Todays marketers refer to the Internet as On-Line Marketing, and NO Marketing Program is complete without an Internet presence. Having said that, let’s address some of the reasons why you need to be there.

Websites are an effective way of doubling, possibly tripling the number of leads you get each month. How? Well, the Internet attracts a different audience than some of the more traditional marketing methods do, although the educated always explore both avenues. Therefore, when you are on the Internet and have your own website you are appealing to a different group of people. It provides an advantage because it is easy and non-threatening for them.

To stop those surfers dead in their tracks your website needs to be credible, including the design of the site itself, the content, third party validation and more. It is important to work with a company that not only understands how web sites work but how they look and can provide proven and successful Direct Marketing response techniques to entice and capture individuals that know what they want, as well as the surfers.

An Internet presence also provides your Marketing Program with yet another option of staying in touch and relationship building. It gives you an excuse to send along a friendly e-mail, fax or voice broadcast letting existing clients and prospects know that there is something new at your site that they may be interested in.

The real importance of the Internet to Marketing Programs could fill volumes. But if you are interested in finding out in a crisp and informative way just what a Website that is delivered through a knowledgeable marketing partner can do for you, then I recommend you visit Automated Marketing Solutions. Find a complete article explaining why you need an Internet presence, how it works, how to integrate it with your current marketing technology. Discover the mistakes you need to avoid and much more. You will quickly see that the Internet is nothing to be intimidated by but instead a Marketing Tool that will enhance your overall Marketing Program.

Automated Lead Generation, Multi-Step Marketing, and Your Business

When we discuss marketing we are in fact talking about relationships. We know that the favorable relationships are based on regular contact using a variety of different methods. We call our friends; send cards and flowers to our wives, and employ many other ways of demonstrating our love and affection to the people who we care about. When setting out to develop a successful Marketing Campaign we need to follow this same line of thought.

Selling today is a multi-step process. It has been demonstrated that up to 95% of the people you may touch with your advertising are not yet be in a purchasing mode, making it essential to maintain contact with anyone who responds to your marketing efforts. Build a relationship and condition them to the fact that you can be trusted and are knowledgeable about your product or service. This way when they are prepared to purchase, your company will be the one that they associate a solution to their need with.

As much as our marketing challenges sounds simple when we condense it into a couple of brief paragraphs, the reality is quite different. The following scenario is an example of this. Imagine you attract 20 new prospects every month through your marketing and you touch base with each prospect 3 times every month. Contacting a prospect 3 times in a month is not excessive by the way. Over the period of 6 months, following this same pattern, you would have to facilitate 1,260 contacts. If you are doing it properly you are also doing this through various forms of media. Imagine the time constraints managing this type of activity would create. The reality is that you cant afford not to do this when statistics demonstrate that you will close 75% more prospects when you DO stay in touch with them over the course of a year.

I recently came across a company that has spent the last 12 years developing a systematic and fully media featured marketing program that has automated a multi-step marketing capability. This company is Automated Marketing Solutions or “AMS”. AMS provides a full suite of marketing technology tools and processes that allow any company to deliver a comprehensive marketing program using not only tested, but proven methods. The most exciting aspect of their development is that the entire process can be automated. They refer to it as putting your marketing on Auto-Pilot. Once a business marketing program (including voice messages, e-mails, faxes and other broadcast and mail out collateral) is compiled and sequenced, their Lead Management System or LMS provides the convenient ability to manage and control that program without any further human interaction. It captures leads that respond to marketing and places them into the appropriate program for follow up by the LMS itself. Very little, if any, human input is required. The benefits to this system are significant time savings on what would otherwise be labor intensive tasks. It also provides consistency in marketing messages.

Additional benefits of using their LMS include the retention capabilities of the system. After all, once you have sourced and converted a prospect, your next most important task is to hold onto them. Using AMS LMS means that businesses never need worry about losing customers who misinterpreted their lack of contact for apathy. Because of AMS years of experience in building multi-media marketing programs they are able to assist and teach users regarding the best methods to use as they build their own campaigns.
