Marketing your product successfully
on a wholesale basis is comprised of using three main tactics.
1. Getting your
product in front of buyers and merchandise directors on a pro-active
basis. i.e. You are actively calling on buyers and merchandise
directors pitching your product(s). This can be done in-house by
someone working at your company or by an
independent sales
representative you pay a commission to.
2. Having your product featured in places where buyers and
merchandise directors go looking for products to sell. This can be on
web sites, in trade magazines, at trade shows and buyers markets.
3. Implementing web and publicity strategies that enable buyers and
merchandise directors to find your company when they're searching for
new products to sell using search engines like Google. This
involves Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tactics for your company web
site. This means getting inbound links to your web site from
high-ranking web sites, utilizing conversation media like blogs,
social networks like Facebook and YouTube.com, and web book-marking
sites like, digg.com, stumbleupon.com, reddit.com and propeller.com
All together called: Web 2.0
The NMOA has effective
and low cost product promotion services to help you in these areas.
Our specialty is getting your
product
in front of the buyers and merchandise directors of direct marketing companies.
Direct Marketing Companies sell through mail order
catalogs, web stores, direct mail, television home shopping and
infomercials, and also through space ads in magazines and newspapers.
Although it's not our main focus, a number of other specialty
retailers like Kiosk vendors come to us looking for new products too.

$20.00 - Self administered Product News Posting on the NMOA
Wholesale
News Site.
This unique service does a few things for you. It helps you get low cost
exposure for your product(s), and at the same time it helps build the
search engine ranking of your website so people can find you easier
when using search engines.
NOTE: This service is Free when you become part of our Product
Promotion Package outlined below.
Product Exposure: In addition to people coming directly
to the wholesale news site, this site also ties into a
growing network of other web sites through RSS feeds, blogs, and social media web sites
like Facebook and MySpace. Your product posting will also appear on
the NMOA New Product Department
page until the next product posting. So posting on our wholesale news
site brings you product exposure at a super low cost.
Search Engine Value: It's important to know that news and blog postings are
a vital component in today's Web 2.0 marketing strategy. They are now
a necessity for building long-term search engine awareness for your
company and products.
Take note, 60-80% of indexed pages on
Google are now news sites and blogs.
And each posting you submit adds one more important Search Engine
Optimized (SEO) link to your main website. As any search engine expert
will tell you, having good incoming links to your website is the
single best thing you can do to increase your search engine ranking so
people can find you on the web. Each time you post on our wholesale
news site, you create additional exposure for your product and one
more long lasting link to your website. These optimized incoming links
have a powerful cumulative effect over time, the more you have the
better. And your posting remains on our wholesale news site for
an unlimited time period
Our Wholesale News Site gives you full SEO control for creating custom keywords and phrases into
your posting to maximize your search engine value. It even allows you
to post a picture of your product. After you complete your news
posting, you can then use social book-marking sites like digg.com,
stumbleupon.com and Reddit.com to tag/recommend it, and so can your
friends and employees. Afterwards, you can also come back and edit the
original posting, or make comments to it anytime you want. And
everything is simple to use.
