Tip: Building Customer Base from Myspace Friends

Are you noticing when your myspace friends are having their birthdays? You should be! This is one way to market your business and bring in new customers. Give your myspace friends a birthday gift in the form of a discount to use at your online store! This is a great idea whether you offer a product or a service, you can make it work!

Make it special- Create a code with their name or something that relates to them.

Expiration Date- You want a quick turnaround, give them a couple of weeks to make their decision.

Hard To Refuse Discount- Offer an amazing discount! I do mean amazing, not 10-15%. Be strategic, you are operating a business.

Extras- I know, you already gave a significant discount! Hey, this is the name of the game, you are trying to build up your customer base. If your business is tangible products, put a few extras in their order. If your business is a service, go the extra mile.

Follow-Up & Invite- Make sure everything was up to par and invite your myspace friend to join your mailing list.

So now you should be proud of yourself. You have helped your myspace friend splurge and you gained a happy customer, who will more than likely tell their friends and family!
