Archive for the ‘General’ CategoryThree Awesome Ways To Market Your Company and Create Your Branding Identity!Tuesday, July 29th, 2008Free Speech Give a “free” speech about a topic involving your industry. Don’t talk in terms of your product directly though; engage the audience with information that is beneficial to them and teases them with your product. If you’re a Heating and Air Conditioning company for example, give a free speech on how to save money on energy costs throughout the year. This way you’ll be perceived as an industry leader, not just another salesperson. You want people to think of you as a valuable resource. There are organizations that love to have guest speakers. When was the last time you had an audience listen to what you have to say concerning an issue that your product addresses? When one of those audience members has a Heating or Air Conditioning issue, who do you think they’ll call? Through your creative use of speech, you’ll build rapport, credibility, and trust. People want to do business with people they like and trust! Don’t you?

And so on, and so on… I put together a lens in Squidoo that explains various business models in the Marketing/Advertising Industry and what their responsibilities are. Keep in mind that there is much overlap. Some companies may carry the same title, but provide a wide variety of services while others are tightly niched.

Who is Your Target Audience
Internet LeadsTuesday, June 10th, 2008Many companies call us inquiring about lead generation over the internet, only to find that pay per click is extemely expensive for their industry. Pay per click is a great program when used properly. It can be very expensive for certain markets, but it can generate immediate results. Great Social Media Tools and WidgetsTuesday, June 10th, 2008It amazes me the amount of free widgets and tools available to the Social Media crowd and across the different platforms. I’ve been collecting as I happen across them, but I’m sure I’m missing TONS more!
Plus all the great widgets available from Social networking sites, social bookmarking sites, etc… Have you come across any cool widgets or tools that you can’t live without? If you have, please share Franchises, Internet Marketing, and Social MediaThursday, June 5th, 2008A main goal of any franchise corporation is to sell franchises. I think it’s easier than ever for a franchise to build their brand’s reputation over the internet. For example, if you owned a fast food franchise, you could search on Goolge for blogs that are industry related. Get in on the conversations and contribute. Provide valuable feedback on the topics being discussed. Ensure to insert a backlink to your website or blog whenever possible. Another suggestion I have for franchisors selling franchises is to contribute to community sites sucha as LinkedIn and facebook. Join and start your own groups within communities. You’ll soon find that it’s not too difficult to connect with people that are interested in similar Franchising topic(s). I have started a Squidoo lense that is designed to provide information to Franchises on how they can grow rapidly using social media and web 2.0 technologies. For more information, you can visit the lens here: Franchise Marketing Ideas Please bookmark the site as I will try to update with more information on a regular basis. Useful Website Traffic Reporting ToolTuesday, May 27th, 2008Want to know how much traffic a website gets? Want to know what the percentage of female visitors on that website is? Quantcast.com is a website that allows advertisers to view visitor reports on websites. It also allows website publishers the opportunity to pull website traffic data to demonstrate value to their advertisers. You can also use it to gain insight on visitor demographics for any website. We have noticed though, that the website has to gain enough traffic to be listed. You can also use to gain valuable insight on your competitors websites.
Using Web 2.0 For Business DevelopmentThursday, May 22nd, 2008Here are just a few social media sites I like to use to market other websites with: You Tube – I think everyone has seen or heard of YouTube by now. In order to succeed on YouTube and have your video shared, you may want to upload video content that is funny or has some other type of value to your potential audience. A sales pitch about your stuff probably won’t get a large response. The best example I can think of at the moment is a series of videos by a company called, “BlendTec”. The videos are titled, “Will It Blend”. The videos have seen over 20 million views. Now that’s market reach! Facebook – Facebook is one of the most Web 2.0 social networking tools. You can join a group of people that all have a similar interest. You could provide that group with valuable information that relates to your services and or products and draw them to your website.
