These testimonials are NOT from would-be entrepreneurs. They are from REAL small business owners like you, slugging it out in the trenches every day!

24 July 2008

From the desk of David Frey, author of The UK Small Business Marketing Bible:

Dear Small Business Professional,

Are you struggling to attract new customers to your small business? Do you have a great product or service but aren't sure how to let prospects know about you?

Are you frustrated with your current marketing efforts and looking for new and unique ways to promote your business?

Do you see your competitors growing and wonder what they are doing to be so successful (even when you know their product or service isn't nearly as good as yours)?

There is a terrible myth that may very well be killing your business, even as you read this page. You see...

...many business owners believe that if they have a great product or service, business will come to them.

Well, you probably do offer the best product and you probably do offer great service. You have the best trained employees, the longest warranties, and the most awards.

But that alone doesn't bring you all the prospects you can handle...does it?

No! If you don't promote your business and promote it effectively and in different ways to your competitors, it will eventually dry up and blow away - no matter how good your product or service is.

That's why this manual - The UK Small Business Marketing Bible - has been created.

"Now You Can Give Your Business The Unfair Advantage, Using Innovative Marketing Tactics That Get Results Fast"

The UK Small Business Marketing Bible contains almost 300 pages, packed full of proven marketing tactics that will improve the sales of any product or service.

It doesn't matter if you are a service business, manufacturer or retailer - in reality it doesn't matter whether you sell to the FTSE 100 or are a local home-based business. What you'll learn in this manual will allow you to dominate any market of your choosing...guaranteed.

"Who Am I And Why Should You Believe Me?"

My name is David Frey. I am the author of this manual and I have been helping businesses grow and prosper for the past ten years. I spent five years as a senior business consultant in one of the world's largest consulting firms, Andersen Consulting, helping clients grow their businesses. I've also been a marketing practitioner in the 'real world' as a former Senior VP for a £300 million company, and a VP, Sales and Marketing in the retirement community industry. As President of Marketing Best Practices, Inc., I've rolled up my sleeves and lived in the trenches with dozens of small businesses and entrepreneurs, helping them improve their marketing efforts. And I've teamed up with Cobweb Information Ltd, one of the UK's leading publishers of information for entrepreneurs and small business owners, which has edited this highly regarded manual for a UK audience. "Explaining why marketing holds the key to business success" "I Appreciate The Fact That There Are A Lot Of People Out There Who Already Sell Marketing Stuff" But how many really DO marketing day-in and day-out for a living? I'm out in the small business world every day testing, failing, proving and succeeding with entrepreneurs like you. And Cobweb has contact with thousands of small business owners who ask for marketing help every day of the year. This is not just theory. This is a finger on the small business marketing pulse. "OK, Let's Get Down To Business. Let Me Show You What You'll Discover When You Get The UK Small Business Marketing Bible..."

In this gigantic volume (almost 300 pages) of marketing tactics, you'll find 38 chapters explaining in detail how to implement each money-making marketing strategy step-by-step. This manual took OVER A YEAR TO WRITE and hours and hours of painstaking detail to ensure that each strategy is explained in depth, with clear examples of how you can apply it to your specific business. You simply won't find a more comprehensive guide to marketing your small business online or offline. That's why it makes sense for you to take a closer look at The UK Small Business Marketing Bible. This manual will teach you how to take the guesswork out of attracting prospects, converting them to customers, and turning your customers into an ongoing income stream for the life of your business. Here is what you'll learn in The UK Small Business Marketing Bible...

"Turning Small Businesses Into Successful Businesses"

Chapter 1 - Your seven-step, one-day marketing plan

Studies have shown that small businesses that develop and use a marketing plan out-perform those that don't have a plan by 30%. You can create a successful plan for your small business in just one day following this seven-step plan.

What you'll learn in this chapter...

	Six critical questions you need to ask yourself before you even begin to create your marketing plan. (These are the same six questions all entrepreneurs should ask themselves before starting a business.)
	The one confusion that 95% of all new business owners have that significantly decreases their ability to market their products effectively.
	Four questions that you can use to understand your customers and marketplace immediately. (An important pre-requisite to developing your marketing plan.)
	Seven critical elements of a compelling marketing message.
	How to determine which marketing medium to use to promote your product or service.
	A unique five-step method for setting your annual sales goals.
	A simple, 60-second formula for determining your marketing budget with high accuracy.

