When Interactive Media Induces Future Shock
It is not easy to stay abreast of all that is possible using interactive marketing. Indeed there is a delicate balance between using a ‘state-of-the-art’ or ‘cutting-edge’ technology and actually having the customer embrace it. Even if they do adopt the idea, there are no guarantees that a futuristic initiative will be profitable.Consider some of the pioneers of mobile phone marketing. They were creating wonderful solutions as much as five years ago, but the timing was not right. Th

ven very successful, but you will never know if you could have made more profit, or if you could have sold more product. On the plus side you will definitely make your budgeted gross margin on your sales. Whether you will make and net profit will depend on your total sales

Finding Qualified Leads Who Are Ready To Buy From You
Do your sales people spend time with prospects that aren't going to buy no matter what they say to them? Do they search high and low for qualified leads with little or no results? Why is it so hard to generate qualified leads?Solid qualified leads are so hard to find because most businesses, marketers, and sales people don't know what one looks like if they showed up on their doorstep begging to buy something. Seriously, does your company have a written definition of who is the idea

Where you sit in the distribution chain and how long that chain is often influences how your pricing strategy is set.

There are probably just three ways you can price:

1. Cost plus: this is where you decide how much profit you want to make from a given product and you apply the margin to the cost.

2. Competitive pricing: this is where you check out your competitors and price against them, or just below.

3. Value pricing: this is where you look at your total proposition and charge a fair price for the service you provide.

Of course, you will probably say that you use a combination of 1 and 2. You calculate your margin to arrive at a price, then you sanity-check it against the competition and tweak it as necessary.

If you use a combination of all three, you can stop reading now and go back to counting your money, which must be a full time job for you. For those of you still with me, here are the strengths and weaknesses of each.

Cost Plus:

If you just use this system you will be flying blind in the market. You may well be successful, or even very successful, but you will never know if you could have made more profit, or if you could have sold more product. On the plus side you will definitely make your budgeted gross margin on your sales. Whether you will make and net profit will depend on your total sales

Setting the Right Price
One of the ways people get to know you is by the identity you project. Your company name, the way you present yourself, your business card and brochure, where you work, and other ways you conduct your business create an image that gives your customers information about you.Pricing is a part of your image, too. Many entrepreneurs make the mistake of underpricing. They believe that the only way to attract customers is to have the lowest possible price. But this attitude can damage you

Competitive:

If you use this system you will certainly know a lot about your customers and competitors, that is, assuming that your market intelligence is accurate. You will of course be aware of what a full-time job it is just to keep up with constantly changing pricing in the market. Your competitors continually discover your pricing structure, match or better it and you are back to square one, re-pricing again.

The up side is that you will often be competitive and will probably make good sales numbers, what a pity that the monthly accounts don’t look so healthy and the gross margin is down again and you’ll have to look at cutting costs to keep in front.

Value Pricing:

This pricing system takes account of both competition and cost, then applies it your business proposition. It takes account of all the advantages your business has over the competition and charges a premium, however modest, for this. Because it is carefully applied, it is justifiable, more than that, it’s a sales proposition that can be marketed to your custome

The first article in this five part series of how to realistically set your fees talks about the myth vs reality of calculating your billable hours.

Anyone looking for a writer should do their best to find someone who can keep a secret. Client confidentiality is important and finding a writer who understands that just makes sense. What if Kentucky Fried Chicken's copywriting team blabbed about the eleven herbs and spices?

Managers are facing an increasingly knowledge based business environment. This is true not only for the High Tec ones, but also to “traditional” industries. The mature and sometimes saturated markets served by these industries lead to tight and aggressive competition, where knowledge and the ability to act fast can be the only factors separating the winners from the losers.
