Marketing online is similar to offline, but, it's a little easier to be found online by your target market and a lot cheaper.
The reason for this - the internet provides your information to the people searching as quick as a keyword and a click! It's comprehensive and it's green! No paper costs, printing costs or mailing costs. People searching for what you've got, find it in the comfort of their home on their computer. Their next step is to communicate with you via form, email, phone or payment processor.
You are left with fewer phone calls to place ads, fewer people to strategize with, fewer events to hold and no need to hire extra sales people to promote for you, etc.
If you are a retail business, you might need additional sales clerks to handle the traffic, but, that's a good thing!
If you are a direct sales or mlm business, you'll simply have more buying traffic hitting your web site.
If you have a service business, you'll answer more email and hear your phone ring more!
Most all traffic enhancing strategies are done via internet forms to advertising agents, posting fresh content on your web site, posting articles where your ideal customer will find them and perhaps podcasts or videos or both.
If you are just starting your online business, you may need:
- domain
- autoresponder
- hosting
- web site
- payment processor
These five elements give you a permanent address on the worldwide web so that your ideal customer can review your offer and buy from you.
Once your permanent address is set up, you'll need a marketing plan. A road map for how and what to communicate to your ideal customer about
your brand. They are literally counting on you to get your message to them. Marketing is the ongoing process that keeps the business healthy.
