I must admit, I still haven’t figured this out. Last week I spoke to a former salesman. The marketing methods he described were focused on persuasion. I was a little disgusted by his marketing tactics. There is no reason to be borderline deceitful. Shouldn’t a great product be able to sell itself?
Unfortunately the answer is no. So I decided to research honest marketing strategies.
As I fell down the rabbit hole of marketing strategy websites like Alice in Wonderland, I realized the 80 20 principle was true. Thankfully, I did land on a few golden nuggets of honest affordable marketing tools.
Fiverr.com offers a plethora of honest affordable marketing strategies. Although Impact and Wordstream are expensive, they were thoughtful enough to post very informative blogs.
Our family recipe blossomed into an e-commerce personalized gourmet gift shop. Therefore, the goal is to grow this company to provide a safe working environment for disabled veterans, former inmates, and all others who need a second chance.
I’d rather take the thousands of dollars marketers charge and invest it in changing lives…….wouldn’t you?
