Use Free Information to Market Your Product |
|
How do you keep reminding potential buyers of your product? There are
many ways to do this: advertising, promotional products, special events
and many others. One inexpensive way to remind your potential buyers
of your product is free information.
Free information can come
in many forms: tips sheets, ways to solve problems, advice, websites or
newsletters. Not every product lends itself to marketing with free
information, but there are many products that do.

Inventor Story: Paula Milgrom
Paula Milgrom was hospitalized in 2004 with a blood clot. While
walking around the hospital in her hospital gown while pulling an IV
pole, she felt the need for a little more modesty. She set out to
design a hospital grown that was medically feasible that still provided
the coverage she wanted.

in a favorable light or be turned off because they think you are out
there to make a quick buck just because it's a popular initiative at
the moment?
Come and find out...
