Online Marketing Strategies

and to build a community of like-minded people.

for doing so.

coaching, etc.) and ask for a referral.

12. Create a professional-looking email signature and advertise your services in it.

13. Create an online quiz that builds interest and curiosity in the Tarot (e.g. what Tarot card are
you?). Make sure you include a link to your website.

14. Write an eBook on Tarot to showcase your knowledge and attract subscribers to your email
list.

15. Start your own Tarot podcas.t Bring on guests and offer free mini Tarot readings.

16. Get listed on a group buy website like Groupon or Living Social.

17. Encourage social sharing on your website with Sharebar.

18. Share sample Tarot readings on your website along with the customer's feedback. Of course,
make sure you get permission to share the reading before you post it.

19. Offer a free Tarot reading to a popular blogger (in any field) and if they love it, ask them to
write about it on their blog or website.

20. Conduct a case study or interview with a previous client and show how they transformed
their lives with the help of your Tarot reading.

21. Shoot a memorable video about your Tarot reading skills and post it to Youtube.

22. Create Tarot reading specials for different times of the year. Offer a Love Tarot Reading
special for Valentine's Day or a New Year special for the start of the year.

23. Run a competition to win a free Tarot reading with you and cross-promote on other websites.

24. Have a clear ‘call to action' on your Tarot readings/Services page, e.g. “Buy Now” or “Book
Reading”.

25. Add a ‘bonus' to your Tarot reading, e.g. a brief numerology or astrology report.

26. Become a guest on a Tarot podcast.

27. Have a ‘weird' sale like, “I just pulled the Six of Pentacles and I'm ready to give, give, give.”

profile.

30. Offer Tarot reading gift vouchers.

sure you get informed on how to get the most ROI out of Adwords.

include links to your Tarot business.

Existing Client Strategies

reading.

reading.

Branding Strategies
41. Craft an attention-grabbing tagline for your Tarot business.

offer.

44. Design a stand-out logo for your Tarot business.

45. Get clear on what your customers truly value in your Tarot readings and use this to form your
marketing communications.
46. Talk in terms of benefits rather than features, e.g. “accurate and insightful Tarot readings”
rather than “email Tarot readings”.

47. Find your unique ‘voice' and ‘image'. For example, Dan Donche is the edgy, bold and
“inappropriate Tarot reader“. What are you going to be known for?

48. Create an eye-catching business card. Sure, you can get freebies from Vistaprint, or engage a
designer to make you something really special.

49. Include customer testimonials on all of your marketing materials.

50. Be the Purple Cow. Find a way to stand out from the crowd and be different.

can get their money back. Trust me, it is rarely used.

Offline Marketing Strategies

52. Create Tarot card postcards with your details printed on the back and drop them in random,
unexpected places – on the street, at a bus stop, along the beach, at the local park. People will be
intrigued when they pick up a Tarot card and may be compelled to get in touch with you to find
out what it all means.

53. Prepare your ‘elevator pitch' (a 30 second spiel about your Tarot business and why your
customers rave about you) and be ready to share it with everyone you meet.

54. Post a flyer for your Tarot business at the local shops, especially new age shops.

55. Carry your business cards with you always, and be ready to hand them out as you eagerly tell
others what you do for a living.

56. Offer 10 minute Tarot readings for $10 at your local library, café or hairdresser, and hand out
your business cards for more in-depth readings. Tell your well-networked hairdresser all about
your business and ask her to recommend you to her clients.

57. Write a regular article in a new age / spiritual magazine and include your contact details in
your profile.

58. Join local small business groups with people from diverse backgrounds, and attend regular
networking events.

59. Take out an ad in your local newspaper, but make sure you're attracting the intended market.

60. Join your local Tarot association.

61. Create a local meet-up group around Tarot.

62. Create a unique story about you as a Tarot reader (e.g. professional management consultant
turned professional Tarot consultant) and pitch the story to your local newspaper for coverage.
Larger newspapers often get their story ideas from the local papers.

63. Brand your car with your Tarot business contact details and logo.

64. Join associations in complementary fields where you have an interest – e.g. astrologers,
Pagans, Wiccans, psychics, etc. Build relationships and encourage two-way referrals.

65. Ask your local newspaper or magazine if you can write a regular column with Tarotscopes
(Tarot cards for each sign of the zodiac).

66. Ask to present at your local Tarot association's next meet-up.

67. Partner with people in complementary industries and offer combined packages. For example,
why not join forces with a beauty therapist and offer Tarot readings + Pampering parties?

68. Put up a huge advertising banner in the front window of your house or office.

69. Join your local Chamber of Commerce.

70. Give back to the community by offering free Tarot readings at the next charity event.

71. Post an ad on a free list such as Craigslist or Gumtree (Australia).

72. Set up a stall at the next New Age fair/market such as the Mind Body Spirit festival in
Australia.

73. Create a special Tarot reading event for your local mother's groups. Set up your table at the
play centre and read for each mum as their baby plays with the other babies and mums.

74. Sponsor a charity event by offering a gift voucher for a Tarot reading.

75. Offer to give mini Tarot readings at sales events at like-minded shops.

76. Ask your friends and family to promote your Tarot business.

77. Carry your Tarot cards with you all the time – you never know when someone might need a
Tarot reading and are prepared to pay for it.

78. Design a few t-shirts that advertise your Tarot business in a quirky way and wear them
whenever you go out in populated areas, or even to your next Tarot conference.

OK, what are you waiting for? Get cracking!
