44% of Small Businesses
Still Don’t Have a Web Site
2009-06-28 05:32:23
Over at Frank Thinking, contributing Pilgrim Frank Reed shares
a study that reveals just why it’s so hard to get small
businesses to break their local newspaper/yellow pages advertising
habit.
Then why shocked?? Why? Because they’re still using
the darn things! Even though a staggering 44% of small businesses
don’t yet have a web site–with 78% of them spending
5% or less on internet advertising–there is some hope
that small business owners are (finally) waking up to the
web.
* 23% say they use the Yellow pages less
* 42% say they use the local newspaper less Over the past
two years,
43% of small businesses say they have increased use of search
engines in their marketing efforts. In contrast, use of traditional
small business advertising mediums is on the decline:
While 82% of consumers turn to the search engines when finding
a local business, only 69% of small business owners do the
same. I’m shocked! Either the glass is half empty (will
small businesses ever "get" the internet) or half
full (small businesses are a hot target for marketers). What’s
your take on the numbers?

Follow Up Marketing
is Better than Advertising
2008-12-20 12:03:33
Have you ever heard the saying, "I know that I waste
half of my advertising budget? The problem is I don't know
which half!" It is this very philosophy that is prompting
me to strongly inform you... advertising doesn't work!
Let me show you why: There is no way to track effectiveness
(or ineffectiveness)
It's impersonal
The target audience is too large
It's costly to redo or improve
There is no call to action
What surprises me is the number of small business owners
that save their marketing dollars just to waste them on ineffective
advertising. Then, they complain because nothing is working
and they don't have any customers.
I know what you're thinking, "Isn't advertising and
marketing the same thing?" Well, not really.
Let me explain the differences.
Advertising includes: commercials, billboards, radio, and
newspapers.
Marketing includes: emails, letters, postcards, and fax.
So how is follow-up marketing better than advertising?
You can track response rates
You can quickly change campaigns that aren't working
You can specifically target your audience
It leads prospects to an immediate sell
If you really want to attract more customers, you will learn
to market and leave the advertising to those gazillion dollar
companies.
More traffic = more
money It's simple math
2008-12-03 09:11:36
Keep it to yourself.
If you generate an income online (or plan to soon),one thing
is for sure.
===> You need traffic
More traffic = more money It's
simple math.
The challenge we all face is, how to get more traffic. With
the fierce competition using pay-per-click advertising, it's
tough to get direct heap traffic anymore. And getting natural
(organic) search engine traffic isn't easy either.
Once gain, competition is cut-throat. Also, when you factor
in link building, social marketing, video marketing... all
this adds up to 2-3 weeks of grunt work before you even see
a glimmer of results. Rather than spend *more* time away from
your friends and family (chained to the computer) trying to
generate traffic....
What if I could show you how to get *other* people to do
all this work for you... ... Get thousands of online customers
to talk about your website(s), send you traffic 24/7, and
give you niche-specific quality back links, and promote your
sites throughout the top social media sites and many more.
Imagine how much more successful you *could* be by having
this kind of leverage through an army of people helping you
dominate the search engines. (... and no, I am *not* talking
about outsourcing here or using some auto-robot software.
This is way, way more powerful. Plus it's completely Google
friendly) Aren't you a tad curious about what I am talking
about here? I am opening the doors to a service that has been
under the radar for several months. Actually, it's more of
an under-the-radar army than anything. This is the first time

Result Oriented Facebook
Advertisement Pakistan Dubai UK USA Australia Africa
2009-07-16 10:10:22
Facebook advertisement is getting hot these days as digital
marketing progresses to it’s youth. There has been many
good and bad experiences about Facebook advertisement, but
I believe advertisement always produce traffic and branding…
If advertisement was dead, no one would be using signboards,
TV commercials etc. because it has worked for them.
FACEBOOK ADVERTISEMENT We are offering cheapest “Facebook
ads management services” in Pakistan, Dubai, UK, USA
and Australia.
The main reason behind a result oriented Facebook advertisement
is the effectiveness of ads and attraction of the products
and industry. If someone says he has bad experience with Facebook
advertisement, it may be the lack of interest in his product
or unprofessional experts behind the campaigns.
A GOOD RETURN ON INVESTMENT So, we are now just a few days
into the Facebook advertising and we are getting results.
Yes, it’s very early to tell but the costs are negligible
compared to something like Adwords so we are more than happy
to keep this stream of traffic going for now having spent
just 1 US DOLLAR on 60 visitors (according to Facebook). We
recently ran a campaign on Facebook for one of our high tech
clients. The program was geared towards college students,
a perfect audience for targeting on Facebook because you can
select them down to the nth degree (age, sex, location, college,
relationship status, etc.). Plus as you keep narrowing down
your desired audience you can see what the universe size is.
It is pretty cost effective from an awareness standpoint however
our campaign saw the most clicks when we bid close to what
they had recommended. For programs using Facebook social ads,
I would suggest using your logo and offer inside of the graphic.
AWARENESS AND BRANDING Think of Facebook as a medium to create
awareness rather than a medium to generate leads. So brand
building will be a high in terms of Facebook ads. The crowd
that comes to Facebook is too diverse and probably not even
business inclined. They are most interested in listening and
seeing than doing something in the business sense. So trying
to get their audience to do something is not a wise investment.
It is possible to create a following or a mass which appeals
to the youth ego in the sense of a fashion statement, new
game which folks can play online, etc but for b2b it is not
yet ideal.
