I have a product that I recently launched called Mighty Miracle Mist www.mightymiraclemist.com. Any suggestions how to market it on virtually no budget?

My recommendation is to give some samples to other educators/day care providers.
Educate them on the use of the sprays. Follow up a month later. If their experience has been positive, encourage those that have their own websites to give your product a "plug." Also, ask them for a testimonial that you can use on your own site.

You may also want to try Google Adwords. Google will allow you to target your product and set a budget that's low. For example, for my business - Sock Grams - I launched in April and started with Google with a $5.00 per day budget, knowing I could "suspend" my campaign if I was spending too much per month. -- Good news is, business took off and I was able to increase my daily ad budget. My guess is that you will, too!!!

What a great idea you have!!!

Wishing you lots of luck,
Heather

Hi, i was wondering if you would like to exchange links? It's a great way to have your product in another location. I have recently started my website and have found that one of the best ways to get on the top search engines is to have links that associate with your business, we both do kids items. But of course it doesn't have to be associated with your product.

the more links you have the better and if they are high on the search engines that is great. but it is hard to get linked to other websites, because they want you to pay for it! So i am asking a few wahm's if they would like to exchange links and well you are my first!

If so let me know and we can go from there thanks Robye.

What a fun product and I loved your web site! Definitely a few testimonials would be good. I would suggest networking with other Moms - giving away a sample as a door prize if you are at a networking meeting. If you are in an area where there are few networking opportunities like I am I would suggest you write a few articles on how to encourage better behavior in your children and submit them to an article directory. They will allow you to have an author bio box with a link back to your web site. Also developing an ezine (email newsletter) can be a powerful marketing tool. You can start building your list(email addresses) by adding everyone you know and asking them to forward the ezine. You can do a product launch in the same way - create a fun email piece to announce your new product and give away one sample to folks that sign up for your newsletters.

Hope this helps,
