Starting Your Own Business ? Hints & Tips Entrepreneurial Advice Suzie's Blogs ...

Marketing Your Business * Free Trials and FREE Services ! Boy, that word " Free " always captures people's attention. Let's talk about free trials today. 12. FREE TRIALS. If your product is too big or expensive to give away outright, why not offer a free trial to qualified customers? Try shipping it out to prospects with no strings at- tached. Most people will appreciate the oppor- tunity to try the product, and hopefully many will like it enough to buy it. 13. FREE SERVICES. If you can't afford to give away products, offering your services as a way of generating new business can also pay off. For example, if you own a retail clothing business, send out a flyer offering customers a free fashion consultation to draw them into the store. Pretty basic ideas but sometimes we just don't think about them do we? Until tomorrow.
