What is there to know about article marketing for local businesses, and how do you use it to your advantage?

A successful method of advertising is article marketing. Article market research can show you just how important it is to local businesses. The use of articles written on relevant topics to the businessas industry is known as article marketing. The article is then distributed and submitted to various places for publishing.

When the articles are published, they can reach far and wide. Some will end up in magazines and other printed materials, but most will be spread all over the internet. Individuals looking for information on that particular subject will be able to find them. Typically, the end of the article has information on the company who wrote it, along with a web site address, and the contact information so readers can find the company. Itas an excellent way to find new potential clients.

If the article is of good quality, it will attract many new customers, and potential customers will look at the company positively.

The internet can be used to your advantage, by publishing marketed articles in places that are specific to your area. For example, news web sites or forums that are focused only on your city and surrounding areas.

Writing an article about something you know a lot about doesnat take much time or effort, and getting it publish doesnat cost much money, if any at all. Many times, you can find web sites that will publish your article for free or for a very small fee.

Now that you have an understanding of the basics of article marketing, you can use this knowledge in the specifics of your local business. The more you spread your local businessas name, the more potential customers will hear of you. Increasing your brand name and customer base will give an increase in your profits.

Business Web Directory Necessary for your Online Business

by John

A web directory is just what it sounds like: a directory that is found on the Internet that directs you to various web sites. A web directory provides the perfect place for a webmaster to advertise their website. Users that visit a web directory do so, in order to find websites on a particular category or topic. Unlike a search engine, this displays results based on key words and phrases, a web directory group?s information into categories by topic.

Directories organize info that can be accessed in a process known as you go from the most general to increasingly specific subcategories. A business directory provides the ideal directory to submit your site to if you?re trying to attract customers. Users can usually search these directories by category and location making it very making it very easy for your customers to find you.

A web directory directs you to links to web sites that may contain the information you seek. Insiders refer to directories as either general. A business directory usually allows webmasters store more relevant business information than a standard web directory. Each listing usually includes the Company Name, Address, Phone, Fax Website, Company Overview, Directions and Email Contact. Web directories attempt to collect as much information as possible within specific research areas, for example, a web directory of career advice, or a web directory of safe toys for children.

Some directories accept paid submissions. Information is there because people pay to be listed. Sometimes listings are free but the positions are paid for. A web directory allows webmasters to get an inbound link to their site that will potentially add to the overall Pagerank of their homepage. The more directories a site is submitted to, the more inbound links it receives and therefore the higher the Pagerank. Understanding the structure of how a web directory collects and presents its information lets you know how much you can trust the information it contains.

Directories can be a part of many an online business search engine optimization strategy. It often occurs that when you subscribe to the free web directories you might not hear back about your submission for weeks. You may be better off paying for their links in good quality web directories that are managed well. The more diverse the links pointing to a specific web site are, the greater the chance for better traffic, and the higher the possibility of ranking in search engine algorithms. Paying to be listed in more than one directory, or to be found quickly through premium positions in a directory, can result in improved traffic to the listed web site.

Search Engines Paid Search Vs. Natural Search

by Terry Stanfield

Search Engines

Search engines like Google, Yahoo and MSN are really just data bases. When you do a Google Search you are not searching the “world wide web” you are searching Google’s data base. There are two ways to get in to these databases. One is to submit your site to the different search engines. In about 6 to 9 weeks the search engine will index your site. They have software that comes to your site and index every page and adds it to the database. They come into your main web URL and follow the links to all the pages of your site. They capture key elements from the code on your page to the content. These are then stored in the data base. When someone puts a keyword in the search box the “algorithms” determine the best page or links to the best pages for your search.

The other way to get added to the search engines data base is to have the search engine software find you through a link to your site from another web site back to yours. The software, called “spiders” will periodically comeback and re crawl your site to see if you have updated it.

