    CRM: Culture or Technology
    I was recently asked to present on the impact of technology on sales, has it helped, in what way, or has it had a negative impact?After examining the issue with some colleagues and experts in the field, it became clear that technology is an enabler, and as such amplifies what is already there, and what is not.I don't think that that there is anyone in sales today that has not heard of, used or been impacted by a CRM package of one sort or another, be it a simple contact management application with some added functionality, to a top of the line CRM that fully integrate with other enterprise applications. Many companies will tell you of the disasters they have encou

    The rush of local advertisers staking their claim to the top paid advertising spots on the search engines, networks and local online directories surprised Gordon Borrell, president and chief executive of market research firm Borrell Associates. His firm’s research shows that US companies who operate strictly on a local level will spend $3.9 billion dollars for online advertising in 2005. That’s roughly double what they had predicted for the year and well above the 28.4% growth they reported for 2004.

    Borrell’s numbers are conservative however, when compared to the United Kingdom (UK) spending numbers released by the Interactive Advertising Bureau. They showed spending overall on online advertising to be up more than 60% in 2004 over 2003. Paid Search Advertising accounted for 39.5% of that figure and was itself up more than 87% over the previous year.

    "We've always viewed local advertisers as fairly conservative in that they don't have that much to spend," Borrell told Clickz Network reporter Rob McGann. "Typically you expect them to funnel most of their ad spend into direct mail and yellow pages, with only a small percentage for online, but that is not the case at all this year.”

    Email Marketing Mistakes
    Many business owners who opt to try email marketing make the mistake of believing any type of email marketing is beneficial. This is simply not true; there are a number of mistakes business owners can make when they organize an email marketing campaign. Examples of these types of mistakes may include allowing promotional materials to be tagged as spam, not following up with promotional emails, not being prepared for an influx of customers after an email marketing effort and not marketing specifically to the target audience.We will begin our discussion on email marketing mistakes with spam. Spam is a problem which is reaching endemic proportions. Each day Internet users a

    Success of a Website
    The success of your website depends on you, and solely you.It is not the simple operation of building a website and making money as many would have you believe, there is much more to it.If you want to be in the position to make money with your website then you must start as you mean to go on.You have built your website and it contains four or possibly five pages of content, this is a good start, but it is only the start you must now continue to make it a successful website.By successful I mean by reaching the giddy heights of seeing your website in the top twenty of the search engines for your chosen keyword.The easiest way of course is to pay

    'Short' Copy or 'Long' Copy - Which Works Best?
    For anyone involved in the development of a marketing message, there has been a long-standing debate for which there is no absolute answer.That debate has centered on whether it is better to use sales copy in advertising, direct mail, even brochures or websites, that is ‘short’ or ‘long.’What does that mean?For most of us, we can think of ads we’ve seen in most magazines. They usually feature a picture or illustration, combined with a headline, combined with a small amount of ‘copy,’ or words that tell us more about the product or service, and ask us to do something.These are ‘short’ copy messages – a couple of para
    ob McGann. "Typically you expect them to funnel most of their ad spend into direct mail and yellow pages, with only a small percentage for online, but that is not the case at all this year.”

    WSI Internet Consultant Ron Adelman wasn’t surprised at all. He believes that local advertisers are behaving conservatively when they choose to participate in paid online advertising. In fact, he says 80% of these local business people jump at the chance to do Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns when he shows them how many people locally are searching on keywords related to their business. He also reports that every single one of his current clients is engaged in some level of PPC ad campaign, targeting either a local, national, or international audience.

    “Pay-Per-Click is the best way for any company to reduce their advertising risk. Because even if your campaign isn’t that good, you only pay when you get results – when you get someone to click through to your site” he shares.

    The other risk Adelman believes these businesses are reducing is the overall financial risk posed by the high bid prices many generic but popular search terms can pose. Very competitive keywords like “mortgages” or “Web design” could easily command a bid price of $10, $15, or even $30
