The Most Important Guerrilla Marketing Principle of All

Every contact with the public is marketing.

This simple but essential piece of wisdom was coined by Jay Conrad Levinson back in 1984 in the first Guerrilla Marketing book.

Key Points:

  • Marketing is EVERYTHING you do to promote your business.
  • It begins the moment you visualize your business and continues up to, and long after your customers buys your products and services regularly.
  • Marketing is always intentional and detail orientated, and overlaps to every single part of your business. It’s the way you pick up the phone, the care you put into your web page … its every contact.
  • Marketing is a continual process that develops over time.
  • The consistency of your marketing messaging is so important.
  • In this cluttered marketplace you need to gain mind share so people remember you.

Your Action Step:  

Look at your business, meaning your website, your email communication, your communication over the telephone and see if there are any small details you are missing?

Do you have:

- an enthusiastic tone of voice?

- an absence of typos or errors?

- do you think thoughtfully about what you are going to say to people?

Make a list of anything that needs improvement.

Create Sales Pages That Get More Sales

Guerrilla Marekting on the InternetThis checklist, excerpted from Guerrilla Marketing on the Internet, contains the most important elements and devices to include in your sales letter. So, learn them, memorize them, and use them.

 

1. Identify your visitors’ most urgent problem

You can’t create an effective sales letter if you don’t know or can’t articulate your target audiences’ most pressing problem. So, before you do anything else find this out, otherwise your letter will be for naught.

Once you’re sure you’ve captured it accurately, dig a little deeper and see if there are one or two others that are weighing on their minds and jot them down as well. And remember, you’re the problem-solver, so make sure you offer the best solution.

2. Create an attention-grabbing headline (and subheadings)

The Internet is a very crowded place and your website will either be a momentum-gathering snowball heading down a steep mountain or just another snowflake in the blizzard. If you don’t want your website to get lost in the crowd your headline must instantly call out to your visitors and pique their interest. If it doesn’t they’ll leave. If it does, you’re over the first copy hurdle and they’ll stay a bit longer.

Guerrilla Tactic #1:  If  Writers Write, Do Copywriters COPY? “Yes!”

Believe it or not in the copywriting industry one of the fastest and most reliable ways to write copy is to start your own swipe file.

A swipe file is a collection of copy that has been previously field-tested. I want to be clear – the purpose isn’t to plagiarize other people’s copy. Swipe files are kept to not only inspire you, but they are helpful templates for your own copy. Study them and you’ll soon begin to see formulaic word patterns emerging.

 

What Qualifies As a “Swipe?”

Just as copy is everywhere there are words, swipes are everywhere there is copy. To be sure your swipe file is brimming with GOOD copy here are some places to collect it from:
