Business MembershipBy far the best bang for your buck when targeting the Real Estate Professional for your

product or service in the Kansas City Metro would be a Business Membership with Mid-

America Association of Real Estate Investors.

The business membership includes all the access to our website and all the discounts

that our Standard Investor Membership. However, unlike the Investor Membership that

is for the person, the Business Membership follows the Business. So as a Business you

receive two guest passes to every monthly meeting (20+ meetings a year) that can be

used by the same two people or interchanged among several people each month.

Advertise in our Newsletter

Also included in a Business Membership is an advertisement in our monthly newsletter,

the Investment News. This is published once a month and posted on our website, our

social media pages, several online file sharing sites and emailed out to our 5000+ data-

base. You can see our latest Newsletters Online at: http://mareinet.com/resources/

newsletter/.

Advertise on our Website

Our website has a Service Provider Section that provides you with a home on our website

where you can create a full page advertisement of your choosing and link it to your web-

site. Some examples of ad pages might include: a photograph, two or three short para-

graphs, an embedded video, contact information and a sign up page for your product or

service. We can make it as elaborate or as simple as you would like. See our current

Service Provider Page: http://mareinet.com/library/service-providers/

Host a Vendor TableWhile you can do all the advertising in the world in our Newsletter and on our Website,

meeting members face to face at our monthly meetings allows you to get face to face

with the members, build rapport and explain your product or service in person. To help

you facilitate the face to face interaction, we have Vendor Tables available for a fee from

6:00 to 7:00 before each meeting. These can be reserved for $25 for one night or $50

for 3 different nights. A Business Membership includes 3 free annually. Available on a

first-come first-served basis.

Market YOUR Business

1. Become a student of your business.

Study your customer, your competitors, and trends in the industry.You need to have a goal in this stage of top ten tips to become an ex-

pert in your business so you how your customers think. You will find

that when you are the expert it will be easier to know what your cus-

tomer wants, how to give it to them and how to share your product

with them.

2. Get some outside advice

Find a friend or associate who is outside of your business and have

them place themselves in their customers shoes. Work with them to

find at least 10 new ways to promote your business. You want the in-

put from someone outside of your business because, sometimes you

are just too close and need to get some fresh new outside ideas.

3. Remember not everything you do is not just to get customers

You will be doing some things to bring in new clients and some things

to keep current clients. You will also be taking steps to build a good

reputation and credibility with your potential clients, so that when they

are in the market for your product or service they will remember that

YOU are the expert in that area.

4. You dont have to do it yourself

There are numerous different marketing tactics. Work the ones you

enjoy, but if there is one you just hate, skip it and work on the others.

Or better yet, hire someone to do it.

5. You do have to do it

Most small businesses are awesome at offering the product or service.

They may not be so good at or excited about the marketing of that

product or service. Ideally if you ask any small business coach you

should be spending about 30% of your time marketing your business.

6. Start with one Marketing Method

Select one way to market your business that you are comfortable with,

implement it, systematize it. Then add another one, get it working well

and on a system. Then add another till you have at several marketing

methods that are continually generating new business.

7. Follow Up

Most small business owners are great at following up on a business lead

that is going to give them business right now. For example a client

calls a contractor to ask them to do a bid for a rehab job. But not

many follow just to build a relationship with that person who may be

your next customer or who may refer you a lot of business.

8. Get a Marketing Buddy

Remember marketing it like meeting that New Years Resolutionyou

work really hard the first week and then let it slack off more and more

till you have to get in to summer clothes and you have another heavy

week of activity. Instead get a buddy and work with them to determine

a marketing plan for the next week for both of you. Then hold each

other accountable.

9. Scripts and Systems

It always helps to know exactly step by step what you are going to do

and say in your marketing. You may want to check with in your indus-try if there are training materials that can help you know what to say .

. . scripts . . . that you can practice till you know exactly what to say

when. And create a system for each step of the way.

10. Schedule it

You need to embrace your scheduler. Mark off blocks of time that add

up to about 30% of your work week, just for marketing activities.

When you are first starting out it may be more than 30%, but as you

perfect your techniques you may find ways to automate some tasks and

save time.
