Go Bananas: 5 Guerrilla Marketing Tactics to Grow Your Business

Let's be honest... there are millions of companies of all sizes out there who are eager to get the word out about their products and/or services, within certain monetary parameters. Well guess what? 

It's perfectly okay to be frugal about how you allocate your marketing dollars...so long as you're diligent about the efforts you make!

Take for example, the latest and most unconventional (aka "guerrilla marketing") gestures you may have seen around town:

-- Someone adorned in a festive or eye-catching costume, and roaming the local community to promote your business (ahem, the folks at Liberty Tax dressed as our Statue of Liberty during that dreaded income tax season annually)

-- People holding up or spinning large signs on busy streets in attempts to lure you into their place of business (mattress stores, jewelry shops, clothing boutiques, etc.)

-- Neighborhood streets adorned in stickers, paper collateral or even spray paint to build brand recognition (refer to independent film, Exit Through the Gift Shop ).

Those are just a few examples of low-budget, atypical methods of conveying a message. While some "guerrilla tactics" may not be the most effective (or legal) for your business... Here are another 

5 guerrilla marketing ideas which could help you improve your bottom line:

1) public relations & publicity using PR web sites or community newsletters/bulletins

2) giving away (or selling) promotional items for others to wear/display as mini "billboards" for your business

3) promoting a raffle or drawing, where the winner receives one of your products or services for FREE or at a discounted price

4) B2B cross-promotions (ex: displaying/selling your sports nutrition products at a local fitness facility)

5) generating positive reviews & testimonial videos from your current clientele/customers (to post on your social media accounts)

See? Guerrilla marketing game plans don't always have to be risky to be affordable.

With a little brainstorming & a lot of "outside the box" thinking, you're sure to come up with a few uncommon practices which could be highly beneficial for your brand or your company.

Take it from us at Escaype Enterprises ... discovering and implementing unique ways to become more successful can be fun, as well as very effective.

So what are you waiting for...start NOW. Put on your thinking caps and "go bananas!"

Green Coffee Bean Extract Supplements from ATL Fitness Club Coming Soon!

Doctor Oz was raving about them, and so is ATL Fitness Club!

We're talking about Green Coffee Bean Extract supplements ... and they will soon be available for you to purchase from your fitness friends at ATL Fitness Club .

So what is GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT , exactly? Well Dr. Oz refers to them as a " fat burner in a bottle ."

In his TV segment featuring this supplement, Doctor Oz discusses a recent study from (what he refers to as) "the world's largest scientific society." This study observed test subjects who took GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT with a 2,400 calorie diet (each day).

The test subjects lost more than 10% of their body weight and 16% of their total body fat while taking the green coffee bean supplements for just 12 weeks... That's an average of 17 lbs. per participant, with ZERO side effects!

Okay so how does GREEN COFFEE BEAN EXTRACT work?

Dr. Lindsey Duncan (a Naturopath Doctor) explains this in 3 ways on Doctor Oz 's show :

1) Green coffee bean extract causes the body to burn glucose and sugar.

2) Green coffee bean extract slows the release of sugar into your bloodstream, which keeps fat from building up in the body.

3) Green coffee bean extract has a synergistic effect on the body, which helps burn AND block fat, without any side effects.

If you don't believe us, then you can check out Doctor Oz 's video here: http://www.doctoroz.com/videos/miracle-pill-burn-fat-pt-1

And when you're ready to purchase your own bottle, simply go to our site and reserve your own for just $24.99 by clicking here: ATLfitnessclub.com .

It's about that time...for you to burn the fat and Achieve The Look!

Escaype Enterprises & The 'Green' House Effect (of Juicing)!

So I have officially jumped on the juicing bandwagon, and I'm hooked...

Sometimes I find myself standing in the kitchen at 2am chopping up my newest organic produce, only to create a green juice concoction as a nightcap (which beats a glass of wine).

While I'm new to the world of juicing, I have definitely created my own recipes, one of which I'll share with you (this one is my fave).

Here's what's in it (and all of this is organic, by the way):

--2 huge kale leaves

--1 green apple

--1 pear

--12 mini carrots

--2 stalks of celery

--1/2 a banana

And after I throw all that into my juicer...I pour it into a shaker bottle (with the little metal shaker ball thingy) and add about a 1/2 cup of plain coconut water to sweeten it a bit.

