Welcome To Horse Community Marketing
The Need For Community
How To Win These Customers
Marketing Locally By Sponsoring Local Sports Programs
Welcome! Horse Community Marketing is a Newsletter dedicated to the development of Horse Community Marketing as a win win activity for horse training businesses and customers. The development and facilitation of Horse Community Marketing is one of the most important missions of the International Sports Adventure Institute of Arizona.
It is dedicated to creating a profitable economy by enabling our businesses to provide consumers in our lovely planet to experience a positive experience when shopping. Horse Community Marketing works because it provides for the interests and need of consumers at the same time it enables business to marketing their products.
Many people are not living where they grew up. In developed countries we move constantly. We have few roots where we live. Everywhere we go we are strangers. It is not our normal way. We need to be welcomed, to be made to feel okay, to have people be glad to see us. Do this in your business and create a community. It’s not that hard to give people what they want.
The things they need are inexpensive, even free. Their business can be had if you give them what they are seeking. Customers are worth a little work. The communication skills you need are very simple and easy to do. It's vital to train your employees so these consumers get the right message every time.
If you slip up once, they may never come back. They will tell everyone they know - they love to talk. You can harness this power of talk to your advantage If you are willing to make a commitment, you can win these customers. They will be loyal for life if you treat them right.
Call Dr. Cross at 602-564-9241 for information on developing this kind of marketing program.
Sports is one of the most powerful thing in most people's life. That’s why sponsoring the local soccer team, or little league or Pop Warner football can make your business successful. But it’s not enough to sponsor the team. You need to develop a Horse Community Marketing program around your sponsorship. That means a marketing plan and developing a way to capture the names of every parent of the team you support.
Strategies for Horse Community Marketing for Businesses
It’s a bottom line issue. People like to buy from people they like. They like to go where people know them, like them and make them feel they belong. They like people to call them by their name., They want to feel special. They want to be a part of a community that cares about them. Give them these things and they will make your rich.
It’s because we all love to belong to clubs. We like having membership cards. We like to be greeted by name. We like for people to be glad to see us. Remember the longest running TV show "I want to go somewhere where people know my name". We all crave that.
You can increase
sales, bring in more people by building your business as a
membership organization. Make your customers feel good about
belonging. We all desire positive feedback, positive self esteem
building words and situations. Your club gives you many chances
to interact with your customers in a friendly manner.
In the club as members, customers come to feel you value them as
persons. You give them the belonging they crave and you a lock on
their buying power. To build your business into a club means you
must learn the names and faces of your customers.
The steps you take include membership cards, photo taking, teaching your employees to build the self esteem of customers. In addition, you must truly feel that customers are wonderful and important as persons.
In each issue of Horse Community Marketing we will include a marketing calendar with 30 different marketing and business development ideas for building your business in your community. These ideas will help you create a strategic communication based Horse Community Marketing program that will build your business. If you have marketing ideas that work, feel free to send them to us for the next Marketing Calendar. We will publish your name, telephone and email along with your marketing calendar idea on our website below.

Make Friends With Everyone
You are not in competition with your fellow Businesses. When you
look at them, see them as referral partners. They are people who
can refer business to you for your mutual profit. The referral
nature of community based business makes building a community the
ultimate win-win business.
Everyone you meet is a potential buyer or seller of your product
or service. You are allowed to pay people for referring business
to you. But that doesn't mean you can't have something to give
them other than money. It could be as simple as a resource sheet
about the local community. Create your own community outreach
program you can use to give to people who give you referrals.
If you are marketing to soccer parents (soccer is the fastest growing youth sport in America) you might want to place your own ad and distribute these resources in your community. Email to Dr. Cross for information on how you can use these as marketing tools.
What will make the
customer come back again and again? What makes you go to a place?
What do you have to experience to make you keep coming back?
1. The experience must be pleasant
2. The people who you meet at the place must be friendly
3. You need to feel a sense of belonging there
4. You need to have at least someone give you eye contact
5. People must talk to you in a pleasant tone of voice
6. You need to use self esteem building words.
7. The place of business must be run like a private club for very
important person
Any business owner can offer these to customers. Just a little
bit of practice, role playing activities and training for
employees will pay off big.
What are The Bottom Line Benefits of Local Sports Marketing
Partnerships For Businesses?
Let’s take soccer for example. Soccer is the fastest growing
youth sport in North America. Here are some facts about soccer
that may make you want to get involved in creating your own
soccer community:
17, 734,000 people
participated in soccer teams in 2000 in the US,80,000 kids play
soccer in Arizona
Soccer has charged ahead of Little League Baseball as the #1
youth team sport in the country today
The average age of the soccer player in America today is 15.3
years old
The average household income for soccer family was $60,000 in
2000
29 percent of the 17,734,000 soccer players had an annual income
of over $75,000
25.4 % of the soccer fans in the USA live in the Western USA

achieve radically increased sales and profit through:
New sales opportunities
New high-level contacts
Enhanced image
Increased exposure
Cross marketing
Show promotions
Store promotions
Sponsorship allows businesses to develop a one-on-one relationship with their clients/consumers. Through sponsorship you can have a presence at events and give out free samples or coupons to market your wares.A sponsorship program can create direct sales, help people learn about your business, help you create local brand and image. By being there where the people are actively pursuing their passion or supporting their children in growth experience, the sponsor can initiate, build and develop your own community.
You can create a interactive space for finding out where customers want you to take your business. You’ll find it easy to strengthen and re-inforce your company’s brand. Customers themselves will positions your company as your community’s caring leader. You get direct access to a targeted audience.

