If Your Business Is Not Taking Advantage Of Mobile Marketing You Are Losing A Ton Of Business!

If Your Business Is Not Taking Advantage Of Mobile Marketing You Are Losing A Ton Of Business!

If you are a business owner and your website is not mobile friendly, which it is estimated, over 50% are not, you are leaving a boat load of money out on the street! Do you realize that mobile searches result in either the searcher visiting your business or at least checking out your website 60% more times than a normal search?

If your website is not mobile friendly, and does not look professional, the mobile user will more than likely just move on to the next site?? Do you really want hat happening? If you don't care, you are making a BIG mistake. Mobile is quickly taking over the market when it comes to business searches, and it is certainly impacting local searches even more so!

Let me give you an example. Say you own a sub shop in your local town. Many people might just be passing through this town and are hungry. It is noon time and they are just looking for a quick bite to eat. If your sub shop isn't mobile friendly or looks terrible when it comes up on a Google search, 97% of the time, the searcher moves on to the next site. Now say, your average lunch check is $25, and you have 20 people searching your town on any given day. If your site is not showing up, or is hard to navigate or even worse just plain ugly, you are losing $500 in Sales that day!! Multiply that by 7 and, you get the picture, right?

Yes, that's approximately $180,000 in lost business because your site looks like crap!! Are you telling me you couldn't use the $180,000? If you can , get out of your business you are not a business person!

Mobile friendly sites are not something that is a luxury anymore, it is a necessity! If you think you are too busy to deal with this, you surely need to hand the business over to someone who cares! Even if you ae losing 50% of that number above, which is conservative, you are still not ringing in $90,000 a year, because you didn't care enough to make your site mobile friendly!

The new mobile sites, have push to call buttons now, so the searcher kust pushes 1 button and they have you on the line, they have features like menu items, specials, discount coupons and email capture pages! These are all going to benefit your business right now and definitely in the future! Just take a look!

 The one on the left is too busy and confusing! The one on the right is easy to navigate, clear and all you have to do is push a button and you are connected to the business! That is what people want these days! If you don't give it to them, somebody else will, and you lose business! It's that simple!

So, if your site hasn't been updated to a mobile friendly site yet, what are you waiting for?? You get it done and you will immediately see an increase in phone calls, traffic through your shops or offices and a marked increase in sales!!

Right now, I am running a special on mobile friendly websites for local businesses. I run a test through Google to make sure your site is not mobile friendly, if it is not mobile friendly I start the process, and you get a mobile friendly, sales generating website! I am running a special on these sites for $600. The sites will be mobile friendly within 5 business days and you will be bringing in more sales than last week for sure!!#mobilefriendlywebsites

You can contact me through the comments here, or at jleary60@hotmail.com, and I will be happy to get your site straightened out!#discountsonmobilewebsites

This is something you absolutely need! I also have custom mobile apps for businesses that is even one step beyond! Those start at $999. I can send you a quick video of what the mobile apps can do if you would like, just ask and I'd be happy to show you. They are part of the future, for sure!#salesonmobilewebsites

Anyway, I hope you take this short little article to heart and act on your website! You are going to benefit from it for a long time to come!! Thanks for reading this article and I hope to be hearing from some of you soon. Take it easy and GO MOBILE!!!

7 Steps To Internet Marketing Success For Business!#smallbusinessmarketingtips

7 Steps to Internet Marketing Success

 Many people are wondering if there is a real way to market their business on the internet for free. In our current day and age, it is highly possible to market your business or product on the internet and to get excellent amounts of traffic using free methods.

 As long as you know what is involved and the specific steps to take in marketing your business, you will begin to see your traffic and sales increase quite a bit in a short amount of time.  It is a fact that people want to be successful in their endeavors. I know that sounds pretty dead stupid, but clarification and details is what makes a successful plan and company go around, believe me.

I am a huge believer in 2 sayings. I am sure if you have read anything on the internet you have had your share of famous quotes, by famous figures throughout history. But here it goes, these 2 are both very powerful and not used enough in my opinion. So here it goes;

“ Repitition Is The Key To Retention!”

“ Measure Twice, Cut Once!”

