I do not know how long you’ve been in business for all what exposure you’ve had to do with marketing and advertising. For the last twenty years I have been either running my own companies or managing a corporate company. In each of these organizations sales and marketing has been the cornerstone of my career. About twelve years ago I started my own Internet service providing company mainly focusing on web development and online marketing.
I must admit that twelve years ago I think I jumped the gun as most people could not spell email. However I went out to show companies how they can actually build a portfolio of their products and services that could be viewed 24 hours per day and from any part of the world. It took off well and myself and my partner were responsible for building some amazing web sites for customers. The partner’s key focus was on web development and my key focus was on Internet marketing. We decided to go our separate ways and he bought me out. We’re still great friends and when I have the technical website that needs to be developed I pass work over to him.
Over the last few years before I started my own Internet marketing company has spent time consulting in the corporate industry. With my exposure To traditional media and online media these companies were happy for me to run different campaigns for them. One the key reasons these companies liked my strategies was that I had formulated a plan of action from the advert through to closing the sale. Most of these companies did not have a way of monitoring the results from the advertising. To me This is a huge issue because they did not know if they were wasting their money. I will make up a few steps that these companies would follow to ensure they knew where the client got the name and number from.
Internet marketing is so much better in my eyes as it removes all that guesswork. You know how many people are searching for your product or service and what is more you know these people would not be searching if they were not in the market. If your website is ranked on the first page of Google or any other search engine you should get the exposure and the click through to your website. With the right Tracking software into your website you will know where every visitor to came from to how long they staid on a site. By building and the right easy to use inquiry forms it is so simple to see what your return of investment is.
Some of my clients have their phone numbers on their web sites and this just means that the staff answering the phone has to be trained to ask the potential clients where they found you. You work hard for your money so they is no reason why it should be wasted. I work very hard In getting marketing results for my clients and I am adamant that this result needs to be measured. How do I know if my marketing does not need to be tweaked so it can achieve a higher is up for you if you do not assist?
