Developing Strategic and Creative Methodologies For Increasing Results

Learn how to increase your conversion rate one step at a time. You goals are for prospects to make purchases, or subscribe, or register, or make referrals. Each of these goals is a “macro-action,” and you can measure its conversion rate. Every one of your macro-actions is composed of a series of smaller micro-actions.

Deliverable is to develop an efficient conversion system matching your selling process to your prospect’s buying decisions by dealing with real examples from your website.

Development Doesn’t Have to be Rocket Science

Step-by-Step Web Marketing (produced by IIR, sponsored by Google, and endorsed by the American Marketing Association) held in Atlanta, GA

Imagine an online ad that costs you nothing per impression, guarantees both a local and worldwide audience actively seeking your products and services, and offers 6 times the click-through rate of a banner ad… a search engine listing.

Search Engine Marketing is the ultimate targeted, low cost and high return weapon in the e-marketer’s promotional arsenal. Using search engines is the second most popular Web activity behind email. 80% of Internet sessions begin at search engines. 55% of online purchases are made on sites found through search engine listings. If you want to grab people’s attention online, you need to know how to get your message to people through search engines.

Companies who do not aggressively address search engine marketing are letting their competitors eat their lunch. Consider that Macys.com has nearly 500-fold more pages in Google than MarshallFields.com, Bloomingdales.com, Nordstrom.com, and NeimanMarcus.com combined! There is a serious gap in your e-marketing strategy if it does not include search engine marketing.

Join us for a hands-on, day-long workshop on search engine marketing, where, with a live Internet connection, we will tackle:

• Which search engines to target
• Hands-on keyword research
• Benchmarking against your competitors
• Google’s secrets revealed (PageRank, hyperlink text, etc.)
• Pay-for-performance search engines (Overture, etc.)
• Building links (directories, niche sites, etc.)
• Developing a search engine marketing plan
• Best and worst practices (emulate the leaders, squash your competition)
• Case studies, including the “inside scoop” on what worked and what didn’t
• Making your e-commerce or database-driven site “search engine friendly”
• Measuring the return on your search engine marketing investment
• Criteria for selecting a search engine marketing agency
• Online tools and resources

You’ll walk away with loads of practical, actionable tactics and tips. For example:

• How many pages of your site (and your competitors’ sites) each search engine has indexed
• The best sites in your industry to get links from for increasing your position in the search results
• Relative popularities of keywords that your target audience might use (e.g. what’s more popular with searchers - apparel, clothes, or clothing?)
• Workarounds for “spider traps” and poor search engine practices such as frames, question marks in URLs, Flash, pop-up windows, links that say “click here,” page titles like “Welcome to ABC.com”, pull-down navigation menus, etc.

This workshop is designed with non-technical marketers in mind. But even the Internet-savvy techie will get a lot of this tailored, intensive workshop. Sponsored by Google and endorsed by the American Marketing Association, Sales & Marketing Executives International, and the eMarketing Association.

So you’ve decided your web site needs an overhaul. Before you start work, you and your web developers need to do a bit of planning. Going off re-building a web site half-cocked is a sure fire recipe for disaster.

From this seminar you’ll get an understanding of what should go into a Request For Proposal, a strategic brief, a creative brief, a technical specification, a content plan, an Internet marketing plan, and more. You’ll also garner practical tips to keep your web redesign project on time, within the specs, and under budget. And you’ll learn what you need to ask from your web agency to keep them on the straight and narrow, even if you’re not a “techie” or a “creative” but a mere mortal like the rest of us.

If you catch yourself saying any of the following statements to yourself or colleagues, then run — don’t walk — to this seminar!

• Web design is just an extension of our current marketing collateral - we can reuse the text and graphics from our print pieces.
• If more people work on it, we’ll get it done faster.
• The Web is a place where you just try things and see what works - I have a friend who designs web sites in his spare time.
• Documentation is a waste of time and effort
• We can design the site ourselves and save money. We just want a group that will make the web pages we sketch out.
• We’ll send out a Request For Proposal and get lots of good ideas back for free.
• Web sites don’t need much maintenance. We can do it ourselves. It’ll be fun!
