Learn To Be Seen By The Right Kind of People
The key to marketing is raising visibility of the product or service you wish to sell. In modern society, the internet is one of the main places that people are able to see products or services; but there is so much information on the internet, that it is very easy for anything you put there to go unnoticed.
If you want to be noticed, it is important what you say, how you say it, where and when you say it.
- Recognise Information Overload -People are confronted with excessive quantities of information. Most things only get glanced at. If you don’t catch a person’s attention in a split second, you may well lose all opportunity to have them notice any detail in your message. Visual image is important.
- Become Readily Accessible -Some things are easier to find than others even when people are searching for you. The more ways that people can find you, the more likely you are to be found. Different prospective customers will search for your services in different places, and using different search terms. You need to predetermine how they will look for you, and build lots of different pathways that lead them to where you are.
THE INTERNET IS A GREAT MARKETING TOOL
BUT
LIKE ANY TOOL -YOU MUST USE IT PROPERLY!
The internet contains an overwhelming variety of tools that can be used for marketing. This poses three main dangers when using internet marketing.
- Being so overwhelmed with choices, and doing nothing
- Not considering all of the options, and missing the best opportunities
- Being misled by so called "experts" who don't know or understand your product or business properly.
The initiatives you choose to pursue should be chosen giving full regard to the product or service you are attempting to market, and the demographic you are attempting to reach.
Certain demographic groups will be reached better with certain internet tools.
Not everyone uses social media, and the way in which different groups use social media is constantly changing.
Certain directories might work for certain products, but the fact that a directory exists, and gets a lot of traffic, might not help you if the wrong sort of people are using it, or they are using it for the wrong reason.