Chapter 2 - The lifetime value of your customer

The lifetime value of your customer is perhaps one of the most important numbers in your business. Understanding your lifetime customer value will bring an entirely new perspective to your marketing efforts and how much you spend to acquire new customers.

What you'll learn in this chapter...

	A step-by-step technique for determining the lifetime value of your customer.
	A simple trick using the lifetime value formula to motivate your employees to deliver exceptional customer service.
	An actual example of the lifetime value calculation for a real, live business.

"The author answers questions about lead generation"

Chapter 3 - Differentiate or die: creating your unique selling proposition

With so many choices in every market today, you must have something unique to differentiate your business from the next. If you don't, your venture will be just another 'me too' business, destined to end up in the pile of failed enterprises.

What you'll learn in this chapter... 

	How to use the 'performance gap' method for developing a rock-solid unique selling proposition (USP) that will set you apart from your competition.
	Three specific examples of winning USPs from three completely different industries, and how they were created using the 'performance gap' method.
	The secret to creating a powerful USP, even if you compete in a so-called 'commodity' business.

Chapter 4 - The five-step formula to creating your marketing message

It's great to have a high-quality product or service, but if you can't communicate how good it is to the public, then you're no better than the 'Joe Blow' down the street who sells junk. You must be able to create a compelling marketing message in order for people to sit up and take notice of your business.

In this chapter you'll learn...

	Why nearly all small businesses have watered down, run-of-the-mill, boring marketing messages.
	The key element to creating a compelling marketing message that gets people's attention and forces them to take action.
	A five-step, paint-by-numbers, proven method for creating a winning marketing message that anybody can write. (Even a C-average high-school student can write a compelling marketing message using this method!)
	The single biggest mistake that small businesses make when creating their own marketing messages. (Nearly every brochure, website, advertisement and commercial makes this deadly mistake.)

Chapter 5 - How to make it rain referrals

If you don't have a systematic referral programme you are missing out on one of the simplest, lowest-cost ways to generate your highest-quality customers. Referrals are the lifeblood of small business - if you haven't yet institutionalised a referral programme, you're making a huge mistake.

In this chapter you'll learn...

	Why customer service doesn't always result in referrals. (This is an ugly myth!)
	The difference between word-of-mouth advertising and referrals. (The business owner that doesn't understand this difference will never get the amount of referrals they expect and deserve.)
	A simple method for asking for referrals that works 90% of the time.
	The two most important referral programmes that every small business should be using, with a step-by-step method for implementing both.
	How to start your own referral group that will feed your business with a never-ending stream of high-quality referrals.
	The best way to reward referral-givers and the absolute worst way to reward referrers. (Hint: most people use the latter method.)

"David demonstrates a new way to advertise"

	How to segment your customer database into A, B and C customers using the 80/20 revenue formula.

	A simple method of reactivating old customers who haven't done business with you over a period of time.
	How to profit from your customers without even bringing them back into your business, using your customer database.

Chapter 7 - How to thrill your customers

Every small business owner wants to find that little bit extra or that little bit of difference that they can use to set themselves apart from their competitors. The key to this is not in meeting customer expectations, but in exceeding them. In this chapter you'll find 45 ways to take your customers by surprise and give them a memorable experience.

Chapter 8 - Joint ventures: using other people's customers
to get a rush of new business

Why spend a ton of money and effort chasing new customers when you can get them at a fraction of your normal acquisition cost with a just a simple question? Partnering with other businesses to get new customers is the key to increasing revenues while decreasing marketing costs.

In this chapter you'll learn...

	How to identify profitable joint venture partners that can flood your business with new customers with little or no cash outlay.
	Four specific examples of potential joint ventures that you can use in your own business to boost revenues immediately.
	How to approach your joint venture partner so that they'll say "yes" to your proposition nearly every time. (I show you a live example of a joint venture promotion.)
	Specific word-for-word responses to the three most common objections when proposing a joint venture with a potential partner.
	A five-step roadmap to get your first joint venture programme up and running.

