Sales Promotional Items Page with Resources and More

Voting Question: What is this sales technique called?

You are given a promotional offer to get an item for free, or at a drastically low low rate. As you continue the process of obtaining the item, such as a "Continue to the next page" button on a website, you are asked to enter your personal information (Name, address, email, perhaps even payment information) in order to obtain this FREE (or discounted) item. Over the process of continuing on step after step, you find that you are actually paying equivalent or more than the market price, or else you are obligated to sign up for additional promotional offers by other business partners. Since you are making small commitments gradually over the process of signing up, the overall larger commitment to buy seems to you as such an easy decision that you do not think about it but continue on to take part in the offer/program. Commitment has essentially become a habit. Does this sales technique have a name, and if so what is it?I would like to add that this sales technique is described in chapter seven of "The Power of Persuasion" by Robert Levine. It is referred to as "Gradually Escalating the Commitments" or "Making you say Yes by Never Saying No." I was hoping that someone had a better term for it. I do not believe this is a bait and switch technique because b&s is an illegal scam where the product sold is different than the product delivered to the customer. more

Resolved Question: Where to find video game display posters and boxes and standees?

Hi, I have an unusual question to ask. I'm highly interested in the collecting of promotional video game displays(an over sized box display, a poster, cardboard stand ups, or a sculpture) etc. I tried going to video games stores like eb games or gamestop, but they will not save them and they just throw them away. Rather than degrade myself to ask when the boxes get tossed in the garbage, i thought there must be a place that sells these. So i turn to the internet and ask, where can i find such items for sale? more

Resolved Question: Help on my landscaping and construction business plan i need answers under each topic please help asap.?

Promotion How will you get the word out to customers? Advertising: What media, why, and how often? Why this mix and not some other? Have you identified low-cost methods to get the most out of your promotional budget? Will you use methods other than paid advertising, such as trade shows, catalogs, dealer incentives, word of mouth (how will you stimulate it?), and network of friends or professionals? Should you have a system to identify repeat customers and then systematically contact them? How much will you spend on the items listed above? Where will this money come from? Image What image do you want to project? How do you want customers to see you? What plans do you have for graphic image support? This includes things like logo design, cards and letterhead, brochures, signage, and interior design (if customers come to your place of business). Pricing Explain your method or methods of setting prices. Compare your prices with those of the competition. Are they higher, lower, the same? Why? For most small businesses, having the lowest price might take away from profit margin; large competitors can under price you anyway. Will you have average prices and compete on quality and service? Does your pricing strategy fit with what was revealed in your competitive analysis? How important is price as a competitive factor? Do your intended customers really make their purchase decisions mostly on price? Proposed Location Is your location important to your customers? If yes, how? If customers come to your place of business: Is it convenient? Parking? Interior spaces? Not out of the way? Is it consistent with your image? Is it what customers want and expect? Where is the competition located? Is it better for you to be near them (like car dealers or fast food restaurants) or distant (like convenience food stores)? What qualities do you need in a location? Describe the type of location you’ll have. Physical requirements: • Amount of space • Type of building • Zoning • Power and other utilities Access: Is it important that your location be convenient to transportation or to suppliers? Do you need easy walk-in access? What are your requirements for parking and proximity to freeway, airports, railroads, and shipping centers? Include a drawing or layout of your proposed facility if it is important, as it might be for a manufacturer. Construction? Most new companies should not sink capital into construction, but if you are planning to build, costs and specifications will be a big part of your plan. Cost: Estimate your occupation expenses, including rent, but also including maintenance, utilities, insurance, and initial remodeling costs to make the space suit your needs. What will be your business hours? Distribution Channels How do you sell your products or services? • Retail • Direct (mail order, Web, catalog) • Wholesale • Your own sales force • Agents • Independent representatives • Bid on contracts ......I need answers for these in your opinion for a business plan for a landscaping and construction company please help more

Resolved Question: Store selling sample bags marked 'Free Sample'?

I bought a couple small bags of dog food at Pet Valu the other day but when I got home I realised that the bags were labeled 'Free Sample'. Now, it is my understanding that a retailer cannot sell free samples or promotional material. Nor can they sell products at a higher price if the manufacturer specifically labeled it as a certain price. ei. books at bookstores. I know I've seen small corner stores selling individual items clearly not for individual sale, but I never expected it from a chain store such as Pet Value. Should I return with the packaging and my receipt demand a refund?C: You're joking right?Well, I suggest we all run down to our local Pet Valu and each grab these free samples! more

Resolved Question: Retail law in North America - Is there a price guarentee on sale items?

Is there legislation in North America (USA and Canada) for a 30 day price guarantee, that guarantees a purchaser if there is a price change of their product then the customer who have purchased their product within last 30 days becomes entitled to the lower price. (this applies also to "special sales"or "promotional sales" products or services.

How would people make money with such legislation! No one would have sales, lol more

Resolved Question: Advertising/Promo Job Opening?

I am currently a distributor of Advertising/Promotional Advertising Items. If you have basic skills in computer artwork, you'll find it quite easy. Best part is you can work your own hours. Honestly it is hard work, doing sales, prepping artwork, submtting orders. But that's it... you submit the order and the factory takes it from there. You make a commission off everything you sell. This is not some dumb scam. This is a real business, with real work, gaining real experience, making a better money for yourself. I'll tell you up front, you probably will NOT get rich! Anyway if you enjoy working with company logos and challanges in the advertising field let me know I'll help you get started, it is easy and under 100.00 (one time fee) this covers all your sales materials and LOTS of sample products. more
