049: Video Marketing with Author Alfred Poor

Video Marketing

Alfred Poor

“Power Marketing” …  online videos used as a powerful and cost-effective strategy for small businesses. Most Small business owners don’t have the time or money to focus on marketing. In most cases, they buy some ads and put up a sign and hope for the best. In fact, the traditional ways don’t work anymore to help companies get found by prospective customers and clients (except for a few niches such as bail bondsmen and insurance brokers). Adding video to your website gives  a competitive advantage, but the big surprise is that it can take very little time and money, and you don’t have to own a computer or even touch a camera. A video not only makes it more likely that your prospects will find you, but it also makes them more likely to buy from you as well.

Alfred Poor, PhD, is president of The Center for Small Business, which is dedicated to helping small businesses grow and prosper by delivering practical solutions designed to make the most of a company’s scarce resources: time and money. He is a speaker and writer with an international reputation, and is the author of more than a dozen books including “Power Marketing for Small Business: How you can boost sales with low-cost video.” To learn more about Alfred and his work, visit: www.alfredpoor.com

042: Jeanius Social Media Marketing Plan with Jean Scally

Jean Scally

The New Rules of Marketing Can Kill Your
Business If You Don’t Know Them

97% of all consumers use online media to research products or services. That includes videos, search engines, social media, and mobile web technologies. If you think that this is something that only “young people” use, you are wrong! Most of the buying public now uses them to make purchasing decisions.

The marketing paradigm has shifted from one-way “push” messaging to social media, which is a multi-point conversation. These conversations are happening online… whether you participate or not. If you haven’t adapted your strategy, you will be left behind.

Whether you need to build a list, or grow a loyal fan base-there’s a Jeanius solution for you. My guest and I will discuss custom marketing plans to take advantage of cutting-edge social media, lead capture, and automated response systems.
