The Moving Parade
If you have never come across ‘The Moving Parade’ before then you are probably wondering what on earth I am talking about but as you read through this post you will very quickly understand.
Whenever you market a product or service you probably know that you are never going to appeal to everyone because not everyone is interested in your product or service, however, it may also be because that particular person is not interested at that particular time – but this does not necessarily mean they won’t be interested tomorrow or next week!
This is what ‘The Moving Parade’ is all about…
Let me give you an example;
You are currently very happy with your car, it is not old nor is it brand new – it gets you to work each day and out and about at the weekend, so when a salesman from the local car dealership calls you to inform that they have a special offer on the new model of your car you are not interested.
However, the following month the job you recently applied for is offered to you – it is promotion as well as a large increase in salary but it does mean that you will need to drive quite a bit more and you are not sure whether you car is up to that task.
So, you are now in the market for a new car and if the salesman called you today with the same special offer then you would be interested!
This scenario occurs everyday in all markets and if the sales person does not keep in touch with their prospects they will never get ‘lucky’ – people are constantly moving in and out of the market as circumstances change constantly.
By keeping in touch with your prospects (list) on at least a monthly basis (weekly being better!) then the chances that you will ‘hit’ at the right time increase tenfold.
This is such a powerful marketing strategy – apply ‘The Moving Parade’ to your internet marketing business and your profits will increase, guaranteed!


This is interesting, Andy. I never heard of it before, thanks for this.
Enjoy the journey.

Hi Andy, great post. I’ve never heard of it before but it does make sense. The only thing to be concerned about is if you keep banging on the prospects door with the same item they may get fed up with it and unsubscribe from your list. The mini course is an excellent way around this as it bangs on there door every day for a week, then if you allow a couple of weeks and send the promotion again.
Respect & regards

Hi Andy,
First of all it is a very good analogy, and secondly i wonder if you could create a short report out of this using that title “The Moving Parade”, it would be a kind of mindset area for marketing, food for thought?

Hi Andy
I agree with Ed, this would make a good report.
I always work on the same lines when I’m selling…just because they may say no today…doesn’t mean they say no forever.
cheers

The ‘mini course is an excellent idea and one that I will definately be looking at!