"OK, You've Probably Seen Enough Already. But I've Only Shown You A Fraction Of What You'll Learn In The UK Small Business Marketing Bible. There's Even More - A Lot More!"

Every chapter in The UK Small Business Marketing Bible is stuffed with practical, 'how-to', step-by-step tutorials on how to market your small business. Here's what else you'll find in The UK Small Business Marketing Bible...

Chapter 9 - What business are you in?

Too many entrepreneurs start their businesses with the idea that they'll gain money, time and freedom. The truth is that the vast majority of small businesses fail in the first five years and the ones that survive put their owners in either the psychiatric ward or divorce court! This chapter reveals the secret to finding the freedom that you intended when you first started your business.

Chapter 10 - How free giveaways can boost your revenues

Offering free giveaways to prospects and customers is a powerful business-building strategy that can result in a flood of new and repeat customers. It may seem counter-productive to give away your products and services to build your business, but people can't resist the lure of receiving something for free. This chapter teaches what to give away, when to give it away, and how to do giveaways.

Chapter 11 - Guarantee marketing: how to turn your guarantee into a
competitive weapon

A guarantee is one of the most powerful marketing weapons every small business owner has...but most don't even know it. This chapter will teach you how to create a compelling guarantee that will have your customers whipping out their wallets.

Chapter 12 - Niche marketing: expand your customer base by
narrowing your marketing focus

Have you ever heard the saying, "Get rich in the niche?" Well it's absolutely true. This chapter teaches how to select a profitable niche, how to contact your niche, what to send to them, and how to exploit your niche for everything it's worth.

Chapter 13 - Using consumer research to develop innovative
marketing strategies

All profitable marketing strategies are based on a complete and thorough knowledge of the customer. Consumer research studies provide powerful information that can help you to create effective marketing strategies. This chapter will teach you the secret to knowing how to translate consumer research statistics into great marketing strategies that will make you money.

"Explaining the emotional response buying curve"

Chapter 14 - 13 elements of a winning small business advertisement

Nobody can guarantee a winning ad, but there are several elements that you can use in your ad that are proven to significantly boost your response. This chapter gives you a checklist of 13 high-powered 'ad-response boosters'. Don't even think of running another ad without reading this.

Chapter 15 - 12-step foolproof sales letter template

You don't have to be an award-winning writer to create effective sales letters. In fact, writing great sales letters is more science than art. Even the pros use proven templates to create sales letters that get results. This chapter reveals my proprietary 12-step template that any monkey can use to create a fantastic sales letter.

Chapter 16 - Telephone success strategies for small businesses

Most employees make the mistake of answering phone calls as though they were interruptions rather than opportunities. You pay good money to make your phone ring, yet it's costing your business thousands of pounds in lost revenue. This chapter will teach you several strategies that will get your customers off the phone and into your business (and build a powerful mailing list at the same time).

Chapter 17 - How to price your product or service for maximum profit

Often the difference between a winning product and a loser is how you price it. Sales tests have shown that price is one of the most compelling factors that determine the success of a sale. You must know how to price effectively. This special report reveals dozens of pricing tactics that will get your product or service moving and still retain a healthy gross margin.

Chapter 18 - How to use the power of packaging to double your sales

Packaging your products and services can be a powerful marketing technique to move more products and services, and add more value. I'm not talking about what your package looks like, I'm talking about how you present your offer. This section reveals little-known packaging strategies that will allow you to sell more of your product or service at higher prices.

Chapter 19 - Membership marketing: turning occasional
buyers into loyal customers

Membership programmes are downright powerful. They lower marketing costs, decrease customer attrition, allow you to sell more products and services, get more revenue out of existing customers, increase referrals, and provide a consistent stream of predictable income. What business wouldn't want all that? This chapter teaches you how to set up your membership programme and how to keep paying customers year after year.

