"Old School" vs "New School" MARKETING (Who Wins?)


Old School: (meetings, parties, and the like)
New School: (Internet and social media stuff)

So, the $64,000 question. Does “Old School” marketing still work these days?

I think you know the answer already, and it is OF COURSE it works, ”if” it’s done right.

See, I think you should do what fits "your" personality and skills best. Sure, experiment with new stuff (or old stuff) to continue to grow your marketing “bag-o-tricks,” but do what you like doing to build your business, let others do what they like. Find ways to blend them together.

QUICK STORY: (to those who think old school is out)

I know two guys. One is a new school well known top pro that has trained “thousands” of people to build an MLM business online with videos. I interviewed him recently and learned a few things. Let’s just talk “numbers” in this story. In his first 5 months with his current m.l.m company, this stud built a team of 1,900 in his Genewize business. This is fantastic.

Now to the old schooler. This guy has never built a huge network or income. He has built his (Efusjon - the Energy Drink Club, MLM) team to over 3,000 in just over 2 months. H-E-L-L-O!!! He builds thru home meetings (parties). The “old” school way. Now, some of his team I’m sure are building new school but many are doing it thru old school marketing. See how this MLM “nobody” SMASHED the superstar new schooler, with his little home parties that many new schoolers laugh at. This is not an islolated thing either.

Why does old school still work? Simple. It still works because this is a “PEOPLE” business and
there’s always something fun and special about getting together in person. IF you make it fun and special and your opportunity is great like Efusjon, it even that much easier.

My point is this…Don’t laugh at what other people are doing if it’s working. Do what WORKS!!

What works best is a “combination” of both.

Think about it. Should YOU be doing a “home party?” Should you be doing more “oneline” marketing? Should you be using a few "different" prospecting methods?

With the new video "GAMES" like RAD and EWorld that Efusjon is introducing thru places like Facebook and iphone, (RAD will launch July 22nd), it will be easier than ever for most people to build a business online, but don’t forget, old school is still in session and ALWAYS will be.