  If they put time and effort into creating a website or a business, they want it to be successful.

 Promoting your website or product is a great way to help achieve this success. So, the question then becomes how do you market your site properly?  I will tell you this, approximately 98% do not properly build, use or promote their site in the proper way. This causes a jaded opinion to many business owner’s that it just doesn’t work. Well, if it was done correctly, they would be astounded at the power of having a fully interactive, multi-platform responsive website!

It is said recently that somewhere around 90% of all businesses do NOT have a “passable”, mobile website! You know how crazy that is? That is just “passable”, that isn’t even a good mobile website that actually interacts with the user, is pleasing to look at, and gets their point across within the 20 or so seconds it takes to hold someone’s attention until they move on to the next site, that is probably selling the same exact thing, but doing it much more effectively than you and guess what??? BOOM, they get the business!!!

 Well considering that the average person now spends about 2 ½ to 3 hours a day on their mobile phone, well you get my point, don’t you? Anyway, you can always contact me, and I will fix your site, so it looks great on your phone, Ipad, laptop, etc. I can be reached at 781.626.0511, or jleary60@hotmail.com. So, let’s move on.

There are seven steps, that should be followed in order to get the most out of free marketing and advertising . This will ensure the most effective marketing campaign, and often ensures a higher success rate. That’s what this is all about!

 

#1 – BE READY TO BE SEEN! The first thing is to sign your site up. Look for the newest, most famous directories online and list your website with them. This is the easiest and by far most efficient way to get free website promotion. One huge note here: MAKE SURE ALL OF YOUR INFORMATION IS 100% CORRECT!!!

 Start with this idea and you, are guaranteed to have more prosperity later on. However, it is imperative to make sure that your website is prepared before you list it. This means, fully operational, and full of the most relevant information! This will make it much more likely that you will be accepted into the directory that you are submitting to. Once you are in, expect a healthy boost in your traffic numbers!!

#2 -  PICK OUT YOUR FORUMS The reason that forums exist is because they offer free promotion to everyone. Simply sign up, log in, participate and post actively, and let other people know about your website in every post that you submit. This is a sure way to attract visitors to your site. Also, self promotion is great, heck, I do it all the time, but also try to give back and actually add value to the forum. Give back some value, you will get instant karma points and even more traffic, believe me!

#3 –  ISSUE YOUR PRESS RELEASES! The next step is to create press releases that will be helpful to you. Free your writing spirit and write a press release that focuses on promoting your website. This is a totally free promotion tool that can be done as often as you would like. Write a short paragraph and then send it to friends, family, online ezines, and other sources of media. By doing this, you are almost guaranteeing yourself massive amounts of traffic. Get creative and make sure it is energetic! People love press releases, if you use this tool, you will be extremely happy with the amount of new traffic you have visiting your site. 

  

#4 –  BE FRIENDLY Remind yourself that you always need to be friendly on the internet. By utilizing free promotion methods, you need to be sociable and friendly. This is because the friendlier you are with people, the more they can help get your site linked in many places. Make contact with people and welcome link exchanges and requests that you receive.  Make sure to produce relevant, high quality articles. Believe it or not, they are there for the same reason! Use it!

#5 –  BE RELEVANT Make sure that what you are writing and submitting to people has to do with what you are selling or offering. It does not make sense to have a travel website that has articles written about home improvement. Focus on your particular area of expertise. Articles are your advertisements and are a great source of free promotion.   Let the whole world know about your site. When you are having conversations, add your URL into them. People will in turn tell others about your site. This is an effective way to bring in traffic and potential sales.

#6 –   CREATE EYE CATCHING BANNERS! Create banner advertisements that get attention. Create a banner for your site. Then, offer to make banners exactly like it for other webmasters. Do this in exchange for links or credit on their sites. If you get in with the popular sites, you are guaranteed greater exposure. You wopuld be shocked at some of the organic traffic some of these company’s and people get. This really does work. Hey if you aren’t that banner savvy, go over to Fiverr and get a killer banner made for $5! Believe me, it will pay for itself in the first hour!!a

#7 –  TAKE A WEBSITE PROMOTION COURSE!  There are many courses available online that are completely free and can teach you a lot. Most of these programs ask you to join their newsletters. If you create a site, there is no fee for advertising it. You only have to do some research about this type of promotion. Hey, so what that’s what you are there for!

