Internet Marketing vs. Traditional Marketing

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Business website and implementing it in your marketing plan - The best piece of advice to receive when you’re having a new website built is to make sure that a search engine expert is in on the process so that your site is built for natural search placement from the start. At Suite 171, we have expert search engine optimization experience and we know what works for great natural search engine placement.

Why is natural search engine placement a top priority? It’s to save you money in the long run. Think about it. Why do you have a site? You have a website to increase business. If your site cannot be found, it is not increasing your business, no matter how great your site looks. If your website is built in flash with amazing graphics, or your content is embedded inside the graphics, you may have a great looking site that no one will see, because search engines can’t find it naturally.

If you’re looking to be found online feel free to ask us how.

Here’s my point. Say you have this beautiful site that the search engines can’t find because all of your content is embedded in your graphics. Now how do people find you? They find you by already knowing your business name or through your traditional marketing efforts of your website address. You pay to have your business cards printed with your web address; you pay to put ads that include your web address in the paper, in magazines, on TV, on radio, and other places; you pay for brochures that you then pay to mail to a mailing list that you’ve paid to receive, and the list goes on. You are paying and paying and you are working hard to get people to visit your website.

Whether you’re thinking of a new website, a site redesign, building leads, or campaign tracking, we can help.

Imagine this alternative…

Your website has been properly built and optimized for natural search engine placement. Joe Public, and many others just like him, is looking for the product or service that you provide. He types it into a web search and your site appears among the top 25 listings. He clicks on your site and reads about you, sees your terrific call to action and fills out the contact form to get more information from you. You now have a qualified lead from someone that is truly interested in being contacted by you. You didn’t have to work hard to get it because your site has been set up to do all the hard work for you. Doesn’t this sound more attractive than how hard you thought you had to work at getting customers?

Can you get better results from your website? Contact Suite171 today to learn more.

What makes us special?

Advertising & marketing trends, methods, and what works now

Thursday, June 10th, 2010

Do you use a website, copy writing, creative marketing, custom website design, print ads, or online marketing to reach people? Some copy writing and content placement is needed to enhance your brand and online website position, but look at the new trends, and new methods.

 

New Advertising and Marketing Methods

A Recent new trend in marketing is creating a series of 1 to 3 second commercials.  They are less expensive to produce and also cost less for air time. This is one type of guerrilla marketing which is an unconventional approach to marketing series of 1-3 second commercial spots that relies on time, energy and imagination not a big marketing budget.

 

 

1 and 3 Second Ads & Super Bowl Commercial Marketing Ideas or are they marketing trends?

Interesting way to save money for advertising, and opens the door to any average Joe to publish his or her, own 1 to 3 second commercial but will it be as effective? These types of advertisements are great for brands that everyone identifies with, but does it work for businesses that people don’t even know that exist?  Check out the Super Bowl ads here Hulu.com

 

View Some New Marketing and advertising trends: Anheuser Busch  1secondad.com you should also expect to see these types of ads from Federal Express and General Motors.

 

Hulu.com We have actually visited Hulu.com when it was first introduced, and is an exceptional concept. I really hope it will compete with local cable, Cable One, DirecTV, dish network, Midco or any TV or Cable service provider. Maybe they will cut out the many useless shopping channels, and enable customers to select only channels they watch. Hint… hint…

 

Viral marketing could be one of the most cost-effective ways to promote a product or service, but the key component is viral. You can spend a lot of time and money to produce and create buzz, but a true viral campaign gets forwarded because consumers are compelled to do so.

 

Interesting facts about online marketing:

Your website can be an exceptional marketing tool “IF” you can be found. Yep - Location, Location, Location this means page one.  

 

Blogs are now the seed campaign of choice, optimized press releases come in second, but YouTube can be a very effective marketing vehicle where any average Joe can shoot a video the key is to upload compelling content, and connect with your audience or target market.
