Colors and Your Marketing
Effective marketing is a strategic mix of many factors ranging from developing a compelling message to a psychological understanding of your prospects and customers basic needs. An important part of the mix to create a “look and feel” of your business that enhances your identity and core message. With that end in mind today’s post is about using color in your marketing.
The colors you use in your marketing (stationery, signs, office decor, brochures, business cards) — play an important role in engaging and motivating people. Colors make strong statements about your business. Guerrilla Marketers know that colors can sometimes speak louder than words. They stimulate emotions, excite, impress, entertain, persuade. They generate negative reactions if you don’t understand them. Lasting impressions are made more quickly than ever so consider their meaning to prospects.
While developing the curriculum for my Guerrilla Marketing Coach Certification Program I came across this list of color descriptions created by Jay Conrad Levinson, the Father of Guerrilla Marketing. I think you will find it interesting.
Red evokes aggressiveness, passion, strength, vitality. In business, it is great for accents and boldness, stimulates appetites, is associated with debt.
Pink evokes femininity, innocence, softness, health. In business, be sure you’re aware of its feminine implications and associations.
Orange evokes fun, cheeriness, warm exuberance. In business, it’s great to highlight information in graphs and on charts evokes positivity, sunshine and cowardice. In business, it appeals to intellectuals and is excellent for accenting things. Too much is unnerving.
Green evokes tranquility, health, freshness. In business, its deep tones convey status and wealth; its pale tones are soothing.
Blue evokes authority, dignity, security, faithfulness. In business, it implies fiscal responsibility and security. Plus it is universally popular.
Yellow is an optimistic color that almost always evokes a positive response. Yellow gets you motivated; it stimulates creative and intellectual energy; it’s cheerful and easygoing. Read the rest of this entry »
A Creative Example of Low Cost Marketing
The following short story is a great example of how thinking “out of the box” can get you new business even in a tough economy.
A savvy restaurant owner knew the value of asking the question, “What other businesses do my customers patronize?“
Realizing that competition was fierce in their neighborhood this owner used imagination rather than pure marketing dollars to spread the word of her terrific food. Here was her Guerrilla strategy:

She distributed coupons for two free dinners to all the hairstyling salons within a one mile radius of the restaurant. Of course the stylists checked out the restaurant. Because the food was as fantastic as advertised … the hairstylists talked it up to every one of their customers at the salon! And as you know lots of information is exchanged at a local hairstyling salon or barbershop. News spread fast and her business became the talk of the town!
The Right Way To Approach Your Marketing Partners

As you surely know the downturn in the economy has made times are more challenging for the entrepreneur. But not for Guerrillla marketers.
Any savvy marketer knows that developing powerful partnerships can be the key to surviving any economic storm. So in this post lets look at how you can successfully connect with influential marketing partners in your industry.
Before choosing a JV partner make sure that you:
• Know exactly what they want most from the venture… It may not be what you assume.
• Are fully aware of your own goals… and that you’ve communicated them to your would-be partner.
Who’s Got Your Back? My Dinner With Keith Ferrazzi
Last weekend I was invited by Keith Ferrazzi, author of Who’s Got Your Back? to a private dinner with him and about 20 other successful entrepreneurs at the NSA Convention in Scottsdale, AZ. Hosted at the Tuscany Restaurant at the Marriott this dinner was all about really connecting with others, something that is becoming less common in today’s rushed world.
Keith stood up before dinner and set the tone for authenticity, purpose and fun. There were stimulating conversations on the trends in social media and even political discussions on how we got into this recession.
During this dinner and Keith’s presentation at NSA I really experienced on a deeper level how important it is to have key people in your life that you connect with on a very real level. People who “have your back”.
Here are a few key points in his presentation.. But I encourage you to get his book — it is excellent. (Click here)
1) Relationships are the “secret sauce”, the key to success in business and life. Develop a small group of 3-4 key people (he calls this a lifeline group) who are really there for you for support, encouragement, feedback and accountability. Take safe risks and stretch with these people.
