Albuquerque Web Marketing, The Internet For Local Business
To me it is crazy. As I look through magazines, news papers, and TV I get shudders. I can’t believe how local Albuquerque area businesses are blowing their money on ineffective advertising. What’s more all of these mediums go away. If you want to advertise again you must pay full price. OUCH!
Let me ask you something. How are you tracking this form of advertising? Sure the sales people tell you that so many people are seeing your stuff but how do you know? How do you figure out what percentage of people are taking action. It is impossible with traditional media. Local businesses are blowing their advertising budgets and doing it month after month.
Let me introduce you to internet marketing. More people are using Google then the phone books now. More people are pulling out their cell phones and doing internet searches for local businesses. If you are not showing up you are dead!
Most businesses can reduce their monthly advertising budget, transition some of the money toward the internet and experience incredible track able results. The game is changing and it is time to embrace this medium called the internet, after all it is here to stay and highly effective.
Imagine instead of paying tons of money for traditional advertising you were to find a trusted advisor who could help you set up an internet marketing campaign. When someone searches for your product or service online they see your business, where you are located, coupon you may have etc. What if you had a video to teach them about your product or service and actually began forming a relationship with your prospective customer?
As a small business you can now control the message and engage customers. Never in history has there been a time so open for businesses to jump in and engage the people who are pulling money out of their pockets. If you were to start using tools like Twitter, Youtube, Facebook, Google’s Local Business Center, Google Maps, BING, Yahoo and a host of other FREE services you could become part of the conversation and build your brand in ways that you can’t imagine.
The tools mentioned above are free and are where your customers are at. Why not become a friend of your customers and begin using relationship marketing to improve your business? The use of online video is reaching new heights with YouTube alone getting over a billion hits a day. Don’t you think your business should be part of that and take advantage of all that traffic? I do.
I implore you to take action today. Do not keep throwing your money into the wind. Internet marketing for local businesses is affordable and highly effective. Once you start you will be hooked and wonder why you did not begin sooner. Start today by getting a twitter account and asking your customers to follow you. Build it up over time and offer them value in their lives. Watch what happens when you engage your customer. It will be awesome!
