This is a story that was shared with me by my oldest brother concerning a friend of his. His friend purchased a piece of land on a mountain in Maine. There he lives off the land. Apparently, he has a great technique for hunting deer. It is called acorns. Yeah, that’s right. Why go off into the woods when you can cause the deer to come to your back yard? It’s called working smarter not harder. LOL
In the winter when food is scarce the deer take to certain areas like swamps and sometimes group together for survival. A bad winter can take many of them out. So, anyway, this hunter came up with a brilliant hunting idea knowing they would be out in search for food, which was scarce during this time.
Acorns Catch The Deer
Acorns is one of the food items deer eat. So, in winter, he would lay out acorns at the bottom of the mountain he was on and waited. He knew what they would be searching for and provided it. Sure enough, knowing his market, they did come, and well, Bambi met his fate. Sorry to all the non meat eaters, but this is a hunting story.
What does this have to do with attraction marketing? A lot actually. Part of the skill of hunting deer is to know the routine, the habits, of the deer. Where and when they feed, mate, sleep, etc. Hunters search for tracks, rubs, poop, as well as scrapes. They often will do this weeks before they even go hunting. Why, they are understanding their market.
They are tracking the habits of the deer, like a company would track the buying habits of people (the market). Again, they do this long before they even go after the deer. They do not go out blindly, not even 2 or 3 days before the hunt, to avoid creating an unsettled feeling in the deer and scare him off. Amazing stuff here!
This brings about this simple point said by many professional network marketers and internet marketers alike, KNOW YOUR MARKET. Do the research. Spend the quality time preparing for your “HUNT” so to speak. If you don’t, good chance you won’t have a deer in the bed of your truck either.
