Adding Internet Marketing To My Offline Business...Should I Try It?
 By frank cheshire | Published  09/10/2007 | Marketing | Rating:


So you have  your own small business already. Maybe it is a consulting business or a perhaps service that you offer to other small businesses. So far you have succeeded without the help of online marketing.

So here's the question then...
So why try Internet marketing now?

Ill give you 3 good reasons why you should consider adding online marketing to your toolboxof marketing strategies.

1) Choosing an internet marketing agency  to work with means to be able to tweak a marketing message right in the middle of campaign-- immediately. Up until now you may have invested in offlineadvertising such as yellow page, flyers, magazines, newspapers, radio or val-pak. And maybe they have more than paid for themselves...or not. This type of advertising is a one shot deal. In other wordsyou went ahead and spent the money and didnt know if it was a success or not until it was too late.

Think about that for a second. You invest 1,500 a month for a magazine adnot knowing if this advertisement will pay for itself. Once the ad is placed, you have to wait  12 months & 18,000.00 later to adjust your marketing message.

Imagine working with an internet marketing service that could show you how to adjust your online marketing message  with a few clicks of a mouse? Thats right, if it doesnt seem to make the phone ring you can change your website design or website promotion or sales letter in just a few minutes. In other words you do not have to sit on your hands for the next 365 days That leads us into the next point.


2) Finding an agency for internet marketing means being able to test and quantify your marketing message immediately and then being able to adjust your message for maximum results. Did you know that you can take an offline advertisent you are about to run in print, and throw it up on the internet to let the public decide if they are interested in it or not?  Can you see how this could help your cash flow by only using tested advertising peices? All of this can be tested with online marketing tools like Google Adwords. Even better then that such online marketing tools allow you to tweak and refine your marketing message to improve your conversions. Changing the words in the headline of an internet website has lead to dramatic improvements from 300-1700%.   I wonder how much money is being left on the table with your existing marketing promotions?

3) Selecting the best internet marketing agency for your needs means researching exactly what the specific wordsyour potential clients are looking for on the web. Believe it or not most of the time these keywords are not the ones you would have chosen. Can you imagine if you would have built your entire marketing message around the words and phrases you would have chosen?   Sad to say we see this all the time when websites talk over our head using industry phrases that we have never heard of before.

Can you see how teaming up with an internet marketing company can make a difference in your business?

Why not look at adding online marketing to your existing marketing strategies. I think you will be pleasantly suprised at the results.
