What Are You Creating Next To Grow Your Business?

April 15, 2018 0
What Are You Creating Next To Grow Your Business?

Creating new things leads to growth.
Whenever I talk to business owners who want to grow their business, my question is "What are you creating to make that happen?"

Many times, they don't have an answer. Instead, they are just trying to do more of the same things. More meetings, more conversations, more sales, more customers. And if things are working well, then by all means keep doing them.
But in order to improve things in a bigger way, we have to innovate. And innovation means creating and trying new things.
Create New Things To Sell
Creating something new could mean a new product, or program, or package. Having something new to sell can open you up to customers who weren't buying your previous offer, but might be interested in something a little different.
This often happens with my clients who build online courses and training programs. They are able to sell the program to people who hadn't signed up for one-on-one services. It's a different approach, a different price point, and a different opportunity.
Having a new offer opens up conversations with people that had previously been at a dead end. It can create momentum in your business, and lead to growth in areas that didn't exist before!
Create Things To Reach More People
The best way to reach more people is to create things to help you get in front of them. This is where content comes in!

What can you create to provide value and give to people? Can you send them a blog article? Offer them a free PDF download? Invite them to an event? Engage with them through a video or audio series?
Content is a hot-button word in marketing these days because it works!
It's the best way to find and reach the people who are interested in what you do. With my clients, I recommend creating 1-4 Nurturing Content pieces each month, and one Catalyst Content piece every 12-18 weeks.
Creating content is what allows you to get in front of people on a regular basis in a positive way, rather than with the same annoying sales pitch.
Creating Systems
Another thing you can create to grow your business are systems and processes. What is your process for following up with people? What is the sequence of communications? What do you provide to build a relationship and earn their trust?
Maybe you need to create a leveraged program, sales process, or customer service system. What are the pieces of the system? Once you create it, you can use it over and over again.
So it comes down to this...
If you want to be growing, then you also have to be creating. The fastest growing businesses and individuals have time built in to create things in these categories for their business.
How about you? What are you creating next to grow your business?

Using Facebook Messenger Bots to Boost Your Business

February 22, 2018 0
Using Facebook Messenger Bots to Boost Your Business

Facebook Messenger is a free tool for all Facebook users, including businesses, that is accessible through both the website interface and a downloadable Messenger app available for all phone operating systems.
Its purpose is simply for communication, which is very important for any business with a profile.

Many users do some searching before committing to making a purchase and an easy way is to check a Facebook page or profile for further insights.
We've touched on this in other posts regarding providing great customer service and how users will use social media as their customer service channel but for many small businesses the usual answer is simply: that's great to hear but we simply don't have the time or manpower to monitor Facebook Messenger.
This becomes a problem when one of the metrics users can see is your typical response time to messages. In their minds, they are checking to see how responsive customer service is after making a purchase just in case they have any questions or issues, and if they see the average wait time to a response being 3 days, they're not likely to buy.
This is what has necessitated Facebook Messenger Bots but it has expanded greatly since.
The Bots now are something you can create yourself for your business.
Depending on what you do, this can be as simple as providing support or as complicated as completing a full sales or marketing funnel task your website is typically used for.
Companies who allow online orders through their website can configure a custom bot to handle orders directly through messenger, which saves them from simply pointing the user back towards their website.
If your purpose is to share information through the platform you can create a bot that sends updates on your business to users through Messenger.
Companies like TechCrunch created their own bots users can add and once added, you can ask it questions or simply ask for updates.
It's designed to act like a tech-savvy friend you can turn to when you have questions, which makes an excellent offering for a business that is known for reporting tech news.
The idea is to take your user's journey beyond the task of searching and finding.
Bots are not limited to Facebook, but it is the biggest platform for them. Having a Messenger-driven Live Chat option on your website can make a big difference in your conversions and bounce rate.

