Entrepreneurs know the importance of a targeted small business marketing strategy. Many make the mistake of doing what big advertisers do. Rock icon Meat Loaf is in a great commercial but the product and company selling it are easily forgotten. Learn a lesson on how not to advertise

Remember Meat Loaf (born Michael Lee Aday)? His album Bat Out of Hell, released in 1977, has sold nearly 40,000,000 copies and was on the charts for over 9 years. He is also featured in a new commercial that is running pretty frequently on TV.

The ad features Meat Loaf as a dad whose son is begging him to get him a cell phone. He’s singing about how he won’t run up the minutes. Personally, I am a fan of Meat Loaf and I like the commercial. He includes some lyrics and riffs from Paradise by the Dashboard Light, which I’ve always thought was a cool tune.

The other afternoon, I heard the commercial and started singing the tune in my head and realized I had seen the commercial several times and could not think of the company or brand of the phone! Now, I’m thinking this was a fairly expensive production because in addition to Meat Loaf, Tiffany is in the commercial and they are probably fairly expensive talent to hire.

After all of this expense, I couldn’t relate a brand or a product to the commercial! I kept an eye out for the next airing and saw it was for the AT&T GoPhone. Think of all the money spent on the ad. They did a lot of things right like using celebrity endorsements, a good tune and an entertaining spot. But it really made me wonder, why couldn’t I think of the company or the product?

What could you do differently if were considering a similar TV ad as one of your primary small business marketing tools ? For one thing, a bit more focus on the product instead of the production. You could easily think of special offers that would give prospects a reason to buy soon. I’ll bet a contest to have dinner with Meat Loaf or win a free “Bat Out of Hell” concert DVD would attract buyers. You would have a tracking mechanism to see how many inquiries and sales were generated. What if they had a toll free number, 1-800-MeatLoaf, to call and get a special offer and find out how to download the song to iTunes or even a ring-tone? The marketing folks could track response and the ROI on the ad. What if there were a contest to be in a commercial with Meat Loaf?

But instead, the focus was all on creativity and entertainment. I’ll bet the ad will even win an award but I still think ads should be written to sell the product now, not build a brand or win awards. My guess is that you can’t afford Meat Loaf in your ads but remember, when you do advertise, it’s about making money, not building your brand. Brands don’t put food on the table, sales do. When you spend money on marketing, either do it yourself of find a professional whose goal is to increase your profits and is willing to guarantee results, not just earn a commission.

The commercial may not be on TV too long but you can catch it on www.youtube.com. Search for Meat Loaf AT&T. This version is a 90 second commercial that does a better job of naming the product than the spot on TV but it still could have soooo much more potential as a source of REVENUE instead of a brand. When you think about branding as a strategy, ask yourself if you want to get your name out there or sell as much of you product or service as possible and build a strong and loyal customer list as quickly as possible.

For the small business marketing tools to add to your toolbox, go ahead and think about branding. However, your brand needs to be strong and you should strengthen it with incredible products and service or with your Unique Selling Proposition. Build your brand using marketing that creates prospects and leads. It is just as expensive to get your name out there with a compelling offer and reason for a client to buy from you now as it is to just get your name out there. The difference is the ROI. The Meat Loaf commercial offers no way to measure the ROI and small businesses can’t afford to throw scarce marketing dollars up against the wall and guess at the ROI.

Here is a powerful small business marketing tip when it comes to a brand-building strategy: If your financial planner came to you with an idea to spend ,000 on marketing as an investment, you’d think, “What will my return be?because she is a trusted advisor. Use the same standards with your marketing, advertising and media reps. Ask the question: “What is my projected return and how does it compare to other marketing investments?When the rep tells you the value of impressions, ask for some statistics from other advertisers regarding the ROI of the ads and spots they are running?

After you watch the YouTube video, see if you can help me out. Why is Tiffany holding a leg of lamb when she enters the commercial set? Maybe there is some reference I don’t remember from Meat Loaf’s earlier days. He was quite a theatrical talent!

Entrepreneurship is the profession of the twenty-first century. Technology and globalization has made it possible for anybody with a good business idea to start multimillion dollar companies with nothing more than a computer and an internet connection. Many of the barriers to entry are facilitated with business loans, international suppliers, affiliate marketing, and cheap communication thanks to the internet.

What many entrepreneurs fail to do correctly is choose their market before they get too excited about their product. The graveyard of failed businesses is overloaded with ideas for incredible products that nobody wanted. The best tip an entrepreneur can take to heart is to do market research first and choose the demographics for your business before you invest time and money into a product or service.

