Attraction marketing is the strategy online marketers use to bring customers to their businesses. Anyone who has mastered the strategy has no problems finding potential customers.
The principles of attraction marketing are applicable to any kind of online businesses and is ideal for home based businesses operating on a small budget.
To attract prospects and customers you need to provide value. This means providing information that prospects find so useful they will contact you either to request more information or because they are ready to buy something from you.
How to use attraction marketing to attract potential customers.
- The first step is to create a website or a blog. Having a web presence makes it easy for prospects to find you. Also, these days a business that doesn't have an online presence may be considered as a fly-by-night operation.
If you're new to internet marketing, here is a really simple way to get a blog going quickly without getting overwhelmed in the process.
The key is to focus on providing useful information to attract prospects to the site. You need to make every page screaming out " Yes you've come to the right place!"
- Set yourself up as a solutions broker on your site. Settle on a niche. Determine the specific demographics of your visitors, figure out their needs and problems, then research your topic thoroughly and use your knowledge to solve their problems. When you're perceived as an 'expert' in your field you have built credibility which in turn generates trust. People tend to do business with people they trust.
- Brand your business. What's unique about your business? Why should visitors do business with you? Is it your personality? your outstanding leadership? your marketing skills? Use your strong points to attract customers.
- Offer something. You want to build a relationship with prospects so give them something of value in return for their contact details.
If you are a network marketer, it's best not mention your mlm company nor link to it on your site. That's too early. Instead, leave the door open by making sure your site contains all the necessary features that enable them to initiate contact.
- your contact details
- 'About Us' page
- opt-in form
- a compelling call to action.
Then advertise your site anywhere, everywhere it makes sense online and offline.
- social bookmarking
- social networking- linkedIn, Facebook,Twitter
- Forum - go there to add value and to get traffic
- Blogging and blog comments
- Email marketing using an autoresponder
- Directory listing- look for free niche directories
- Flyers at local cafes and community notice boards.
- press releases
- videos
- conferences
- Real life networking
- Craigslist
- email signatures
- give away freebies
- add your url to stationary and business cards
Write articles and post them at shared site - hubpages, squidoo,ning, e-zines.
With each piece of article you write, videos you post, include a compelling bio that makes them want to find more.
So you see the secret to attraction marketing is to focus on providing relevant educational information that will urge visitors to initiate contact because they want
- more information to help them make more educated decisions
- they believe your products or service will bring benefits to their lives
- they believe you have something to offer that will make them feel good.
Attraction marketing is a powerful and efficient way to build an online business because only highly interested visitors will initiate contact. This is what Sara Ding,a network marketer said about a website she built to attract endless prospects to her home based business -
"And what's amazing above it all is that it doesn't seem like I'm selling. People who contacted me have already been sold on my website. They have already seen and felt my passion and know that they want what I have to offer. When they call me, their mind was already made up to make that purchase."
