3 Ways JV Giveaways Build Your Business

By Marilyn Parmelee http://ezinearticles.com/?expert=Marilyn_Parmelee

When you participate in these events, you are able to keep up-to-date with what others are promoting, and you'll find others in your field to create strategic alliance. At these joint ventures, there is sometimes a forum for the promoters. Even those without a forum have a promoter's profile page, where you can learn more about the promoter. Take the time to get to know the other promoters, who while having similar products or services that are directed toward the same target audience, are not in direct competition with you.
These are the ones you want to create relationships with. After you've built a relationship, you can propose an alliance and help promote each others business. This will expand both businesses more rapidly. You can also learn more about your competitors through their profile. Check out the gifts and offers they make. Use this information to discover where you can build more value for your customers. One of my favorite things about these giveaways is that you can download products for your own personal and business use. I have found greeting card software, e-cover creator software, templates and scripts. The list goes on and on. These products have helped me to keep my website and products looking professional.
Another great thing is you can download products and use them to promote your business. You can download Private Label Rights materials, articles, e-books, software, scripts, templates, etc. With these products, you can offer your customers a larger variety of products. This will allow you to spend less time and money developing new products to sell. Because you can also download products that have Resale Rights or Master Resale Rights, you can now offer your existing customers more back-end and up-sell products. This will increase your sales and profits. You'll also be able to solve your customer's problems quicker.
I had a subscriber ask me if I knew where they could get a certain product. I had noticed it in a giveaway, downloaded it and made sure my customer got it. Problem solved! You can build your own very targeted list with giveaways. You do this by the products that you offer. For instance, my business exists to help those who need a website presence, but who also need to get a web business or non profit organization up and running with free or frugal products. So in the giveaways, my target markets are those who are "newbies". Everything I offer keeps that in mind. Joint Venture Giveaways build your business in three ways. They help you find partners to form a strategic alliance, they help you to find products for your own use and for business use and they help you to build your own targeted list which helps to build your brand.
