Sales and marketing is what makes or breaks businesses and most new entrepreneurs do not make it because they are not investing enough money and time in that area. If you are going to be in business you must do sales and marketing in some shape or form.
That is why we last weekend we sent out quite a few emails about our competition where you could win an iPad Mini by spending 60 seconds of your time. As I mentioned in at least 2 of those emails “action takers get rewarded”. Here are the numbers;
– 30 000 people were emailed 4 times.
– 120 000 emails sent out with an average opening rate of 20%
– 4500 Facebook shares
– 6000 page views of competition page
– 255 people watched competition video
– 356 people tweeted about the competition
and ONLY 30 people entered the competition!!!
What does that tell you?
Action takers get rewarded!
Congratulations to Magnus Kristiansen on winning the iPad Mini!