Your users are more likely to stay when they see some level of interaction and engagement. When it goes well beyond simple canned responses and actually provides a service, you then have something real that can be used to give your business a big boost.
Why direct them back to your website when the purpose of the website can be completed right in the service channel?
To get these Bots set up right you'll need to do a few things:
1. Understand your customer's reasons for interacting with your business
2. Map that user's journeys from interest to completion and then create those steps in the bot
3. Create a voice for each purpose and draft a script that conveys genuinely helpful feedback to the user when prompted.
If they're looking for support, then make sure your support messages are drafted in a way that isn't rigid or off putting.
If they're looking to purchase from you or book something with you then you should have an upbeat tone to the messages generated by the queries that leads the user to completing the transaction right in Messenger.
4. Test them out yourself and rewrite as necessary. You may find you've missed something if you take the user's position and message your own business.
Try to complete a sale or request help in the form of service and see if you feel satisfied by what the Messenger Bot feeds back to you. If not then it's time to revamp the bot!
It sounds that easy but it's actually an evolving and strategic process so don't treat this as a "set it and forget it" initiative. It's important to monitor the stats and make adjustments to account for any areas that are not creating a perfect user experience.
If you have users following your business on Facebook just so they can get a hold of you (your bot) then you're doing something right. You may even see website stats decrease but if those users are simply bypassing the step of using the site and you have better conversions through messenger then you've got it!

It is strongly advisable to seek professional help when creating these. Even with third party systems taking care of the code-related steps you will waste more time trying to become a Messenger Bot Expert than you think. And because of the time demand, a professional may likely wind up involved anyway.

The Future of Digital Marketing: Five Trends to Leverage a Small Business Opportunity

January 19, 2018 0
The Future of Digital Marketing: Five Trends to Leverage a Small Business Opportunity

Jameson General Store was a historical treasure in the small North Carolina Community. Jim Jameson, the owner, had been part of the family legacy over 100 years old. The company had seen bad times, including The Great Depression. However, their hard work and customer loyalty had sustained the company's success. 

Even when a neighboring community got its Walmart's Marketplace Store, their customers remained loyal. Jim did not believe in utilizing online advertising and social media platforms. He believed that these activities were only a fad. Yet, their customers gradually started shopping online because Jameson General Store was limited in its product offerings. 
In fact, most of the business that Jameson Store lost was not to local competitors, but online sellers. Jim was adamant about resisting the temptation about shopping online. Yet, when he saw his own 10-year-old grandson purchase a difficult item to locate in the area online at significant costs, Jim had to ponder his current marketing strategy with the changing landscape in the nation.
Today's customers can purchase a variety of items online with minimum effort. Given this scenario, brick and mortar companies are fighting to stay alive with the fierce internet competition. According to a 2017 survey conducted by Square and Mercury Analytics looking at 1,164 U.S. business owners, the following observations were made:
  • 96% of Americans with internet access have made an online purchase in their life, 80% in the past month alone.
  • 51% of Americans prefer to shop online.
  • 67% of Millennials and 56% of Gen Xers prefer to shop online rather than in-store.
  • Millennials and Gen Xers spend nearly 50% as much time shopping online each week (six hours) than their older counterparts (four hours).
  • 51% of seniors have shopped on marketplaces, 66% at large retailer sites, 30% on web stores or independent boutiques, and 44% at category-specific online stores.
Marketing professionals understand the importance of the internet and how to effectively leverage this power. According to Socialmedia.com, 90% of marketers use social media for their businesses. Sadly, many small businesses do not recognize this fact. Many businesses had opted to bury their heads in the sand in hopes that this 'internet thing' will go away. It hadn't!


