MenuCan someone here help me how to do some target marketing ....
I sell a very convenient new bathroom 🚽 product that is geared toward commercial public bathrooms like schools malls gyms or any public bathroom..... I would like to know if anyone can teach me how to target advertise to them in a way that they will respond and this will convert into sales. Or do you think I will have to go around in person marketing to each venue.

Here’s what you could do using Linkedin:
1. Find and create a list of target prospects: There are 550 million LinkedIn users. With LinkedIn Sales Navigator, you can create a list of target people who *fit the right criteria* of prospects that might buy your bathroom product.
You can filter by GEOGRAPHY (e.g. country, state, etc), INDUSTRY (e.g. Hospital & Healthcare, Health, Wellness & Fitness), JOB TITLE (e.g. Director of Facilities, Head of Janitorial Services, Chief Procurement Officer, etc).
In seconds, you could have an immediate overview of all the people you could possibly sell your bathroom product to.
2. Contact and message them: Now that you have you list you can start doing ‘prospecting’ or ‘outreach’. You can use LinkedIn to directly message these people and tell them about your bathroom product.
3. LinkedIn advertising: If you prefer not to spend time contacting people directly, you could instead create LinkedIn adverts that advertise your products that are only shown to the people that you found in Step 1. This will save you the effort of having to manually message hundreds - or thousands - of people (as in Step 2). Instead, you can pay to display adverts instead. This will save you time, however it will cost you more money upfront as you have to ‘pay per click’ or ‘pay per impression’ for your ads.
Am happy to talk further about all the ways you could use Linkedin to do some target marketing. Book a call if you’d like more advice! :)
Hi, Ravi here. I’ve run a successful sales and marketing organization. I would do some secondary research and build a database of the intended target market. Once you compile this list (which should include an email), you could either call first and follow up with an email or vice versa but in communicating to the potential customer, start of with what benefit you will bring to their establishment (eg I have a product that could reduce your maintenance overhead costs by 20%). Building your scripts to suit the different clients is critical. Once you get communication going, assess what you need to do to further push the client to close (site visit, free sample) but remember that for every touchpoint with the client, always push towards a commitment (eg Client responds they may be interested, but not now. You need to ask when can I call you back. Leaving the conversation open ended will result in you not getting closer to landing a deal). It’s important to build content simultaneously, so if you have a social media page or YouTube channel, include that in your communication so it could help you sell your product. Some work is needed but building a rapport or relationship is key and then go in assertively when you get an interest.
Hope this helps, I am available to discuss further
It's all about the return on investment or time spent. Maybe meeting face to face buyers is more effective than participating to an industry show or magazine where you could present your product.
Have your tried to measure that?

Hi.
Decide based upon your business plan. What is your sales target for say next two years. What are the gaps. What is the best way and best product market fit to meet that gap.
Assess how many additional customers, opportunities and prospects you need, and which market.
Then get into marketing.
If your run rate will get you the number then focus on existing and visible potential customers. If your capacity to follow up is x then generate x amount of leads.
All the best.
Let your prospects identify themselves!
1. Write an interesting information product (10 ways your product helps public bathrooms), shoot a video where you demonstrate how it works, host a webinar.
2. Tease your information product in a campaign (could be on Linkedin as mentioned, or on some trade website) and target your campaign as well as you can.
3. Send prospects to a landing page (on f.ex. Mailchimp or similar), where they register with email-adress and other relevant information.
4. Share your information-product after registration, and follow-up with interesting content.
This should deliver a pipeline of leads to you, that allows you to sell your product to people, who already know about it.
Good luck with it - and set up a call if you want to talk more.
Best regards
Kenneth Wolstrup

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 did Snapchat boast a solid user base within a short period of time, compared to Facebook and Twitter?
I've been in the picture messaging space for a while now with my apps Lutebox (voted one of London's top ten most loved apps) and now Click Messenger. I've written a few articles about the space including a recent post about the Future of Mobile Messaging. Snapchat started out as an app called Picaboo, which pretty much did what it does now (prior to the latest update with chat and video calling). They quickly rebranded but saw a little uptake in user numbers and had quite low downloads for several months. Then around Christmas 2011 one of the founders' mom had told her friend about the app, who told her kid and her kid basically then spread the word throughout their high school in L.A. That was what really blew up their download numbers as it spread across teenagers at local high schools. As far as I know they didn't advertise in the early days, relied solely on word of mouth. Also it is assumed that they have a solid user base. Comparatively speaking, their user base may be in the low tens of millions, which may a great base of users, but nowhere even close to being as big as Facebook or Twitter. I'd be happy to speak about this in more detail or about the picture messaging landscape and what I believe to be the future of mobile messaging.AA

What is the best timing in the new year to launch business marketing?
Hi there! In few words, the launch date does not matter a lot as long as you are following with a continuous marketing plan all the year. It is better to tune your lunch date according to your marketing campaign than connecting it to the seasonal event. The timing of your launch only matters if your website is already ranked or has a good authority associated to it. Launching a website is not like opening a local shop. The launch date is defined by the effectiveness of your marketing campaign. In other words, your question must be rephrased as: "When is the best time to launch my first marketing campaign for my newly created website?". In that case, you will need to describe in details what kind of website you have and how are you planning to market it. I would be able to give you a more accurate answer if you explain to me what kind of website are you planning to launch or what products mainly are you selling. Hope that helps!RZ

What should I do to have my first client on Clarity.fm?
I started on Clarity just by answering questions last summer. I used to love Quora but really disagreed with a number of changes they made and so when Clarity launched answers, I started answering questions. I'm incredibly busy but let's face it: we all have extra time. We spend it looking at our phones, on Facebook, socializing with friends, whatever way each person does it, we all spend time on non mission critical stuff. Because I genuinely enjoy helping others, I treated Quora as a way of relaxing the same way others would read news sites or blogs. And so I switched all that time to Clarity by answering questions. I don't recall the exact specifics but by providing real answers (not just, "call me, I can help you), I had my first call request within about a month of my first answer. And I got a nice review. And some more questions answered, and a couple more calls, and a couple more reviews. And from that point, the call volume increased. Simultaneously, I started referring all "can I pick your brain" requests on LinkedIn and email to my Clarity account. And so some calls initiated that way. More reviews. Now, a year later, I have done over 200 calls, with the majority of it inbound from Clarity. Take it from me, if you make the time, and provide genuine help to people, you will get rewarded for it. But like anything in life, if you're not willing to invest the time and resources, you're unlikely to see any return.TW
