What if there was an alternative for free that you could verify people want or need your product/service? And you could even build a list for pre-sales/clients? Direct mail marketing, I'm revisiting this gem from my landscaping days. This isn't really talked about on the forum, which led me to create the thread.

What does it cost to blow money on views for FB and other stuff? Quite alot! A cheaper alternative could be direct mail marketing, flyers, offers, samples... Not exactly revolutionary here but considering the low costs (1-10 cents) you could mass market for less than a few thousand dollars.

Paying 2 cents right now for a flyer I created..... multiply that by 10,000 you've only spent a measly $200. A bit inspired from Unscripted aswell, a recommendation of 10,000 impressions by the one and only Money Demarco.

I'll quote a small piece of Unscripted below (Page 324) :praise:

''The other failure of nothingness is a lack of reach'' ''Check the sample size and ensure it's large enough to warrant conclusions about it's data. I'd recommend at least 10,000 impressions and/or 1,000 clicks.

So....... let's get out there!

Talk to 1,000 people and verify people want or need the product/service, how can we do this?

  1. Cold calling, phone numbers are available for free online
  2. Door knocking
  3. Direct mail marketing
  4. Street canvassing
  5. Handing out samples
A common problem/excuse for most new entrepreneurs is that they don't have alot of money, ok that makes sense..BUT you don't need to have tons of money to market [fill in the blank] using the methods above.

Hopefully this helped someone. Have a great day :cool:
