Build Your Online Database With
Bonus Giveaways
Anyone who depends on building a database with online subscribers
knows this is becoming more difficult by the day. Primarily, the
competition for the consumer's attention is fierce. Today's consumer
has become much more demanding and savvy when it comes to buying
products online or signing up for "stuff."
Smart marketers realize the power and profit that comes from a
strong alliance through joint venturing. JV's can be one of the
smartest marketing moves any online marketer can make.
Something that has become very popular in recent months is where one
person or company sweetens the offer of the product they are selling
with lots of bonuses. The bonuses can be their own information
products or those of others who understand the benefits of this type
of campaign. Of course, there is no charge for the bonus products.
There are two primary ways to participate in a JV of this nature.
One is to simply give the PDF file to the person who is selling a
product. The seller gives the PDF directly to the buyer. The
advantage to this is your bonus product gets seen by others. The
disadvantage is you don't get access to the buyer's contact
information.
The other option is to require anyone who buys a product to go to a
link provided by the bonus giver. The link is connected to a page
with a form that the consumer fills out. They must leave their name
and at a minimum, their email address before they can download the
bonus.
When offered the opportunity to partner with other online marketers
I usually jump at the chance. However, I the campaign I am most
likely to join in on is the one where people sign up to get my
bonus. Additionally, I do all I can to make sure the person I
partner with is reputable.
Here are the primary benefits to participating in a joint venture.
1. Expanded market reach
2. Gain name recognition within that market
3. Increase credibility through name association
4. Build a database with minimal effort
5. Create incredible value for the consumer
If you are looking for ways to increase your database, reach,
credibility and visibility while providing more value to your
market, consider joining forces with other progressive thinking
entrepreneurs. It could be one of the smartest business moves you
make.
