How are you going about marketing your products and services? Are you copycatting your competitors’ ads, or are you creating them yourself? Have you played customer to see what your competitors are doing to sell more of their products to you? If not, then you will want to start doing those things today.
To make more money in your business, you have to stay on top of marketplace. This way you won’t be surprised by the sweeping changes that occur in your industry. To stay on top of the marketplace, you will want to subscribe to some of your trade journals magazines, and you will also want to subscribe to a marketing magazine. A good one is the “Direct Marketing Association” (DMA).
This way you’ll be on top of the marketplace in 2 ways. The first way is by seeing what the latest issues are in your niche, and the second way is to stay on top of the marketing arena so that you can know what has changed in the world over marketing your products and services.
