Is There an Internetsphere?
2009/10/08 1:36 AM
All this thinking about how far I have come in my “internetsphere” (did I just create a new word?) has of course made me dive further into it all.
I don’t know if many of you are aware of the new fangled “Launch” that is all the rage now in getting customers to purchase from you on-line by creating the KNOW, LIKE, & TRUST factor. In other words, they need to know who you are, like you, and trust you before they will purchase from you. When you think about it, it totally makes sense.
I am actually in the middle of one of these launches right now with my accessory company Simply Sarah. These launches involve a lot of psychology and marketing expertise, and to be honest, I have someone assisting me in all this as I am still learning. All I know is that I have learned so much MORE about my customers from simply asking them questions! Who knew right?
I never thought about asking my customers questions to find out useful information about them! It really just never occurred to me……. and now that I have, I can honestly say that I know (in all certainly) that I am giving them some special deals they really desire, and will purchase.
If you want to get to know your customers better – kick out a great survey and see what comes back to you…………you might be pleasantly surprised!
The whole idea is to survey your customers to find out what they want and the give it to them. The questions you want to ask them are these two. You can reword them to fit your product line.
a. What’s your biggest obstacle/frustration in BLANK right now?
b. If you could ask me any question about BLANK, what would it be?
If you do throw a survey at them, let me know how it turns out.
This Know, Like, and Trust Factor is also why I have been pushing you so much with your social media outlets. You all know by now that I am super into all the FREE stuff that is available on line now……..use it or loose it!

Pitch holiday gift guides
The time is approaching to pitch holiday gift guides over the next 6-8 weeks.
I know, I know, it’s only June, but Holiday Gift Guide submissions are starting now…….so get on it sister, as it will end in July.
This can be a great way to get into magazines that might be more challenging for you in the “everyday” editorial world.
Gift guides often put in items that appeal to their audience, but might not have a good place in the monthly magazines.
Magazines try to appeal to a broad audience with the holiday gift guides, so I would suggest being bold about your choices. Here is what you’ll want to do…

Once they created their own designs, getting products to celebrities and the media was not too difficult and the brand quickly took off. Leveraging the media exposure, they were able to build an online business that has donated over 1 million pair of glasses to those in need.

How to know if you have a hero or a zero by testing your product before you invest heavily in producing it. Don't keep it a secret, show it to get feedback.Did I ever share that my Grandmother made this coat for JFK Jr.? Jackie was a frequent shopper in her store in New York City.

Join me and Lisa Ascolese, The Inventress for an enlightening episode on how to think more broadly about your product line so that you can get into more stores and more magazines. In this episode we share ideas on how to think differently about your line. For example, if you make a skincare line and have a serum or oil based product, consider pitching to mountain resorts where the air is dryer and women need more moisture in the products they purchase.You can take this idea a step further by pitching to wellness magazines and local magazines (in the resort town) as they are always looking for products that solve a problem. Many creators think to narrowly and don’t see a bigger pitch for themselves. Take a look at your line and see how you can spin it into a new category, or a new sales channel.
