Is anyone familliar with Martin Lindström? He's in the field of branding and marketing and in his books he analyzes what makes people buy specific products and prefer specific brands.

In one of his books, Buyology (http://www.amazon.com/Buyology-Truth-Lies-About-Why/dp/0385523890/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1346762504&sr=8-1&keywords=buyology) he makes the point that horrific images on cigarette packs seems to actually have the opposite effect. I'd be really interested to find out what effect a cigarette package displaying ONLY horrific images would have on consumer consumption.

yes, they do this in whole foods to make it smell like fresh bread and lots and lots of other places (why chain stores always smell the same).

If interested, you should read Buyology by Martin Lindstrom if you are interested in more of the subject of how marketers mess with your perceptions.

I just finished Buy-ology: Truth and lies about why we buy by Martin Lindstrom over the weekend. Read it for a marketing course and really enjoyed it.

Not sure what I'll read next. I've got a few books piled up somewhere in my house though.

Marketing in itself is a skill. It takes time to learn how to market efficiently and effectively. Of course I'll provide you with some tips to help you.

First off, NETWORK! Talk with people and tell them what you do. Start with friends and family. Those friends and family will hopefully tell their friends and family, and then so on and so forth. Get your name just out there.

Social media is a great way to market and get your brand recognized. Run accounts under your brand name and post frequently. With it a blog always works great. Talk about your life, stuff you've learned, stuff your learning, a "How-to" post, it doesn't matter blog.

To go more on the active side of marketing, the best way is to CONTACT DIRECTLY. Create a list of businesses that represent you and ones that you would want to provide your services for. Get contact info with each business, a spreadsheet would work nicely here, including their email, phone number, address etc. The best way I would say is to email them. Talk about your services and maybe offer a discount if they do decide to work with you and use your services. Don't pester them, but contact them again if they don't answer. Just DON'T over do it.

A little tidbit, you're not selling "Web Design services" pur se, but rather you're selling the consumer a new business out reach and marketing approach. You're selling them a chance to grow their business, and if they pay you, they will profit.

Marketing again is a skill, and one that's good to learn. I'd advice learning how to market. Whether it be through a class, a book, or online resources.

I hope this helps! :)

It doesn't work. If anything it adds to the pleasure. (https://www.amazon.com/Buyology-Truth-Lies-About-Why/dp/0385523890)
