Any Thoughts on if This Would Work?

6 replies
I was just thinking of this possible method. I am new to offline marketing for SEO and website services since Wednesday and have been trying different ways to get clients and have 2 appointments Monday already so I know that methods here on WF work! Just wanted to run this by my brethren here at WF.

What if you were to open up the Yellow Pages and find businesses that dont have websites and contact them with this: I know they have been approached by a few if not many website and seo firms and I'm sure have been hit with $1000's price tags for these sites and SEO services. (Just the 2 people I have appointments with stated $4500, $3000, and $1500 website price quotes from my competition in which I am going to quote $497 and $197 a month for SEO). Anyways, call these businesses and state you are doing a drawing for local businesses to help them in this economy by a 3 place drawing of - First Place: Free Website - Second Place: Website for $297 - And Third Place: Website for $497.

I don't know if this would work but if they're hearing $1000's from people maybe they would be interested in hearing more then you can schedule an interview or even flip it around and ask for the interview first then offer the drawing. Obviously I would stick to the drawing and actually give someone a website free it may open the door to getting several deals a week by doing several drawings.

Just a thought?????

      So if they win 2nd or 3rd place they have to pay you money in order to collect their prize.

      Why not just call them and tell them you are having a Columbus Day special?

    I would create a sale. My $1000 package includes this and this and this...but if you sign up in the month of October you get the $1000 package for $297 per month because we are having a sale.

    It sounds like a good idea but I think there are other ones already doing this, but there's never too late in online marketing for such ideas.
