Tis The Season for Tax Refunds

Tis The Season for Tax
Refunds.

I guess in a perfectly responsible world, everyone who received a tax refund in
the coming months would safely deposit it in a savings account for
“emergency” purposes. But once we take a little trip back down to reality…
Most people who get their tax refund… will do one thing with it. SPEND IT. This
being the case, and you being a person who offers goods or services to the
consumer – Your number one goal over the next few months needs to focus
on being “Top of Mind” with that consumer. Just having your name in the phone
book or owning a webpage is not enough.

When the consumer wants to make a purchase – 9 out of 10 times they will
make that purchase with whatever business came to their mind first.
Regardless of whether or not it is the cheapest, best or most consumer
friendly business. You may have the best customer service, you may have the
lowest price, you may have the best location. But if you didn’t register in that
consumers mind when they decided to make a purchase. You don’t have a
customer.

So how can you be top of mind with the consumer? There are a few things you
need to be doing, and yes, some of these things will cost money, it doesn’t
have to make you go broke, but don’t expect the masses start investing in your
services, if you don’t think it’s worth investing in yourself first. The old saying
still is and always will be true. You have to spend money to make money. It’s
the simple principle of self investment.

Advertising – This is key. Who, What and Where? There are many outlets for
you to advertise on these days. Some are more effective than others. In my
experience, radio has been, and still is the most effective medium to reach the
most people for the least amount of money. You are looking at pennies per
impression. It is very targeted and connects with the consumer on a very
personal level. Compared to other mediums where it may cost upwards of
$3-$10, even more in some cases per impression, click, or piece of mail. TV
comes in as a very solid medium as well. It is very targeted, and can reach
masses for a very low cost per impression.

The key is knowing who your target customer is, what they want, and where
they are. As an advertising agency, this is our job. We do it day in and day out.
Letting our clients focus on what is most important: Running their business.
Often times, we put together advertising plans for less money than a business
owner could who tried to do it on their own. If you want to grow your sales, and
