#3 The Ultimate Marketer using all these simple businesses tactics:

A small girl was selling lemonade for 30c and she was talk of neighborhood. She was selling more and charging more, how could that be? Here were her simple businesses tactics.

Her notice did not just say Lemonade 30c. It said “Freshly Squeezed Lemonade, Made Just For You”

She greeted all her customers personally. She took obvious pride in her wares and stand. Her stand was simply and nicely decorated and spotlessly clean.

However she did not stop here. She set up her stand next door to most popular Hot Dog/snack stand. This vender was well known throughout neighborhood for his great food and service. He had a great location near many offices on a busy street and he was not just seasonal he was there all year round so everybody knew him. He was perfect compliment to little girl’s lemonade stand. Plus he was a friendly fellow and always recommended his customers to have some delicious lemonade with their lunch/snacks. Of course she also returned favor.

Now we can all learn from simple businesses tactics that made this small entrepreneur talk of town. To recap:

She treated all her customers well, going out of her way to make them feel comfortable. Added value. Happy customers=repeat customers, good service = word of mouth marketing, a very powerful form of promotion. A clean, attractive and professional stand attracted more customers. Her strong link with a large popular seller helped her to sell more. Because of all these factors and added value of customer service she could charge premium price.

The list of great things I can think of about a home business goes on and on. Here are some of things that can be a drain on you with a home business opportunity:

You can’t leave your business at certain critical times of growth Your family will sometimes become a distraction when you are working at home Your bed is in same place as your work There’s no boss to keep you honest about your hours There’s no boss to keep you on your focus to complete critical tasks No one will do work for you Customers can be a pain sometimes The money in beginning can come in sporadically (people who cannot handle any kind of financial stress should definitely keep their jobs until their home business opportunity starts paying bills regularly).

No pain no gain. No risk, no profit. No investment, no return. A home business opportunity is like any other business. Don’t let anyone tell you differently!

But for those of us that thrive on making our own way in world, who love that there is no limit to what we can make, and no one but our spouses to tell us what to do, there is nothing under sun better than a home business!
