Advertising & Marketing

I am doing a marketing project and one of the questions is to come up with promo strategies for attracting men to a day spa. So far I have "bring a friend offer" that offers discounts, and linking with other organizations (such as a gym) to promote the day spa. I need to list the description, advantages, disadvantages and suitability for the spa. (remember, its men only) I can not include customer loyalty. So, for the men out there, what kind of strategy would attract you to a day spa? lol...

I have operated a couple web sites for almost a year. Tried advertising in my local paper. Listing to free classified ads. Listed to major search engines. Also perform surfing sites to cause traffic to be sent to my sites. So far, I have only had a few sales. Does anyone have any ideas they can suggest at little or no cost to me? I am looking for quality potential customers rather than just more traffic. My sites are set up with huge discounts to attract sales. Please help. Thank you.

I'm trying to setup a new business. I have been up and running for about 3 weeks now.

I am providing a floor plan service to estate agents. Basically I draw a digital scaled floor plan layout of a property for them to upload to their website as an advertising tool. After doing a bit of research it seems that about 10% of estate agents have floor plans of their properties on their website.

The main point about my business is that it has been completely free to setup... so far.

I have a free website - www.cad-complete.co.uk , free email hosting - info@cad-complete.co.uk , I have all the needed software and hardware donated by a friend. I have all the required experience gained over the years as a CAD technician. I have listed my website on several free business listings. BUT I HAVE NO CUSTOMERS! :(

So the question is really this - how do I get estate agents to firstly know about my service and secondly want to use it!? I have emailed many UK estate agents without any replies yet.

You have been given an account to by your supervisor to contact and develop - this will be your first call to Adam Throup who is listed as the IT manager. There has be nothing spent in 8 months and prior to that it was minimal.

The company is called Franks Greeting cards; they manufacture greeting cards and sell them through their own outlets and other card retailers.

They have just purchased a smaller greeting card manufacture and this will add further brands to their product range and hence expansion in the next quarter.

Other depts we arer aware of are Sales, Marketing and Training.

There is a wide range of information that you can get from the call you need to maximise every opportunity you can get during the call.

How would you go about getting this client back? What questions would you ask regarding the new business link? What info would you need that might not be in the brief

I have an at home business which seems to be going well, but I want to promote it even more. I would like to go from breaking even to making a profit. I also have a website to promote. I am not afraid of advertising, but I need to get the best results for my money. If you have had success in your advertising budget, what did you do, and where did you advertise? What was the cost? What was your return? How did you track it? I have lost quite a bit of money to newspaper, phone book, and internet. Now what?

How do you get these types of sites to link back to you. What can I offer them in return other than a custom article. When writing articles, is it good to write and then offer or ask what to write about? Just trying to be creative. Please advise!
