February 17: Keep your Competition at Bay Using Domain Names

Posted on February 1, 2016 by Complete_Media

The majority of web traffic is through search engines. That includes traffic meant to go to specific websites (as in Googling “Complete Media” as opposed to typing www.completemediainc.com in the browser bar) A domain campaign helps to ensure that users looking for industry related terms are directed to your website first.

Domain campaigns are a fairly low cost addition to any web marketing strategy and can yield surprising results. It’s essential to find the right domain names for your area, though. We can help with that.

Dec. 16: Never Ever Ever Lose Your Domain…Ever!

Posted on December 1, 2015 by Complete_Media

When the domain name goes, everything else goes, too!

Your credit card expires. You change your email address and don’t update your domain contact information. Someone close to you, or a social engineer, transfers your domain name away without your permission. One oversight and you could lose the domain name you worked so hard to get. That means any website or email services associated with it will stop working.

You can protect yourself from this disaster…and it can be a disaster.

Learn what Protected Domain Registration is and how it can save your website. December 16th, Complete Media at noon. $10 for the general public, free for the Complete Media Circle.

November 18: Turn website users into customers

Posted on November 1, 2015 by Complete_Media

Where Your Users Look

The average internet user spends 3 minutes on a website before navigating away. Do you know how long they spend on yours? Do you know where they spend that time? Do you know how they got to your website or where they are located?

You can.

All this information is key to mounting a website campaign. It helps you to understand how users interact with your website and to gauge where they are in the sales process when they do. You can use that information to turn website hits into sales. The tool is called Site Analytics.

Learn how to use this powerful program on November 18th, noon at Complete Media. $10 for the general public, free for the Complete Media Circle.

June 17: Drive traffic to your website with domain names

Posted on June 1, 2015 by Complete_Media

Be Search Friendly

How many domain names do you have? At least one if you have a website, although with all the free “websites” out there, that’s not necessarily true anymore. If you’re serious about being found on the internet, we recommend 10 or more per website.

Having a strong domain name campaign can seriously improve traffic to your website. Multiple effective, keyword strong, domains can make sure you’re discovered for more searches than just putting up one domain and hoping for the best.

Advertise your website as much as possible using domain names. It’s cheap, it’s easy, it’s effective. Learn how to make it happen on June 17th at noon, where else? Complete Media.

Why You Have to Track Your Marketing Results Starting Now!

Posted on January 9, 2015 by Complete_Media

It is easy to get excited with all the amazing marketing tools the internet can offer a business and forget to keep track of what is going on. While it is now possible to reach billions of people with a website that never closes or goes on vacation, it is also very easy to lose a lot of money without getting any tangible benefits. The following are some of the reasons that should move you to start tracking your marketing right now:

1. It helps you know whether you are getting a return on investment or not

While all the PowerPoint presentations by your marketing team might make you feel warm and nice inside, nothing can take the place of cold, hard facts. You will need to see statistics that will tell you whether the strategy being employed by your marketing team is actually paying off and providing a solid return on investment or not. Your business might have the best website and some of the coolest social media accounts. However, if all these activities are not giving you the traffic that you were hoping for, then more hard work is required.

2. Tracking your results helps you know which method is the most successful

You might think that you pay per click advertising campaign is the one bringing in all the extra traffic that you have been registering on your website, only to find out that it is the organic search engine optimization campaign that is actually bringing in the extra pairs of digital eye balls. The good thing with tracking is that it removes any inherent bias that the owners of the business or the people conducting different marketing campaigns might have and only brings in raw data that cannot be disputed.

How to track your marketing results

The good news is that it is not that hard to track the effect of your marketing campaigns. There are many free tools (and paid ones of course) that will help you record the number of visitors that come to your site. Many of these tracking tools can also group the visitors according to the method that brought them to your site, giving you more information on which method is working and which one is not. One of the best free tools that you can use is Google analytics. This means that there is no excuse for not tracking your marketing results immediately!

I Wish I’d Said That

Over the course of my years in media, marketing and advertising, I have come across hundreds of catchy terms, clever phrases and the latest buzz words encapsulating my work world. Most have faded from memory. Some actually had an impact on me and were deemed worth saving. These are some of my favorites:

“The business that considers itself immune to the necessity of advertising sooner or later finds itself immune to business.” ~ Derby Brown

“In advertising, not to be different is virtual suicide.” ~ William Bernbach

“What you say in advertising is more important than how you say it.” ~ David Ogilvy

“In our factory, we make lipstick. In our advertising, we sell hope.” ~ Charles Revson

“Remove advertising, disable a person or firm from proclaiming it’s wares and their merits, and the whole of society and of the economy is transformed.” ~Unknown

“The enemies of advertising are the enemies of freedom.” ~ John Enoch Powell

“Doing business without advertising is like winking at a girl in the dark. You know what you’re doing, but nobody else does.” ~ Steuart H. Britt

“Advertising is the foot on the accelerator, the hand on the throttle, the spur on the flank that keeps our economy surging forward.” ~ Robert W. Sarnoff

“Advertising is the very essence of democracy.” ~ Bruce Barton
