What One Thing Can You Do in April That Will Attract Ideal New Clients For The Next 3-5 Years
What One Thing Can You Do in April That Will Attract Ideal New Clients For The Next 3-5 Years
3-5 years?
I'm a big believer in marketing strategies that you create once, and then use over and over
again for many years.
In other words its a How to Guide that is targeted at ideal clients for your business.
Back in the 1990's I had a client called Grant whose business relocated homes.
This meant they physically moved an entire house from one location and delivered it to another
location.
The fee for relocating a home was between $20,000 and $100,000 depending on how
complicated the job was.
Grant already had the number one home relocation business in his area.
I advised Grant to create a 'Targeted How To Guide' to attract ideal new clients to his business.
I told him to put in the guide some helpful tips that potential clients would find useful if they
wanted to relocate their own home.
Grant called his how to guide 'The 11 Secrets to Relocating Your Home'.
His guide was around 20 pages long and talked about the steps you needed to take to relocate
a home.
It covered some of the common mistakes that people make when relocating a home.
The guide was in plain English and was very easy to read.
It also contained a number of great testimonials from clients who had already used Grant's
home relocation service and loved it.
Grant took around 10 hours to write his targeted how to guide.
He used my directions and spent around 45 minutes a day writing over a two week period.
He just wrote down the things he would normally tell potential clients if they were thinking of
relocating their home.
He then made his how to guide look presentable and saved it on his computer.
I then showed Grant how to promote his targeted how to guide to attract ideal clients.
And he also promoted his guide in small display ads in the local newspaper.
The first time Grant ran an ad promoting his home relocation guide in the local newspaper it
cost him $500.
This first advertisement produced 29 requests for his home relocation guide.
Grant just printed copies of his how to guide off his computer.
He then spiral bound each guide and mailed them out in hard copy format to everyone who had
ordered it.
He followed up with every person who had ordered his how to guide.
And over the next 8 years, this one 'targeted how to guide' produced 8 million dollars in paid
sales for Grants business.
So Grant invested some time and effort once to create his targeted how to guide.
He then used it over and over again for many years to attract ideal clients.
Then use this targeted how to guide over and over again for the next 3-5 years to attract ideal
new clients.
I'm a huge fan of using a Targeted How To Guide to attract ideal new clients.
Over a 10 year period I created over 117 targeted how to guides for a wide range of clients.
I also created dozens of targeted how to guides for my own business as well.
