Award Winning Results... or What's the Point?

Marketing and advertising is supposed to be about increasing sales and providing a return on investment. Lately, I have come across many business owners who worked with other agencies and are unhappy because they did not see positive results. They mentioned the materials that were produced look nice, but they didn't work. This is really frustrating to me at it makes our industry look bad.

Agencies, designers and marketers need to be held accountable for providing results to their clients…tangible results.

The worst situation recently, was an Addy Award Winning Campaign that lost the client $30,000. This makes no sense. The truly award-winning campaigns should provide the clients with award-winning results, or what’s the point?

April 25: Know what your visitors do on your website with Site Analytics

Turn Your Hits into Cash

It’s like having the ultimate secret shopper program. They don’t even know they’re helping you out! With Site Analytics, you can determine what exactly the users who access your website are doing – what pages are they visiting, how long are they staying, what part of the world are they from, and how they are getting to your website in the first place!

All this information is key when developing your ongoing strategies for your web marketing campaign. It provides a fuller picture of just who exactly your users are and where they are in the sales pipeline. It helps to determine how to transition them from just a click on the web to a sale on your sheet.

Learn how Site Analytics can help accomplish these goals on April 25th at noon, only at Complete Media. $10 for the general public, free for the Complete Media Circle.

Y’all Come Back Now Ya Hear!

While visiting with a client recently, he mentioned he’d like to do something to stay in touch with people who have done business with him. I asked what he’d done in the past. He replied, “Nothing really, guess I’m just too busy or (chuckling) too lazy.”

As most business owners know, it’s generally easier and more cost effective to up-sell recent/current clients than it is to find new ones. It can be something as simple as a quick follow up phone call to say thanks again, or a “We really appreciate your business” thank you card. Thousands of companies have well mapped out, year-round campaigns focused entirely on customer retention. Most retention plans can be put in place with little effort and, generally speaking, little dollars.

While all businesses differ in size, culture, product, service, etc., they can all benefit by implementing and executing a solid customer retention strategy. Like any relationship, if you stop inviting folks in, they’ll stop dropping by.
