I think it’s going to be an interesting film. The teaser left me wanting more, I don’t know if it’s an alien movie or a monster movie but either way with Abrams directing and Spielberg producing, I’m sure it’ll be a great film. I thought Cloverfield was pretty great (especially on the big screen) but I think this film is going to be great.

I don’t have any information. The movie is extremly secret, all we know is that a train and truck collide, an explosion occurs, and “something” in the train.

A plot, a cast… Nothing has been revealed. They are very hush hush up until when it comes out.

I just know it isn’t coming out until Summer 2011.

I would begin with the basics:

1. Branding – logo and business card very important the logo will determine if people want to be associated with your salon or brand
2. Get yourself an on-line on all the directories specific to your location things like freeindex, yell, thompson
3. Create yourself a facebook/linked in account specific to your business – show off your work there, get customer quotes on there recommendations etc try and get as many quotes from your customers you need to keep this consistent and monitor what people are saying etc make friends with your clients on these sites
4. Website does not have to be huge site but make it slick, easy on the eye get a good logo done make sure the site is reflective of how you feel the quality of your products are …services, opening times, seasonal special offers, customers book online??…selling products, advice,
5. Direct marketing…you can either buy data from a data agency or sift for it online we are not talking about 000’s of pounds here but more like 16p per record try and get contact address email phone (mobile preferably). Also for your existing customers to ensure you keep them get them to fill out a satisfaction card after each purchase. Also the type of data you can get especially if you are targeting children go directly to their schools and advertise via them
6. Association – maybe with a complimentary business where if they send anybody over to you they get a % off and vice versa but remember this association need to be specific to your business and should complement what you do
7. Advertising on local websites, magazines newspapers etc….i’m not a big fan of this especially for small businesses as i find it very costly with not the same return. Radio advertising is good but again find the radio station specific to your audience

The purpose of doing any marketing is to deliver an integrated campaign targeting customers from a number of angles to give you awareness and leads so this will enforce you message and your brand which will then give you consistent leads…. Remember nothing happens over night and you need to be consistent with your marketing to ensure a successful marketing campaign. The intensity and frequency of your marketing will be determined by how busy you are if you are full then you don’t need to do a lot look at just awareness building and customer retention on your existing customers to protect them from your competitors and if you are at that stage then word of mouth which should be your most powerful tool is kicking in. They key thing to remember is that your core competence needs to be consistently good to ensure your marketing works…and marketing has a habit of biting back where people are not delivering on what they promise on their marketing.

Reputation is imperative if you stay on top of your game and stay in tune with the latest developments in the industry and are consistently improving your skill levels then your customers will not want to go anywhere else.

If you look at the above process and start your planning using the framework i have detailed you can still be moving with the key points i have specifically highlighted for your business they will form the crux of your marketing other elements may come from your research and planning not all the points need to be implemented look at the timing and look at the budget. Also ask your customers how do they prefer to be communicated with that should narrow down your marketing effort.

Look http://paid2click.cybershimla.com and Advertise your website there.

I found there website through an article that specifically listed they as a good website that sells high quality traffic. I purchased 5,000 visitors to my website, and noticed the difference before I even checked my logs! I am so glad that I finally found a way to market my website that can be done quickly. I know how important SEO is, but they have to promote in other ways too. I know I’ve found a working method!

I just wanted to say how impressed I was with there service. My campaigns were set up promptly and delivered as promised. I was impressed with the results as well. I purchased traffic for two of my websites and I received over 1450 signups for the first website and over 1030 signups for the second. (That’s less than $0.01 a lead! Try finding that elsewhere!).

There advertising works great. I’m using a direct landing page for my campaign and have been tracking every ad. A very high amount of visitors have been browsing my site and my conversion rates have gone up..

Ever since I began advertising with Quality Traffic Supply, my sales have greatly increased. Since I now have a steady source of traffic which is targeted to my content, I now get a good return on investment. There traffic has worked wonders for me. I buy about 5,000 visitors a month to split up between my 2 websites, and for every $10 I spend there I bring in another $30!
