Nowadays, everybody is searching for that perfect sales list to market to, we all know how difficult it can be to find a reliable group of people you can send information too, and actually get good traffic and feedback in return.
A lot of companies offer pre-constructed lists for you to send your information too, but a lot of the time, you get little feedback, if any at all.
It can be very frustrating to carry on this way, so why continue - why not create your own marketing list? It's easy and very cost effective, and more and more home based franchises are turning to it as a means of finding a good customer base, that is also ecommerce free.
First of all, by creating a page on popular sites allows you to put your business further out there in terms of Search Engine Rank, by doing this, it allows customers to find you easily and become your friend, your fan, or just join your group, this alone will give you a good over view of people who are interested in your company, because after all, they wouldn't have chosen to follow you if they weren't interested in your products or services.
Of course, as well as just a general overview, you will more than likely receive feedback instantaneously when people join.
More often than not, users join a group or a page to comment on it, whether it's good or bad, or just general suggestions or ideas for future products or services, either way, you will always receive positive feedback, allowing you to adapt your shop business plan accordingly, in order to suit the needs of your customers.
As well as this, more and more businesses are realizing the advantages that come with advertising through sites such as Facebook and Twitter once they have an online prospect.
By doing this, even more people can see your site, increasing revenue, but more importantly, you can pick and choose who you wish to base your advertising towards.
This is a brilliant advertising tool, because instead of advertising towards a general scope of consumers, you can choose exactly the type of people you will be advertising for, for example, if you're selling car parts, you might want to base your advertising towards people with an 'Interest' stated as 'cars', or even, for a wider spectrum, perhaps 'Males'.
By doing this, you're going to gain even more fans, friends and members, giving you a reliable group of people you can advertise and market to, who will always give you feedback.
Never underestimate the power of media marketing, it's eCommerce free and it's not only useful for expanding your home based franchise, but for creating a trust-worthy source to market to without wasting time and money for nothing, and because Social Networking is one of the biggest things to explode onto the scene in recent years, you know you'll be able to find people from all over the globe who will want to follow you and your business news every day - Have you got an online prospect?