 To wrap this up, follow these steps, you will maximize your internet marketing and advertisement with no cost to you. All it takes is some time and a small amount of effort. Most of these steps are simple to follow. They might seem time consuming at first but, the brain is like any other muscle in your body, the more you use it, the stronger it gets and the easier it is to pump out highly relevant posts and articles about what you do.

The time and relative effort you put forth now, will ensure that you capture a larger audience. Then in turn you have the FREE opportunity to turn those reader’s into paying customers. What is better than that?

Maybe a quart of Ben & Jerry’s “Americone Dream” ice cream on a hot, humid July day, but I’m not even sure about that! I mean Stephen Colbert is humorous and entertaining, and the ice cream named after him is flat out delicious, but nothing is better than a tidal wave of sales because you put in the time and effort into promoting your business correctly through the internet!

Go get them! They are out there, waiting for you to show them what you have! Now it’s your turn to make that sale!

 

Now, if all else fails, or you don’t have the time, that’s where hiring a professional to get you to where you want to go comes in! This is money well spent in my mind. Often times, there just aren’t that many hours in the day for this type of effort, but it is necessary and it does ultimately pay off. I can’t tell you how many business owner’s have cut me off within the first 5 minutes, because they think they have heard it all before, and it is a bunch of bull.

Well, yeah some of it is a bunch of crap. But if it is done correctly, it should and will pay for itself many times over. Another thing if the work isn’t guaranteed that is a red flag.

I know for a fact, because I was on the other side of that desk for 25 plus years, how business owner’s and decision maker’s operate. I also know there are a very large percentage of upper management that are scared silly into making a mistake or creating more work for themselves!

That’s why, in my line of work, you have to get to the “decision maker”, which is usually the owner. Hopefully a few are reading this article and realizing what I am writing makes perfect sense. If you happen to be that decision maker and need assistance, I am here to make your business “rock” on the internet and beyond!

Winning Strategies For Small Business Internet Marketing Success!

 Winning Strategies For Small Business

 Internet Marketing Success!

 Small business internet marketing isn't just advertising anymore.  It used

 to consist of purchasing ads in various places, and then purchasing 

 specific types of ads, when the internet exploded.  Now the difference

 between  advertising and marketing has become very clear. 

 Advertising is something you do that's very passive. Yes, you'll use

 specific language in any advertising space you purchase to try to entice

 people to click and buy, but once you've put the ad in place, it's there

 and it's not going to change. Even pay-per-click advertising falls into

 this more passive category.

 But with many of the techniques of small business internet marketing,

 the things you do are far from passive.  If you search engine optimize

 your website, that might seem passive because once you do it, it's done.  But that's

 not true.  As you add new pages to your website, you do more tweaking

 and changing.  You'll use new keywords and different keywords in

 different areas.

 Sure, if you use banner ads you'll change them from time to time, but

 it's still much more static that almost any other type of marketing you 

 can do. And unless you have a huge advertising budget, those static ads

 like banners and pay-per-clicks probably aren't going to garner you many

 sales. Most of the reason is 99% of them are set up wrong, and that's for

 another whole article!

 Anyway, let's stay on point........#emailmarketingforsmallbusiness 

 It's the dynamic methods of small business internet marketing that are

 going to bring people to your website and keep them coming back. And

 when they keep coming back, they're once again waiting to be educated,

 with the things you offer. Some statistics show,it can take a person 6 or 7

 times seeing an offer before they're inclined to buy, so the more you get

 them to visit your website, seeing your products and services, the more

 likely it is you'll succeed at gaining a paying customer. I would prefer to

 say that if it takes someone 6 or 7 times before they are convinced to

 purchase your offer or product, you probably need to work on your

 overall conversion technique, but again, another post, for another time. 

