All About Direct Marketing

1.  Search engine submission – This should be your first step when you create a website. Avoid any services that charge you to submit to a number of sites. Most of these sites are too small to bother with and you can find the larger ones on your own. Also submit to niche sites, such as search engines for your area or industry.
2.  Linking – Establish a links page on your site as soon as possible. This will allow you to swap promotion with other relevant and quality sites.
3.  Blogging – This form of updating your site is a wonderful way to stay in touch with clients and potential clients. You can post as often as you like and the more posts you have, the more hits you will get on search engines when people search for the topic of your post.
4.  Newsletter – This is one of the best ways to build a loyal customer base. You can start an informative newsletter that will go out to a targeted audience. Start a sign up box on every page of your website to let people submit their email addresses. They will pass the newsletter to others if it is of good quality.
5.  Viral marketing – Viral marketing is the use of products sold online to spread the word about your site. You can sell ebooks, samples, and mini courses that will include links and references to your website.
6.  Forums and bulletin boards – Post regularly on forums and bulletin boards that target your potential customer base. You are not allowed to promote your site in these posts, but you can use a signature that includes your web address or perhaps some link to a viral marketing product. Check with the forum guidelines before you post.
7.  Article distribution – Write some articles with your customer base in mind. They will consider you an expert and refer to you for future needs. You will get a signature section where you can tout your expertise or promote your product and link to your site. You can find article distribution sites by searching on the web.
8.  Article swapping – You should always allow for rewrites of your articles with the inclusion of your bio at the bottom. This will spread the word and allow for multiple publications. Also reprint the articles of related experts on your blog or in your newsletter to encourage reciprocation.
9.  Cross promoting – You can also start partnerships with other websites that allow you to cross promote your services, newsletters, and other products.
10.  Networking – There are online business networking opportunities available today that allow you to join and reap the benefits of swapping articles and job leads.

To really learn about direct marketing and how you can use it to better your business you should first understand what direct marketing is.

According to Wikipedia, direct marketing is defined as “a sub discipline of marketing focused to driving purchases that can be attributed to a specific call to action”. This marketing discipline can include any medium that allows you to communicate directly with customers. Some examples of direct marketing include, direct mail, email, newspaper, radio, television, and of course the internet.

The main focus of any direct marketing strategy is to increase the number of customers that respond to your marketing campaign or “response rate” while also trying to decrease the cost of advertising. Increasing customer response to your advertising will accomplish two very important things. One, increase the number of sales leads generated by advertising, and two, further establish business name recognition.

The ability to properly communicate with your business’s target audience is an extremely important factor in your overall business success. As you learn about direct marketing; keep in mind that persistence really does pay.

One of the most important aspects of designing a successful direct marketing campaign is in targeting your audience. Developing a marketing campaign that speaks directly to your potential customer’s wants and needs will mean the difference between creating quality sales leads for your business and utter frustration at a lack of customer responsiveness.

Several important questions to answer when developing any direct marketing campaign are:

* Who..? Who are you targeting with your particular business message? Who are the people who would be most interested in hearing what you have to say?

* Why..? Do you just want people to review a few helpful products..or do you want them to retain your services?

* What…? What specific benefits are you offering through your message?

* When…? Are you looking for a more immediate response from your reader…or are you providing food for thought and building your relationship?

* Last but not least…How? How do you intend to present and distribute your message to your potential customers?

Your study of direct marketing will be an on going process. It’s important to understand what works for you and your business, what doesn’t, and why that is. The key to success will be in continuing to try different strategies and techniques in order to perfect a particular combination of things that work well for you.
