7 Insights to Marketing

  • Market where your customers are reading and viewing, not to where you and your competitors are reading and viewing.
  • Push your electronic marketing to your customers. Do not wait for them to find you.
  • People still enjoy thumbing through a catalog. They still pile them around for reference and ideas.
  • Mailers are like fishing. Right bait, right time, right place, equals right circumstance (bite).
  • Inspire your customers to think. What have you done or thought about lately to _________.
  • Reduce the risk of injury?
  • Improve your order fulfillment?
  • Improve security or reduce pilferage?
  • Be ‘simply impactful.’ You do not have their attention long, maybe 30 seconds.
  • Utilize pictures, kitting (sell it the way they use it), and prices (even if it is estimates).
