www.thinklikeahorse.org – Here I talk about perception is reality and try and connect how mindset gets people hurt. Doing what other do, only seeing bad horsemanship, trusting others with little or no proof that you should trust them, trainer tricks and pot holes that get people hurt and then get horses labeled as bad or mean. Here is link to my Article page where you view my article about Riding helmets being bad. – www.thinklikeahorse.org

The classified ads which are the most inexpensive type of advertising can help you sell your products such as property, automobile, antique collection, used vacuum, or anything you choose. Nevertheless, writing a classified ad that actually sells your product is a special art.

Read on to learn how to write classified ads that sell.

A sale is completed through four different stages – awareness, interest, desire and action. Some marketers boil this down to a single word formula called AIDA formula

Awareness – awareness that you have something to sell that the prospective customer may be benefited.

Interest – the prospective customer gets interested in your product.

Desire – the prospective customer feels like buying your product.

Action – actually ordering the product and writing the check.

The third and fourth steps really are not in your control, but doing the first two steps – awareness and interest – correct can motivate the customer buy from you.

Thus with the little number of words, you have to create awareness and interest in the minds of your customers, on your product.

If your classified ad creates awareness and interest in the minds of your customers and he or she rings you up, your ad is a success.

Keep in mind that classified ads are not sales letters.

Sales letters are aimed at closing the sale now and here. A classified ad is like an invitation to fix an appointment. Your prospective customer interested in buying the product (your house, car, vacuum) and is willing to explore the chances of buying the product from you. There will be more communication between you and your customer and a sale is reached on mutual understanding.

Five Quick Tips on Writing Classified Ads

1.

Clearly describe in a few words what your product is. Use numbers and facts to tell things like colour, model, etc.
2. Don’t go on to tell the whole story about your product. Just tell its present condition and location. Believe only people interested in specific products will be readingclassified ads for that products.
3. Avoid exaggerated claims. Strange but true, you will not get the right customers with exaggerated claims.
4. Write a minimum of ten ads before you send one for the publication. You will see how beneficial it is to have an ad that actually captures the interest of people who are actively looking for products similar to yours.
5. Clearly tell readers what action to take. Ask readers to call a telephone number or visit a website for more information. Include the telephone number or website URL along the ad.

9.5-10 For Riding Abilities- The Ultimate Breeding Goal of the Icelandic Horse

I have learned a long time ago, that I have to not only remember the customer’s name, but more importantly I absolutely have to remember the customers horse’s name as well. All my clients thoroughly enjoy the fact that I recall their horse, what they were working on, and what they were up to the last time that we met.

Rule number one: you have to spend more time with your on-line customers, before you can promote your on-line equine business or attempt to make a sale. You have to make a personal connection.

How to get Horse followers on Twitter

First, You need followers. Start by following the leaders that are on twitter that are within the horse community. You will soon see that the horse community likes to follow the brands that they recognize on Twitter. Search such words as Horse, Equine, Rodeo, barrel, cowgirl, or cowboy: you get the point. Just look for and start following the leaders. Of Course, please look up me, (Knotatail).
Send replies back to them and talk with them. Don’t twitter just about what you had for breakfast, but get involved. It is a time to offer advice and help. Treat them like they are family and a customer that is face to face with you. It is easy to forget that they are a lot more than an on-line “SALE” so learn to b e more interactive and personal.
Make sure you upload a avatar (picture). If you have read other on-line marketing advice, you have most likely been told to up-load a picture of yourself, but what I have found out is that more people follow me when I have horse picture loaded or my western Hat logo. However, after 20 years in the equine marketing community, I have learned that customers remember the name of my horse before they will remember mine. This transfers over to the on-line horse Community as well. So use this to your advantage, get a horse picture up.

Be courteous to your Twitter followers Learn the right way Express Yourself on Twitter that keeps them coming back!

Make sure you follow everyone back. I also do not send an automatic reply. I take a look at their profile and I find a way to make it personal. This takes time, but it is like meeting your customer at the door, and personally greeting them. Getting to know them is totally worth the extra efforts by creating a totally loyal client base. Trust me; they will remember you, because you are stepping out from what everyone else is doing. Beside, following them is just courteous. More Twitters will respond to you and everyone who follows them will see this. This just transfers into more equine customers into follow you and what you are doing. Besides Twitter has rules how many must be following you as a percent to how many you follow, so you need to make sure you find a way that they will take the trouble to check you out.
It has been said that the Twitter mantra is ABL (“Always Be Linking”). Find interesting items, stories, pictures, and articles to share with you horse friends on twitter. YOU Be the Source to your twitter world for horse Topics. You can check out sites like StumbleUpon to help you find horse related topics. However, if you head for some of the horse sites you will find an endless variety of topics. I like horse tweets, and Club Equestrian, both of which I encourage you to join. You can find numerous great horse forums that have hundreds of horse topics. Get outstanding results and attract even more clients by doing searches in topics that you are familiar with. Link-into topics that you excel in and you will quickly find new ways to be connected with your customers in more attractive ways besides promoting your business. You will find yourself getting exceptional results by becoming more attractive to your fellow Horse Twitters and become totally with horse people from around the world.

