The Tips that Work
Directory Listings
Prior to launching any marketing campaign, a good tip is to join website directories that offer a link back to your website. This is an important factor in web marketing as it ensures that once your marketing campaign efforts are completed – a link to your website will always be a guiding path back to your site for new and existing customers.
Website Traffic
In order for any website or marketing campaign to be effective, traffic is required. If nobody sees what you have to show, your efforts are worthless. There are numerous ways to promote your website and generate quality traffic; Goolge Adwords, Yahoo and Bing pay per click methods and other initiatives such as SEO, Affiliate Marketing and Email Marketing.
Landing Pages
A landing page is similar to your website, however it is a much more targeted page created specifically for one purpose – to inform and to sell a product or service. A landing page should have a “showcase” of what you are selling, and ensure that a sale is made through a phone number, form fill or any action required causing a conversion.
Testimonials
Testimonials and success stories act as a guaranteed sale. When potential customers see that others have purchased, and were satisfied – they will more likely purchase and be satisfied as well. Promoting past customers on your website, landing page or in all of your marketing efforts can only result in a positive effect.
Compelling Offers
One of the simplest ways to capture a potential customer is to offer something for free, whether it is a free trial or a money back guarantee – you will capture the customer’s information and be able to close the sale at a later point.
Compelling Offers
As much as internet marketing is effective, there are a large number of people who still have trust issues with the web, and entering their personal information online. Providing your customers with a service number they can call, speak to a live person – or simply becoming a credible online source through use of secure and verified logos such as BBB Online, Trust-e or VeriSign will present you and your website as a safe and secure source to do business with.
