Is your marketing boring? Or are you taking the time to put personality in your marketing?

What can you do to narrowly define your target audience?

As you know, your marketing can’t be all things to all people. Don’t be afraid to offend people who would never be your customers in the first place. Think polarization.

Well, they don’t actually pay, the advertisers do.  They just have to listen to a 10 second audio ad before they get connected.

It’s brand new and you’ll want to get this from Brring.com

Here’s how it works…

You get a free number from Brring.com  and point it to your real number.

You then tell everyone you know about your new number and when they call you, you get paid!  How much?  Well, it won’t make you rich… but you’ll get between 5 cents to a $1 for each call.

Time to get creative here…

Use it when you sign up for mailing lists or promotions… you finally get paid when telemarketers call!

Use it anytime you place an ad… you’ll at least get paid even if they don’t buy anything from you!

And if you’re wondering… you don’t actually have to answer the call to get paid!  As long as the caller listens to the ad, you’ll get credit.

Is this a WIN/WIN deal?

It’s to early to tell, it depends on the advertiser.  It’s always a numbers game.

Test it out, mine is 804-200-5698, give me a call and see for yourself.

Get your new Brring number and get paid anytime someone calls!

The only thing on it was a picture of a family holding hands and a headline that said:

MidlothiansDirtyLittleSecret.com

“Soon Everyone Will Know!”

Wow!

Talk about the curiosity factor. I immediately asked my wife if she knew anything about this. She had no idea, but that was the first website we went to when we jumped online.

You won’t believe who this pre-launch is for…

MidlothiansDirtyLittleSecret.com

(by the way, Midlothian is the town we live in…)

Here’s the Marketing Maverick lesson:

1) Use curiosity. It really does work, especially for a broad market like this example.

2) Use offline promotions to get people online to deliver your message. The power of postcards break through the clutter of emails and really stands out to your customer.

An easy way to test an offline campaign is to use a company like www.SendOutCards.com to automate your mailing and see your sales explode!

Now everyone will know YOUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET OF SUCCESS!
