Effective Online Marketing

October 31, 2006

Choosing the Right Solution

Before you throw away precious capital on search engine optimization, pay-per-click or any other tactic, be sure you or your provider does the research first!  A strategic web site marketing plan is similar to a business marketing plan, but with a narrower focus (i.e. the web site plan focuses on Internet marketing strategy and tactics while the overall marketing plan encompasses the entire business).

   

Why Do I Need A Marketing Plan?

The lack of a strategic Internet marketing plan often results in shotgun approaches, unproven strategies, guesswork and resource squandering before companies begin to see positive results, if they ever do. With Internet marketing, just like traditional marketing, if you fail to plan you plan to fail. With change occurring at rapid speed on the Internet, what worked last month may not work today. Pick a provider that strives daily to stay on the leading of Internet marketing.     

     

 

Getting Help:

Avoid "Black Box" solutions and get educated:

Look for a consultant or firm that has experience creating comprehensive, detailed on-line marketing plans based on the research they perform specific to your industry and your website. The plan should explain each marketing campaign, channel and tactic in detail, including examples, tips and best practices which are determined to be most effective for your unique budget and market niche.

      
Web site marketing plan checklist:

  • Links to specific resources and recommendations for products which may help during the execution of the plan
  • Competitive market research including performance metrics for a few few of your top competitors
  • Keyword research and keyword recommendations
  • Carefully chosen tactics and suggestions on how they can be rolled out as a phased implementation plan
  • The plan should be prepared for you in an easy to follow step-by-step format so that you can choose to either do the work yourself or retain the consultant to manage the campaigns for you
Your Needs Are Unique:
Your Strategic Internet Marketing Plan is the foundation on which all of your Internet marketing decisions are based on. It is a critical and necessary prerequisite to ensure the best return on your investment (ROI) by effectively executing any marketing.
Measure & Change:
If you're not measuring your traffic, you are flying blind. Fortunately, most everything on the web can be tracked and there are many advanced yet affordable analysis tools which can be constantly monitored so you may continually tune your campaign(s) for better conversions.
