Basic of Web Marketing

2011-05-16T08:05:00.000-07:00

Internet marketing is about giving—rather than getting—attention; and anyone working online should think about harnessing this potent tool, given what it can do for a business. A complement to traditional marketing, Internet marketing supports and enhances a company’s overall message by providing comprehensive information about a particular product or service, as well as answers to consumers’ questions. Internet marketing also exploits the Web’s networking capabilities by leveraging online community activities, links, affiliate marketing, viral marketing, e-mail marketing, and loyalty programs. In considering Internet marketing, keep a few key points in mind:

Visitors coming to a Web site are already aware of the brand. They want information.
Use Internet technology to understand your customers’ needs so you can offer them just the right information and products.
Remember that the Internet empowers consumers, and dissatisfied ones may use its networking capabilities to undermine your brand.

What You Need to KnowWhat kinds of products and services sell best on the Internet? Internet marketing is best suited for products and services that:

require lots of sales information. Travel and books, for example, are ideal for the Internet. Travel is a very information-intensive service. People want times, prices, and information about destinations. Book sales are strongly influenced by reviews, other readers’ opinions, tables of contents, summaries and sample chapters.
people feel strongly about. People form quick opinions about media like movies and books. Fans network with each other in online communities to discuss their favorite artists. Much of the huge success of The Blair Witch Project was attributed to fans getting together online and promoting it with enthusiastic reviews and dialogue.
are bought by Internet aficionados and web surfers. Although this audience has broadened, it is still generally the domain of the well-educated and upscale, plus those working in technology and academia.

Does online advertising work? Yes, but in its own way. As a pure branding tool, online advertising can’t deliver the same impact as, say, television or magazines, given its bandwidth restrictions. Studies indicate most consumers avoid interactive ads because they simply take too much time to download.
However, the real power of online advertising is not mass appeal but, rather, its ability to reach niche markets and precisely target the right consumer with just the right product or service. Contextual advertising services like Google AdWords and Yahoo! Search Marketing allow even the smallest advertisers to direct their messages with a laser-like focus, instead of a more traditional scattergun approach. Opt-in e-mail-based marketing—which enables consumers to request information about a certain product or service— is another advertising tactic that enjoys documents success online.

What to Do

Recognize that Internet Marketing Is Part of an Overall Strategy

The objective of Internet marketing should be its integration with an overall marketing strategy so that it supports and is supported by other marketing activities. But, that’s not to say Internet marketing doesn’t have its own unique characteristics. Internet marketing is not about a big idea, compelling graphics, and a killer catch phrase. Those are the marketing tactics that bring consumers to the Web site with their interest and questions to ask. Internet marketing answers those questions with the comprehensive information that a high-quality Web site should provide. Remember: If people have read the snazzy sales brochure offline, they’re not coming to the Web site to read it again!

Build More Exact Profiles of your Consumers
Internet marketing is most effective once it focuses on getting to know the consumer better. Its objective is to understand exact needs so that precisely the right products and services can be offered to prospective buyers at precisely the right time in precisely the right way. The strength of the Internet is also its weakness, however. While people want information, they also suffer from massive information overload. The Internet marketer who can bring to time-starved consumers only the information they need is much more likely to succeed. Find Web sites and e-mail databases that attract the exact type of consumer you to reach. Analyze statistics generated from consumers’ visiting your Web site and act accordingly on the key trends these statistics reveal. More sophisticated Web sites enable you to customize consumers’ experiences with personalization systems and present uniquely and finely targeted information and products to each visitor.

Use E-mail Marketing

Since the Web was launched, perceptive marketers have stressed that every Web site should have an e-mail marketing strategy. Consider: While consumers must actively decide to visit a Web site, e-mail lets them join a database and regularly receive information about products, services, and offers that the sending organization has available. The key to e-mail marketing success is:

finding those who want such e-mail alerts and newsletters sent regularly, and
convincing them to provide their e-mail addresses.

Of course, the critical prerequisite is supplying quality information they’ll want to sign up to receive.

