Question
I have an idea for selling advertising (print) to business owners.
Problem: No idea who buys ads and who doesn't, profit skyrockets when the sale is $8,000 and above but is negligible with sales of $1,000 and below. I have no intentions of trying to setup some app or online site to coordinate sales as this leads to copycats very quickly.
Opportunity: With co-op mailing, I can get businesses to advertise for less yet reach the same number of people. There is no "expertise" needed whatsoever as anyone with capital can buy advertising and resell it.
Answer
What I've suggested in the past that worked really well, is to pick an open minded business to advertise for... use your advertising genius to send them customers, as long as the customers when they go into the business say - (X Sent me) - then when you know you've sent them a good deal of customers.. call them up and say did you notice all the customers that said X sent me... Well we do this to prove that what we do works... In order for us to continue this campaign it will cost you (X) the price should be 1/3 of the potential profit that those customers would bring to the establishment within a 6month period of time.. So now you've proven you service works.. All you have to do is turn off the taps if they say no. Rinse and repeat until you find someone that says yes.. which we find that we usually get about 85 to 90% conversion on a strategy like this... No convincing, no haggling, no price negotiation - Here is what it does with proof.. Here is what it costs... 1/3 of the profit. Let's do it.. Yes or no? :) Hope that helps!
