Mobile Shopping Can Increase Delta Direct Sales

Phil — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 17:51:38 +0000

Your Delta home business customers shop with their smartphone: is your business iPhone-friendly? Many Delta network marketers are still trying to bring their businesses into the digital age by opening e-stores that cater to internet shoppers who shop from their Vancouver home.

As usually happens, however, BC customers are way ahead of Vancouver entrepreneurs who operate network marketing businesses.

Vancouver internet shoppers are not only buying from their home, they are researching products and comparing prices on the fly with their iPhones, Androids and BlackBerry Curves.

This is good news for Delta network marketers because it allows us to compete even more effectively with traditional BC retail sellers.

Creative Delta direct sellers will use the same methods the big guns use to drive sales. If group bartering, limited-time text sales, and special Facebook deals work for national retailers, why can’t Vancouver network marketers use them to sell products and recruit team members?

Perhaps the next cool mobile selling strategy will come from the BC network marketing community.

What is Flexible Targeting?

As a Delta entrepreneur for Xocai, I use the power of direct marketing to reach BC chocolate buyers.

I believe Vancouver direct marketing is not an MLM secret, but the most straightforward and effective way to sell Xocai antioxidant chocolate to Richmond chocolate lovers and health conscious Surrey folks.

One of the key advantages of Langley Xocai direct marketing (sometimes called niche marketing) is that it allows for flexible targeting. This is an efficient and inexpensive method of selling healthy chocolate to smaller well-defined submarkets in the booming BC, national and global chocolate market.

For example, you may be surprised to learn that one of the most lucrative BC healthy chocolate submarkets for the Xocai Xe Energy Drink is Vancouver males in their twenties and thirties who drink energy drinks daily.

When I explain that Xe provides a constant surge of steady energy by promoting cellular metabolism, my prospects are curious. When they try Xe, Delta’s ultimate energy drink, they give up Red Bull, Rock Star and Monster for good. (Knowing what Xe does is one thing, experiencing what Xe does is something else altogether.)

Xocai Powerhouse cookie sales are brisk in the young mom demographic. Why? Delta mothers with young children want to give their kids healthy snacks. (Okay, some fathers care about healthy snacks, also.) They don’t want their kids to grow up on high-fat, chemically-infused Oreos and Chips Ahoy.

Is It Too Late To Make Money Online In BC?

Phil — Wed, 13 Jul 2011 18:33:14 +0000

Remember when you bypassed your Surrey travel agent and booked your first airline reservation online? How about ordering your first book from Amazon? Did you enter your credit card number with trepidation? Did you wonder if your purchase would actually arrive at your Surrey home?

Now, most of us in Surrey shop online without worrying about security or shipping times. Well, we might worry, but not enough to actually drive to a Surrey store to make the purchase.

Since online shopping has become a way of life for thousands of people in BC and millions around the world, does that mean that e-commerce is no longer a burgeoning industry? Statistics reveal a resounding ‘No!’

There is plenty of room for growth in online channels and among all customer demographic groups. In fact, some experts call online marketing the New Industrial Revolution.

Surrey entrepreneurs planning to launch an online store should feel confident. Consider the following:

1) Untapped Industries
There is room for growth in all industries (even traditionally strong ones) including weight loss products, nutritional supplements, cosmetics, home decor, and clothing. Even the most commonly purchased online products have not even come close to saturation level.

2) Developing Markets
As more people in developing countries gain access to a computer, online retailers expand their potential customer base; especially the retailers who carry products not available to these new online shoppers in their local brick-and-mortar stores.

China, Brazil, Vietnam and Egypt are currently hot markets for online retailers. Check it out at www.marketingcharts.com

3) Over-70 Shoppers
The age group that didn’t grow up online is quickly becoming computer savvy and are e-shopping in greater numbers every year. Smart Surrey online sellers will cater to the Greatest Generation.

If you are ready to profit on the online marketplace, I invite you to join my Activ, the healthy chocolate beverage sales team. I can show you how to set up your online shop. Contact me at 604.943.8598 today to start building online residual income.

Network Marketing, A Growth Industry

Phil — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 18:22:47 +0000

In spite of the cynicism and naysayers, the network marketing industry has boomed over the last two decades, and offers some attractive benefits for those thinking about starting their first small business. It involves little start-up cost, can be incorpororated as a part-time or fulltime career, and is open to all races, ages and backgrounds.

More than 13.6 million people in the U.S. participated in network marketing in 2004, and more than 54 million around the globe. The number of people involved in direct marketing has more than doubled in the past ten years; whereas retail numbers have been steady decline over the past decade.
As an industry, network marketing is experiencing rapid growth, with 2004 sales in the U.S. close to $30 billion and topping $99 billion worldwide.
More than 74 percent of Americans have purchased something through direct person-to-person selling.
The direct marketing industry is not affected by the same race, gender, and age biases often found in corporate America. Close to 80 percent of individuals are female, and more than 75 percent are over the age of 34. This diversity also includes a variety of educated backgrounds – from high school to postgraduate level training.
More than 85 percent of people in the industry work fewer than 30 hours per week.

America’s greatest fear is they will not have enough money for retirement. A network marketing home based business is a way to not give up the day job and build a nice secondary income.

Huh? 31.95% DON’T know what a “Squeeze Page” is?

Phil — Wed, 30 Sep 2009 02:57:59 +0000

Recently, James Grandstaff revealed something that I found quite interesting…

If you’ve been around the IM (internet marketing) scene for awhile, you’ve most likely heard the term “squeeze page” before, right?

At least that’s what I thought.

Well, James surveyed approx. 500 people on his list who are interested in making money online. Many stated they were interested in affiliate marketing, product creation, MLM, etc…

One of the questions was “Do you know what a “Squeeze Page” is?”

68.05% answered yes and 31.95% answered NO.

To be honest…

I was shocked that 31.95% said no.

What about you?

In light of this shocking survey data I decided to write this post today to go over the very basics of what a squeeze page is and why you should be using them in your business (if you are not already.)

And for those of you who already use them, pay attention. You will probably learn something too.

Here goes…

A squeeze page which is also known as a “lead capture page” or “name squeeze page” is a simple web page with one purpose; to get your visitor to give you their name and email address so you can follow-up with them. That’s it.

One of the best ways to get someone to opt-in to your squeeze page is by offering something
of high perceived value such as a mini ecourse or a highly targeted eBook.

For example, let’s say you are promoting a multi-level marketing business opportunity. The products are great and you are a raving fan.

Most people would just start promoting the website the company supplies. I say no. This is a perfect opportunity to implement the use of a squeeze page and offer something of value first.

That way, you collect the leads, you follow-up with an introduction of yourself and begin building a long lasting business relationship.

In sales, what we are really selling is “us” first, then the product.

You always want to provide value first. Once your prospects warm up to you, then it’s time to ask the right questions to determine if your product or business opportunity can help solve their needs.

If you’d like to see a high quality, high converting squeeze page that James has put together, you can visit the link below.

It’s important to read the “thank you” page on the other side you can get an idea of how the whole process works.
