A ‘Me-Too’ Fire Sale?

Filed under category Other / General by Khai Ng at 9:56 pm.

Fire Sales are getting popular nowadays, you get the chance to make fast money, put it together quickly and get tons of people to promote your product for a good cause. What could be better?

I’ll tell you what’s bad… it is when you turn your fire sale into a ‘me-too’ fire sale. You try and jump on the fire sale bandwagon but you do not have a completely unique concept and angle, and you try and manipulate people into donating money into your paypal account for any lame excuse.

In my opinion, I strongly believe that in order to be successful in a fire sale, you must observe the following:

  • Don’t run a fire sale for the sake of running a fire sale. If all you have are a bunch of rehased, ‘un-targeted’ products, you will only be wasting your time devaluing not only your clients, but other marketer’s patience as well. Make no mistake about it - there are already a lot of fire sales running every single year. If you do not want to be accused of being a Me-Too wannabe, then you must have products that really benefit others.
  • Also, remember not to run your fire sale with only money in mind. You must give others the opportunity to build their lists or give a good incentive why others should promote you.
  • Focus on your target market. I’ve done this myself - promoting a fire sale to a unique and targeted niche market. I’ve themed all the products that will actually be useful for the subscribers rather than a hodge-podge of old E-books. (In my country, they will call it ‘Rojak’ meaning a mixture of all kinds of food lumped into a single bowl - with tasty sauce!)
  • Having an end in mind. Yes, we all try and come up with a reason why we want to run one in the first place, but make mo mistake about it - don’t give people a lame excuse like buyinig a new fan or getting some extra cash. Of course, charity is always a good way to position your fire sale as it really tugs on the heartstrings of people.

So don’t be a ‘me-too’ fire sale junkie - be different, and be better!
