HOW TO GROW REVENUE
There are three things a business can dial up to grow revenue:
Traffic, Conversions and Average Order Value/Lifetime Value.

16. WEBSITE RESPONSIVE TESTING
WHAT IS RESPONSIVE
DESIGN?
Responsive design recognizes the device the
person is using and automatically
“responds,” making it look great on wide
screens, laptops, tablets or mobile
phones. With responsive design, there is
no need for a separate mobile version and
SEO is maintained across devices.
WHAT’S YOUR
OPPORTUNITY?
Better conversion rate! When a website
“doesn’t work right” on the device it’s
being viewed on, the viewer is highly likely
to simply close it, meaning you lose that
chance to make a conversion.
Better search rankings! Google has begun
including whether a site is responsive or
not in its ranking algorithms.
95% of mobile users use their
phone for local search
46% of
consumers
will NOT
return if a
mobile site is
not working
Google has officially released a Mobile Responsive Algorithm
update giving mobile responsive sites more ranking authority.

17. LEAD GENERATION
Use outbound marketing tactics to reach your ideal
customers. By creating a systematic – yet personalized -
approach to lead generation, you’re able to play the
numbers game. Our campaigns are designed to build
interest in the services that you provide.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I RUN A LEAD
GENERATION CAMPAIGN?
• Sales talks to prospects who WANT to talk to them
• You’ll have data that can be used to predict future
results

contacts that can be nurtured
• By using a systematic approach, you’re able to
increase the number of prospects you can target
• By keeping your campaigns personalized, you stand
out from your competitors

18. LEAD WARM-UP
We will we re-engage your list of past contacts AND use
this campaign to nurture leads from our System the
Game efforts. Your sales team will be able to speak with
leads who are “warmed up” after we have provided
quality content to these contacts.
Through the act of lead scoring, reps will be able to
focus their time on leads marketing qualified leads that
are ready to speak to them.
BENEFITS OF USING A NURTURE SYSTEM:
• Sales can focus on engaged/interested leads
• Save time by pushing contacts through a workflow
(no manual follow ups)
• Provide the right content to your leads at the right time

19. Search Engine Optimization (SEO)
The next slide goes over a July 2014 report by Moz. They conducted a study to determine the Click Through Rate for
each organic position in Google (desktop searches only).
Their findings show just how important the top rankings of Google are to the amount of organic traffic a company
receives.
What is offsite SEO?
Offsite SEO deals with the elements of SEO-based marketing that are done outside of your site, often times referred to as SEM
(search engine marketing).
These elements can include:
-Back-linking or inbound linking
-Article directory submissions

Onsite SEO is any form of SEO that can be done on your website without exterior elements.
This can include the use of:

-Alt text on images

20. IMPORTANCE OF TOP RANKINGS

22. Sharing is caring and inbound is about creating and sharing content with the world as an industry thought leader. By
creating additive manufacturing or 3D print content specifically designed to appeal to your dream customers, inbound
attracts qualified prospects to your business and keeps them coming back for more. Inbound marketing implemented
correctly will become the largest asset to your marketing efforts.

23. +

their time on leads marketing qualified leads that are ready to speak to them.

25. EMAIL MARKETING STRATEGIES
NEW CUSTOMERS EMAIL DRIP
New customers may have questions about how your products/services work. A series of short welcome emails
can give new customers an idea of what to expect, introduce them to key people at ALCOA and nurture your new
business relationship. Communication is one of the biggest drivers for increasing the LTV of your customers.
OUTBOUND EMAILS
Outreach to prospects who match your ideal customer profile. The primary goals: to kick off a relationship with
ALCOA and to gather marketing intelligence within their organization.
NURTURE EMAILS
The longer your sales cycle, the more important it is for your sales team to have a nurture system in place. Don’t
let your outbound efforts go to waste! Continue to build upon relationships with prospects who are not ready to buy
at this time, but could become a customer at a later date.

