    The Antidote
    We - modern America that is - have become so damn impolite. We don’t give people the simple courtesy of a reply when contacted by email or phone.

    Questionable Practices and Greed in Incentivized Marketing
    Incentivized marketing refers to the practice of creating forced leads by offering incentives to visitors to sign up to third party offers. The variety of sites applying this principle grows daily. It all started not so long ago with condoms, t-shirts, trinkets… Today, offerings are much larger and more appealing, ranging from the over represente
    Once upon a time a company introduced a new product. They didn’t want their competition to know, so they didn’t advertise or even send out a news release. Sales of the new product were disappointing. The manufacturer was unhappy. What went wrong? Any thoughts?

    My answer is that this kind of “stealth marketing” doesn’t work. You need to be visible to sell something. When this manufacturer started promoting their new product, sales picked up.

    So visibility is good for business. But how do you get visible with limited resources? Here are some programs I recommend.

    1) Postcard marketing - Use postcards to ask for referrals, announce events, build website traffic, say thanks, and more. Of course, for best results you need a good list.

    2) News release program - Does your company bring new products or services to market? Publish literature? These are great subjects for news releases. Send releases to editors at relevant publications regularly to get more than your fair share of coverage. Public relations activities like this are time-intensive, but cost much less than advertising.

If you need to reach young adults, teens or business people, the Internet is where you need to be. E-mail marketing can be a good tool, too, but be sure to get the recipient’s permission.
