BONUS: Newspaper Advertising Still Works

These days there seems to be so much focus on social media, which is why every second person you meet at a networking event is a social media marketing expert. Now don't get me wrong, I agree social media is important, but I still think there is room for old-school traditional marketing. And the newspaper is one of those old-school marketing mediums that I believe still has some benefits and still works if it is used correctly.  Listen to this episode to understand why.  And please email me at tf@tysonfranklin.com  if you have any questions...or doubts that I'm right.  My Website: https://www.tysonfranklin.com   Most Recent Episode

FMF043 - The Orthotic Economy: What's Your Measuring Stick?

Whether you're a Podiatrist making orthotics, a Lawyer writing a Will, a Real Estate Agent selling a house, a Dentist or a hairdresser, we all have units of measure that are worth a particular value.  This episode is all about using these units of measure as a measuring stick towards helping you decide whether you do something or not.  If you're thinking of attending an event or using a business coach, don't look at the costs in dollar terms, instead look at it in unit terms.  For example, if a pair of orthotics generates $500 in revenue and you're considering going to an event that costs $1000, it only requires you to make two orthotics (2 x $500).  With flights and accommodation and time off of work, it may cost you $3000, but that's really only six pairs of orthotics, but if attending this event helps you sell six more pairs of orthotics per month, or write six more wills, or one more house sale, then you've made your money back.  But if it helps you do ...

FMF042 - 7 Tips To Make Your Internal Marketing Surveys A Success

Every business wants more A and B clients and less C and D clients, but how do you find them? One of the best ways is to create an internal marketing survey and ask your A and B clients some simple questions. The more you can learn about you’re A and B clients, the more you’ll also learn about where you can find them, and you can use this information in your future marketing, however, there are a few rules to follow.  Hardcopy - 90%+ I know many businesses send out electronic surveys because they’re cheaper to distribute, but the open and completion rate is low, so I’m not a huge fan. I much prefer hardcopy surveys, the ones that arrive in your letterbox. I know it sounds outdated, but I’ve used hardcopy surveys for years, and our return rate was always close to 90%+ However, a poorly constructed hardcopy survey can still fail. The concept of hardcopy survey works, I know this for a fact, but the delivery and process to follow is critical. 7 Tips Here are seven tips to reme...

INS052: People Quit Too Early with Dr Chris Zaino

Image
Dr Chris Zaino  started his career as an Exercise Physiologist in 1998 and in the same year, he won Mr America. He then became a celebrity trainer for the cast of Xena Warrior Princess & Hercules television series. Life was looking rosy, and then suddenly he was struck down by a significant health problem and in a matter of 4-months went from 230lbs down to 158 lbs. Anti-Chiropractic to Raving Fan He tried everything modern medicine had to offer with no success and he was facing major, life-changing surgery until a teacher from his old high school recommended he see a Chiropractor. As expected he was sceptical, however, the treatment plan was successful, so much so that he went back to university and became a Chiropractor himself, and eventually established one of the largest wellness centres in the world seeing over 2500 patients per week. The key to his success was NEVER GIVING UP and in 2016 he went on the win, Mr Universe. "When you're going through t...

FMF040 - Create A Buzz By Marketing Early (BUZZ MARKETING)

Image
When I owned my podiatry business in Cairns, I decided I was going to open a second location in Mackay, which was approximately 800 kilometres away. The reason I chose this location was that I wanted to determine if my business in Cairns was successful because I had developed great business systems and marketing strategies, or was it because of my reputation as a podiatrist.  Used My Time Wisely I'm pleased to say the business was a roaring success and it proved that my systems and marketing strategies were right, but one thing I learnt when I set up this business was about creating a buzz before the door opening on day one. Because Mackay was 800 kilometres away, I would stay for two or three days each trip. There was not a lot I could do during the construction phase, so I decided to use my time wisely by visiting local professional referrers and local business operators (coffee shops, florists, shoe stores, etc.) I also talked with each tradesperson about the new busin...
