Marketing Ideas for our Carocelle College Affiliates

The Carocelle® College Partners program wants to support you in every way that we can by providing you with some outstanding ideas for marketing and selling the Carocelle.

These marketing ideas are easy and take very little time so you have more time to close sales and make commission off of the referrals you send to www.carocelle.com.

Great Idea #1

Make sure people know that you are a Carocelle® Representative by announcing your new business venture. Send the following email to everyone in your email address book, in your chat list or on your buddy list. Be sure to include family and friends at home and at school.

Then attach the following pdf sales flyer to the email that will give them more information about the Carocelle® and lead them to the web site.

Great Idea #2

Print off a few copies of the pdf file Carocelle® flyer and post them around campus at some of the locations listed below. Be sure to add your name as a Carocelle® Student Representative, your email address and your phone number. Make sure to check your school's rules about posting information.

Great Idea #3

Gather a group of friends and students and conduct a live demonstration of the Carocelle®. All you need are some dirty dishes, a sink with countertop and some dish detergent and you're in business! Invite people to the demonstration via email or by posting flyers. Share with them all of the great ways they can benefit from using the Carocelle®, stressing the fact that they hate to wash dishes and never have enough clean dishes.

When you sign up, remember to purchase your Carocelle® at a deep discount of $50 off for your own dishwasher and demonstrator model. If you've already signed up, go to the Carocelle® ordering page and put in REFERRED BY -- "demo model with your ID code."

Be creative and think of what motivates your friends -- have some snacks. Food always works.

Great Idea #4

Attend a student function, group meeting or study group and be a part of the program by demonstrating or displaying the Carocelle®. At the most you can demonstrate but, at the least, take flyers and tell them that you are the new campus Representative and invite them to visit the web site or give you their email for more information.

The more students you can reach in person, by flyer, or by email, the money you stand to make. It's a matter of numbers and reaching as many on campus and off as you can.

Great Idea #5

Build your own web page and submit it to all the search engines. Use your page as a portal page to the www.carocelle.com site. You can feel free to use the wording and graphics from the Carocelle® site as they are without changes on your own web page.

If you already have a web page, you can add a Carocelle® page to it and even add a link to your personal page leading them to www.carocelle.com. For example, the link could say "Suzy Jones, Carocelle Student Representative. Go here to see how you CAN afford a dishwasher and you can STOP washing dishes by hand. It's about time!"

Great Idea #6

If you don't know how to build an entire page, you can always create an email signature at the bottom of your email that says, for example, "Suzy Jones, Carocelle Student Representative -- Don't you hate washing dishes by hand? I do! That's why I'm selling (or representing) the Carocelle® Portable Countertop Dishwasher. You CAN afford a dishwasher. And, you can STOP washing dishes!

Visit www.carocelle.com or email me for more information. Be sure to mention Suzy Jones, Referral ID# ?????, when ordering. Thank you!"

Great Idea #7

Get listed or linked from your school's web site or post a message announcing your new venture with Carocelle® on your school's bulletin board or other online student communities and newsgroups that you belong to -- including any Yahoo! Clubs where you frequent often.

Remember to announce, post or get listed at all of the sites where you and other students like you visit often. You can reach thousands, maybe millions, online. Imagine the potential that could do to your commission!

Great Idea #8

Use the Carocelle product or Carocelle Industries Inc. as the feature of a class project like a sales presentation or a marketing brochure, etc. This will give you a chance in a non-salesy way to tell people about your new venture and to get exposure to a "captive audience."

Great Idea #9

Set up a booth or trade show table to display the Carocelle® and talk to students about their despise of washing dishes by hand. Ask student services where and when it would be appropriate to set up a table. High traffic areas like the post office, main entrances, where main hallways meet, cafeteria, at sporting and campus events -- wherever you can be seen and talk to students. REMEMBER: Fall orientation is a great opportunity to pitch parents directly!

Great Idea #10

Pitch your new venture to your school newspaper. Tell them about your entrepreneurial spirit and pitch the idea of students and their hate for washing dishes. Write a funny editorial about the plight of the college student and their grungy cappuccino mugs -- the inconvenience, the embarrassment, the bacteria living in their mugs. Think of creative angles that would interest your school publications to write about you. Email or call them and pitch the idea.

Better yet, tell them about your new venture and ask them if they would be interested in doing a joint promotion together. You could even call the career center and brainstorm ways to promote their center by featuring you and your entrepreneurial venture.

BONUS Great Idea

Think outside the box and create your own marketing plan and promotions. If you do create and plan to use marketing materials other than those supplied by Carocelle®, please be sure to submit them to the company for prior review.
