How Giveaways brings New Customers and Leads to You

This is Day #3 of my Thirty Challenge of my blog challenge and decided to write about something that i want to share with you , and that i have done to help bring new clients to my business and that is Giveaways. Now this is not nothing new, but many people are not taking advantage of a super easy, cost effective way to bring people to your business, website, page, or blog. I want you to watch this video on How giveaways benefit yourself and your potential customers at getting the word out.
I am using this strategy right now with a National Ad I am running in several Making Money Education” href=”http://www.SimpleInstantCashFlow.com”> Making Money and Income Opportunity Magazines where I give away a tangible booklet 100% Free to Customers, all they do is send out a Self Addressed Stamped Envelope with 4 stamps on it and they get the book called Mechanics of Wealth. Now what this booklet does is give good information on How to have the right mindset to reach your goals and ways to inspire others. This will also lead into another offer if they want a Monthly Package and further education by paying additional money. With this type of campaign, you are building leads and people into your business by giving something a value , a tangable product for FREE that they can hold in their hands and get a feeling for it. This will cost you some money to get started if you wanted to do something simliar for your business, whether its a TShirt, DVD, CDS, Booklet, etc but i will tell you the type of prospect or customer you get will be more inclined to give you their business and become a paying customer by doing something as simple as giving away a Book, tshirt, bag etc and at the same time if they pass it to friends, family, etc, your website, your business is going viral real quick.
If you watched the video, I want to give you this cool ebook that was given to me, 100% Free on How to Get 1000s of affliates to promote your product, just watch the video and see how to get your free copy, This doesn’t require you to opt in or doing anything of the sort, i just found the book to have great information on Getting more paying customers to your business. With affliate marketing , and trying to generate income off your writing, content, or product by partnering up with Great Affliate Marketers that can promote and are successful and giving them a cut based off the product price, Let say your Ebook sells for $47, If you give affliates let say $25 and you Keep $22. you are still making profit but getting the word out faster and more people promoting for you. Or you can do this trick which i learned frommarketing myth”> Russell Brunson , Pay $1. for every email address and ebook that your affliate gives away and have others help build your list, again having good affliates promoting your content and stuff will pay off huge dividends in getting massive exposure to your brand and your business. Many affliates are clever and know where to get traffic and if you have a great affliate program as an incentive , it will help attract new customers, leads and sales to your business.

Hi Chris!
Thanks for inviting me back to your Blog…it’s always nice seeing you.
Do you offer any step-by-step instructions as to the mechanics of putting together a giveaway? I’ve had various people throw in a bonus with materials/info I have purchased in the past, BUT they didn’t show me how to assemble it so it is ‘giveawayable’!! lol
Keep up your fantastic work…your tribal friend Steven Suchar

Hi Steven, thanks for stopping by and the comment, There is tons of stuff you can give away that gives value and have it direct and brand you, the easiest way to do it is to find something that is within your niche , tie it into what you are doing, and simply give it away. I will email you the giveaway i Mention in my Video so you can see exactly how it will benefit you. Have an Awesome Day!

Chris,
You are the best. Great tip and fun idea to mix it up with some giveaways. I’d be curious what you needed up front for a typical give away. I have some ideas but I need to do some research to see what all my costs would be.

Hi Faith, real depends on what type of giveaway you do, example my booklet i send out cost me $.60 a piece to produce and then the advertising for it in Magazines. I don’t have to pay for shipping because people send me Self Addressed Stamp Envelopes along with 4 stamps but if you have samples of products, a booklet / Audio CD on Mindset , etc., You can incorporate that in and do it free of charge just pay shipping and handling or eat those cost yourself to get more people in.
Thanks for comment and any help you need let me know.

Hey Chris,
Wow, day #3 is great. Giveaways are a perfect way to get new customers.
When you give out referrals or giveaways, then eventually you get that back. It’s the law of reaping and sowing.
How can you go wrong!
Have a great day,
