Online Marketing Matrix
Business owners are facing a harsh reality: A website in itself offers no guarantee of business. “If you build it they will come” is a cliché that has misled many into believing all a company needed was an online presence to succeed. However, without a strategic marketing plan and a tactical approach, you’re more likely to fail than to reach your goals. Proper planning will not only improve your chances of success, but it will also keep you from throwing away money on e-commerce fiascos.
Creating Effective Email Newsletters
Some, even, most of you, have used email to drive sales and support customer retention. As our options for development and delivery grow more complex, it becomes even more important to remember the basics. This article will focus on the fundamental concepts in building email newsletters.
Creating Thought Leadership Through Online Media
Technology has made marketing and business communications faster, easier and more competitive than ever. In the seven years since starting ShoutStream, we’ve seen a lot of changes. For example, lifeless banner ads have transformed into dynamic units. Video is quickly turning mainstream. And users are now, actively, participating in content and media development.
Creating Interactive Marketing
Constant innovations in technology and the Internet are forcing us to rethink the way we do business. Wise marketers are responding to this change by incorporating interactive elements into their marketing plans. These efforts are yielding stronger customer loyalty, better leads and higher returns on investments.
The Expense of Online Marketing
Internet Marketing is the water that helps grow your business. With this in mind, why do many decision makers of business development spend prolonged amounts of time evaluating proposals that can help them increase business. My theory is that it is the lack of education regarding the cost of marketing their business. I am not speaking on an allotment of budget for a marketing campaign but the time and business lose for every day that the marketing does not start. In many cases, the budget for the project will stay relatively the same. The difference is that these businesses have started the race well after their competition.
The No Cost Marketing Method
Marketing cost. Whether it is time or money, marketing cost. The key is how much of it will give you a return. If you can develop a marketing campaign that gives you greater return than your investment, then your marketing cost you nothing but time. But this is time well spent. On the other hand if you do not market it is also costing you, severely. If you do not market, then the marketplace does not know you exist, thus you loose business. I ask you, is it better to spend a thousand dollars to make a million or to save a thousand dollars and make a hundred? This is a no brainer but many companies fall into this trap. Now I am not saying go out and spend the farm on advertisements. You know the saying a fool and his money soon parts. I am saying to strategically place your brand in places that will generate you business. You can do this with low cost and high returns.
