Internet Marketing Information
The Newest Marketing Course
Certainly the newest earth quaking event in Internet Marketing insider circles is the release of John Reese's New, Traffic Secrets marketing course.
A Point in Every Direction is the Same As No Point At All
Ever try to be something for everyone and find no one wants it? Do you have trouble
finding the time to focus on your business? Do you do so much for so many that
you find it's difficult to make any financial progress in your business; much less
make an indelible mark in the mind of your potential customers? I found myself on
that road so many times, that I could be a tour guide for Please-want-me-ville.
Looking for Sky In All The Wrong Places
Ever sit with a single puzzle piece of clouds and wonder how you will ever put the
entire sky together? Life as an entrepreneur is often just like that-- lots of the little
pieces, creating products, taking care of clients, wrestling with computers, finances,
taxes, etc.-- and a whole lot of sky. The big open space where you create a
successful and enjoyable business. There were many pieces of 'puzzle sky', I was
drowning in an ocean of sky blue. After over a decade of struggling with my own
company to fit all the 'pieces' together, I have finally put together the big business
puzzle-- and it's not what I thought it would look like.
Most Wanted Response... How To Make It Work
"When I walked into the grocery store last Saturday, I was
just 'browsing.' But... their MWR was obvious. Because,... I
could smell the 'hot fresh baked bread' in the bakery
department. They must have arranged to circulate that
aroma all over the store. Yep... I knew at that moment, their
MWR.
Defining Moment
Do you know your audiences? I mean really know them. I?ve just been working on a project for a client to help him position his financial planning business and to determine who his key audiences are.
Common traits and common media habits are a couple of the characteristics we uncovered. In this particular case, the audience was high net worth individuals who tend to be conservative, and who are not mainstream media lovers or consumers. When they do consume media, it tends to be conservative talk radio or FOX News. They trust opinions of friends and colleagues, not the media. So, advertising is not the way to reach them.
We will launch a referral program and try to place the client?s editorial material in business-oriented media and on local talk radio in his key markets. Also, we are implementing a speaker?s bureau to get him in front of civic and professional groups. So, you can see how defining the audience using demographic, geographic and psychographic elements dictates our marketing approach from a tactical perspective.
Your current customers hold the key to geographic, demographic and psychographic attributes of your key audience. Survey them to find out:
Why did your clients buy your product?
Why did they buy from you and not a competitor?
What made them buy from you at a specific point in time?
Was it an impulse decision or did they ponder it?
What do they like the most/least about your product?
What is the benefit of the product?
Are they willing to refer others to your product?
What is their age?
Are they readers? What do they read?
Do they watch TV; listen to the radio; read newspapers? What is their most trusted media source?
These are just a few things you?ll want to learn about your audiences. If you delve into what makes them tick, it will put your marketing on steroids. And, as Martha would say, ?that?s a good thing.?
Determining Visitor Types
The trade show floor is full of different types of people with different agendas. Some people have specific goals for attending the show; others do not. As an exhibitor your observation and questioning skills will be your key to determining who may be a viable sales prospect. Familiarize yourself with the various visitor types likely to frequent the tradeshow floor.
Adapting Blog Technologies To Corporate E-Newsletters
Every January, trade publications put out a list of predictions for the coming year. They discuss products, services and trends that they think will change the way business is done, labeling these "disruptive technologies."
The idea of disruptive technologies comes from Clayton Christensen's 1997 book, The Innovator's Dilemma: When New Technologies Cause Great Firms to Fail. A disruptive technology is a method, procedure, skill, device, or material that redefines the competitive standards. Note that the technology doesn't have to be a physical item and that it often forces us to re-examine the way we work.
Mission Statement Impossible
Dant dant da da dant dant da da. Dant dant da da dant dant da da. (That's the
theme from "Mission Impossible"...)FADE IN.
Are You Marketing Backwards?
Marketing is like rowing a boat. When you know how the
pointed bow moves smoothly forward through the water
encountering the least amount of resistance. Rowing
backwards, the square stern of the boat pushes against the
water, requiring more effort and increases the risk of
having a wave come over the transom (back) and swamping
it.
Yet most people market backwards, trying to grow their
business while pushing against the greatest level of
resistance.
Testing Your Way To Prosperity
I have always enjoyed talking to a Realtor friend of mine about his Father-in-laws business. His business is Gold Mining and he has been involved in it full time for nearly his whole life. My friend has a good relationship with his Father-in-law and often spends time helping him in this business and has learned a lot about prospecting and mining and the other facets of this extremely risky industry.
A Questionnaire for Businesses
As best you can, answer the following twenty-five questions. There's no scoring. But
you?ll know whether you should be satisfied with your answers, or not. If you aren?t,
perhaps you have some work to do.
Cave Paintings, Baseball and Connecting
There?s no such thing as a captive audience--any of us can tune out at will. It may
surprise you, then, to know that keeping people?s attention in this high-tech age
takes the same know-how we had in neolithic days.
Getting Into Marketing Momentum ... The Accelerated Way
GETTING INTO MARKETING MOMENTUM: The 5 Power Principles for Getting Your Business into High Gear
Self-Promotion on a Zero Budget
Recently, I?ve received a few e-mails from people asking me for advice on how to get started in the writing biz. When I stop to think about it, maybe I?ve been lucky to accomplish this much writing in a short time. I have accidentally discovered a way to self-promote my work. It starts with an interest in Web design and a friend who needs a Web site for her professional organization. I volunteer to do it to get Web design experience.
To Web or Not to Web?
Do I need a web site? That is the question often asked by business owners.
