The key to marketing your online business is to
apply twenty-first century technology to traditional
marketing methods. Manage your online marketing budget effectively by using
pay per click (PPC) advertising. PPC advertising lets a
business owner create an online banner to be placed
strategically on relevant websites, with each customer click
resulting in a withdrawal of a pre-designated amount from
prepaid account. Major PPC providers like Google can
help you craft a reasonable budget for each banner in
operation (see Resources below).
- Communicate with other online companies to create
partnerships to effectively market your own business. You
need to find complimentary companies that you can partner
with to distinguish both of your businesses from the
millions of other websites. For example, a publication
company can work with a successful online bookstore to
promote a new writer's contest.
- Create clever videos and online advertisements that draw
in the attention of busy Web surfers. You can utilize short
videos or cartoons that highlight your products and build
online credibility with fickle bloggers. Online
advertisements should be kept short and colorful, with a
link to a new product or promotion.
- Participate in online forums where you can market to your
targeted demographics. Many online businesses make the
mistake of simply placing links on a forum and heading onto
the next forum. Introduce yourself, ask if forum members
have any questions and avoid using links that can get you
banned from a site.
- Pass out flyers at local colleges, malls and other public
areas. You should focus on handing out advertising materials
to younger groups that are Internet savvy and looking to
stay ahead of trends.
- Initiate a referral service to help market your website to a
larger group. After a customer visits your website, send him
a form that allows him to refer others by email address to
receive a coupon or free promotional items.
