In plainer language, here’s the way decoys are utilized daily during consumer experiences.

Scenario 1: You order a medium-size Pepsi at the movies for $2.75 and the person behind the counter asks, “Would you like a large for just 25 cents more?” You say, “Yes”… that’s the decoy effect.

Scenario 2: You’re sitting at the bar in an airport terminal waiting for your plane to board. As soon as you order your $7 cocktail, the bartender smiles and says, “Want a double-shot for just $2 more?” You say, “Yes”… that’s the decoy effect.

Discover the Power of “Soft Squeeze” Pages

Old ComputerIf you want to catapult your “pass-it-on” value of your free event marketing teleseminars … then it pays to consider the prospecting power of soft squeeze pages.

Most event marketers utilize the forced opt-in (“hard squeeze”) registration method to maximize list building efforts for their teleseminar events

Yet, the soft squeeze page is a fast, easy and counter-intuitive way to increase the size of your prospect list because you give the option of sampling your info product before requesting an email address.  This marketing secret is particularly effective with attracting more highly-targeted Affiliate Partner traffic.

Glossary: A “soft squeeze” page is an optional “opt-in” form best utilized as an “auto-reminder” request when promoting your free teleseminar, tele-webcast or any other “recorded live” event marketing campaign.

Learn To “Leverage” Your Marketing Productivity

BrittanyIf you want to accelerate your professional productivity (maximum results in minimum time), then you must discover the secret to “virtualizing your physical enterprise.”

The best way to “virtualize” is simply to “leverage” human activities and replace them with “robotic” or “automated” activities.

Leverage here is defined as maximum productivity with minimum effort). A great example of how one best-selling author replaced “human” effort with leveraged automation is Jack Canfield with The Success Principles.

Jack and Mark Victor Hansen have sold over 100 million Chicken Soup books over the years uti lizing the “human” effort of physical promotion and book tours.  Yet, one ”Virtual Book Tour” can sell more than 20 bookstore visits!

Glossary: “Virtualization” is the process of transforming redundant “human” multi-effort activities into single effort “virtual” results such as replacing many “physical” book tours with one Virtual Book Tour.