Tap Into the Internet’s Potent Networking Ability
Think of the Internet as a community, one that offers a tremendously powerful means for uniting people with organizations. Linking is one of the simplest yet most effective Internet marketing devices there is and the foundation for affiliate marketing efforts by the likes of Amazon.com and e-bay. Linking is like embedded word of mouth. If another Web site links to yours, it is essentially recommending you to its own visitors. So-called “viral marketing” arises from this network; groups of consumers—which can swell into veritable hordes—create a buzz about a product or service by e-mailing friends and/or creating their own Web sites. Consumers gain power from Internet networking that they before enjoyed—and quite willing to wield, too: There are hundreds, if not thousands, of Web sites and activist groups established by disgruntled consumers whose abiding objective is attacking particular organizations.

Make Your Advertising Highly Focused for the MediumNot being a physical store leaves any Web site facing a constant challenge to achieve and maintain awareness among its target market. Traditional print and direct mail advertising are key tools in meeting this challenge, but so, too, are specific online marketing strategies. Registering with a commercial search engine is an obvious one. This is no simple, one-time task, but an ongoing activity because the rules search engines use to classify sites change constantly. Banner ads can be effective, if properly targeted. Banner ad design needs to exploit the unique characteristics of the medium and not simply rely on traditional advertising principles. A specialist agency can suggest suitable creative approaches. Getting other Web sites to link can be very effective, too, but it is a slow process that requires time to deliver its rewards. E-mail signatures can also promote a Web site effectively.

Use the Internet for Affiliate Marketing and Loyalty Programs There is no better example of the success of affiliate marketing than Amazon.com. Literally hundreds of thousands of Web sites offer books and other products to their visitors using Amazon’s affiliate program. It’s a classic “win-win” collaboration: A given Web site offers an extra service that is easy to establish and delivers a certain amount of revenue. The affiliate sponsor opens up a new sales channel every time another Web site links to it.
However, like all marketing techniques, it’s not some magic formula for guaranteed success. It needs proper thought and planning (and professional application).
Loyalty programs can flourish on the Internet although they have been over-hyped. Successfully managing loyalty programs depend on the use of customer databases and on effectively tracking customer purchasing behaviors. The Internet facilitates such activities and can be a medium that operates a top-notch loyalty program. More critical to success, though, is structuring the program’s incentives.

Build Loyalty With Online CommunitiesUsing Web logs ( or, simply “blogs”), chat, discussion boards, and e-mail directories to bring people together allows you to have valuable conversations with customers—to hear what they want, don’t want, and to enhance brand loyalty. Online communities also can be good routes for unique and cost-effective content. However, communities don’t work in all situations and if not properly managed can quickly lose momentum.

Don’t Forget the “Old” Marketing TricksDiscounts, competitions, and free offers work as well online as they do offline. While perhaps too much has been offered free on the Internet in order to build business, these traditional marketing techniques, properly used, can be effective on Web sites.

What to Avoid

Your Site Is Flashy For Its Own Sake
Although the Internet has been around since 1996, it is amazing that there are still a few marketers who think of it as TV on a computer screen. Web visitors don’t really care about the graphics; they just want the information. Splash screens, audio, video and flashy animations should be kept to an absolute minimum—and, even at that, they should always serve a real purpose. If not, such eye candy is a waste of time and money.

You Don’t Create a Deep Customer DatabaseAttracting people to a Web site without strongly encouraging them to join some sort of a database is a serious mistake. Studies indicate that many consumers will visit a Web site but once, then rarely return—if ever. It’s vital to get them into a database to establish ongoing communications.

You Focus on Visitor Numbers, Not Visitor QualityIn the early years of the Web there was a frantic rush to build visitor traffic to a site, without any real focus on considerations like revenue per visitor, or percentage of visitors who joined databases. In turn, acquisition costs for visitors were quite high; and when large numbers of visitors did not translate into large numbers of valuable customers, the business model for many Web sites collapsed with a thud. Don’t make the same mistake. You’re far better off with, say, 200 visitors who become customers than 20,000 visitors who don’t.

You Focus Only on a Site’s Purchasing ActivityThere is a need to understand how a Web site contributes to the overall purchasing process. For example, a great many people visit car Web sites before they make a purchase—but precious few will ever buy a car online. The key is to forget about gauging a site’s value by raw visitor volumes and focus on the quality of the site’s target, plus the influence that the Web site and e-mail communications have on purchasing behavior.

Actually we can not say Malaysia's richest man anymore since the entry of Puan Sri Lee Kim Hua :)

The wealth of the country's top 40 individuals was assessed based on the value of their stakes in listed companies.

