1. Research
the Market: "Making Your Market our Market"
- Research
trade/industry publications that concern your business on a monthly
basis in order to:
- Identify
and profile our prospective customers that use the internet. Determine
the opportunities and challenges that face this type of project
on the Internet.
- Stay
abreast of current market trends and marketing techniques in your
genre.
- Determine
what our competition is doing, and adjust or add ideas as needed.
Explore what "experts" in our market recommend and teach.
2. Set
project goals (ongoing, part of reporting process).
3. Develop
a Reciprocal Link Program.
- Search
out sites and contact owners to request links. There will be a good
deal of time devoted to "checking up" on our link partners' sites to
make sure our link is still active.
4. If
possible develop a "Hub" of informative content.
- Traffic
is KING on the internet. Traffic is built by creating content that people
are looking for.
5. Promote
the site!
- Search
engine registration (focus on top 20, but not limited to...)
- Build
keywords and content coding into pages, to make search engine database
queries more accurate and active.
- Utilize
the strategy of Doorway pages. These are additional simple pages that
advertise a site and are written exclusively to be hit by certain search
engines and draw visitors through them to our main page. It is common
practice on the internet today and is considered an essential step in
drawing traffic.
- Advertising
- Suggest,
place advertisements (online and other mediums), and integrate our
website into existing advertision as needed and approved by management,
and/or according to pre-determined budget.
- Plan,
Suggest and implement promotional giveaways as content to draw traffic
and build awareness. (Promotional Trips, Puluxy Summit T-Shirts
etc)
- Report
monthly on progress: site traffic, search engine placement, reciprocal
links, immediate project direction, suggest future projects (marketing),
techniques, and goals or direction. Maintain contact with the customer
to determine focus, and examine direction and goals.
