INTERNET MARKETING TIPS








THESE ARE SOME OF OUR KEY TIPS FOR IMPROVING WEBSITE PERFORMANCE & INCREASING YOUR WEBSITE MARKETING.

IMAD SCOTLAND CAN PROVIDE AN ONGOING SERVICE TO IMPLEMENT MANY OF THESE IDEAS WITHIN DIFFERNET PACKAGE STRUCTURES.

FOR SUCCESSFUL WEBSITE PERFORMANCE AND DEVELOPMENT WE ADVISE:


  • THE INTERNET MUST BE AT THE CENTRE OF YOUR BUSINESS IT MUST BE DEVELOPED CONTINUALLY
  • YOU MUST UTILISE EMAIL MARKETING TO CAPTURE WEBSITE VISITORS EMAIL ADDRESSES
  • PAY PER CLICK MARKETING IS VERY EFFECTIVE BUT MUST ALSO BE IN UNISON WITH EMAIL MARKETING & 'CAPTURING' CUSTOMERS OTHERWISE PEOPLE VISIT YOUR SITE AND MOVE ON WITHOUT YOU EVER INTERACTING
  • FIGURES SUGGEST ONLY 1 or 2% OF VISITORS WILL CONTACT YOU WITHOUT THIS EMAIL MARKETING STRATEGY
  • PROPER MARKETING CAN INCREASE THIS BY UP TO 10 - 20% EASILY
  • YOU MUST TEST YOUR MARKETING BY KEEPING FIGURES & STATISTICS - i.e. SALES PER WEEK IN RELATION TO YOUR MARKETING, NUMBER OF NEW WEEKLY ENQUIRIES, etc.,
  • IF YOU USE GOOGLE ADWORDS IT MUST BE CONTINUALLY MONITORED AND ADAPTED TO INCREASE HITS
  • CAPTURE VISITORS TO YOUR WEBSITE BY GETTING THEM TO GIVE YOU THEIR EMAIL ADDRESS
  • THIS STARTS A RELATIONSHIP AND WILL BRING FUTURE SALES
  • MOST PEOPLE WONT BUY OR EVEN CONTACT YOU WITH AN ENQUIRY ON A FIRST VISIT
  • MOST VISITORS MOVE FROM SITE TO SITE QUICKLY
  • ENCOURAGE THEM TO SIGN UP WITH TIPS, FREE OFFERS ETC
  • GIVE THEM BENEFITS DON'T SELL STRAIGHT AWAY BUILD A RELATIONSHIP AND DIALOGUE
  • DON'T LET PAST CUSTOMERS DISAPPEAR AFTER THEY HAVE BOUGHT FROM YOU - GET THEIR EMAILS
  • THIS IS AN UNTAPPED FUTURE INCOME AND ALSO IS GOOD FOR REFERRALS OR RESALE'S OF OTHER PRODUCTS
  • EXPAND SERVICES - UPSELL e.g. NEW PRODUCTS, ASSOCIATED PRODUCTS, NEW ITEMS, UPGRADES, OTHER SERVICES
  • YOU MUST SET UP AN AUTOMATED EMAIL MARKETING SYSTEM TO CAPTURE VISITORS TO YOUR SITE AND SEND THEM OUT PERSONALIZED EMAILS
  • YOU CAN EITHER BUY SOFTWARE AND ADD IT TO YOUR OWN SITE OR USE AN ONLINE EMAIL MARKETING COMPANY FOR A FEE
  • YOUR WEBSITE SHOULD BE YOUR START TO BUILDING A POTENTIAL RELATIONSHIP WITH EVERY VISITOR TO IT
  • YOU COULD GET THEM TO SIGN UP BY OFFERING FREE ARTICLES AND ADVICE
  • IT'S NOT ENOUGH JUST TO HAVE A GOOD WEBSITE - YOU MUST THEN MARKET IT & INTERACT WITH YOUR WEBSITE VISITORS
  • MOST PEOPLE VISITING A SITE WILL NEVER BUY OR CONTACT YOU STRAIGHT AWAY
  • TESTING & MEASURING - YOU MUST TRACK WHAT WORKS IN MARKETING AND WHAT DOESN'T
  • IF IT WORKS INCREASE IT - IF IT DOESN'T RETURN SOMETHING, CANCEL IT - E.G. PRINT ADVERTS
  • THIS IS THE KEY FOUNDATION TO BUSINESS MARKETING AND SUCCESS
  • SELL THE BENEFITS OF YOUR PRODUCTS MORE THAN THE FEATURES
  • MAKE IRRESISTIBLE STAND OUT OFFERS EVERY SO OFTEN BUT DO NOT DECREASE PRICES, OFFER EXTRAS ETC
  • ITS WORTH SPENDING £1000 ON MARKETING IF IT RETURNS £5000 £ 10000 etc BUT YOU NEED TO MEASURE IT
  • IF YOU DON'T SPEND THE £1000 - YOU HAVE SAVED THAT - BUT YOU WILL NEVER HAVE MADE THE POTENTIAL INCREASE YOU HAD
  • YOU NEED A MULTI STEP SALES PROCESS OF MARKETING WITH A FOLLOW UP PROCEDURE
  • DON'T LET PEOPLE GO AFTER ONE ENQUIRY
  • IT CAN TAKE UP TO 7 INTERACTIONS FOR MANY PEOPLE TO BUY FROM YOU
  • FOLLOW UP WITH EMAILS, TELESALES, DIRECT MAILINGS etc
  • PRICING - U PROBABLY DON'T CHARGE ENOUGH - DON'T BE AFRAID TO INCREASE PRICES
  • DON'T DECREASE PRICES GIVE A GREAT SERVICE PEOPLE DO NOT BUY ON PRICE ALONE
  • CONSIDER VIDEO MARKETING - THIS HAS A HIGH VALUE STATUS TO BUYERS & SALES RETURN
  • MAKE UR ADVERTISING ABOUT YOUR CUSTOMERS AND BENEFITS TO THEM NOT ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS OR YOU
  • YOU NEED MULTIPLE MARKETING PROCESSES RUNNING AT THE SAME TIME - WEBSITE, PRINT, TELESALES, EMAIL MARKETING, ADVERT LINKS TO YOUR SITE ON OTHER WEBSITES, JOINT PROMOTIONAL TIE UPS WITH ASSOCIATED COMPANIES, RESELLING/UPSELLING TO PAST CUSTOMERS, PAY PER CLICK WEBSITE ADVERTIZING, FREE PR e.g. NEWSPAPER ARTICLES, MAGAZINES,
  • YOU MUST MONITOR EACH ONES EFFECTIVENESS CONTINUALLY
  • YOUR WEBSITE MUST BE AT THE HEART OF YOUR MARKETING STRATEGY


GOOGLE ADWORDS PAY PER CLICK ADVERTIZING

  • GOOGLE ADWORDS PAY PER CLICK ADVERTIZING IS HIGHLY POPULARBUT IT NEEDS MONITORED CONTINUALLY AND A LOT OF TIME SPENT ON IT CONTINUALLY KEEPING STATS