Another important tip is how to land joint venture partners. Venture capitalists look at deals every single day from aspiring entrepreneurs, so you got to do your homework before you go begging for money. You want to have real numbers and real results to justify your projections.

No venture capitalist got rich by diving into projects that had no facts to back up the numbers. Another thing to keep in mind is that venture capitalists do not really care about how cool, new, or unique your product is. What will impress your joint venture partners are your marketing plan and your numbers. Good venture capitalists admire enthusiasm and will bring some of their own resources beyond cash into the deal.

Be prepared to fail. Do not fear failure, learn from it and try again. Persistence in the face of failure is a sure formula for success. You will never be beaten until you give up because no matter what you lack, somebody else has what you need and you can get it somehow.

Focus your energies on building systems to protect your legal status and be sure to take careful care of accounting. Many booming businesses have been busted by poor accounting or by lawsuits due to ignorance. Do not become a victim, do everything right.

The most expensive advice is bad advice, so hire only qualified professionals to counsel you. It costs less to hire a lawyer or a certified public accountant to get you set up than to hire them later to try and fix your mess. The most important aspect is to build a business you can resell. Do not become the business.

Outsource whatever you can because your most precious asset should be your time. Make sure you use your time building the system and not doing the business yourself. Many small businesses succeed but are unable to cash out of their business because they do it all themselves.

Seek the benefits of a small business with the power of a big business by keeping your resources and expenses low but your profit margin high. Never outsource your managing, however, since nobody will ever manage your business as well as you will. Maintain the power for all business decisions, especially the ability to write checks for the company

So, you’ve decided to start a home based business. Congratulations! and welcome to the fast-paced world of entrepreneurship. While there is a lot to learn, your effort will be worth it. The thrill of growing your business, the freedom and flexibility to set your own hours, and the possibilities of ever-increasing financial rewards are all wonderful reasons to start your home based business.

Now that you’ve decided to start your business, you might be wondering “How can I get it off to the strongest possible start?” These seven tips will help:

1) Set up a separate working space in your home. It doesn’t matter if this is a small bedroom, one part of the garage, or a corner of the living room. The important thing is to have some space that you can designate as your working area. This will give you the space and room you need to craft your dream.

2) Stock your working space with materials. This sounds basic, perhaps, but one underlying element of success is that you have easy access to the tools, materials, and other resources you need. Gathering everything close by also keeps you from wasting time searching for it, so this step can be considered a time management strategy, too.

3) Speaking of time management, your third step is to define the parameters of your business. What days and hours will you work? When will you market? When will you provide services or products to clients? How will you keep all of this straight?

4) Balance action with planning. One of the most common pitfalls to successful entrepreneurship is getting too caught up in action without enough planning. Stated another way, this means that you confuse “being busy” with “working on important projects.” The best approach is to plan your next couple of goals and then work backwards to create step by step action plans to reach them. Once you have the plan, then it’s time to take the action.

5) Network like crazy. One of the fastest ways to grow any business is to make connections with other people. Be sure to share your passion and enthusiasm with others at every opportunity. Let people know who you are and what you offer. Remember, people can’t buy if they don’t know you’re selling.

6) Present a professional image. If you want to be treated professionally, present a professional image. Set up a separate bank account for your business. Install a separate phone and fax line. Create professional marketing materials. Be courteous and pleasant in all your customer facing interactions. Basically, be someone people want to do business with.

7) Automate your business as much as possible. Granted, you are just one person (right now) and might have a lot of extra time to take care of all the details. This might work for now, but won’t work into the future as you get busier and busier. It’s best to set up automatic systems and processes right from the start to free up your time to concentrate on the most profitable activities.

These seven tips will get your home business started (and growing) in the right direction.

Do you desire to own a thriving business with which you can support you and your family? Do you envision the time when you have countless customers and profits through the roof? Maybe you see yourself at the top of a chain of stores scattered across the country. No matter how big you plan to be, you would be wise to start small and grow at a steady pace.

While you probably think it would be great to start off big if you have the funds to do so, resist this urge since this might be the worst thing that could happen to you. When you start out small and grow at a steady pace, you acquire the wisdom and inside knowledge that cannot be learned from books or taught in the classroom. There is simply no other way to get this information; you must gain it from actual experience.

Starting small also teaches you how to make important decisions correctly, while at the same time, preventing you from being penalized too severely for making the wrong ones. If you start out big, you will be too busy running things to learn what you really need to know and you will make some terrible and costly decisions, simply because you did not know any better.

