Sun, 25 Dec 2011 00:36:40 -0600

In an earlier article, I explained a number of techniques for successfully using Traffic Exchanges TEs to promote your product and service websites. Among the most important of those techniques was the use of Splash Pages in the Traffic Exchange surf rotation rather than the actual site. The reason is simple, but requires an understanding of the how Traffic Exchanges function.In most cases, your main sales site contains a great deal of information. This would include the productsservices you offer, information about you andor your company, contact information, and so on. For your promotion efforts outside of Traffic Exchanges, you do of course want to present as much information as possible. However, using your main site in a traffic exchange doesn't often result in a high conversion rate. The reason: the typical traffic exchange only shows the site for - seconds in the surfframe rotator before the TE user is allowed to "click" an icon to go to the next page. Since most peop...

The Viral Marketing Value of eMail

Mon, 19 Dec 2011 00:40:36 -0600

Viral Marketing using e-mail is not an objective. It is part of a campaign strategy that is used to achieve objectives. In order to achieve greater branding success exposure, you craft your e-mail message or offer in a way that it encourages pass-along. Viral marketing is all about producing a message with a quality offer or incentive for pass-along.Just suggesting that email recipients forward your message to their friends is not viral marketing. Just a message at the bottom of your email that says, "Feel free to forward this message to a friend" is certainly not viral marketing at its best. You must offer something worthy of being shared... a valuable discount, vital and timely information, a bit of humor, or a quiz or personality test. Offer an incentive for sharing like additional entries into a sweepstakes or an added discount. Viral Marketing happens naturally. It is very often quite successful. Let's say that you receive two e-commerce offers in your in-box. Both of them are...

Why "Niche Marketing" Will Die Its Own Death!

Tue, 06 Dec 2011 00:44:58 -0600

Take any marketing literature and you come across experts who are talking about finding a niche and exploiting it. They tell you that, one should create a new market for your business thus making the competition irrelevant. But, the reality is that finding a niche will only work if you can fulfill three important criteria: It should be profitable to serve that market It should have enough number of buyers to make your business sustainable The market should be growing so that you can continue meeting the demand for a long time.If the niche is not profitable then there is no incentive for you as a business owner to serve it, if the business is profitable but it has low number of buyers then you wont be able to sell to as many people to meet your financial goals and finally, if the market is not supposed to grow then one day there will be no more buyers to sell to.
