| Internet
marketing and promotion adopts a whole new
concept in advertising. Virtually everything you
learned in business 101 you can throw out the
window. The Internet has its own distinct rules
and those who choose to ignore the rules do so
at their peril.
The
reasons why certain traditional formats will not
apply to the Internet are clearly definable and
require far more space than can be dedicated
here. Suffice to say it is those very
differences that make the Internet what it is
and provide the power that drives it.
We
can provide the marketing and promotion programs
for our clients that work because we grew up
with the Internet and understand what produces
results.
Perhaps
the biggest mistake that most companies make are
the goals which they are attempting to achieve
through their advertising and promotion
programs. It is sometimes difficult to
understand and believe that what you must
promote is not your product or service, it is
your web site.
Unlike
any other type of advertising the company has
unlimited space to sell their product or
service. There are web sites that have literally
thousands of pages devoted to selling their
product in the greatest possible detail. The
goal then becomes bringing the customer to the
web site with an effective click through link.
The old sales adage "Know when to shut
up" was never more true than with Internet
web site promotion.
The
entire process of Internet success begins with
defining web site purpose, continues with site
design and development, and culminates with
marketing and promotion. All of the elements
must flow smoothly together to produce the
results that will insure success.
We
have an entire web site dedicated to answering
the myriad of questions addressing the elements
of a successful web site. Check in at WEB