Don’t use twitter just to tell the world what you had for breakfast this morning. If you want to connect with more customers, you have to show them that you care about them, and that you are not just there to sell them something.
I learned this lesson the hard way. When I first started using twitter, I sent out way too many ads and links to my own site, and I actually lost several hundred fellow Tweeters in one afternoon. I know that I get tired of someone always trying to sell me something. Just remember, make it all about them, and you will see a steady increase in your results.

These are just the start for increasing your marketing result in the Horse Industry. There are many simple rules you can easily follow to quickly increase on-line sales. If you have any suggestion or comments, I would love to hear from you.

Any horse rider would pick up horses based on factors such as breed, hoof picks and financial commitments. The comfortable horse riding becomes possible only if the horses have saddles attached to their body. The saddle is defined as a supportive structure fastened on the back of the animal using a girth so that it can bear the load of objects placed or the rider. The importance of these horse saddles become mandatory because of the different incidents that occurred due to unprotected horse riding leading to disabilities and even death.

The main objective of horse saddle is to maintain the safety of the rider of the horse. The choice of material is made such that it fits perfectly on to the back of the horse and ensures that the rider and animal are comfortable. There are various sizes and styles of saddles available in the market due to the increased demand. The main benefit of this saddle is that it allows the rider to easily climb onto back of the tall horse. There are different parts in a horse saddle such as seat, tree, pommel, cantle girth and cushioning panels.

The English saddles are the most popular type used all over the world due to several styles included along with it. All saddles look similar to a normal person but trained and expert horse riders can easily distinguish the various additional features. The quality of saddles often depends upon the trees which lie underneath the whole structure. In additional to the most common English saddle, there are a variety of other saddles used in different parts of the world. The Western or Stock saddles are mainly designed for the use on horses in cattle ranches similar to those used by cowboys in films. It has a horn in front of the saddle which is considered as the most distinct feature used for roping cattle. The shape and size of the finished product is defined by the tree of the western saddle.

The mounted and armed forces in Britain, New Zealand, South Africa and Canada use the military saddles that are equipped with metal staples and other holders to store sword, horse shoe and other equipment. Asian saddles were used in ancient periods with the presence of horn and leather covering, high pommel and cantle. Sidesaddles are saddles designed for women which allowed women to control a horse even if they are wearing a skirt. This type of saddle is very common in horse shows and exhibitions People can search online for the various types of saddles based on the reviews provided in websites. However, the safety of the rider is the most important criterion while choosing to use the horse saddles while riding the

Any horse rider that has been unlucky enough to have their equine pal carefully place a hoof onto their foot will will be able to recall what an unpleasant experience it is! If you work with horses then it is considered normal that you will occasionally be trodden on, but even though in other industries where there is a danger of damage to the feet, steel toe cap boots are mandatory, this is not yet the case in the equine industry. Even so, there are a growing number of manufacturers that have recognised how important toe protection is for horse riding boots and have begun to integrate this is into their products.

The truth is that steel toes inside horse riding boots are a sensible idea. It only takes a second to cause a painful injury which, if you are lucky, will only be a nice bruise that will be sore for a few days but could also result in fractured or broken toes. If horses are your livelihood, whether you work with or ride them, a foot injury can cause a very big problem. Trying to handle any horse whilst hopping around with a broken toe or fractured foot is at best difficult and at worst downright dangerous. Furthermore, it is likely that you will require a number of days out of the saddle, or at least on light riding duties as pressure of your feet in the stirrup is going to be painful or impossible. Also, a fracture to the foot could alter the weight distribution across it which will escalate to the entire limb, actually affecting your position in the saddle. If you ride horses for a living, consider the implications of having to take time off work due to such an injury and furthermore, think about the long term damage of a foot injury. Broken toes could become arthritic in later years, or suffer with poor circulation leading to discomfort when working outdoors in the winter.

If you are looking for boots with toe protection for wearing around horses, then it is advisable to buy a pair of boots that are specifically designed for horse riding. This is because there are some slight differences between traditional steel toe capped boots and those used for horse riding. Of course there are some obvious differences, and if you will be wearing your boots also for riding as well as yard work then it goes without saying that they must be horse riding boots. But even if you only intend to use the boots for working around horses, the horse riding boots with toe protection have been tested and designed specifically to withstand pressure of a horse. In particular, one of the main properties and differences is that such horse riding boots are tested to withstand pressure on soft ground, which traditional steel toe cap shoes don’t. This means that when you are in the field and get trodden on, the sole of the shoe won’t give way.

Overall, toe protection in horse riding boots is becoming more popular, and certainly the next time your horsey friend quietly stamps on your foot, you will be glad of the protection (or wish that you had it!). Whilst perhaps less necessary for people who only ride and do not handle horses, it is something worth considering for the others who deal with horses on a regular basis.