Large companies frequently lose out on opportunities because they are used to doing things a certain way and become, over time, reluctant to change. You, as a small businessperson, will not have this problem and with your intense desire to grow your business, you will be constantly on the lookout for these opportunities.

For small business, change is the name of the game. Your ability to adapt to changing conditions will be the difference between success and failure. Large, and even medium size businesses have a difficult time adapting to this change.

Another benefit to starting small and growing steady is that the customers who are with you when you start out often feel a personal stake in your well being and are more likely to continue to patronize your business as long as you provide them value. They will link your progress with their own and there is no more valuable a point-of-view from a customer than when they think of you as a part of their own life.

The starter’s pistol has gone off, the rest of the field has taken off, and you’re still frozen in a kneeling position, head down and bracing for the race to begin. As your fellow competitors race to the finish line, you rise slowly and try to convince yourself that this race was not really for you. You console yourself by saying that the risks were too great and ask yourself such self-doubting questions as, “What if I had fallen?” or “What if I’d started and couldn’t finish?” and “Who was I kidding? I had no business even thinking about entering that race.” Starting a business is very much like running a race: Preparation and practice are key success factors. The following 10 tips, framed in the context of getting physically prepared for a race, might help you overcome the hurdles that entrepreneurs are sure to encounter on the road to startup.

1. “Pump” up your attitude. Think positive. Think of the optimistic outcomes and find a way to stay focused on your goal of starting a business. Put negative thoughts and self-doubt about your abilities and your potential aside, and surround yourself with energetic and supportive people. Even without realizing it, you may be dampening your own enthusiasm, procrastinating and eventually sabotaging your own efforts because of your self-doubts. Stop second-guessing yourself and, at all costs, stay away from negative people who are just waiting for you to trip and fall and watch your start-up fail.

2. “Rejuvenate” your affiliations. Your goal is to connect with people who want to support you and are willing to help you in the lean times. Affiliate with others who are in similar stages of startup and are also trying to build their own businesses. Find new alliances by joining professional and civic organizations and seeking out successful people you want to model. Locate organizations in your own community where other entrepreneurs get together and support each other–your local chamber is a great place to start. These affiliations can not only lead to advice and networking connections, but are a great source of potential clients.

3. “Firm” up your future. Assess and mitigate the risks. Risks can only become surprises if you avoid honest self-evaluation up front. Keep in mind that risks can’t be mitigated if they’re not acknowledged therefore do all the legwork required to shore up your plans ahead of time. As you create your plans, consider both your short-term and long-term goals. Think about business growth and all the ramifications of your need for cash or talent to help you grow. Contact an expert at your local Small Business Development Center to review your plans with you. Have someone help you with your pro-forma financials to make sure your cash flow will remain adequate to execute your dream.

4. “Flex” your creative muscles. Think creatively about how you’ll get your products in front of people. Think about imaginative ways you can tip the scales in your favor. Start a “Creativity Cluster” of others who are looking for new and innovative ideas to bring products to market or get their ideas out into the marketplace. Get inspired by reading about creative and innovative companies and how they’ve succeeded, and learn about the practices that differentiate them from others. Keep thinking about new ways to do things that will keep your organization efficient.

5. “Supplement” your credentials. Work with advisors and small-business centers to add to your knowledge and skill set. You might have an excellent idea and may be really skilled in one or two areas but, like all of us, have some blind spots. Although entrepreneurs are known to multitask really well, they’ll readily admit there are pieces of the business they hate. Investigate your local community colleges to see if they offer entrepreneurship classes for business owners. Local organizations also sometimes schedule classes and workshops designed to help you supplement your credentials in the areas of marketing, budgeting, funding, technology, operations and financial management. If you’re not reading business journals, you’re also missing opportunities to increase your knowledge. Also think about forming a small business advisory group of experts in those areas where their knowledge can supplement your own.

6. “Buff and polish” your ideas. Like most of us, you’ve probably scribbled an idea down and then lost the paper you might have written it on, only to hear later about some other business owner executing “your” idea. A great way to refine your great ideas and really flesh them out is to write them down in a place where you can find them at any given moment. There’s no time like the present to start your “startup journal.” This can either be in the form of a good old spiral-bound notebook or something more sophisticated. There are any number of tools on the market that will help you keep track of important notes and milestones as you move forward and develop your ideas. These ideas can eventually be rolled up into your business plan, which will become the roadmap for your business.

