Marketing To Your Friends
So now that you’re business is “Mr. Popularity” on MySpace, and you have lots of friends , it’s time to start marketing! Before you begin to spread the word to everyone, understand this… Do NOT spam your friends with advertisements and sales pitches! If you want to keep your friends, and not piss them off, I suggest you entertain them more than sell to them. Here are some ways that you can make your profile worth visiting again and again…
- Use the bulletin feature to send messages to your friends EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE (Too many bulletins equals spam in the eyes of your audience, and they’ll leave your ass in a heart beat.) Post bulletins that contains information that’s relevant to your friend’s interests. My bizMAVERICK bulletins often feature content that’s appealing to business people. Most of the time, I link people to the articles that I write here on SmallBusinessBranding.com. So 90% of my bulletin content is entertainment, and the other 10% is branding for the bizMAVERICKS lifestyle.
- With each bulletin you create, make sure to also post it on your MySpace blog. A profile that features an assortment of blogs is a surefire way to show your audience that your profile is worth visiting many times over.
- Post one single video on your profile that is entertainingly relevant to your product, and change the video as frequently as you’d like. When you change your video, make sure to notify your friends via a bulletin.
- Respond to the messages that your friends send you - Don’t leave them hangin’ without a reply. They were courteous enough to write you, so you should be courteous enough to write them back. You businesspeople should be able to understand that lifetime customers are made with a little time, love, and tenderness.
It doesn’t take that long to build a profile, so if I were you I’d get one going ASAP. What’s there to lose? If ya do it right, you just might find yourself with a whole lot more money in profits!
