Are you setting your promotions apart?

  • Sharebar

Yesterday was a long day for me. My son had a tumor removed from his head so I spent all day at Hershey Medical Center. Looks like everything went very well so despite being a very long day it was a good one.

When I got home last night I went right to the Thursday night conference at Get Referrals Fast where my partner, Jerry Reeder was doing a seminar on standing out during a launch.

As most of our members of Get Referrals Fast use traffic exchanges we used the launch on Tuesday of TE Command Post and how we differentiated our offer from the 100 other jv partners that were promoting it.

You can see exactly what we did and how we did it on the blog post I did about TE Command Post on launch day.

We used a video walk through of the features and created a very unique bonus for those that upgraded through our links. It did a couple of things.

We showed the value of the service with the video and gave people a reason to get it from us rather than the other people promoting it. We bought a domain and set up a special page to highlight our offer.

These are not new techniques but taking the time to actually do them makes a big difference in how to set yourself apart. Especially during launches this is extremely important.

Here is another example from my friend Joel Osborne. I just released a new product on Wednesday – Profitable Blog Steps. One of the swipe emails I created for my launch partners talked about the old adage How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.

Joel took that a step further and I recommend you go see what he did. His promotion is below.

Subject: Mike, watch out for those angry pink elephants… from Joel Osborne

How do you eat a pink elephant Mike?

Oddly enough, I have an answer to that in a short video…

Whether you are trying to eat an elephant or if you
are trying to set up an affiliate blog to make some sales,
there are some important things to keep in mind.

Enjoy :)

Don’t worry if you don’t have a lot of time right now,
the video is very short, but feel free to bookmark and share it.

Do you think his promotion stood out from the other affiliates promoting Profitable Blog Steps?

It is important to do things that set you apart in your promotions.
