Learn the Secret of Low Cost Advertising for Your Horse Business
As a ezine publisher I have discovered several methods to
target"The Horse Industry" market. Through trial and error this
is what I have come up with. It worked for me and I know it will
work for you too! Ezines or newsletters are simply- electronic
newsletters delivered by email. Chances are you've subscribed to
a ton of them yourself. They're quick info blasts usually
containing articles or some other relevant information
pertaining to the subject of the email. For instance, if you're
interested in homeopathic remedies you might subscribe yourself
to a Homeopathy ezine or a free newsletter offered by one of the
thousands of Homeopathy sites online.
Ezines purpose is? For the reader, it gives them information
relevant to their interests. In our case that would be The Horse
Industry. For the company, it builds an opt-in base of potential
customers who are interested in what they have to say. Ezines or
newsletters are a great way to get the word out about your
interests, business or products which you want to share or sell
with others.. Why are they so great? Because they went out of
their own way to subscribe themselves to a particular ezine.
They actually eagerly await each issue. Now imagine what they
could mean if they saw your message or advertisement. So here's
what I did...and you can do it too! First I compiled a list of
ways I could advertise in a particular ezine. Methods such as: -
Placing a classified or sponsorship ad in a newsletter: I
discovered many ways to advertise (Free in some cases) or very
inexpensively in others using text ads in relevant ezines. This
was the perfect way to reach my targeted audience and test my
ads to see how good each one pulled in potential customers,
without spending a fortune. - Promoting using solo
advertisements This, by far, has to be the best paid advertising
I have ever done. I found that a lot of my targeted customers
were subscribed to ezines that would allow me to run a full-page
sponsorship advertisement introducing my own products. My
response was phenomenal. I could get as many as 700 or more
unique or targeted visitors and at least 15-20 orders a visit
with some of the bigger lists. If I sold a $40 product and the
ad cost me $100, I made at least $400 each time. What's more,
once I used the ad and got such a tremendous response I knew the
ad was a winner and I could use it over and over. - Ad swaps:
This is a great way if you are on a tight budget. I simply wrote
to several ezine publishers and requested an ad swap, my ad for
their ad. This was terrific and I received a great response. Who
wouldn't want free advertising with their targeted audience!
This way I could reach allot more potential targeted customers
and it is totally FREE advertising. Michele Anderson Publisher/
