| Wrong Product? or Wrong Marketing? You Decide.
Many new business owners feel overwhelmed about what product to
sell. Once they finally choose a product they start to notice
every Tom, Dick, and Harry trying to sell the same exact
product. Is the market over saturated? Probably not considering
hundreds of thousands of different people from all walks of life
log on to the internet for their first time everyday. Most of
them never knew the http://www.x10.com whole home surveillance
camera ever existed anyway until they closed their browser
window at the end of a surfing session to find the ever so
popular affiliate pop behind window . X10 did not necessarily
have a product everybody on the planet needed but it did offer a
huge piece of mind by having the new camera owners house looked
over and even recorded if they wanted to for $79.99
The X10 marketing team didn’t stop at just a simple pop behind
they used many creative techniques for selling these tiny
cameras. The team developed contests every month that would let
people enter for a chance to win a $500 gift certificate. All
they had to do was submit an idea for how they use the companies
products related to the theme of the contest and then email
friends and family telling them to vote. For example In December
the theme was “What’s the best way to use X10 products for
Christmas?” People who visited the website would read all the
different ideas and vote on the one they liked the best and this
determined what idea brought home the $500 gift certificate.
Many voters bought the products just because they wanted to
implement the different ideas they were reading.
The company looking to introduce complimentary products to the
camera outfitted it with night vision .Now they had a product
add on that cost them about $100 to purchase and sold for $239
that’s $139 per unit just for brainstorming and adding something
to the product that perceives value. Units sold at a rate of
about 12 a day on average for a profit of about $1668 more a day
just for adding something customers want to an existing product.
The current promotion on the X10 site is a pop-up entry Form to
win a complete home surveillance system. Just enter your name
and email address and you have a chance to win a complete
automated system. The company gives away one of these $450
systems every two weeks but on the other hand now has hundreds
of thousands prospects they can email with more information
following up with them over and over by email auto responder
until they purchase.
The lesson learned here is to feel passionate about what you
sell. Try it out ,use it, test it, drive the wheels off it. More
importantly be creative in your marketing .Creativity rules the
marketing world no doubt about it. Take out a notebook and
brainstorm a marketing campaign so powerful that people who
don’t even need the product will be pulling out credit cards.
To Your Success.
