Adwords Management – Have a USP?
It’s time to distill your message to its most salient point. Although you may think you have pared it down to a tight message, have you told your customers why exactly they need to buy from you?
After all, this could be the most important part in your AdWords management. Because this is the ingredient in marketing that trumps all others. With this ingredient, everything in marketing gets easy. Without it, people wander around in an aimless stupor for years.
What’s this “thing,” this magic ingredient? It’s having a good answer to the following question:
Why should I do business with you, instead of any and every other option available to me, including the option of doing absolutely nothing at all? What do you have to offer that your competitor’s don’t.
Another way of asking the same question is:
What do you guarantee?
When you can truly answer these two questions, your ads will practically write themselves. When you can truly answer these questions, people will be lining up to buy from you.
When your business has a simple yet unmistakable mission, it will stands out in an age of confusing marketing messages and corporate mumbo jumbo. By answering this question you establish your unique selling proposition (USP). This will be a statement of value that’s so clear and focused that it will be almost impossible for your potential customer to misunderstand it.
Less is more. Your business will grow, the world will sit up and take notice, and even your Google ads will write themselves, when you stand out from the crowd with a clear, simple, and utterly unique message.
WHAT IS A USP?
Your USP is what makes you special. It is that one thing special about you that your customer can’t find anywhere else. It is your Unique Selling Proposition. It is what you bring to the table that no other business tries to do, or possibly even can.
Your USP is about the uniqueness of your product, and it’s more than that. It’s your whole argument for not just your product but also its accompanying services, why it’s necessary in the first place, and the timing of getting the product and seeing your problem solved now, rather than later.
A lot of the difficulties people have with Google come not from doing Google AdWords wrong per se, but from a USP that isn’t clear or maybe isn’t even unique in the first place. If you have your USP right up front, everything from the keywords and ads to the price of your product, all that falls into place.
Email Marketing and The Mailing List
We all know that every aspect of Internet marketing has a specific tool that helps to drive traffic and sales, and any email marketing campaign is no different. What you need to concentrate on here is developing and building up a mailing list since that is the real cornerstone of any successful email marketing campaign. Remember that there is no denying the power of a well run email marketing campaign and with that in mind there are specific things you can do to ensure that your mailing list is strong and healthy.
Offer Something For Free
One of the oldest advertising gimmicks in the book is still one of the more effective. Its important to keep in mind that you really want your mailing list to have opt in clients. Those are the people that are much more likely to read what youve got for them, and offering this kind of incentive will push them to sign up. One of the more effective techniques is to get a content writer to write a free ebook and then offer the use of it as a bonus for signing on.
Contests
People love to be included in interactive events. Sponsoring a contest on your site draws people in to sign. There is one drawback that youll need to be aware of if you travel this route. Not everyone who subscribes in this manner will eventually convert into a sale. Many of the people that you attract this way will be people habitually playing all the contests looking for the latest freebie.
Article Marketing
This is one of the most tried and tested methods used today. Hiring a ghost writer who will work for a reasonable fee all but ensures that youll get a series of professional articles submitted that cant help but eventually build your mailing list.
Directories
Again, this is one of the more traditional but effective methods used on the Internet. Business Directories are a great way of getting your name out there in cyberspace so that you can draw the kind of attention that will help to build your mailing list in the end.
Of course there are other methods that include ad swaps and hover ads, but the major point here is that you want to have people subscribe to your mailing list. That way, youll already have their willing attention and the buildup on your mailing list will result in a solid email marketing campaign.
