Is Network Marketing Advertising Necessary?

By Steven Suchar


Network marketing advertising costs money yes, but how else are you going to get a business network going, or promote a product without it? Lots of network marketers fail to grasp this at the start and miss many opportunities to make a major income. Advertising is an investment and the way of advertising should be chosen cleverly and monitored for efficacy frequently. It is simple to lose plenty of money with ineffective advertising.

Just like any bricks and mortar business, network marketing advertising is essential to success, and on the web it is tricky to make the correct choice, knowing that there are countless millions of websites, uncountable billions of ads for products and, unless you have a product that is totally unique, lots of competition with more money than you.

First you should work out your budget, evaluate how much can you afford on a monthly basis, and then if your target advertising brings success and increased profits, the budget can always be increased later on.

If you're new to network marketing and have a little budget, there are many techniques of advertising for free online, some of these are absolutely pointless and others may bring you good results, when you find that a technique you are using doesn't bring results, drop it and go on. Advertising in the wrong places may actually hurt your business.

These are the results you will be searching for from your network marketing advertising.

1. Gathering leads

2. Promoting your product or service

3. Branding yourself

4. Soliciting sales

The very best free advertising is of course word of mouth, so generating excitement about your service depends on you. Blogs, forums and social networking sites are fantastic places for gaining exposure for your company but though that method is free, it has got to be done rigorously and consistently.

Don't expect to go on Twitter and make one or two posts asserting your brand is the best, because you will be ignored. Neither should you post on Twitter every minute or two , you need to put up a following before even mentioning what you are offering. You would not do it at a cocktail party, so do not do it on social media sites, blogs or forums either. Just like a party where just about everyone seems to be a stranger to you, you should build relationships and trust before you try and pitch your product.

You can also have to depend on others to offer you referrals, and again, this comes thru social interaction, both offline and online. It's crucial you grow a relationship with that person first. Leads are valuable, and no one is going to reach in his pocket if he doesn't know anything about you.

Direct mail campaigns are just about old hat these days, but still work best if you're a local bricks and mortar business or service, then direct mail is extremely effective. What lots of small business owners do not understand though, is list building , a lot of information can be gathered from direct mailing, although it has got a very poor response figure and is costly.

Still, if you can get people to return a card, or leave an email address when they come into your shop, you can make a list and use that list for future email marketing campaigns, and if you give folk an inducement to join up like offering a free drink with a pizza for instance, you'll be astonished how many people will give their email addresses and you can reward them with vouchers and special offers in future campaigns.

However you start your network marketing advertising campaign it's best to comprehend the whole idea of network marketing first. There's a lot of psychology in selling and if you do not know the fundamentals of network marketing, perhaps you should discover more about it.
