Editor's Notes
- Tom, this graphic will be updated…order of build: funnel, Commission Junction, PriceRunner, ValueClick Media and Mediaplex… Tom, lot of details here, please review and latch onto what resonates with you to make this your own “soft” pitch. Due to this unique relationship, we’ve had an increasing number of you – both advertisers and publishers – ask us about the other parts of ValueClick and how they can provide opportunities to grow your businesses… Well, perhaps the best way to describe all the opportunities that ValueClick offers you is to use the classic “sales funnel.” At the top, Awareness is where you let your target market know about you, what you have to offer and try to generate interest. In the middle, Leads is where you follow-up and try to close with potential clients who are currently “in-market.” And finally, at the bottom, of course, is Sales . Whereas everyone here at CJU is primarily focused on the lower half of the funnel, all of the areas of the funnel are important to building a sustainable business. And that is exactly how we’ve built at ValueClick – solutions for advertisers and publishers for that address each part of this funnel. Since every business is interested in sales, I’ll start there. As many or most of you know, Commission Junction is the largest provider of affiliate marketing services in the world, but what many people don’t realize is that in addition to rev-share programs, Commission Junction is also a formidable provider of lead-based programs. Driving qualified leads to increase your sales… Now, complementing Commission Junction in terms of delivering highly-qualified leads is our PriceRunner comparison shopping engine. This division began in Europe where it is now the largest in Scandinavia and the third-largest in the UK. Recently PriceRunner has expanded into France, Germany, and the US. And while we’ve only been live here in the US for a little over a year, PriceRunner has already been named the favorite shopping engine by both PC World magazine and Good Housekeeping. And as you can expect with lead generation of this nature, delivering a customer at this stage of the buying cycle is invaluable, since they are well-informed and ready to make a buying decision. Our ValueClick Media division is also a giant in lead generation, producing over 5 million qualified leads a month for industries across the board. And in addition to capturing basic contact information, this division specializes in surveying respondents with questions that are customized to each advertiser, to better assist them in their qualification and segmentation process. In addition to lead generation, our Media division also boasts a reach allowing you to interact with 75% of the US internet audience every month! Lastly, ValueClick provides foundational technology through our Mediaplex division . After a substantial amount of development and integration work, Mediaplex now offers the only technology that truly incorporates both paid and natural search, adserving, email and affiliate marketing capabilities in one platform, with one set of tracking. This platform – named MOJO – finally delivers on the “marketing dashboard” concept that’s been thrown around for years. Well, we’re also offering the opportunity for you to explore it in greater detail, in a couple of ways: 1)Check your conference packets, there’s a card you can fill out that designates what things you’re interested in learning more about. Just fill that out and put it in the box at the registration table to join us tomorrow from 12:30 to 1:30 in the Anacapa conference room. We’re going to have representatives from each area available to talk to you and answer your questions during a Value Click lunch presentation. 2)At all of the social & networking events, we’ll have representatives from each division in attendance, so feel free to ask to be introduced to someone from an area of the company you’re interested in learning more about and we’ll be glad to help you out.
