The "Fun" Method to Learn Direct Response Marketing

Funny stuff... funny stuff...

Last night, my wife and I were out at our local brew-pub getting our burger and beer fix. When out of the blue my spouse started to laugh. I thought she was poking fun at me.

Did I've something wedged during my teeth?

Was a fry stuck to my cheek?

Turns out neither.

So when I asked my wife why she was chuckling, she told me she felt embarrassed telling me.

Embarrassed?

I said:

"Honey, we are able to discuss anything. You can feel at ease telling me what's in your thoughts. And that i promise to not judge you..."

So she caved, and explained she was excited The american idol show was starting a new season.

American Idol?

I really didn't know this Television show was ramping support.

So...

We finished our burgers and beer. We paid our waiter. And my wife drug me home to catch the very first episode. Good thing too... because this show is bursting just like a water balloon with a lot of direct response marketing tips.

Like:

The power of celebrity marketing:

Just look at the judges on The american idol show. Let's see. You got Steven Tyler that has been the leading man for just one of the very successful hard rock bands of all time. Then, you got Jennifer Lopez who needs no explanation. And finally, you got Randy Jackson that has worked in the music biz since the dawn from the dinosaurs.

My point?

That Idol certainly uses lots of celebrities to promote the show.

The power of contest marketing:

Contests are one of the fastest (and most fun) ways to grow a small business. Just take a look at Idol. Sure, the best goal is to win and be a famous recording artist. But what really gets contestants going may be the whole idea that they're competing against everybody else.

And also the power of referral marketing:

Honestly, one thing Used to do to build my small business therefore it dominated a really competitive niche is... I made use of multiple strategies that drove referrals through my doors all month long

In my humble opinion, you have to be careful where you look for good ideas because almost everyone and their brother states be considered a so-called 'business expert'.

Remember:

Saying is one thing.

Doing is another.
