- Is your store successful now, but you want to get to the next level?
- Are you frustrated because you wish you got better results from your advertising efforts?
- Are you frustrated because your business seems to be running you?
- Are you frustrated because you don't have time to even think about marketing, much less know what makes it work or what to do next?
If you answered "YES" to any one or more of those questions, you’ll benefit mightily from the Five Secrets I’ll reveal here and over the next four weeks.
Here we go:
Furniture Marketing Secret #1. Being good at what you do is not good enough. You know you're good at running a store. You know you're good at training your sales people. You know you're good at taking care of your customers. You know you're good at controlling expenses. Your deliveries are top notch. And so on.
You know how to do everything about running your business probably better than I could ever imagine doing even on my best day. Except one thing: getting customers in the door. Unfortunately, everything you know how to do better than I could imagine doing even on my best day, is pretty much worthless if somebody doesn't deliver customers through your doors.
It doesn't matter if you're going a million or less, or 5 or 10 million or more. It doesn't matter if you have one store or 2 or 3 or more. If you do a good job, if you treat your customers right, if you have excellent products and services . . . IF, IF, IF . . . you'll make a lot of money. right? NOT NECESSARILY!
As you are acutely aware, today's furniture world is intensely competitive. Just look at the web sites of stores in your town. Everybody is selling essentially the same things. National chains. Big Box stores. On line marketers. Prices lower than low. Extended financing longer than long. All that makes it difficult for the small to mid-size independents. Even larger independents. It also presents lots of opportunities.
So . . . you run an ad. You mail a post card. You have a dynamite web site. Why should anyone call you or come in? Because you're good at what you do? Because you're such a nice person? SADLY -- NO.
Don't fall victim to thinking, "If I do everything right, people will beat a path to my door." In today's hectic world, nobody's beating a path to anyone's door.
So, what do you do?
