7 Great Ways to Market Yourself and Your Business to Help Increase Sales

Do you own a business and need ideas on how to market your products or services to your customers? Well, the one thing that every business owner needs to know is that in order to survive, you need customers willing to spend their hard earned money for your products or services. The only way to drive customers to your business is to market yourself and your business in a way that customers believe in you and willing to spend money. There are defiantly many ideas about marketing, but I have listed 7 great ways to help you get started. These are all intended to help drive up sales and therefore help make your business successful.

1. Persuade your customers to like you. People buy from people they like. You could tell them a joke, give them a compliment, give them a freebie, etc. For example, you could say, "I see you are one of those rare entrepreneurs who have a killer instinct for success."

2. Express the same views as your target audience. Bring up common likes and dislikes in your ad. This will create instant rapport with your audience. For example, you could say, "You, like me, know it's very important to find a good bargain." Another example, "Both of us know that money doesn't grow on trees."

3. People want to gain pleasure. They may want to satisfy their appetite or sexual desires. This will make them feel more fulfilled. Tell your prospects how much pleasure your product or service will give them. For example, you could say, "Our product will fulfill your cravings for rich, delicious chocolate."

4. Tell your prospects that your product has better safety features. People want to feel safe when they use your products. For example, you could say, "Our product has tested safer than any other product in our category." Another example, "Our product comes with a safety lock and switch."

5. Market yourself or your business as an expert. Most people have been told throughout their lives to trust and respect the authoritative figures in society. For example, "Our (topic) business has the largest selection in the world!" Another example, "I've read over 200 books on Internet marketing!"

6. Market your products or services to your target audience. For example, don't try to sell a football in a cooking magazine. If you really wanted to be creative though, you could sell a football in a cooking magazine. Just offer a free recipe book with each purchase. The person would think, "I get the book and I will give the football to my son or husband."

7. People want to be popular. They may want to be a famous celebrity or be more popular in school. This will make them feel praised and admired. For example, you could allow people to submit articles or comments to your web site that you would publish for the world to see. You could also publish profiles or interviews with your web site visitors.
