4 Tips To Make Your Adverts Work.
1. Advertise your website, not your services or products.
If the purpose of your advert is to attract visitors to your website then advertise your website, not your services or products.
Your website should do your selling so don’t make the mistake of making your advertising a mini version of your website.
Traffic is the lifeblood of your website, without traffic your site is dead.
If no-one sees it, it might just as well not exist. So in all your advertising, promote your website.
So remember the rule “Advertise Your Website, Not Your Services or Products.“
2. Attract more visitors. Include a wide range of keywords and key phrases in your adverts.
As well as the keywords you use for your own business, think wider and include key words and phrases people might use when they aren’t specifically looking for you.
For example, if you provide accommodation, include words for nearby attractions and activities. People searching for scuba diving, whitewater rafting, skydiving, sailing, etc. will often need somewhere to stay and with those kind of keywords in your adverts, people will find you.
3. Be friendly, helpful and approachable.
Make it easy for people to get in touch with you. Many adverts fail because they’re not user friendly, and aren’t designed to make life easy. Always include your name and contact details in your advert.
if you send emails to your prospects and customers, keep them short and to the point as more and more people are reading their emails on mobile devices, and make sure your contact details easy to find.
4. Use Social Media to promote your business – it’s free.
Always include links to your social media sites Facebook, Twitter and Linkedin in your advertising and emails. These three cover the widest range of prospects
Limit it to three. More than three could look like your spamming.
And don’t forget your Blog. Treat it like another website, which it is.
Promote your Blog in the same way you advertise your website. Then use your Blog to promote your business website.
One more tip …
If your advertising isn’t working, stop doing it. Do something else.
You run your business to make money. The most important thing you must do is decide where and how to advertise to get the best value for your money.

How To Bargain Fairly
Bargaining is a two way process and it’s important that both sides feel they have done well from the bargain.
Don’t try to screw every penny out of the deal. A dollar to you is trivial but is more important to the seller. Accept that they will try to rip you off but that’s part of the game. If you don’t want to play the game, just walk away, or better still, avoid the place altogether.
Never make the first offer, always get the seller to state their price first.
Don’t buy the first time round. Shop around to get an idea of the going prices. It will send a message to the seller that you might buy from someone else, and it will make your bargaining easier.
To get the best price just walk away. Tell the seller you like it but it’s too expensive. You’ll find the price goes down more the nearer you are to leaving. The seller needs to sell more than you need to buy.
And remember it’s their way of life and they have to make a living. So join in and enjoy yourself. You can always walk away.
Please share this and keep everyone happy 🙂
