: Whoa! Joe. : That IS a lotta questions! : But let's try. : : 1)The speed at which the website placement happened amazed : : me. I sent an email inquiry on Thursday, and Saturday, the : : information was on her site. How can I let as many other : : people who have websites with Christmas items for sale, : : or who would like to have Christmas Items for sale, : : know that I have an affiliate program in place where : : they can sell this unique, 2,000 year old antiquity : : through their website? : As always - look and see what made it work the first time. : And duplicate the effort smartly. : Search engines should be handy here for finding Christmas : items for sale. : A lot of work, but can be done. : : : It's November 2nd - Wanda, how could I have 60, 80, : : 100 or more sites marketing the Widow's Mite by : : the first week in December? : well - divide 100 by 30 days - and means you need to find : 3 sites per day. Is that ALL you need? : If you spend all your time per day doing that, you : will find it. : (a hint - look for PEOPLE, not for sites) : : (probably) for this Christmas, but Easter is coming : : after that, and catalog companies do mailings : : year round. Wanda, do you know anybody who does : : catalog placements, or how to go about doing so? : No catalog knowledge - enough to say that even for : Easter you might be a tad late. : Ask Blakes and Myers gang - they will know : : 3)I sent out a press release in August, not the best month : : for direct response, and of the 300 I sent out, one got : : an article published in Mobile, Alabama (I kid you not) : : three inquiries turned into one sale. It was a thrill, but : : how can I do this better? : : By learning how to write really good press release. : Read my next newsletter carefully :-) : Scout the web, too. : There are many great advice. : Writing a good release is paramount for your : success with media. : : station responded, I got an on air interview of sorts, : : and the gentleman involved did it to introduce his : : listeners to the Widow's Mite. : yeah - that's the beauty - all of the sudden one person : responds and the ball starts rolling. Nice - eh? : : : Wanda, who do you know who does per order : : advertising? And besides radio advertising, do you : : have a source of per order advertising for print ads? : : I don't keep track of this - because I generally teach : people how to do other things but advertising. : Look for small stations - the big ones very rarely do it. : The most flexible are those that have some unsold time : on the air (not all of them do). : Make sure that you are able to explain what's in it for : them and be prepared that you know much more about their : business than they do (sadly, there is a reason why so : many of them go belly up) : : 5)Fund raisers. Do you know of a source or list of : : fundraising organizations in need of items to : : offer with which to raise funds? : Have no source - but good thinking. : I am sure you will be able to find some discussion list : on that subject. Check my links page - I have a few readers : who are in fund raising, perhaps their sites are listed : on that page, with a contact name ready.. : : 6) Retail store chains. Can I directly approach : : retail chain stores for item placement? : Sure - if you have enough supply, do it. : Many small businesses got very successful through : selling to WalMart and the likes... : : : season. Is this possible? How do I make the approach, : : and gain the coveted register placement? : : Everything is possible! : Approach? : That's too much for me to say without data, analysis, : without knowing you and them - hey I am not a miracle worker :-)) : : Good luck!
