ONLINE

THREE STEPS TO SUCCESS

IS YOUR BUSINESS EASY TO FIND ONLINE?

• Do you have a presence in all or any of the places where your target customers hang out online?• Do you have an easy, automated way to follow up with them over time?

Reality:

•Marketing online is not a one-way broadcast anymore; it’s a multi-point conversation.•Instead of talking at your prospects, you are talking with them.

WHO’S SEARCHING?

•97% of consumers use online search when researching products or services

WHO DO THEY TRUST?

•78% of consumers trust peer recommendations while only 14% trust ads.• With the birth of review sites and Social Media,

people are more than willing to share their opinions of your product or service – good and bad.

WHERE DO THEY GO?

• People are more likely to visit blogs that align with their interests because blogs are non-selling environments

The new “word of mouth” is social media

WHAT ARE THEY SAYING?

• Those members seek and make recommendations for products, services & experiences.

• This is so powerful that Google now displays Social Media posts in their search results.

REALITY

• The fastest growing demographic among

Facebook users is 35 to 65 year-old women.

VIDEO MARKETING

•YouTube is now the second largest search engine

• People go there to look for videos to answer their questions, show them how to do something, or gather information

Because watching a step-by-step video is a lot easier than trying to understand an Ikea Manual.

•91% of Americans have mobile phones

GOODBYE YELLOW

• Why spend money on Yellow Pages, Newspaper inserts & other outdated media?•24 of the 25 largest newspapers are in record

decline in circulation• But they are the #1 industry that uploaded video

in 2010

YELLOW PAGES ARE STILL VERY EXPENSIVE & FEW PEOPLE UNDER 70 USE THEM FOR

THEIR INTENDED PURPOSE

MARKETING ONLINE ISN’T AN OPTION ANYMORE — IT’S A REQUIREMENT

• It’s where your customers are searching to find products or services or get their problems solved now!•The Internet is open 24/7/365

HERE’S MY WWW.

connecting with them there

GOOD NEWS• Only 26% of small businesses have invested

any time or effort in marketing online.• There is still time to get established before it’s too

late. • The longer you wait to get started, the more

catch-up you’ll have to do.

GET OUT THERE!

• Google is very important, but there are dozens of other key places you need to get found to create a strong internet presence.

very archaic way of thinking.

GIVE THEM WHAT THEY WANT

who is.

Facebook or subscribe to your YouTube channel.