26. BUYER PERSONAS
Buyer personas are representations of different people
in your market. We use personas to examine the
behaviors, attitudes, pains, needs and wants of specific
demographics you want to reach. This information helps
us develop messaging and choose tactics that speak to
the needs of your audience, in the communication
method they prefer. Buyer personas are crucial in
inbound marketing and lead scoring.
BUYER PERSONAS SHOULD INCLUDE:
• Psychographics - how do your customers think?
• Goals - what are they trying to accomplish?
• Pain points - what problems are they experiencing?
• Desired experience - how do they want to be treated?
• Objections - what mental obstacles need to be
overcome?

27. TYPES OF NURTURE CAMPAIGNS -
PROSPECTS
WARM LEADS
These people are interested, but need a little more time or information. Send them a small item every 3 weeks over a 9
week period to keep you top of mind.
HOT LEADS
Send these people something within a week. Including a handwritten note from the sales rep gives a personal touch.
LET’S TALK LATER LEADS
Put these people into a system to receive a “reminder” item from you about a week before your scheduled time to “talk
later.”
CONSULTANTS / SALES REPS
For representatives or consultants who refer business to you, consider a separate nurture campaign to reach out to
these people 2 to 4 times per year.
• Nurtured leads make 47% larger purchases than non-nurtured leads
• 48% of B2B companies have a nurture program in place
• Companies with mature lead generation and management practices have a 9.3% higher sales quota
achievement rate

28. NURTURE CAMPAIGN ITEMS
You can spend a lot or a little, depending on the average lifetime
value of signing a new customer. Try to think beyond everyday
items like pens and send them something that relates to the
value your services will bring them. Don’t be afraid to send
something crazy! You can have a lot of fun with nurture
campaigns and stand out as a company people will want to work
with.
ITEMS WE HAVE SENT FOR OUR OWN
NURTURE CAMPAIGNS AND THOSE

29. REMARKETING
GENERATING REPEAT TRAFFIC
Remarketing lets you show ads to users who've previously
visited your website as they browse the Web.
It’s cheap, easy and effective. It’s foolish not to do it!
WHAT’S YOUR OPPORTUNITY?
Reinforce Brand Awareness! Even if they don’t click,
people will be reminded of your business, keeping you “top
of mind.”
Drive Traffic! Remarketing can bring prospects back to
you.
Better Conversion Rate! Remarketing can re-engage
prospects who are still undecided.
Target Audience
Searches Online
Visits Your Website Your Audience Sees Your
Ads on Other Sites
Visitor Clicks Your Ad
and Returns to Your
Website

30. SEARCH RETARGETING
GENERATING REPEAT TRAFFIC
We can even use Remarketing Lists for Search Ads (RLSA). This is a feature that lets us customize your search
ad campaigns for people who have previously visited your site, and tailor your bids and ads to these visitors when
they’re searching on Google.
WHY IT’S EVEN MORE AWESOME THAN REGULAR RETARGETING:
You want to show up when a prospect searches for “3D printing” but you know that far too many disqualified
people search for that keyword on a monthly basis. Well, since you know this person has visited your website,
opened an email or visited a landing page, you can advertise on that keyword with a specific message tailored to
that prospect that stands out from the competition.
Two for one.
Retargeting not only increases traffic to your website, but it helps increase your conversion rates (which will be talked
about in the next section).

31. A/B TESTING… EVERYTHING
How do you know what works unless you test it?
The answer? You don’t!
Whether it’s the homepage of your website, an email blast, a nurture campaign, or a landing page, we believe in
testing it all. Our approach to A/B testing can be broken down into 4 categories:
• Forest: Very broad testing. Example: While testing a landing page we would decide whether short form or long
form landing pages convert best.
• Trees: More specific testing. Example: On that landing page, we find out whether people would rather call or fill
out a form/email your company.
• Branches: Even more specific testing. Example: What colors and wordings in the call to actions generate the
greatest results.
• Leaves: The best way to describe this kind of testing? OCD. Every small detail is tested on the page.
