THIS ISSUE'S MESSAGE

"Conformity to Group Norms"
Excerpts from 1,001 Killer Internet Marketing Tactics by Mark Joyner,
CEO, Aesop.Com
There was an interesting test conducted in 1935 where groups
of people were herded into a dark room to look at a pinpoint of light.
They were all asked to determine whether or not the light was moving.
The test subjects did not know this, but there is an interesting
phenomenon called the Autokinetic effect. That is where a solitary
dot of light in a darkroom appears to move even if stationary. This
occurs when there is no frame of reference.
Subjects were asked to look at it by themselves and then together
with a group. Each time they had to determine whether or not the
light was moving.
The amazing discovery was that the judgment of any individual was
dependent upon the judgment of the group. Interestingly, subjects
would change their judgment to conform to the group's judgment
when asked to look at it a second time.
After that portion of the experiment was over, the test subjects were
asked to make a final judgment. Subjects almost exclusively
retained the opinion of the group over their own! This fact has
powerful potential for marketing. Can you imagine a few ways to
apply this to your campaigns?
Keeping in mind that people like to agree with other people, what
can you do to your site to encourage people to think favorably about
your products and services? I have one word for you:
T-e-s-t-i-m-o-n-i-a-l.
A testimonial is an extremely powerful tool and should never be
overlooked. If you don't have a few good testimonials about your
product or service on your site right now, immediately take steps
to do so. This can have a dramatic effect on your visit to sale
ratio.
Use the following guidelines and I promise you will have a winner
every time:
1. Ensure the testimonial is believable. If it sounds too far-fetched
it will take away credibility rather than add it.
2. Include as much info about the person who said it as you can.
Don't just say "a satisfied customer said" or "J. Smith from
Texas
said". No one will believe that.
3. Never make the testimonial up. Not only is it illegal and just
outright un-cool, I can assure you what you make up will not have
a believable feel to it. Unless you're just that good.
Please! Do this now! I know you're thinking to yourself "well,
that's
a spanking good idea! I'll have to do that when I'm done balancing
my books and preparing my taxes." Odds are, if you don't do this
right now, you probably won't at all. So, take a few moments to find
a few customers who are happy with what you've done for them
and ask if you can quote them on your site. Make sure they know
that it equates to free exposure for them and you will almost always
get a "yes".

QUOTES To Get You Thinking

Let us realize that: the privilege to work is a gift,
the power to work is a blessing,
the love of work is success!
David O. McKay
It isn't what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or
what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy.
It is what you think about.
Dale Carnegie
Somewhere, something incredible is waiting to be known
Carl Sagan
Looking back, may I be filled with gratitude;
Looking forward, may I be filled with hope;
Looking upward, may I be aware of strength;
Looking inward, may I find peace.......

>From The Mouths Of Babes
------------------------
My wife invited some people to dinner. At the table,
she turned to our six-year-old daughter and said,
"Would you like to say the blessing?"
"I wouldn't know what to say," she replied.
"Just say what you hear Mommy say," my wife said.
Our daughter bowed her head and said: "Dear Lord,
why on earth did I invite all these people to dinner?"
