Selling Sounds Easy -But it isn't
For the inexperienced, business success may appear simply a matter of selling more, to make more profit.
If it was so simple though; everyone would have a thriving business; and the reality is that most businesses don't thrive because they don't sell enough at a high enough price.
The marketing education you get from this course will improve your ability to not only sell more; but also sell it at a good price.
The key to marketing is to raise the visibility of the product or service you wish to sell and convince people that your product is preferable to alternatives. The internet is a vital component to the marketing mix of any business. It is one of the main places that people are able to place products or services to make them more visible for potential customers. There is so much information on the internet, however, that it is very easy for anything you put there to go unnoticed
If you want to be noticed it is important what you say, how you say it, who you say it to and where and when you say it.
- Recognise Information Overload - People are constantly being bombarded with an excess of information; every split second we are confronted with something new. It is easy therefore, when you are marketing a product, to be overlooked by potential customers. And even if they have some interest in your message, they may not take-in what you are trying to convey in any great detail. Therefore, visual images are important; a good visual image will capture the reader’s attention and they may then feel compelled to read on. Also being seen in as many places as possible by your target audience is also very important. Your website should be easy to navigate and for people to use over a variety of devices. The wording that you choose to use on a webpage must be powerful and informing. Never forget that there are thousands of other companies on a worldwide scale who are also vying for your customer’s attention.
- Become Readily Accessible – When people search for things on the internet, some things are easier to find than others. This may even be the case when people are specifically searching for your business. The more ways that people can find you, the more likely they are to succeed. Different prospective customers will search for your services in different places, and using different search terms. You need to predetermine how they will look for you, and build lots of different pathways that lead them to your web page / social media pages etc.