"Driving home a critical marketing principle"

Chapter 20 - Street marketing for small businesses

One-to-one community-based street marketing is powerful and effective because it searches and finds your prospect and delivers your marketing message face-to-face. No other marketing medium has that power, not even direct mail or the Internet. This chapter teaches a way to sell your products or services door-to-door for a nice profit (with no out-of-pocket expenses)...and you don't have to do any of the work!

Chapter 21 - Using customer testimonials in your marketing
message to break down fear and scepticism

If you had to ask what is the single most powerful marketing weapon for any business, big or small, my answer would undoubtedly be...customer testimonials. It's one thing for you to toot your own horn, but it's another thing when someone who has no financial stake in your success does. This chapter spills the beans on how to get a TON of testimonials, in a short period of time, using hypnotic tactics that anyone can start using straight away.

Chapter 22 - The secret key to guaranteed repeat sales

Most people will tell you that the key to repeat sales is rendering good customer service. While that may be true, it certainly doesn't even come close to what I share with you in this section. In fact, you can have a lousy product with terrible customer service and still have guaranteed repeat sales following this formula. (This chapter is not what you think it is...it's much better. In fact, it's so good that the most prominent marketing magazine in Australia reprinted this entire chapter!)

Chapter 23 - Follow-up marketing: how to win more sales with less effort

Studies have shown that more than 90% of small business owners don't do any form of follow-up with customers or prospects. Those that do capture leads and follow them up enjoy higher conversion rates and a higher percentage of referrals than those that don't. This chapter reveals different types of follow-up systems you can use and how to put them in place.

Chapter 24 - Lead generation: how to flood your business with hot qualified prospects

Without a continuous stream of qualified prospects, most small businesses will just dry up and blow away. In this section I reveal the 'ultimate' lead generation system. It is, from my experience, the most powerful lead generation system in existence. It requires little manual effort (nearly autopilot), it generates names, addresses and e-mail addresses, gives permission to market to the lead, creates a positive relationship, and generates consistent, predictable results.

Chapter 25 - Charitable marketing: growing your
business through charitable giving

Business isn't just for making money. It can also bless the lives of the less fortunate. But what if you were able to make money AND bless other people's lives at the same time? This chapter gives you scores of ways to market your business, build your brand, and attract more clients by partnering with charities. (Don't underestimate the power of this marketing strategy!)

Chapter 26 - Increasing revenue using bumps, up-sells, cross-sells
and down-sells

Want to know how to double or even triple your sales without attracting even one more customer to your business? In this chapter you'll learn innovative ways of using bumps, up-sells, cross-sells, and down-sells to increase your average sale amount and continue to get more money from your customers. I even reveal my secret 'breakdown' method for creating more revenue out of thin air!

Chapter 27 - How to create an offer that your prospects can't resist

Would you like to know how to create an offer so persuasive, so attractive, so magnetic that your prospects just can't help giving you their money? In this chapter I take you step-by-step through the process of creating offers that will dramatically increase your prospect-to-customer conversion ratio.

Chapter 28 - How to radically reduce refunds and returns

How would you like to reduce your refunds and returns to nearly zero? There are few things worse for a small business owner than to watch your product come back after the sale with a request for a refund. Stop losing your hard-earned revenues and start using my proven formula to make your sales stick!

"Still Undecided? If This Manual Stopped Right Here It Would Be Worth Twice The Asking Price. But I've Saved The Best For The Last Ten Chapters. (And Wait Till You See The Special Bonuses I'm Offering You!)"

Chapter 29 - How do you know what marketing media you should be using?

Rather than plan their marketing budget and investments, many small business owners snap up the first 'deal' that comes their way. And most struggle with how to allocate their marketing spend across the mass of media choices they're faced with. This chapter identifies five key strategic questions to help you determine your ideal marketing mix, and the pros and cons of using different types of advertising media.

Chapter 30 - Internet marketing strategies for local small businesses

You hear a lot of strategies for marketing your online business on the Internet, but very few strategies for marketing your offline local business on the Internet. For all those local 'bricks and mortar' business owners that spent thousands of pounds building a great website, this section is for you.

Chapter 31 - 16 small business website mistakes (and how to fix them)

The web is a major channel for lead-generation and sales of products and services.

This section details the 16 most common marketing mistakes websites make.