 Look at all of this great upcoming information you are going to get by 

 following this blog! I'm injecting a little humor here, but there is a lot 

 of truth in humor, and this is a blog for local/small businesses. I absolutely

 know how to get you to succeed, since I ran a small business for over

 24 plus years. So, hopefully you will find this very helpful. It is a dog eat

 dog world out there, and you need every single edge you can get. That's

 why I'm here, to help you get those edges, grow and outperform your

 competition. So let's get on with it, shall we?#localadvertisingtips 

 The most efficient, active method of small business internet marketing 

 that's guaranteed to let you make frequent contact with your target 

 market is an opt-in mailing list.  You can offer some information, a 

 discount, or an ongoing event like a 5-day course that is packed with

 value in the eyes of your prospective customer. You must understand, it

 should be something relevant to your particular business. You must 

 entice your visitor to stay on your site and, create an irresistible offer

 so they want you to have their contact information.

 This is a huge piece of the puzzle. Once they've done that, you have 

 succeeded, at least on the first level, which is you have their permission

 to send out ongoing communications pertaining to your business. This

 now gives the small business a huge opportunity to begin to market to

 new customers, with an almost zero acquisition cost! Sure, you had to

 pay the overhead but as far as budgeting for advertising, it is a win

 win for you. 

 This in my mind, when I am teaching new customers, which are

 generally small businesses, is where you have the chance to level the

 playing field with the "big boys" in your competitive marketplace! You

 have positioned yourself to make the sale and grow your business. You

 are at least in the game! Now its time to show your interested party,

 why they should buy from you, and the benefits of doing business

 with your company. I can't stress enough how important this

 opportunity is.

 In years past, before there was emails and internet marketing, it was 

 simple. The big guys would just outspend you and cut you off at the neck!

 Now you have fighting chance. You had better recognize this, and

 position yourself to out think your competitor's and find an angle that

 unequivocally separates yourselves from your competition. 

 The enormous ground you gain is, you don't need a huge advertising

 budget, and you aren't spending large amounts of capital to acquire

 customers! This is why, one of the first things I ask a prospective client,

 "do you have a growing email list?" If the answer is no, then that is the

 very first thing to get in place. It is the single most valuable asset a

 business has, on this tiny piece of real estate, called

 "The Internet!"#lowbudgetadvertising

 Remember, one of the biggest advantages a small/local business has over

 larger businesses is the ability to act fast! Hopefully you aren't set up

 with some hierarchy and red tape that larger corporations have. I mean,

 I have witnessed it. I have sat in meetings at larger corporations where

 they are in a board room arguing about what font should be used in the

 body of an advertisement??? OK. Yes that might be aesthetically 

 appealing to a small percentage of some target market that someone

 in management has identified, who is jockeying for their big career

 promotion, fine. I say, that's all a bunch of shenanigan's! Land the

 plane! Make the sale, use he font on your next campaign!!

 Come on, really?? 

 You should be careful about your approach now. You really won't want

 to just start sending ads every day. Come up with something that the

 people who found your website were obviously looking for.  If your small

 business, internet marketing plan makes it likely that people will come

 across your website when looking for ways to keep aphids off of

 houseplants, for instance, then offer a 3- 5- or 7- day email "course"

 about how take care of African violets or how to keep houseplants

 healthy in less than ideal conditions. Solve A PROBLEM!

 Not THE problem though.#succeedinginbusiness

 It's a sequence. If you have read anything about Long Form Sales Letters

 or what makes up great ads, which you SHOULD, since if you know this

 type of thing, you are thousands of miles ahead of many Small business

 owner's! Do yourself a favor and read a few things about David Ogilvy

 or even Billy Mays. Really pay attention to Direct Marketing and

 Infomercials! You might snicker at this, but you won't when your email

 sequence starts to not only pick up subscribers, but sales Too!! 

 Anyway........

 Obviously the "aphid" topic above isn't going to drive billions of dollars

 in sales, but that's not my point. The huge takeaway here is this. Give

 them something of real value and you will see your efforts start to

 really pay off. You need to focus on this first and the sales will start

 to coming flying in.#claimingyouradvertisingspot

 Winning strategies for small business internet marketing success 

 is about making sure you are positioning yourself correctly. It is about,

 making sure your identity is clearly defined and that you are solving

 problems or offering services people "feel" they can't or don't want

 to live without!
