HelpMyBusiness.com - Maverick Marketing Video

help my business sucks

Andrew Lock introduced HelpMyBusiness.com today with his first “Maverick Marketing” episode. He offers sound, actionable, wide-scale marketing advice.

For this particular episode, part three was the most impactful for me. Pay special attention to how Andrew addresses the marketing Disney uses for their ticket prices: largest prices at the top, with the greatest value (and most expensive) circled in red. From there, the prices get less expensive… and the least expensive ($60+) feels like a bargain after starting out with their suggested package.

While “Help My Business Sucks” only boasts one episode as of today, Andrew has assured me the pipeline is full. Be sure to check back for updates to this well-produced show.

RipCard - Business Card Referral System

ripcard exampleThe Restaurant Revolution is about creating systems, tracking and being pro-active with marketing. There are many ways to systematize your marketing processes, and one of the latest and best is a Patent Pending item called the RipCard.

I’ve personally spoken with Alf Marcussen over the phone about his new product, launched April 1, 2008. Now that I understand the scope of this project, I honestly feel you should take a serious look on how it could be used in your own business.

Reason being, it not only creates a system, but you can track the results and test different offers. These are the key features of any serious marketing strategy of the 21st century.

Restaurant Video Marketing On A Budget - Flip Camera

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 60-Minutes (Black)

Flip Video Ultra Series Camcorder, 30-Minutes (Black)

I made the video and then looked up the new prices of the cameras… now the 30 minute version is nearly the same cost as the 60 minute(?). Obvious decision there.

Video is where it’s at. Join the Revolution… create videos of your restaurant, post them on YouTube and stick a link in the comments/description of the video back to your own website. Take the embed content from YouTube to put the videos on the web site locally.

Lots of opportunity and fun to be had.