In fact, e-Commerce is growing more than 23% annually; however, 46% of American small businesses do not have a website according to Square and Mercury Analytics research. This article focuses on how small businesses can leverage digital marketing to achieve greater success and enhance their market opportunities.
Digital marketing should be a tool that every serious small business should utilize. Digital marketing goes by many names such as e-commerce marketing, online marketing, and internet marketing. Digital marketing can be defined as "the marketing of products or services using digital channels to reach consumers." The key objective is to promote brands the usage of the internet.
Digital marketing extends beyond internet marketing to include channels that do not require the use of the internet. Some digital marketing channels include websites, social media platforms, email marketing, search engine optimization (SEO), blogging, podcasts, and online advertising to name a few. Beyond technology gimmicks, businesses should know their customers and their core competencies. Digital marketing is not a silver bullet. Digital marketing is a tool for the savvy business professional.
Catherine Juan, Donnie Greiling, and Catherine Buerkle, authors of Internet Marketing: Start to Finish, suggest that effective digital marketing requires plenty of careful planning. They add, "The heart of getting real traction out of your internet marketing program is to tie marketing and sales data together, with metrics. Track what you're doing, track the impact, and track the resulting sales." Looking at the landscape of technology and internet innovation, small businesses should think strategically about the following five digital marketing trends:
• Artificial Intelligence - Some people develop elaborate doom-day scenarios of machines to control the world. However, artificial intelligence (AI) is becoming a way of life in marketing. AI can be defined as 'the theory and development of computer systems able to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence.' Voice Activation technology like Amazon's Echo is bringing AI into public attention. By 2020, customers will manage 85% of their purchases without interacting with a person.
• Internet Searching - Buyers are more knowledgeable than ever with access to the internet. In fact, 81% of shoppers conduct online research before making big purchases. Thus, exploring how to utilize search engine optimization and getting your business at the top of searches is an invaluable step.
• Mobile Communications - Most Americans have grown accustomed to instant gratification and easy access to technology. Mobile and tablet e-commerce will reach $293B by 2018. Smartphone and tablets are part of this wave of innovation. Mobile will account for 72% of the U.S. digital ad spend by 2019. Marketers recognize that mobile marketing is an untapped business tool.
• Social Media - Social media platforms, like Facebook, allows buyers to connect with each other virtually. 65% of business-to-business companies have acquired customers through LinkedIn ads. Marketers realize this value.
• Web Content - Good content will attract customers. In fact, customers are more likely to purchase from sellers with good, relevant videos/photos on their website. 52% of marketing professionals globally name the video as the type of content with the best ROI.

Faced with the tenants of competition, small businesses need to utilize digital marketing. Some small businesses may be hesitant to explore digital marketing due to their lack of trust and understanding of the internet. Philip Kotler and Kevin Keller, authors of Marketing Management, note "Top firms are comfortable using technology to improve the way they do business with their business-to-business customers."
This article demonstrated that today's small businesses can utilize digital marketing to enhance their market opportunities. Hopefully, gaining this knowledge will help business owners so that they will not continue to bury their heads in the sand. The internet is here to stay. Pray that you are listening to this message.

Tips for Designing an Effective Email Marketing Campaign

November 15, 2017 0
Tips for Designing an Effective Email Marketing Campaign

Last week we chatted about Infusionsoft and what it can do for your business. We're going to take a slight step back now and just talk about email marketing campaigns. So, let's dive right in.

