For
most businesses and organizations, the Internet should be the
most powerful and cost-effective marketing vehicle ever created,
but most web sites perform far below expectations. The Internet's
real strength is its ability to market to each of your prospect's
individual interests.
Market
To Your Prospects' Interests
Most web sites
market by setting forth their goods and services, list their web
site on Internet Portals (Search Engines and Directories), include
their URL on their materials and ads, and hope the world will
beat a path to their door. Primarily, this harvests traffic from
customers who know and need you. Listing only by your goods and
services mostly excludes your web site from your largest
Internet markets, the prospects who need you but don't know
you.
Portals
Make It Worse:
80% of prospects seeking a new solution do so through the Internet
Portals. Portals use keyword descriptions and meta-tags to position
web sites on lists. This leaves web sites with a bad choice: either
to load up on the keywords and meta-tags that will make them prominent
in a few searches and abandon positioning on the rest, or to go
for a broader range with more average placement.
Even worse,
because Portals will only allow you one designated category for
your web site, you give up other critical category listings, depriving
your prospects of the value you offer and they want. For example,
if you are selling cruise reservations, prospects should (but
can't) find you under Portal categories for "honeymoon",
"romantic", "spa", "gambling", "anniversary",
"family activities", etc. as well as 'cruises'.
NetPromotions'
programs solve these problems and gets your
web site placed simultaneously in every category that addresses
your prospects' needs. This way your prospects find you through
what they need, even if what you offer was not originally what
they had in mind. In addition, our breakthrough web listing programs
give you considerable
added advantages:
For most businesses
and organizations, the Internet should be the most powerful and
cost-effective marketing vehicle ever created, but most web sites
perform far below expectations. NetPromotions considers the Internet
to be much closer to Direct Response marketing than to being a
mass medium.
The
Internet's Strength Is In Being A Collection Of 'Micro-Media',
Not A Mass-Medium:
Each marketing
medium has its strengths
and weaknesses, and should be used accordingly. To date, the
Internet has been misused as a mass-media (like TV or magazines)
to raise awareness when its real strength is to develop prospects'
needs after they are already aware and interested. For example,
you are probably not going to visit Autobytel.com unless you are
already interested in a car, or Travelocity.com unless you are
thinking of travel.
