Street Marketer Who Recently Came to My Door Selling
Cleaning Liquid
Not long ago I purchased a coupon package
for a local car wash. The car wash offered
me several
free washes, carpet cleaning, upholstery cleaning, and even an engine cleaning
for only $25. I knew that I needed to get my
car cleaned and I figured I could make
my money
back in only two visits to the car wash. I bought it.
What are the Benefits of One-on-One Community-Based
Street Marketing?
Weve already mentioned how effective street marketing
is because it cuts through the marketing
clutter. But perhaps the biggest advantage is that it is extremely effective at driving customers to the local establishment sponsoring the campaign.
Think about it. Once you purchase a $25 set of coupons for a service,
youre going to use that service to get a return on your dollar. So, in
essence, its more effective to sell
your coupons than it is to give them away
as free gifts.
Another benefit is that when a new customer carries the coupon into the establishment and presents it to the service person, it acts as a flag to
the business to give that new customer(s)
the red carpet treatment. When your new customer has a great experience, they will come back again.
Who Walks the Street and Sells your Offer Door-to-
Door?
A good college student that needs extra cash is a great candidate for
street marketing. Depending on how
you arrange the deal with your marketers,
the person doing the door knocking can keep up to 100% of the profit! How good
is that?
For instance, lets assume you
were selling a dry cleaner coupon pack to residents for $20
and your closing ratio was 30% (not unreasonable for street marketers).
It takes your street marketer one
hour to hit ten houses in which people are home.
As the street marketer, you close
three of the ten houses and pocket $60. I dont know of one single college
student that wouldnt knock doors for $60 an hour.