One important thing to know is that each page on your site is indexed individually and each page stands on its own. The ranking are based upon the combination of correct meta tags, relevant content to the keyword they are trying to get rankings for and link popularity. Mostly one way links back to their site from relevant sites.

As long as the search engine can index the site, clearly read the meta tags and content, the better. The big issues come when a site is built in flash with very little content (search engines cannot read or index “flash” sites. Also, if the bulk of the relevant content is in PDF format this is bad because the search engines cannot read PDF. If the search engines cannot index the relevant text there will be no rankings.

You all ready know this but “sites” are not ranked, individual pages are ranked for specific terms found in the content of that page as well as link popularity, (relevant links pointing back to that specific page) for the term that you are trying to get ranked on. This is why each page has to be giving very specific attention. Paid search

Paid search is when your ad shows up at the very top of a Google search or down the right hand side of the results page. These are called “sponsored ads”. You pay for those positions. When every you click on one of those ads the owner of the ad pays the search engine. This is also called “pay-per-click”. The amount you pay is determined by several factors including what you are willing to pay every time someone clicks on your ad.

Natural Search

Natural Search is when you type in a “keyword” and a link and a description shows up on left hand side of the search result page. The only way to get on the first page is to have very relevant content on your web site and links to your site from other relevant sites. This is a long process for people in it for the long haul. There are a lot of companies that claim to be able to get you on the first page of Google. That may be true if the “search term” is very specific and no one else would ever search for it but you or they are using a “black hat” method that could get you site banned from the search engine. Bottom line: Paid Search means you pay for your position. The benefit is, if you have the $$, you will get instant traffic. Stop paying and the traffic goes away. Natural search is free traffic but it is built over time. The advantage is, if done right, it can provide traffic for a long time.

Search traffic (paid or natural) is the BEST traffic to have because you are being found by folks who are specifically looking for what you have. It does not get any better than that.

Postcard Marketing Campaign Improvement Tips

by GV Custserv

Here are five tips to improve you postcard marketing response rate which were developed from Galleria Ventures several years of experience with postcard marketing.

1. Comprehending your mailing list. Having a good idea of the quality level of the list of customers or potential customers you are sending your items to is an important factor to being successful with a direct mail campaign. You should know if your list is made up of customer’s that you have done business with or is it mainly new potential customers you do not know? For new potential customers, you should know the demographics of the list to be able to give some focus to your advertisement? For example you will have more success with a postcard ad that is targeted for women if you know the list you are sending to is also focused on women. Therefore, you need to match your message to the right group of people (and if possible, the right group of people at just the right time).

2. Make your headline “scanable”. A postcard advertisement only has a brief moment to capture the reader’s attention. That brief moment, which has been referred to as the “golden glimpse” — is the moment when your postcard comes out of the mailbox and either lands on the desk or in the trash. An attention grabbing headline which communicates a primary benefit for your targeted recipients is the key to getting the potential reader to read on. If you are successful with the headline then some “skimmable” bullets after the headline giving more benefits should build enthusiastic interest. To make this happen sit down and list the features of your products or services. Then list the benefits each of these features bring to the customer. Prioritize which benefit has the most importance to your focused list of recipients. Use the benefit you selected to be most important to make the headline and the other benefits to make the supporting bullets. If a photo or artwork can help make the impact greater of your primary benefit, make sure you use it.

3. Give it the Simpleton Test. You should figure out that your potential clients will never know your product or package to the extent that you do. They are not around it everyday and hence cannot understand it as well as you. Consequently, the best way to proceed is to be distinctly simple in the message you communicate. This is not a simple task, as there is a probability that you will have knowledge you take for granted and use but your targeted clients will not have the knowledge to easily understand your message. If you do not achieve first time understanding of your message, you probably will not be provided with another opportunity. Therefore, your message should be very simple to understand in a plain clear language. Additionally, use images when it will strengthen the understanding.

