10 Daily Marketing Habits to Grow Your ECA Business
1. Product Photos
Constantly work at improving your photography skills and knowledge - shoppers cannot see your products in person or touch your products and turn them around to view them from all angles.
Your goal should be to beat your competitors who are selling similar products at similar prices, through your beautiful and classy photographs of your products.
2. Make Notes
Make to do lists - about what you need to do, and about what you need to learn more about before you can do it.
3. Communicate With Your Connections
This doesn't have to be daily, unless you're communicating with a different batch of connections each day, but you can still spend time each day making notes about what you'd like to tell your connections the next time that you do contact them.
Make your communications about tips for marketing your products, and emphasize the reasons why marketing your products will be good for your connections.
4. Be Quick With Replies
Respond to emails from your connections as soon as possible. They may be asking about how they can market your products.
5. Practice Being Generous
Go out of your way to help your connections market your products.
Email your connections large photos of your products that they can print out and display in their car window or elsewhere. Provide them with lists of places they can advertise online. Even provide step-by-step instructions on how to advertise on those sites. Go even one step further and write content for the ads yourself, and provide this content to your connections for their use.
6. Look For New Places to Advertise
Constantly update lists that you keep. Include dates of when you added those new places, and dates of when you sent updated lists to your connections, and who you sent them to.
7. Write
Work on content that you can add to your website or blog. Add a new article or blog post several times a month.
Work on content that you can add when you add your new products to TripleClicks.
8. Market Your Website or Blog
Look for blogs on similar topics, that allow comments. When you fill in your name, also fill in your website address. Write nice comments that relate to the post or article on that page, so that your comment (and your link to your site!) will be accepted.
Write about your products on social sites. Include the link to the page on your site that has the article or blog post about those specific products.
Learn about SEO and how to use it.
9. Be Professional
Always be professional, especially with the look of your site, photographs of your products, and with writing. Check grammar, spelling, and formatting.
10. Increase Your Knowledge
Spend at least a little time each day reading and learning - about marketing, and about how others market successfully. Visit sites that offer marketing services and read about what they do. Visit the sites of successful bloggers and read about what they do.
Visit the marketing pages, training pages. advertising/marketing category of Ask SC, and the marketing category in the forum on SFI. Many of the SFI marketing methods can be used for marketing other things too, like your TripleClicks products.
