The Very Best Place to start is where ever you spend most of your time.

Go to Amazon.com and wander through lists of catagories. Check out "Best Sellers" See what people are interested in.

Go to overture.com. http://inventory.overture.com/d/searchinventory/suggestion/ Pull up key words and you'll sometimes be very surprised at subjects that people are searching for information on.

What are people watching on television? The popularity of current shows are a great indicator..Remember popularity of "X FILES"..Anything paranormal was immediately gobled up! :)

These News-Lists do not have to be time consuming..especially if information you provide is already gleaned from your own day to day wandering through internet..

Just get in habit of scribbling down or saving websites and ideas into a folder as you go.

There's no need to include lengthy articles, or create a Newsletter format or template. All you need is your email server and a free list server such asTopica or Yahoo..

Include Top and Bottom "From Our Sponsor" Ads of your own..perferably with a product that is of same theme as News-List..May as well let your publication be "Pre-sell" for those ads as long as you're doing it !!

So start thinking of where you spend your time..Think about kind of information that you can pull together to:

=>Offer something of value in exchange for a potential customers E-mail address.

And that's a Good Thing.. For Both of You!

=======================================

Customers on Fence -- Before you send off your next proposal, call your client and tell her proposal she requested is ready. Tell your client you'd like to forward proposal to her, but before you do, ask her what time tomorrow would be convenient to discuss proposal. Remember, always set up your next appointment before releasing any information!

Charge at Least Five Bucks -- Always charge a fee for all your event marketing efforts. Fee-paid seminars and workshops almost always generate more participants than free events. The fee does two things. First, when you charge for something, there’s an implied "value" built in. Your prospect will believe they "get more" when they pay, versus not paying. Second, when a prospect pays you, they’re showing a commitment and are now a more qualified prospect and more likely to show up. Don’t just take my word for it; test it. It’s true.

Stimulate Customer Senses -- Do you think smell of fresh baking bread flowing throughout grocery store or music playing is by chance? Absolutely not. Retail businesses have been going out of their way for years to stimulate shoppers and keep them browsing. Stimulating senses works outside of bricks and mortars too. For example, let’s say you're a business development expert and you're getting ready to mail your quarterly newsletter on white stock. Instead, try a red or pink-hued paper. Or, if you’d prefer to remain conservative, use a white textured stock. Another example: There's nothing worse than smell of a disinfectant used in a doctor's office. Try burning vanilla candles in waiting room, they’ll help sooth your customers while they wait. If your business is notorious for long waiting room times, fresh baked cookies would work well. Remember, more comfortable we keep our customers, longer they’ll stay, more memorable experience they’ll have and more they’ll spend, or pass on positive word-of-mouth. When you’re planning your next marketing activity, remember to stimulate your customers’ senses, including eyes, ears, nose and mouth.
