Editor's Notes
Thank you so much for joining me today.
^ If you haven’t launched anything online, or you have done it before and know you can do better, then this webinar series is for you.
About me- I am caroline balinska
Marketer- Super excited, held a live event a few months ago and received great feedback.
biz owner - 2 weeks ago sold one of my offline businesses to my major competitor. Great outcome.
1-on-1 - Love this, so much fun, I love seeing people change and grow. Love helping them learn
^ All the big companies use a launch strategist. There needs to be one person overseeing the whole process.
Once again just today I saw a blog offering advice to launch in 2 weeks. It is so irresponsible! Giving being such high hopes!
If you missed yesterday, make sure you watch it.
Today - Creating a special offer
part 3- The 1 Document You Can’t Afford To Launch Without
As I said yesterday.
Setting things up properly gives you much less chance to fail.
Trust me. once you set things up and take the time. The last thing you want to do is fail.
^
Launching is work. I will tell you about 50% of people give up a week in, of the rest 80% try on their own, fail then give up.
Work hard at it, and do it right the first time. The great news is there are not many competitors at the top..
Ok, lets get into it! PART 2
Today we are talking about creating your special offer
You will need this for ALL sales pages, so make sure you pay attention.
No matter what you think, if you don’t know this, you don’t know your business.
CokeCola created the “share a drink with ….” campaign, based on knowing their audience. Their advertising also has 20 something year olds as they know that is their target audience.
Take a look at all major brands
You don’t see a group of men sitting around in ad for nappies. You see very happy babies. Because every mother wants a happy baby.
These companies pay BIG dollars to know everything about their target audience, down to the toothpaste they use. why??? Because they use this information to make you comfortable.
You need to follow in the steps of these companies if you are serious about making money.
These are the main questions you need to ask yourself and really think about.
The more you niche, the more a certain type of person hears you. And also remember, don’t be scared about niching your audience. You really wont lose the numbers you think you will.
Remember No one was hearing you before anyway. Your words were just noise. by creating your Ideal customer you will talk directly to them and the others will want to be like them.
Think of the coke cola ads….
Do you think every guy drinking coke is 25,looks like a greek god and has abs of steal? NO! But they make people think that you need coke to be like that. The CokeCola company is not scared that 90% of people will suddenly stop drinking it when they see that ad because they think, WHOOO that’s not me, I can’t drink this, I don’t look like that!
NO! They know they need a niche! AND SO DO YOU!
…………………..
This is not about your product or service. this is about the benefit.
Watch a Coke ad, they don’t speak about the size of the can, the colour of the drink, the fizz or the
ingredients. They show you how happy and cool you will be.
Nike don’t talk about the materials used, or the time the shoes will last you or the angle of rise between the heel and the toe. They tell you that you can do anything when you wear them. And that you will be the winner in life. and that you will be free. They don’t talk about the fact they are made in China. >>>>>>>>
Your offering should either solve a problem or make them feel good >>>>>>>>
To avoid pain or a loss
The need to gain pleasure
This is true whether it is for themselves or for others.
a pain would be - women buy nappies that make their babies laugh so they can avoid hearing the baby cry. Or a person buying the car without looking around for other prices as the sale is only on today and they don’t want to miss the discount.
They buy for Pleasure because - feels good, looks good, tastes good. The person looks good in it.
Here is an example of mine - I didn’t really want to spend the money on a new can opener as we hardly use it and it can work if you spend 30mins prying the tan open. But I realised the cost and hassle of buying one now would outweigh the pain I would go through next time i needed it.
This is to entice people to signup or buy from you. To help them come a customer or even a lead.
To collect an email address
Part of the offerings - special bonuses, limited time offer
After the sale- up-sell or cross-sell
Before the sale - could be the coming soon offer or the prelaunch special offer.
You can do all if you want to
today we will concentrate on the pre-launch special offer. Also known as the coming soon opt-in offer.
This picture is NOT what I call a good coming soon page
There are 2 things missing - which are: a strong call to action and information to help people get to KNOW, LIKE AND TRUST you.
trust me, as much as you think you are selling the best think in the world. without those 2 things none else knows it.
>>>>>>>
This is the draw card to get people to give you their email address
>>>>>>>
^ MAKE SURE YOU ARE Sending emails with information that is relevant helps build a relationship.
You can also offer something from another business (with permission of course) . this is where joint ventures come in to play.
^
Make sure you tell them what you want them to do, AND what they will get for signing up.
^
Make sure you page has information about you. so people can get to know you. If you are doing this correctly, people should be sharing your link on twitter with people who don’t know you. So tell them about you or your business.
I am going to give you a real case study on my business of 5 years I recently sold to my major competitor.
This business had no stock, no staff and yet have a high value
^
>>>>>>>> Like this
>>>>>>>>
^
Sounds straight to point doesn’t it?
But now, what about this?
^
Does that make you feel different?
Even if you are not getting married, I am sure #2 works better. No lies, no silly stories. It is about targeting what you client wants. And this client needs to feel understood (as do most)
THIS IS THE PROCESS OF A SALES FUNNEL (SIMPLIFIED)
Don’t be afraid to try something different.
Look at your competitors
Look at different niches (a plumber might be doing a great opt-in you can adapt.
Check out their Facebook and twitter pages, are people following them?
Split test (this can be done very easily with 2 easy to use systems)
Just ask your current customers and leads
QUESTIONS
Maggie Otto - I’m in the baby clothing business, what can I DO AS A SPECIAL offer?
>>>>>>> I always like to suggest people in online retail offer a VIP club. Which means a percentage off, or free postage. So a coming soon offer could be signup in next 5/10 days and get a bonus $50 off your first order. Don’t be tight here. Don’t give $5 off a minimum $100 spend. See your first sale as a LOST LEAD
Emma Murry - I have a small gym and yoga studio. What do you suggest?
>>>>>>>>>> Gyms work best with a number of sessions free, it gives people a chance to get involved. Maybe an open night on your quietest nights?
I heard an awesome 4 part special offer done by a Gym recently. Get a 2 week trial for $49. then the owner gave the trial customer 5 items over the 2 weeks, A t-shirt, water bottle, keyring and a voucher for 3 drinks at the local juice shop with a note of the healthiest options. This was a total lost lead. But by then the new lead is hooked and feels important.
I have seen so many launch in 30 day calendars…
Some of the better ones at least say “come with content created”
I have heard some coaches (i use the word loosely) say they launched in 2 weeks while working full time.
I say minimum is 40 days. That is full time, working on your launch. Even then without guidance it is hard to see what you are missing.
I have seen too many people think it over too much.
Create 2 you like most and split test the page.
If you are your target audience, pick something you would like.
Do confuse too many different things. You can bundle something but only if you would normal bundle in that way. Make sure the items work together.
Thank you so much for joining me.
I really appreciate your time
See you at the next session!
