works!

Whether you already own a window cleaning company or you are looking at starting your own window cleaning business. One of the first things you need to get squared away in your head is that you are a 'window cleaner' and in the window 'cleaning' business, NOT a window washer in the window washing business. You may think that the distinction is silly, but I guarantee you it is important.

A higher frequency of Changing Careers has been related to the new economy. Work at home careers has increased in the last years. A dream job increases your possibilities for self realization. What has the internet to do with this?

When most people decide they want to make more money, what do they do? They look for some MAGIC program like making money from home, making money on ebay, real estate, stock market, commodities, and so on. They desperately and frantically buy one program after another. They flock from one seminar to another listening to the promises of the gurus who tell them they will make tons of money overnight! And-they FAIL miserably.
