– Utilize bullet points
– Helpful graphics
• One page per topic/service area/product

results

(direct mail or print) have a 1.7% close rate

driving traffic to websites
On-Site Ranking Factors

The Definitive Social Media Purpose Guide

are more likely to buy the products of brands
they follow online.
• 50% of shoppers have made a purchase based on
a recommendation through a social media
network

Google search rankings in the U.S.
Increasing Social Media Engagement

– “Like if..” posts
– Questions
– Polls
Building a Fan Community
• Like/follow other businesses on
Facebook/Twitter
– Respond to and/or share their content
– Reach out to partner for cross-promotion
• Don’t just share your own content
– Share links within your industry
– Tag authors/publishing brands
• Talk TO your fans, not AT them
Email Marketing
Email Marketing is NOT Dead
• A 2012 survey of consumer channel habits
and preferences found 77% preferred to
receive permission-based promotions via
email
• Email marketing pieces should be:
– Targeted
– Informative
– USEFUL
Building a Qualified Database
• NEVER buy an email list
• Place an email newsletter signup form on your
website
– Place in a prominent location
– Promote in blogs and on social media
• Give people a REASON to receive your emails
Crafting an Email
• Short and concise subject
• Content ideas
– Use recent blogs posts from your site
• Drives traffic back to your website
• Summarize 3 – 4 blog posts, include images, and link each
back to your website
– Share a new page on your site (new products,
services, etc.)