Public speaking is a key way to market your business. Each issue of this newsletter will give you tips on public speaking. We will walk you through 22 steps of making a speech or presentation each issue.
There are so many new businesses starting up today, and it is surprising that most of them will fail. In order to succeed in today’s highly competitive world, it is necessary to attract people to come to you - to seek you out. That means that you have to reach out to them. In order to bring people into your business, you must first offer them a gift. Speaking in your community is a way to give to them - to connect with them - in a non-threatening way. By developing a public speaking program you will find yourself invited to important events in your community.
The more you speak, the more people who get to know you. You have more opportunities to give your business cards, your sales literature, your printed speeches, printed articles about your speeches to potential clients and customers as the evening’s celebrity - the public speaker. Not only does your speaker status give you celebrity status, but you get many of your speaking engagements covered by local media. Each time you speak, you can arrange write ups in local papers, trade industry papers, as well as in your own newsletter.
Customers are everywhere, and with a business or professional promotion speaking program in place, you will be out there to meet new customers.
A public speaking-based marketing program can be very inexpensive, yet very productive. Future issues of Horse Community Marketing will have sample speeches and other support for you to develop your speaking skills. Want to use public speaking but have fears? Dr. Cross will be happy to help you write your speech, coach and rehearse you, online, and give you the inner strength to share your uniqueness with your customers.

include membership in a customer club, couponing programs, cross
promotions, supporting local sports teams, supporting community
activities.
2. Make sure we keep the list updated. When we mail out
newsletters and they come back, remove them for the list.
3. Teach your staff to learn to know your customers by each
getting to know a group of customers.

Remember the power of marketing in a firm like the
EcoAgroAdventure SATReal Consultancy & Financing Center
(SATReal Center). Because you have offices all over the world, it
doesn't matter where your customers moves, if you create a
community with him or her, you can keep getting referral
commission for the rest of your life. Through the
EcoAgroAdventure SATReal Consultancy & Financing Center
(SATReal Center) worldwide network, you can keep that customers
for life. He or she will always be a profit center for you.
We've talked about creating a community of buyers and sellers of community business . How about creating a community of fellow Businesses, title companies, mortgage companies, and fellows in the community business community you work in? How about creating a community business community? Don't just depend on the MLS. Think about creating your own community so that people come directly to you with the referrals of people who are not from their area? More about this next issue.
We are people of the community. We evolved in small groups and evolved into ever-larger groups. We have always known we needed the group. Our wholeness is tied up with our belonging to the group. At one time we lived in small towns and rural communities. We came together for church, social activities and for the welfare of our children. We knew everyone in our community and they knew us. People greeted us as we walked through town, validating our belonging.
As our cities have grown, so has our separation from the life of the community. We still have communities, but we move in and out of them so rapidly we hardly get a chance to know the people next door, let alone the people we see when shopping. Crowds of strangers increasingly surround us, strangers we can’t trust, whom we do not know and who do not validate us.
One of the powers of these old communities was the fact that interaction with those who validated us was so easily available. We still want a place where people are happy to see us come in, a place where we are appreciated for our self.
The key to creating a community based marketing program is the creation of a safe place. What is a safe place? A safe place is a place where:
You Do Not Fear Being Attacked,
You Do Not Fear Being Insulted
You Believe That Others In The Group Really Want You To Win
Where People Seek To Help You Achieve
Where People Care And Seek To Nurture You
Create a true community in your place of business. A true community where you and your staff are dedicated to building the customers self esteem. If you are in a true community, it is easy to see. Members of the group are alive, full of life, brimming over with ideas, sharing thoughts, plans, goals and activities with each other. They enjoy meeting together, and are always trying to bring more people to you business. They love being there, and more and more people are constantly drawn into to the group by personal enthusiasm and the opportunities for personal growth and empowerment.
You have picnics where your customer can come in. You have surprise prizes in your store or office. You give recognition. Your employees are trained in building customer self esteem. They know how to connect with customers through eye contact. They know how to greet the customers and make them feel they care.
And most importantly, you have trained your workers to see that each customer has dollar bills on their foreheads. And if they do not validate those customers, they are losing money for you. And you recognize your employees for how they treat the customers. You have secret shoppers, customers who are working for you to assess just how customers are treated in your store. You are committed to self esteem building.
