Marketing Your Small Business Effectively Doesn't Have to be Expensive

You may even be going to those "Rah Rah" sales meetings for Avon or Tupperware - watching other reps take home cute little prizes and getting praise from the company for beating sales records. And there you sit, barely making enough to pay for your samples - if that.

If you have a storefront, you may be worried about how you'll pay all those BILLS. The rent, the phone, the lights, the heat - how will you pay them when the flow of customers into your store is nothing more than a trickle?

In a minute I'm going to tell you about a simple small business marketing system that will let you turn that completely around, but first, realize that it isn't your fault.

You were probably led to believe that placing some (expensive) ads in the local newspaper would result in a growing bank account.

It does - for the newspaper.

In fact, it may cost you far less, because you may already have some of the parts and pieces that go into that $131. For instance, you may already have business cards, and they're the most expensive item you need.

If you have the tools and don't have the business, you just aren't using them to market to your advantage. But you soon will, because I'll show you how.

When you do, you'll be able to forget about those expensive newspaper ads. Won't that feel good?

Let me back up for just a minute and tell you who I am, and why you should listen to my advice.

It's because I've done it myself!

My name is Marte Cliff, and I'm a freelance copywriter - a small business owner just like you. And I used to be a real estate owner/broker. After I had been in the real estate business working for other people for several years, I struck out on my own and opened a new office in a small town that already had too many (6).

Other brokers snickered behind my back and predicted that within 6 months my doors would be closed. Instead, within 2 years, our company had control of over 50% of all the sales in our town. And by the time I sold the business, 4 of them had closed their doors!

And then, after a few years I realized I loved marketing more than I loved selling property. My goal had become that of brining in customers and letting my agents do the actual listing and showing. So I sold the company and turned to marketing full time. Now I do marketing for business people all over the country, and it's a lot more fun.

Since then, new ways of attracting and keeping customers have emerged, and I've been keeping track of them - for myself and for my copywriting clients. After all, I love marketing, so I pay attention.

Now I've blended the tried and true ways I used with the new, inexpensive methods that didn't exist yet then, and formulated a system that will get your business off to a running start for an investment of only about $131.

So that you can get your business off the ground quickly and easily, I've put this information into an easy-to-follow 15 page e-book. I don't want you to wade through a bunch of confusing fluff to figure out what to do - so I made it concise.

I believe you want results right now - am I correct?

Don't worry - I'm not a techie, so there isn't any of that. This is a plan of action that you can carry out, even if you're even less tech-smart than me - the person whose brain shorts out after one sentence of tech instructions.

The new e-book is entitled:

• You'll learn how to use your current circle of friends to reach out and pull potential customers in - and create an even wider circle of people who want to do business with you.

• You'll learn how to keep every new customer interested in coming back - and in bringing their friends with them.

• You'll learn how to get the whole town talking about you - in a positive way.

• You'll learn how to use your website and your email to grow your business.

• You'll learn what to do to spend your money wisely if you do someday decide to place an ad in a newspaper, magazine, or phone book.

• You'll also learn how to get that newspaper to advertise for you - for free.

In short - you'll learn how to grow a business without spending a lot of money - and while getting better results than your competitors who DO spend a lot of money.
