Is Your Website "Netting" you a Profit?

Erin Glass - Wednesday, July 08, 2009
Do you know how much money your website actually makes you every day, week, month, year? If not, you should.

You should be able to know how much traffic you generate each day, from where, how they're finding you, what key words they're typing in the search engines to locate your site, what they buy, what product/service is most popular, and so on.

Most people would get overwhelmed thinking about how many systems they would need in order to manage it all. You can actually use one system to manage everything from website creation, updates to email marketing, blogs, discussion forums, catalogs, shopping cart/ecommerce, photo galleries, website statistic and analytics, and more. 

It's so user friendly that if you can create a word document you can use it. You really shouldn't waste another day wondering if your website is working hard for you. Find out today and have a 360 degree view of your customers and your business.

You can even sign up for a free trial first! www.viziun.com

You can also get consultation on how to use the system to actually help you generate more revenue. It's not just software, it's an online business solution.

Social Media Overload?

Erin Glass - Friday, May 29, 2009
Is anyone else out there finding it a "job" just to manage your social media marketing? There are so many great tools out there to put you in front of your target audience but who has the time to manage it all?

I've found an awesome tool for automating my twitter account. It cost me $27 but WELL WORTH IT!!! I added 500 new contacts in one day (and they were specifically targeted contacts) and I wasn't even on my computer. I'm serious.

I usually don't buy into all this "get it done quick" stuff but I took the gamble and am really glad I did.

I've also found a great tool for Facebook too and am in the midst of testing it out before I give my feedback.

If you're wanting to expand your reach to your target market for FREE (well, essentially Free after you pay the $27...ha) then ask me about it.

I can help walk you through the set up process. It can be a little cumbersome at first but once you set it up, it's on auto-pilot!

It's called the Twitter Traffic Machine by Bill Crosby. Check it out and start buildiing your list today!

Enjoy,

Best and Worst Ways to Grow Your Email Lists

Erin Glass - Wednesday, May 27, 2009

Are you refusing to take part in this recession? If not, you should be.  Did you know that the ROI from email marketing is roughly $57.25 for every $1 spent. Where else can you find returns like that; certainly not the stock market these days.

 

But, how are you building your email lists? This is a question we get frequently.  People are resorting to buying lists of people who most likely have no need for their product and therefore they are having very little success in converting those leads to sales.

 

Check out this article by Exact Target, Ball State University, and Email Marketers Club discussing “Best, Worst & Future Email.  You may take away some great tips on how to build an email list that will target customers who are actually interested in your product or service.

 

If you do not have a way to collect data from your website visitors today, you could be missing out on thousands of HOT leads!  Once you’ve collected those leads, you need to automate the follow up and “relationship marketing”. To learn more about how you can create an effective contact us form and set up an automated email marketing campaign, contact us today!

 Don’t let your competition get your customer!

Would You Like To Automate Your Income?

Erin Glass - Sunday, May 24, 2009
Okay, so who wouldn't want to put their income stream on auto-pilot? It sounds great, but is it realistic? I say yes, it is. There are ways that you can set your business up to run while you sleep, play golf, or go on vacation. You know that saying, "if you build it, they will come". Well, that's not entirely true. There are things you have to do to drive leads to your business.

In the world wide web of business advertising (websites) there is more competition than ever before and it's only positioned to get tougher. You HAVE to know who you're targeting and put together a solution to get in front of them. You can have the greatest product or the best service and if no one knows about you, you could go out of business as quickly as you got into business. Don't be a statistic!

So, let's say you have done your research, invested time and money into optimizing your website, have your products or services ready to go, and.....you start getting traffic. What do you have in place to capture this traffic? Do you have a contact us form. Not just an email to ask them to reach out to you? You should be capturing people when they're on your site. Do you have a CRM (contact database)? Does your website talk to your CRM? If it doesn't it should or you could be missing out on tons of warm leads!! This is vital.

Now, the next step is follow up. How are you followiing up with all these leads? Can you handle hundreds or thousands a day on your own? Why not set up a system that automatically will follow up with each person on it's own? You can use auto-responders to automatically generate a thank you email. With using Viziun Insite you can also have each prospect/lead automatically be filtered into an email campaign that you have pre-designed to go out on a repetitive cycle. For example, they fill out a contact us form, they go into the "lead campaign" group. Now they'll receive a series of emails that you have designed to go out every few weeks to stay in front of that lead. The goal is to convert more leads to sales. On average it takes 7-8 touches before a lead becomes a customer. Why not set up your database to do the work for you? Makes sense, right?

Take it one step further. Let's say you are emailing these leads but how do you know they're reading them or that it's even drivng any activity? Well, Viziun Insite can tell you who opened the email, how many times they opened it, what links they clicked on inside the email, any actions they took on your website, any products they purchased as a result, and so on. You now have a complete 360 degree veiw of your prospect/client activity.

Once your prospect or client is in the system, you will have an ongoing customer record history where you can add your own notes, tasks, calls or action items. The customer can even have their own secure log in where they can access their account to view past orders, etc.

And, keep in mind, all of this wonderful activity is being captured PASSIVELY! You aren't doing any manual labor. You simply wake up in the morning, log in to see the statistics, and smile at how many new customers you are capturing every day.

Viziun Insite has many more features and this is just one. If you are ready to set your businenss up on auto-pilot, call us for a free consultation.
