MenuWhat is a good strategy to find new customers, either B2B or final customers?
We need a strategy to find new customers, either B2B or final customers. We are a creative studio with a focus on game-based content.
Answers
Find organizations that are already sponsoring or buying gamification for their online marketing, and approach them.
If you make gaming apps, look at who is already promoting their products or services through similar means.
You have a common issue here which is this: for most prospects, you'll have to make TWO sales. I dislike this situation and avoid it whenever I can. First, you must sell them on the *idea* of your solution ("This game will help you increase customer involvement and retention, and convert into more sales".) Second, you must sell them on the idea of *you* as the solution provider.
I look for situations where there is only the one sale to be made: you as the solution provider. If you have to sell them on the original idea, it's too much work.
If they're already using these media to reach their target market, they already know its value. You don't have to sell them on that. You just have to get their attention and assure them that you will get them results.
Just a recommendation for something that might be of interest to you... check out Games for Change. They bring gamification to nonprofits, including partnering with companies like yours to develop apps and games for charities.
Good luck!

Hello... You've come to the right place... I am sure many of us here in Clarity can help you develop a strategy to find new customers. But it is important for us to have more information about your business.
I visited your website and it appears to me you have several niches you are focusing on, so in order to develop a strategy we need to look deeper into who is your perfect client, who have you served before in each one of the services you have. It is not the same to go after a trainer or a corporation who is looking to use games as a resource for training as it is to go find people who need a website or an app.
Also are you trying to acquire customer via online or you can go face to face...
Anyway if you would like to give more information or to talk directly send me a message and I'll be glad to be of assistance, I'll give you my link for a free call so you can provide more details.
Have a great day!
1. You can try to work with mobile companies (Huawei, Samsung etc) which can preload your content to their smartphones.
2. You can work with telcos to push your contents and negotiate your revenue split with them.
Based on your question - it seems like you really are looking for (at least) two different strategies.
Why?
You have two different target markets: B2B & final (end) users.
It would seem foolish to try to go after them within a single strategy, seeing as they are really not related to each other, right?
So - Question 1 that you need to be able to answer:
Are you CREATING games, or providing GAMIFICATION development services? Depending on that answer, it would lead you to your next step...
Which is -> Who is your ideal client or customer? I'm a firm believer of doing one thing EXTREMELY WELL, and once that has been conquered, then moving on to another. So which one of those markets is your sweet spot? What does your ideal client look like, what do they do, what are their motivations?
Once you have figured out those two things, you can then start to develop a growth strategy that will actually be effective.
If you don't know, or haven't gone through the exercise of identifying your ideal market/client, and really understand both SWOT (Strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats) and market competitor analysis, then you are not ready to start a campaign - it will just be a waste of time, effort, and, most importantly, capital.
If you want, we can have a chat - either here on clarity, or at www.buildabigidea.com/apply - if you use that link you get me for 45 minutes for free. Just saying :)

I just opened a small, upscale, boutique style hair salon. Any ideas on how to market?
I have no experience with salons, but marketing is my thing. So I'll give you some suggestions of what to think about, followed by what to do. Do you have clients already (let's say from your working days at another salon)? If so, you can start profiling them. You can ask them to fill out a form in exchange for a free gift (maybe one of those creams you use in the salon), or an entry to a raffle (where the prize is valuable). In the profiling, you want to look out for which neighborhoods they live in, what kinds of activities they like to do, what kinds of social events they love to do, and their occupations. Then, using each of those profile data, you can market to more prospects who share the same characteristics. For example, - You can set aside a budget to send flyers to specific neighborhoods. In order to get people into the door, maybe you can offer a certain procedure for free in exchange for opportunities to win new regular customers. (You could theoretically do this with Groupon too, but you have less control of who comes into your door) - You could set up joint venture relationships with organizations like ball room dancing schools, professional associations, etc. You could offer an exclusive discount with those groups to entice potential customers to try out your service. More opportunities for you to win regular customers. - With certain demographic data, you can probably make the same offer by advertising on Facebook. If you target specific enough, you can get the price of acquiring the lead to be pretty cheap. You would have to figure out your typical lifetime value of your customers before deciding whether advertising on Facebook would be worthwhile. One last thing, you can offer gifts for your existing customers if they refer you people. If you have any more questions, I'm happy to chat with you. Hit me up on this platform.SL

What are average profit margins in Ice Cream store business?
Hi! I am owner of an ice crean chain with 45 stores in Chile. We have stores in shopping centers, streets and also karts that you can put in events and parks. The average cost margin of ice cream (depends on the amount of materials you use in producing the ice cream) is around 40%. This is italian gelatto where you serve the ice cream without a specific measurement so your costs can vary due to the size of each portion you serve. About the brand you should focus on your unique value proposition and what kind of ice cream you are selling. We import the pastry from Italy and the fruits and milk from our country. Your ROI depends on your sales price and costs. If you focus on high market ice cream you can charge high and keep costs down.MF