4. A compelling offer and a call to action will complete you message. The offer and call to action is the conclusion of the marketing postcard’s statement. Having the potential customer take action is the culmination for why you have invested in sending out the postcard advertisement. This is where the reader finds out whatever he or she should do to discover more or why they should take action. Your offer should be trustful and pertinent as it captures the reader with a deal they will not want to turn down. Right after the proposition is presented then your call to action must be clearly given before the offer disappears from their mind!

5. Constantly Measure and Track your direct mail results. The number one rule for success in direct mail marketing, is to TEST. Test the offer. Test the message. Test the mail piece size. Test the postage stamp. Test everything you can think of which might persuade the reader. To find the elusive “formula” of success you will need to keep testing your direct mail marketing results. We recommend a split test of each new marketing postcard. By splitting the quantities of each campaign mailing with one thing that is different in each. Then measure the results of each and pick the one that gives the best results for another split test in another mailing. This process will allow your marketing message to evolve to the best performance.

Embroidered Polos: Branding Your Customer Two Levels Deep

by Epolos Articles

Many customers associate a company with a brand or logo. Embroidered polos help your customer to make this association, branding them two levels deep. What does this mean?

How Embroidered Polos Can Make a Customer for Life

Company Name: Usually, the first association a customer makes with a company is via its name and/or the name of the company representative they interact with. This is the foundational building block that can lead to a life-long association.

In the beginning stages, the corporate apparel of many companies may not even have a logo; just the company name and the name of the customer service representative. And this is fine. But, when companies expand, one of the first things they should do is create a company logo. In fact, this is a hallmark of large companies.

Creating a Brand to Create a Bond: One of the first signs that a company is leaving or has left the startup stage behind is that they start to think of themselves on a broader scale. This is the stage at which they may invest in getting a logo designed.

This logo will be emblazoned on corporate apparel in the form of custom company shirts, embroidered polos and company clothing in general. Corporate apparel stretches beyond clothing to water bottles, pens, mouse pads, etc.

When a company can look up and see its employees wearing its corporate apparel emblazoned with its newly created Embroidered Polos, it can feel that it has indeed arrived.

How To Use Promotional Candies for Business Advertising

by Kay Petronelli

If you ask anyone that works in an office all day or somebody else that drives a truck, undoubtedly they would say that they like candy. So, why not use candies as a way to promote your company.

Candies are a good item to use when promoting your business because it not only offers people something they like but your company will be advertised as well.

The candies that you choose to use as promotional items will only be effective if they have your company logo or insignia on the wrapper or on the actual candy. When people go to reach for one of your candies they will see your company. Hence, this type of advertising is very effective.

One of the most popular kinds of promotional candies is mint. These are great for advertising a business because you put your name right on the wrapper. Most mints are individually wrapped so each time someone pops a mint they have to look at your name.

If you would prefer something of a bulk nature then you would be interested in getting small mint tins. This kind of advertising is more successful being at a reception area when visitors come to an office. Therefore, when someone reaches for the mint tin to get a candy they will see who is advertising with free candies before they even get to enjoy the treat.

Two immediate advantages of using mint candies are that they are a very effective promotional item and affordable as well. One individually wrapped candy is only 10 cents per piece. But, you can also consider using jellybeans or cinnamon candies for promoting your business. Some other ideas are to make it a seasonal theme like little candy hearts on Valentine’s Day or witches and pumpkin candies at Halloween.

Do you know of anybody that would ever turn down a chocolate when they are being offered? Chocolates can be individually wrapped with your logo or company name on the wrapper or your insignia can be put right on the chocolate. This option can be considered pricey but it will most definitely get people’s attention. A chocolate bar may cost about $2.00 each but if you were to buy in bigger quantities you can be assured that the price will go down.

If you are a business and are looking for a fresh way to advertise your business then you should consider promotional candies. Everyone likes to have something that they can munch on throughout the day, so why not attach your logo to it. There are a variety of types of candies that you can use and in several different ways.
