 An Internet "Handshake" and Gift - By Juanita Bellavance<br />
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=<br />
It’s the most time-tested marketing strategy on the planet<br />
 today. For effectiveness, it cannot be overlooked. <br />
<br />
If you’re familiar with the sales funnel or marketing funnel <br />
in business, you know that to offer something of value for <br />
free will often bring prospects in the doors of your business <br />
in droves. Using this technique for a store front with a <br />
physical presence is simple. Everyone knows how it works. <br />
You have to go down to the store in question to pick up <br />
the free gift in person. <br />
<br />
Car dealerships have been known for offers where they mail <br />
you a key. You are told to bring that key to the dealership <br />
and drive one of their cars. It’s very tempting as there is <br />
usually some other enticing offer with it, like the first <br />
100 people to do a test drive on a car will receive a certain <br />
discount upon purchase – or some such offer. <br />
<br />
We recently experienced a double treat in Atlanta where we <br />
drove a new hybrid Lexus to experience its quality in order <br />
to receive a free $15.00 gift card for a whole foods <br />
restaurant. A lot of people were stopping in and discovering <br />
new information about both products. It was a very successful <br />
marketing campaign. To drive the Lexus people had to give <br />
their contact information. It was genius. <br />
<br />
If your business is an internet business, you might wonder <br />
how you can give a handshake and introduce yourself by name. <br />
On the internet people are often searching for information. <br />
As a gift you create information that can satisfy their <br />
curiosity on a subject or that can offer some solution to <br />
a problem they may have. <br />
<br />
As with any store, when people visit your website to pick <br />
up the free information, the wise business owner will get <br />
the contact of the visitor when they choose to receive the <br />
free information. It’s like the beginning of a conversation <br />
would be in a store. Your page is like a store clerk saying, <br />
“Hi, welcome to our store. How can I help you?” “Oh, the <br />
free gift card? Yes, may I have your contact information?” <br />
You gladly give it so you can have the gift. Only people <br />
who leave their information are able to receive the gift. <br />
<br />
For an internet business, people expect to leave their <br />
contact information to receive your free gift. If you <br />
are offering something valuable enough, they will feel <br />
compelled to leave their contact information. <br />
<br />
When you have made your free gift valuable enough, people <br />
will remain subscribed to your email list after receiving <br />
their gift. They are giving you permission to send them <br />
even more information since they can see from the gift <br />
you already gave, your future information is probably <br />
going to match that value or better. <br />
<br />
As you continue to offer valuable information, products <br />
and services to the person who has given their permission <br />
to be contacted, you gradually end up with a “cyber friend.” <br />
Each time you offer a new gift to those people, even if you <br />
already know them now, it’s important to offer the handshake <br />
page to receive their contact information for that new gift. <br />
This will automatically keep a record for you as to the <br />
diverse interests of your website guests even when you <br />
know them previous contact. <br />