KUALA LUMPUR: Business Times CEO of the Year 2010 Datuk Seri Stanley Thai has made it into the list of Malaysia's 40 richest individuals, a Malaysian Business survey reveals.
The magazine, in its Feb 16 issue, listed Thai, of Supermax Corporation Bhd, as a newcomer to the group, together with Tan Sri Leong Hoy Kum of Mah Sing Group Bhd and Datuk Tan Heng Chew of Tan Chong Holdings Bhd.

The magazine said the combined wealth of Malaysia's 40 richest tycoons has risen by more than 30 per cent, spurred by the bullish stock market and an expanding economy.

They were worth RM206.27 billion as at Jan 21, compared with RM156.7 billion a year ago.
It says there are more billionaires this year -- 27 of them, an increase of five from last year.

Robert Kuok, who returned to the sugar business last year, still tops the list at RM50.04 billion and telecommunications tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan remains in second place with RM45.78 billion.

Public Bank's Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow moved to the third place with a fortune estimated at RM12.77 billion while fourth is IOI Corporation Bhd's Tan Sri Lee Shin Cheng who is worth RM12.74 billion.

Genting Group's Tan Sri Lim Kok Thay, unchanged at No. 5, has RM10.89 billion while Hong Leong Group's Tan Sri Quek Leng Chan takes the sixth spot with RM10.75 billion, up from RM7.09 billion previously.

In seventh place is Tan Sri Syed Mokhtar Albukhary of the Albukhary Foundation, whose flagship is the DRB-Hicom Group. He is valued at RM8.84 billion.

Tan Sri Lim Goh Tong's widow, Puan Sri Lee Kim Hua, unchanged at number eight, has RM7.43 billion while Tan Sri Tiong Hiew King of the Rimbunan Hijau Group returns at No. 9 with RM4.77 billion.

Singapore-domiciled Ong Beng Seng claims the 10th spot, with his wealth doubled to RM3.98 billion, going past Berjaya Group's Tan Sri Vincent Tan who drops two rungs to No. 12.

Former prime minister Tun Dr Mahathir Mohamad's son, Datuk Mokhzani Mahathir, of Kencana Petroleum, is ranked 19th with RM1.665 billion.

KUALA LUMPUR: Robert Kuok, the sugar king who owns a string of five-star hotels in the region, retained his position as the richest individual in Malaysia with assets worth a staggering RM50.04 billion with telecommunications tycoon T. Ananda Krishnan, who is worth RM45.78 billion, coming in a close second.

In third place is Public Bank chairman Tan Sri Teh Hong Piow, who moved up one notch with a fortune of RM12.77 billion, said the Malaysian Business magazine based on a survey of the 40 richest individuals in the country.

As in previous years, the wealth of the country's top 40 individuals was assessed based on the value of their stakes in listed companies.
The survey also revealed Malaysia's 40 richest individuals were collectively worth RM206.27 billion as at Jan 21, up 30 per cent compared with RM156.7 billion last year, boosted by the bullish stock market and an expanding economy.

"The overall increase is in tandem with the 20 per cent rise in the FBM KLCI benchmark," it said. -BERNAMA

Take some time to send your existing customers' referrals and buying incentives.
Have you thought about introducing yourself to the media? Free publicity has the potential to boost your business. Position yourself as an expert in your field.
Invite people into your store by piggybacking onto an event. What about a concert coming to town, willing to sell those tickets for them? If not, how about a walkathon that is taking place in your area, why not be public outreach and distribute their material?

When you do spend money on marketing, don't forget to create a way to track those marketing efforts. You can do this by coding your ads, using multiple toll-free telephone numbers, and asking prospects where they heard about you. This enables you to notice when a marketing tactic stops working. You can then quickly replace it with a better choice or method.

Mr Clean Guerrilla Marketing

Guerilla Marketing - The Bottom Line

In order to fully understand and utilize Guerilla Marketing, you must comprehend the world around you. That's right, the one that bombards "potential customers" with advertisements everywhere they look. On any given day, your potential customers see thousands of advertisements and have developed an automatic filter to them. Therefore, you must stand out if you are ever to be remembered!

When developing your Guerilla Marketing Plan, remember these rules:

Time is not on your side - make your impact fast and to the point
Keep it current - your customers know their current events, try and use that to your benefit
Shock treatment - use the element of surprise or displacement to get noticed
Be a Smart Guerilla - doing illegal acts to get noticed may help get you noticed by can also land you in jail.
