Re: More differentiators for a small business start up

Hello Friends,
Your ad strategy should begin before you even put the "Open" sign in your window. Getting ready for customers starts with the decision that you're going to open up your own business. Gear up now to reap the rewards of success for the life of your business. Know what you want to tell customers about your business. Let's say you want to open up a furniture store.Do you want to be known as the discount furniture store or the upscale furniture store? Do you have a large inventory or select pieces? The colors you choose, your logo and all of your materials should be consistent. Don't just choose red because it's your favorite color.Take this major decision one step further. Companies spend a lot of time and money on developing their look. No matter what the size of your company, you should too.What other businesses in your area will you be competing with for the customer's dollar? Identify those competitors and your differentiators.What makes your company better? What makes their company better? Take your company's strong points and use them to attract customers. Take your company's weaker points and see how you can improve them to fill those gaps.Even when your company takes off, continue to analyze your differentiators. There's always room for improvement and more sales as business evolves.
Thanks.

I first started dabbling in affiliate marketing in 1996/7, but it wasn't until 2001 that I finally learned what it takes to actually see decent financial return for the effort expended. It wasn't so much about working harder, just working smarter. After having achieved decent success as an affiliate, I then went on to work as an Affiliate Manager - to approach affiliate marketing from the other end of the equation was a very interesting experience.

I hope you find these tips, articles, guides, tools and tutorials of benefit to you in your affiliate marketing efforts. This archives contains information for both affiliates and merchants. Good luck!
