Did you know that
Famous Amos got rich simply by giving away free samples of his
famous chocolate chip cookies? Here's 10 reasons why giving things
away for free can greatly increase your business profits or send
your new home-based business idea into orbit.
1.) Free is the best form of
advertising.
People
are naturally attracted to the word “free”. If you cannot give
away samples another form of free is the “puppy dog” approach.
Like a sports car, let a “qualified” prospect take it home for a
day, like a new puppy and let them fall in love with it.
2.) Seeing is believing. Sometimes you cannot explain
in words to people how great something is. You just have to show
it to them to get their attention. Show people how great your
home-based business idea is by giving them a sample.
3.) Giving away freebies lowers people's defenses.
It's easier to give something away than it is to try to sell
something. People don't like to be sold. It triggers their natural
radar defense mechanism.
4.)
People love to give their opinion. Do you
have a great home-based business idea for a product? Ask people to
try it so you can get their opinion on it.
5.) With the right product, you can make up small
samples that are dirt cheap. This means advertising can cost you
next to nothing.
6.) The best form of advertising is word-of-mouth. If
people love your freebies they will tell all their family, friends
and associates about them – especially today with text messaging,
Face Book and all the social online stuff going on.
7.) The best lead you can get is a referral lead.
Giving away freebies can let others do the selling for you. And by
highly recommending you, your product or your service prospects
will be pre-sold on you and your home-based business idea or
company.
8.) By giving away free stuff you're building
friendships. You're not just building business relationships. You
have the chance to build lasting friendships with people. This is
a more relaxed way to work your home-based business idea.
9.) Giving away free stuff allows you to have more fun
with your business. And when it's fun you are more likely to
succeed. Giving things away is less stressful to you and the
prospect than trying to sell them something.
10.) Free done right, can be the most powerful form of
advertising.
Always try to include the word “Free” in all your advertising.
It's still the most powerful attention-getting word. Free can
create a lot of “buzz”.
11.)
Most importantly, giving things away for free creates a great way
to follow up or get back with prospects. Statistics prove that
with any home based business idea, 48% of sales people never
follow up with a prospect and that 80% of sales are made on the
fifth to twelfth contact.
Now you know how to get all the free advertising and
free leads you can possibly handle to launch your home based
business ideas successfully. Free advertising and free referrals
is the most powerful way to grow your business and these two
things can be done easily through giving away free samples of your
precious products. Now all you need to do is look forward to
making money hand over fist!
