I was on spring break in California many years ago and I noticed on my walk back from Knott’s Berry Farms a dinner type restaurant with roller skating waitresses. I understand that these were very popular in the 1950’s and that the restaurant from Happy Days, Arnold’s was modeled after them. As I wasn’t driving I went in and sat down and placed my order and inside the waitresses were all on roller skates. I thought wow what a novel idea. I then noticed all of the newspaper clippings about the restaurant and thought what a great way to leverage your press coverage and build credibility. I was asked by my waitress if I liked roller skating and I said yes she said great are you here alone. I said yes and she handed me a free pass to the local roller rink. I went skating after my meal and upon arrival I was given a coupon for the restaurant. My marketing mind went into complete exhilaration as I had just experienced a great example of cross promotion and businesses standing apart from other businesses.

Defining who you are is an important strategy. I had a client a few years ago who did financial planning and when asked what they did they went on and on about analysis and financial strategies. I stated you help people fix their financial issues so you should be known as The Financial Fixer. The client used that as their moniker and as a result she had more definition as to who she was and she stood out from the other financial advisors.
Understanding what you do and being able to explain it in a way that will catch people’s attention is an important strategy that will help you to stand out.

The strategy is to give them a taste of who you are and what you do and to peak their interest. I often include the fact that I host an Internet TV Show. By implementing this strategy I have garnered interest and have been able to secure guests for my show.
Interacting on social media is an important strategy and doing it correctly is imperative.(Look for a separate blog entry on this subject). The key strategy to remember is to be of service and value when using social media.
