TribeologyBlog.com – Episode #615 – Are Your Pages on the Same Page?

Quote: “Be Extraordinary Enjoy the Ordinary”

Saturday: Try This!

 

So today’s “Try This!” tip is something I’m pretty familiar with because it’s at our marina.

A little later today we’re hosting an open house.  This is a great opportunity for our customers to visit the marina without having to take time off at this time of year.

However, it does pose a little problem because it’s winter and there is ice on the lake but we are selling summer recreation.

So what to do?

We put our boats from our Boat Club Fleet on display in our warehouse and invite people to visit.  But we go a little further to help explain the boats.

The reason we have discovered this little trick is that each boat has a “show piece” photo and that is the one that we use on every brochure.

when the customers visit it’s hard to visualize which boat is the one they love from the brochure because the boats are not floating and they are not “in action” driving.  By associating the boat with a photo, it reassures the customer they are looking at the boat they desire.

This helps build trust AND it helps build anticipation.

Look for opportunities where you can help bring the brochure or website to life in your store… I guess the simplest way is to keep profile photos current with human appearances.  If you were a heavy, dark haired, glasses wearing person and you lose weight highlight your hair and get contact lenses… meaning… you no longer look like your photo – Update it!

When your website matches your business you build trust.  So make sure all of your “pages” are on the same “page”.

Try This!

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode #612 – Facebook Down… Have We Achieved “When”?

Quote: “If not now then when”

Thursday: Infinity Customer

 

I just discovered something.  I’ve been trying to teach to a “system” or “process” called Tribeology.

That’s wrong.

I just discovered that Tribeology is actually a way of life.

Hear me out.

The reason I discovered this is due to one of the 4 online seminars I’m taking right now… the task was to write “my” story.  The reason I’m selling the thing I’m selling.

Well, I just chronicled my journey in formulating our Profit Center, the Boat Club.  It was a very slow growth process… until I implemented Tribeology.

Now here’s the secret, I didn’t know it was Tribeology at the time.  Looking back I can easily see it, but in the middle of it, I had no idea.

I thought I was just doing email marketing.

And I was.

But email marketing done at the same time you implement the 5 C’s and target your most loved customer will transform into Tribeology.

It’s not a process, this is a way of life.

The reason we struggle with content and having to “find something” to post is because we haven’t completely committed to the “way of life” that Tribeology requires.

Commit.

Utilize your marketing skills but Live Tribeology.  This is your vibe.  This is your tribe. This is your business.

Adopt this vibe throughout all aspects of your everyday transactions and it will become easy to post, enjoyable to communicate, and exciting to repeat.

and that brings me full circle to today’s quote…

Five Simple Words

“if not now then when”

Facebook was “down” today.  If your whole list and economic security has been built on their platform, today you did not make sales.  Today you are NOT in control.

Do you want to be dependent on Facebook or risk a Google smack?

Or do you want financial freedom by attracting an ideal customer, transforming from “one and done” to “Infinity”, and controlling your future by cultivating your private list as an asset of your business?

Commit.

IF NOT NOW THEN WHEN

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode #611 – Teaching the Teacher

Quote: “If you can’t explain it to a 6 year old, you don’t understand it yourself.” AEinstein

Tuesday: Content and Consistency

 

Time for our Einstein moment!  🙂

So if you can’t dumb it down you’ve got a problem.  That means no matter what you are selling you’ve got to be able to explain the core essence of it in less than 20 seconds.  If you can’t do that, work on it.

Simplicity is key!

My favorite teacher from high school regularly stops by and makes sure things are going well at the boat yard.  He also works for us during the busy season.  The funny things is, had you told me that in high school, my reality would involve his friendship, I wouldn’t have believed it.  It’s funny how life works.

Well… he’s a marketing guru that does not have cable TV.

He refused to pay for cable insisting it was a fad (that’s a big of a joke, but he never could figure out why someone would pay for TV when you can get it free) – anyway… back to marketing.

As you know I’ve been taking about 4 online seminars to better my skills at this new way of marketing.  Today I showed my teacher a video. Since he doesn’t own cable TV you can imagine what his skills are at the Internet.  He doesn’t use it.

However, he understands marketing, money, and still coaches students.  So he’s willing to learn.  And that’s the important thing… it’s the reason for my topic.

You must be willing to continually learn and teach and do it with such simplicity that a 6 year old can understand.

Here’s why… the highly complex nature of how some squeeze pages, upsells, CPC, posts, and influencer marketing really boil down to product placements, ad placement, sales letters and contact cards.  It’s ALL the same just mixed with technology.

I had a fun conversation teaching my teacher.  I think I made his head spin… haha   And yes, I gave him homework!

TibeologyBlog.com – Episode 605 – Just Keep Going!

Quote: “The closer one gets to the top, the more one finds there is no ‘top’ ” NBarcus

Wednesday: Midweek Motivation

 

The study of marketing has changed at a rapid pace lately.  The internet has turned things upside down and it’s a skill that once you think you understand, it all changes again.

Or does it?

Or quote today is to understand that once you get to the top you realize there is no top!  That’s a lot like marketing online and here’s why… the basics of “price, place, product, and promotion” are the same whether you’re a retail store or an online business.

However, the “how” twists a little different. That’s when you start on the path of story telling through words and images. It’s the relationship and constant contact with customers that come into play.

So when you get to the top, realize that your foundation stays the same, so as long as you have strong foundation you can simply keep going, learning, and succeeding… just like internet marketing.

TribeologyBlog.com – Episode #603 – Add Color (In the Right Place)

Quote: “Your best teacher is your last mistake.” Ralph Nader

Monday: Subject Matter Expert

 

Have you ever had one of those days when you just screw up. Welcome to my last week Sunday.

UGH.

I was mad at myself for this…  The yellow is suppose to be white. UGHHHHHH

If you’ve followed my blog for a while, I have mentioned that I create personalized dog collars. Well, Shyloh, wanted a new collar.

It’s a great vibe collar with a yin-yang.  I created the layout, programmed the machine, and started stitching.

You know what I did… I broke my rule.  I walked away from the machine before double checking the stitch color.  By the time I walked back to the machine, less than one minute, I noticed my error.  And I couldn’t fix it.

I was out of blank blue collars so I needed to ship it.  Today, I received the replacement blank and I was able to recreate it…

This time I did it the right way… well, here’s fun twist.

Do you remember my post Episode 593 – How I Saved 50% by Listening to My Gut – But I’m Still Hungry? I wrote about my drama in trying to buy new back drops for taking photos of my products.  I plan to revamp my website and update the look on my Instagram.

Well… LOOK!  I was able to use Shyloh’s collar and photograph it with the new backgrounds.

This is important because the design of a yin-yang is a great example of my “cute design upsell”

I like to mention my failure, past and update on Subject Matter Expert day because it’s important to keep up your skills and continually improve.

It’s easy to stay complacent.  Especially with technical and design skills.  I mean look at the black background collar.  It’s fine. It works.  It features the product nicely.

But look at the color backgrounds.  They give Shyloh’s collar an entirely different vibe.  The store has a fun, hip, vibe… and as a result your dog will be hip and fun.

Today, elevate your skill level.  Look for that class, read your magazine, take a seminar.  It’s easy to be stale… but the group your leading needs your best.