Email marketing is a direct mail campaign, but instead of a physical mailing (i.e. post cards), the recipient receives an email. Pretty simple! With many of the popular email marketing platforms available, these campaigns can also be targeted based on a variety of factors (geographical location, marital status, buying habits, just to name a few).
Here are our top 10 tips for designing an effective email marketing campaign:
  1. Design - think about how your email will be received, what will the recipient see when they first open the email (the viewing pane). If most of the view is just a graphic with no content, that may not appeal to your prospects, likewise if it seems too salesy. Keep your graphics and fonts clean and easy to read.
  2. Frequency - Our client base is diverse enough that sometimes we're working on campaigns that target procrastinators (needs a lot of emails) or busy professions (less frequent, more precisely timed). Keep the frequency of your mailings in mind so its enough to stay top of mind, but not too much that it seems like "junk".
  3. Timing - How well do you know your market? If you cater to busy parents, helping them plan meal times with ease, then sending them marketing campaigns at 6pm may not be the best time. Maybe Sunday afternoon when they're planning meals for the week, or earlier in the day when little ones may be napping or at school. Track your open rate based on the time of day a message is sent, or better yet, look to see who clicked through to a download, and when they did. Now go from there.
  4. Mobile friendly - Many of us read our email on our mobile devices, meaning the viewing pane may be smaller, but also loading a lot of graphics can be slow. Keep your mobile users in mind when choosing your email design.
  5. Keep your message concise and consistent - think about how much time you spend reading a promotional email - do you scan it quickly or read in detail. Chances are your prospects are as busy as you, and may just be scanning. Stay on point.
  6. The same applies for your subject line - Make it enticing, imply a sense of urgency, and be clear about what you're providing.
  7. Think it through before you start - what are you looking to achieve with this campaign? Are you promoting a new product or service? How can you lay out the messages so they make sense and guide your prospects through your sales funnel? Do they know what you need them to do? Have a clear call to action.
  8. There's nothing wrong with a little A/B testing! Design two small campaigns and track the metrics on one versus the other to see what's resonating with your market. This should only be done on a test sample, not the whole campaign.
  9. Segment your list - Do you have clients that only attend seminars, and never download a whitepaper? Then don't fill their inbox with a campaign for a new eBook, send them one note to let them know its available, and then drop them off the campaign and keep your marketing efforts to them focused on live calls or seminars.
  10. Lastly, include a way for your customers or prospect to share your email with a friend - ideally using social media. You never know where your next prospect could come from!

Email marketing has largely replaced printed direct mail campaigns, and has allowed small business a greater and more cost-effective reach. 



With proper planning, digging a little bit into some metrics, and some excellent copy, you'll be off to staying at the top of the mind of your prospects.

What's been your greatest email marketing mistake? Or success!? We'd love to hear from you!

Master List Building: How You Can Create a Bigger Email List Right With Minimum Effort

October 23, 2017 0
Master List Building: How You Can Create a Bigger Email List Right With Minimum Effort

Build a Profitable Email List
You finally realize that you need a good opt-in list. After reading countless articles and sought expert advice and have read many success stories of people creating a small fortune with opt-in lists you finally decide to have one of your own.
In fact, you may be losing money. Maybe you're hiring writers to help you out, or there are some expenses incurred, even if you have a big list, but only a very small percentage actually buys from you, you're still losing profit. You'll realize that after a few months when you see your statistics and sales figures.


So what could have gone wrong? Why have others succeeded where you have failed? The most common mistake is that you dived straight right in. You chose a topic where you think could be quite popular and would earn you money. This just not the case. Just because you wrote people from the list doesn't mean they are going to buy instantly.
Here I will offer more advice, for those who have started an opt-in list and have failed, you can rejuvenate your failed venture. For those who are starting, here are three quick and easy ways to build a profitable opt-in list.

1) Get your customers to trust you and your products first. Just launching your opt-in list would not make you an expert and a believable seller. Put many articles first before you start an opt-in list. Write about the topic you know and have started and used for your site. Try to put forums first to gain knowledge about your customers about their wants and needs and target those wants and needs.


Join forums from other sites as well. Provide expert advice and recommendations. When you feel that people trust you already, you will be able to start your own opt-in list. You can build a base as well with other forum users. You can ask them to join your list. Friends are always good customers. Put up a link to your site so that they may be able to see what your business is all about.
The certain truth is, the money will only come in when the consumers and subscribers believe and trust in you. They want a product or service that could be a good exchange for their money. People are not going to buy something out of your recommendation if they don't know you.

2) Find a product or service that people want and need. Although it may not be your forte, if you provide a service and product that you have researched and learned about well, you can carry it on forward. Invest your time, effort and money that you could sell as well as the buyers or subscribers of your opt-in list can use.


While it is true that it is best to sell something that you have an interest in, there are not many people who have the same interest as you if you decide to sell something that is not entirely popular or profitable. Do your research well and you would see the profits come in. Also, provide your subscribers with promotional material that they could actually use and spread around.
3) Make friends with other opt-in list users. This is basically beneficial especially if it is someone who has already launched a successful opt-in list. These are people who have the experience in this venture and experience is still the best teacher. While there are many articles available for you on the internet to use, there is nothing like getting a firsthand account from someone you trust.

