1. The Magic Number - 1
Implement a "advertise 1 item at a time" motto for your advertising strategy. Does that mean you cant SELL more than one item at a time? No... but wait until AFTER the sale.
When a customer sees more than one of a product offered at unbelievably low prices, hes confused. Which one is the better deal? Which one does he prefer? These questions encourage procrastination - one of marketings greatest thieves. Instead, offer the consumer a product that compliments his purchase in a nearby display... or even at the register. Youll make extra profits instead of losing a sale.

Familiarize yourself with the needs and concerns of the niche, then present yourself as the pro in their corner. Leave your competition in the dust with the intensity of new prospects that will come your
way.
