Whether you spread your message on TV, through your website, by postcard or letter, or even by carrier pigeon- you must explain the REASON WHY your product is much better. And while you're at it, don't forget that your audience won't believe you unless you give the REASON WHY your claim is true. To close the sale, these two little words once again point the way. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Just give me another REASON WHY I should act today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;There you have it, clear as day. If you want to sell, here's how: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Give good reasons for these three questions—&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Why you? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Why true? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Why now? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;This little secret works like magic, for all products, in all seasons. If you want to sell like a superstar, just boldly state your reasons: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;First, the reason yours is best. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Second, a reason to believe, and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Third, a reason to act right now. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Give these and you'll receive more sales than you can imagine.

Ask if you have given REASONS WHY in each of these three areas: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Compelling reason(s) why your product is superior to others &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Compelling reason(s) to believe that your claim is true. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;color:#000000;"&gt;Compelling reason(s) to seize the opportunity today. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style="color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;When you examine the most successful examples of salesmanship-in-print, you'll find these three ‘reasons why’ in full force, which is the 'reason why' they are so profitable.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/7140861365139460950-425396208323928868?l=jlcbs.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://jlcbs.blogspot.com/feeds/425396208323928868/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=7140861365139460950&amp;postID=425396208323928868' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7140861365139460950/posts/default/425396208323928868'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/7140861365139460950/posts/default/425396208323928868'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://jlcbs.blogspot.com/2008/02/reason-why-marketing-strategy.html' title='&quot;Reason Why&quot; Marketing Strategy'/><author><name>Jayne Laughlin</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/04524491771570693873</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='29' height='32' src='http://bp3.blogger.com/_nHzxAdqjBDU/R5661ER_gCI/AAAAAAAAACc/CJTOnjF634g/S220/mama.gif'/></author><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7140861365139460950.post-7865944094057630949</id><published>2008-02-27T14:05:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2008-07-31T17:03:39.389-07:00</updated><title type='text'>Break Out Your Brushes- It's Time to Paint!</title><content type='html'>&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;What drives you nuts? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Is it the neon-colored, text-filled site you have to scroll long distances, read on and on, and still not find out what the site offers? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Is it all Flash? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;How about the site that is full of "file not found" and "under construction?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;Something that drives me nuts is a business website- (yes, I am referring to a specific site) for a company that is supposed to be among the top in their industry, claims to be a $200 million company, and spent $80k on a remake of their site only to have it look almost exactly as it did before (with the exception of a few buttons and color changes).... only now it's filled with "under construction," "file not found," and of all things.... it uses frames within the pages' content! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:arial;font-size:85%;"&gt;If that's not enough............. you still can't buy the products from the site without going on a scavenger hunt, or even peruse a store locator!