How to promote a paid iOS app to increase downloads ?
Your best bet to get traction quickly in USA is to advertise on mobile ad networks. You may need to advertise on CPM/CPC basis instead of CPI if you have a paid app so make sure you understand your user lifetime value and watch conversion rates closely so you don't overspend. That said, depending on what your niche/vertical is, there are many other ways to market non-gaming apps.SR

How do you get your first customers for a consulting business?
Back when I started LinkedIn wasn't as huge as it is now. I wish it was. I didn't have a large network and those networking sessions NEVER brought me any clients. I used to go to all sorts of them hoping to get clients. There were a couple of nibbles here and there, but never anything serious. The only thing that helped was reaching out DIRECTLY to people in my target market. That meant cold calls and cold emails. I'd sell myself while thinking about their needs. Once I got a few bites I'd build good rapport by keeping in touch, asking questions, repeating back what they were saying so that they knew I was on the same page and kept my promises. If I said I'd call them back next Tuesday at 2:15 I'd do so. Eventually I built trust with them without having a network, or an insane amount of experience. Oh and the most important thing about consulting is to LISTEN. When those first clients notice that you're truly listening and you're not selling the cookie cutter solutions everyone else is trying to sell them that's when you got them hooked. You start to understand their problems, fears, and see through their eyes and not just yours. A network will help, but in the beginning just good 'ol salesmanship will get the ball rolling.JC

Need a good lead generation strategy for chiropractors for getting new patients. Ideas?
I think Facebook is great for really targeting your audience and you’re on the right track. But I think you can have a better funnel than that. I find, for getting better conversion today, it is better to get your Facebook traffic off of Facebook as fast as you can to your offer and into your funnel. It is more effective for driving actual sales. If you’re just looking for social branding etc. then your funnel might be ok. A very effect strategy is to create either a video or report that you give away to your audience in exchange for an email. It should be something that helps solve or bring to light the problems patients are suffering from and how to go about solving them. Then mention how having a great Chiropractor can solve all of that and can be the most effective way to get ride of the pain. I would also have some things in there that would help them in other ways. Then I would send them to an event or webinar with your top Chiropractor and you in an interview / reveal-all type webinar to educate your lead and manage their fears of going to a Chiropractor. You could tell them that the first step is making an appointment for an assessment. You should make it easy for them to find the best and most effective Chiropractor in their area. You might have a discount on the assessment only available to them for being on the webinar to get them to sign up at the end of the webinar. By the way, once this is recorded, you can make this evergreen so you don't have to do a webinar all the time. As long as you are reaching more and new people with your Facebook campaign you won’t have to change the video all the time. Once you have people signed up to make an appointment, make sure they are also putting a deposit of a 100 dollars or something down. This will increase your show rate for the Chiropractors. Then give them a voucher for that Chiropractor, for more than you’re asking for at the deposit for services, to use with that Chiropractor. Allowing you to prevent cancelations etc. so that their getting their money back in the form of a voucher for services which, by the way, is not a discount and shouldn’t diminishing your Chiropractors Rates. This strategy I have used in several markets that has produced more prequalified leads and patients / customers. Remember to test, track and know your metrics. You’re going to need to make some tweaks in the beginning, but this can be very effective for you. So to recap: 1. Setup a landing page with your offer in exchange for an offer. You can build this in software like Leadpages.net or Megaphoneapp.com 2. Make your offer downloadable if an ebook or white paper or present your video after. I recommend using Wistia instead of YouTube for playback as you will be able to have heat maps of your video to know where your fall off points are. You can also make this page with the software mentioned above. 3. Use an email autoresponder to engage your lead and email them about the event you’re doing after they had time to read or download your materials. Or, if a video, I would just pitch them at the end with a link below the video to automatically register. 4. Put on a webinar with your guest using either GoToWebinar or Google hangouts if you know how to set that up. 5. Make sure you have your appointment getting page with your the down payment created. You can use several different type of scheduling services so you can automatically deliver the lead/ appointment to the chiropractor. To Note: The reason I don’t send the visitor to the webinar first is because it is better to get the visitor predisposed to your information before asking them to commit to a webinar and when you do it the way I played out, you will have a much better show rate. This is it in a nutshell. Obviously there is more to it. If you need another funnel idea I am hear to help. I have used other effective strategies in the past to also make money on the front end to make your advertising free. It just depends on what you want to do and how advanced you want to get. Hope this helps give you some ideas. :) If you need help implementing something like this just let me know.MH