As this new juicing hobby continues, I'm sure I'll have many more fun recipes to share online (and in person!).

Until then, this yummy green cocktail will remain my main squeeze.

Cheers!

Escaype Enterprises Explains Why Juicing is Couture!

As a recently-joined member of the Netflix cult, I've come across a multitude of life-changing documentaries...many of which have dramatically changed my views on food.

One in particular, Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead ...was amazing.

In this real-life flick, viewers are given a glimpse of what it's like to be overweight (or morbidly obese for that matter) and burdened with the health problems that accompany tipping the scales.

The main guy in this movie introduces us to the world of juicing...and why it's good for us (all the while losing 82 pounds in just 2 months).

Moral of the story: everyone should have a juicer. Throw all your favorite veggies (and fruit too!) in it, and go to town! Your mind, body & soul will thank you for each and every boost in a glass.

I bought my first juicer today...and I'm joining the movement starting this Ash Wednesday. By Easter 2012 I anticipate I'll be healthier than I've ever been in my entire life.

Here's to eatin' your veggies (with a straw, that is)!

Escaype Enterprises & the Gondol-uggh Ride

Don't let the movies fool you... Venice is totally NOT what it seems.

Sure, it looks romantic... and breathtaking... and like a place all lovers should visit on their honeymoons.

But no! It's definitely not like that in real life.

I visited Venice a few years ago... when there was a major (and we're talking enormous) heatwave.

Venitian tour guides will tell you that an average of 375,000 tourists visit EACH DAY during the summer time (wow, that's a lot of sweaty people).

They'll also tell you that Venice is NOT equipped with a sewage system (or any type of drainage facility) to accommodate all the tourists and their... well, needs to relieve themselves after they eat gelato and drink wine.

So what I'm saying is this: The gondola rides, as enthralling as you may find the singing to be... are NOT fun.

I was in a gondola while the "driver" behind me was singing "That's Amore..." and all the while I was being splashed by the water from the canals which smelled exactly like what it was-- sewage water.

So before you plan that romantic getaway with that special someone, just think twice about where you want to go and what you want to do.

Because if it's Venice you long to see...it may just be cheaper to take your "HoneyLoverMuffin"on a trip to the toilet bowl (so long as you play some Italian music in the background). Now THAT'S Amore!

Becoming a "Person of Pinterest"

Staying in the social media loop can sometimes be like a separate part-time (or full-time for some of you internet junkies) job.

That's why Escaype Enterprises is introducing you to one of the newest and fastest-growing social media networks out there right now... Pinterest !

If you're familiar with it, just read this blog for the heck of it. But if you're one of the many social media buffs who are up to speed with Facebook & Twitter but do NOT know about this new network... read on, friends!

Just what is Pinterest anyway?

Pinterest is a site where you can go to share and organize things you personally find interesting or inspiring (like images, videos, etc.). Once these files are uploaded or shared, these images become known as "Pins," which you can then "attach" on customized, themed Boards. You can create boards for just about any topic... from pets who perform tricks to laughing babies!

In Which Ways Can I Use Pinterest?

Pinterest can be a really cool tool for people with a specific purpose in mind:

-New Year's Resolutions

-Places you've always wanted to travel

-Things you're saving up money to buy,

-or yes...your very own Bucket List (okay, maybe that one is a little bizarre).

So How is Pinterest a Social Media Platform?

Pinning’s more fun when you have someone else to do it with you. You can do this by accessing the "everything" drop-down menu and filter the boards by category. When you see a good "Pin," leave a comment, Like it (just like you do on Facebook ), or "Repin" it to one of your own boards.

And Just How Can You Jump on the Pinterest Bandwagon?

There's a little bit of a "Fight Club" policy if you really want to be part of Pinterest ...That's because you have to be invited! You can sign up for invites on the site (but you'll still have to wait on a response), or chances are you may already know a Pinner who will gladly send you an invite. Ask around... you may be surprised to know that there are active Pinners all around you. Now doesn't that bring a whole new meaning to the phrase, "being pinned down!"
