Tollgate Deals: Seven Easy To Do Deals That Anyone - Anytime And Anyplace Can Do Now

TollGate deals are everywhere. Some are easy and some are a little more difficult. Everyone needs to start somewhere so go for the lowest hanging fruit.French Polynesia Email List Before you decide to go after a big deal gain some confidence by securing smaller local deals to gain some traction before going after the big fish.

Listed below are seven deals that you can do today. They are fun, easy and very compelling when stacked up against any other form of marketing, especially print ad direct response, which is the favorite of many small business owners. We are going to use direct response but without the huge cost and the 97% throw away factor. Naturally there are two sides to every TollGate deal so we will refer to them as the A and B side.

1. Watch the type of promotions car dealers run and then go out and find a B side they can't say no to. Here is an example of what you could do. Go to a local fitness center and tell them you would like to purchase 250 one month passes for $1 each. Turn around and go to the car dealer and resell the passes for $4 each. The car dealer runs the promotion that gives away the membership with each test drive and the fitness center now has 250 new prospects coming through the doors at a cost of only $1 each. It's then up to the fitness center to convert the prospects but how easy is that when they come walking through the door?

2. Put a local fast food restaurant together with a local video store. Use the A and B side to develop a cross promotional branding opportunity. The fast food restaurant hands out fliers promoting the movies of the video store along with a coupon. The video store hands out a flier with a coupon for a free soft drink, or whatever, with the purchase of some product from the fast food restaurant.

3. Find a small local ISP that needs warm leads but doesn't have a huge budget for advertising. Next go to a local retailer that has a high traffic count in the demographic area that the ISP is targeting and do a cross promotion. The retailer passes out fliers for the first month free while the ISP puts a coupon in their monthly billing for a discount at the retailer.

4. Go to a local estate attorney and secure a deal to promote his estate services by offering a free estate planning seminar. Then go to a local real estate office and ask them to send out a letter from the attorney to the real estate office email list. The attorney then pays a fee to the real estate group for each person that engages the attorney's services after attending the seminar.

5. Structure a deal with a local jeweler. The jeweler has clients that the following business owners would love to have contact with; including wedding gown stores, flower stores, tux rental shops, wedding video producers, limo services, hairdressers, country clubs, restaurants, etc. Have each one of these businesses then make up a $100 coupon that the jewelry store then bundles and gives to all his their customers. All of a sudden it looks like the jeweler is passing out 4100 bills.

6. Go to two non-competing companies who serve the same market. The best example would be the auto market. Go to a tire store and then go to auto repair shop and have them cross promote and even do a quick check of the tires and then when something looks like it needs to be repaired hand out coupons for the other auto care business. Have each company do the same thing for products or services that the other company provides but that they sell or service.

7. Go to a local restaurant and make a deal where they pass out fliers with each bill for another local service. A good bet is that of a hairdresser shop as everyone needs a hairdresser every so often. Then go to the hair dresser and have them pass out fliers with a coupon for a discount at the restaurant. This is a perfect A B deal.

True Internet Marketing Experts Are Humble, You Should Be The Best At It

Ok, the headline of this article/post is supposed to be amusing. I'm not the best at anything except for being me. French Guiana Email List It's natural to put some internet marketing experts on a pedestal because you think they know more than you. If and when you get to a point where you think you have reached that level of success, you cannot rest easy here. Once you get "there" you must keep your humility at the ready, and wear it like a suit. The more you know about something, the more you realize just how much there is you don't know. There are people who have made millions of dollars online and they're still "one of the guys". (I'm not politically correct enough to mangle a cliché of a phrase to please everyone). The reason they remain highly successful is they keep themselves in tune with what the majority of their customers and clients are doing. Do you want to be a millionaire, too? Then do as the millionaires do. As things progress with