7. “Reshape” your perspective. As you begin writing down your thoughts and ideas, don’t give up just because you find you need to make changes. This is normal! As a future successful entrepreneur, you can’t afford to become functionally fixed on any one way of doing things. Factors influencing your decisions, including the environment, new technology, your budget or your time, are always shifting, and you might find you’ll have to tweak your ideas to make them work. It may be that you’d been looking at one market segment and now realize that for whatever reason, you might want to focus on a new target market. This does not mean giving up–it means reshaping your perspective.

8. “Align” your dreams with reality. Discovering and clarifying what you really want to do as an entrepreneur is key to your future success. If you don’t know what you love to do, then your dreams should remain just that–dreams. Successful people do what they love. Dreaming about owning your own business but not exploring who you are and what you love to do won’t help you move closer to the reality of successful entrepreneurship. Let’s say your dream is to start an organizing business. But then you find out that there are several competitors in your region. This doesn’t mean you should abandon the idea–it means you need to think creatively about your marketing plan and how you plan to differentiate your business from the competition.

9. “Chart” your performance. Keeping track of your individual successes and milestones is fundamental to your overall success. So set goals for yourself and your business, and chart your progress. Revisit your plans to make sure you’re on target. If you’re not, evaluate why and make corrections to get back on track. Many business owners forget the importance of setting measurable goals against which to benchmark progress and modifying those goals based on real-life performance.

10. “Map” the future. The results of several recent studies show that people who write down their goals are much more likely to achieve them and that people who visualize success have a better chance of actually being successful. The success of your business depends on preparation, practice and planning. Create a vision for what your company should look like, and create a map to get there. The great thing about the map is that although it doesn’t guarantee where you’ll end up, it gives you the courage to start the journey.

As an entrepreneur you know how important it is to emphasize the uniqueness of your company whenever possible. Only very few consumers are interested in the choice of a generic product or service, after all. We are almost always the option of circling the most striking or memorable’s. There are many ways to make your company unique: a unique pricing system, a unique niche in the market, a product or a service that can not be easily imitated. If your business is running, you will certainly know all about the core business strategies.

What’s harder is figuring out how to use the uniqueness of your company to generate useful (and often free) advertising.

advertising is no longer as a strong force in today’s market place. Consumers are more skeptical than ever advertiser self-serving messages, and led the sheer volume of advertising messages in a drastic decline in advertising effectiveness. We spend more and more on advertising but getting less and less return on investment.

What is the alternative to advertising (and the basis of branding is)? Advertising or PR. With advertising, you tell your story through third-party outlets, primarily the media. Rightly or wrongly, people believe what they read in newspapers and magazines, as well as what they hear on the radio, on television, or by their neighbors. Sun PR is inherently more credible and persuasive than advertising. It’s also a lot cheaper!

But how do you make your business memorable, and get the kind of advertising, which will result in new business? Here are a dozen simple things you try, good word-of-mouth to create about your company and you can increase your profits:

1 Submit regular press releases to trade publications, the business section of local newspapers, newswires, etc., to the starting or relocating your business, new customers / projects, new hires, promotions, etc. (You will be announcing would be surprised how many people read this Announcements!)

2 Pitch a pre-written feature story on local newspapers (emphasis on the uniqueness of your business model, your unique personal history, your commitment to the local community, or the uniqueness of a particular project). Note, too, pitching story ideas to lifestyle magazines, your ideal customer demographic target.

3 Offer to write a regular column for a local publication that features your professional competence.

4 Development of an “Elevator Speech” and sets in a single sentence, what makes your company unique. Do not be afraid to draw attention to a particular customer or consumer focus; The narrower the focus of your brand, the more powerful it becomes.

5 Send an e-mail quarterly / print newsletters for your customers / potential customers with tips for effective use of the product or service.

6th A lecture / seminar at your local chamber of commerce or other community groups on issues related to your field. (I recently gave a talk over lunch branding, tied my local chamber, and several great contacts.)

7th Are you not just in trade groups (not to be found in fact the best place to get a new customer active), but also in more general networking organizations such as your Chamber of Commerce, city or county committees, citizens groups, etc., but only if They intend to be an active participant. Also what you can do to get support from your existing social network. Each moves with a person they know and trust and work.

8 Join a professional networking / referral group that meets weekly (like BNI).

9 Use Testimonials / success stories in all of your marketing materials.

10th Purchase a vanity license plate fascinating that alludes to your business.

11th Imagine Administrators potential national organizations: That means people in allied fields who come in regular contact with people who need an architect. The search for a friend in one of these organizations may mean that several references.

12th Troll for listservs, chat groups or other online communities where you offer your services or just to keep on, as one authority may be relevant issues.
