Unusual Ideas for Marketing Your Resume Writing Services

Just some random thoughts off the top of my head … (based on creativity exercises in a book I'm reading)... If you're doing any of these things, I might profile you in an upcoming issue of Resume Writers' Digest. Drop me an e-mail at RWDigest@aol.com.

  • SIMPLE SOLUTION: See more clients and charge more = more $$
  • CONTRADICT HISTORY: Get someone else to pay (not the client). (i.e., outsourcing = employer pays; contract with a church for services for their unemployed members = church pays, etc.)
  • OUTRAGEOUS: "Free resumes": Don't pay upfront -- client just pays "two days pay" for a new job you get
  • SEND FEAR: become more visible; offer a solid guarantee (charge enough to make it worth your while)
  • LEVERAGE CONSUMER PERCEPTIONS: Case studies of résumés that win jobs.
  • LEVERAGE CATEGORY / CONSUMER TRENDS: 33% of job searchers change jobs each year. How to capitalize on this?
  • CONTRADICT TRENDS ????
  • AROUSE CURIOSITY???