Experienced opt-in list users will be able to tell you what to do and what not to do because they have gone through it. While different situations occur for different people, the general concept can still be very helpful. There are many things to avoid and these people will be able to tell you which ones.
Building a profitable opt-in list don't just happen overnight. There are many preparations and effort to do. Opt-in lists are built from scratch, as your list grows, you should also maintain the quality of your list. Keep it organized and manageable. Get or hire help if need be, just make sure that your subscribers are happy and satisfied and they will be willing to buy from you.

Important List Building Techniques
Online marketing may have developed a sudden surge these past few years, but many in the know how have felt its rise even from way then. As more internet based businesses are put up, the need to develop new marketing skills and knowledge based on this new medium have arisen. More and more marketing strategies are being discovered and developed to cope with the changing face of business the business world.
The demand for online marketing tips and strategies have drastically grown and a new form of business has been born, internet marketing strategies. While there are companies that are all too eager to help your site and business build a clientele for a fee, there also many ways that can spread the word about your site's subsistence in a more cost freeway. One of these is Opt-in email marketing, also known as permission marketing.


Opt-in marketing requires the permission of a willing customer to subscribe to your marketing materials, materials that take form in newsletters, catalogs, and promotional mailings via e-mail. The more opt-in marketing mail is sent, the more chances there is to bag sales and more sales.
To do this, you must build a list of all those who wants to subscribe to your opt-in marketing list. From your list, you will get your targeted customer, this is a good list since they already have shown interest in what you have to show and sell since they have willingly signed in for your list.
These are the people who have liked what they have seen on your site and have decided they want to see more and maybe even purchase whatever product or service your company and site has to offer.
Many people would think that building their lists would take hard work and a lot of time to build and collect names and addresses. This is not so, it takes a bit of patience and some strategies but in doing this list, you open your site and your business to a whole new world of target market.


There are many sources and articles on the internet available for everyone to read and follow in building a list. Sometimes they may be confusing because there are so many and there different ways. Different groups of people would have different approaches in building an opt-in list, but no matter how diverse many methods are, there are always some crucial things to do to build your list. Here are four of them.
1) Put up a good web form in your site that immediately follows the end of your content. While some may say this is too soon to subscribe for a website visitors application, try to remember that your homepage should provide a quick good impression.
2) As mentioned in the first tip, make your homepage very, very impressive. You need to have well-written articles and descriptions of your site. Depending on what your site is all about, you need to capture your website visitor's fancy.
Don't waste your time making the homepage too overly large megabyte wise. Not all people have dedicated T1 connections, the faster your site gets loaded, the better. Go for a look that borders between simplicity and sophisticated knowledge.
3) Provide good service and products. A return customer is more likely to bring in more business. Even then and now, a satisfied customer will recommend a business always. Word of mouth and recommendations alone can rake in more business than an expensive ad.

4) Keep a clean and private list. Never lose the trust your customers have entrusted you. If you provide e-mails to others and they get spammed, many will probably unsubscribe to you. Remember, a good reputation will drive in more traffic and subscribers as well as strengthen the loyalty of your customers.

It can also be an advertisement which struts stuff of a certain company. This particular type of ad design can also be mentioned as that which gives a fair idea about a particular company. 

It can appear as a type of ad which is mostly rectangular in shape and is placed in a corner either at the sides, top or bottom. In the days gone by it has to be mentioned that these only encompassed within them a mix of graphics and images. 
There have been great changes in the last two decade. With the advent of Flash, the whole gamut of the concept of banners have evolved drastically with the result that these particularly include a complex combination of texts graphics and animation. 
It is common these days to have these types of special ads by most commerce-related companies on the website of different companies. It is a good idea to hire an expert designer so that your designs stand out from the rest of your competitors. Though an expert design service would, in turn, cost a bomb but the results that you would get out of it is indeed quite impressive. 

These designs should be such that they are captivated with the motif and which will turn into a positive lucrative business. A creative web banner design by an astute designer will do the following benefits to your company:
