1. Collaborative Internet Marketing

Hunt, connect and collaborate with other companies, with complementary products and services, who are trying to reach the same target customers as you are.

This age old barter system in advertising circles, can drive high quality customers to each participating brand, through innovative bundled promotions. Why, even your advertising dollars can be clubbed together to create a compelling internet campaign that you cannot afford on your own.

2. Squeeze The Tubes!

In-person cold-calling, seminars and demonstrations are good for businesses but have become increasingly expensive. And with the latest pandemic, it is now impossible to conduct such events. On the other hand, companies are saving valuable man-hours, that was otherwise wasted in travel and waiting in reception rooms.

So businesses that have longer sales cycles or complicated products that need demonstration, can squeeze the best out of video marketing channels, like You Tube – Flickr – Slideshare – Vimeo and others. And of course, their own websites.

Get your employees, existing customers and well-wishers to “Like” and spread the videos to their social networks on Facebook / Linkedin / Twitter / Google+. Watch for yourself the surprising viral effect this does to your brand!

Now’s the best time to use animated videos to give target audiences a look and feel of offers before a sales resource gets in touch with them!

3. Squeeze Negative PPC Keywords

Stretch your advertising budget by doing the most obvious. Like squeezeeeee out the negative keywords from your PPC / CPC campaigns.

What usually happens is that most businesses are using Adwords to just “set and forget” their campaigns. While it works well in some cases, where clicks flow in without micro-management, what it also does is burn your dollars if there are no Conversions!

Using the negative keywords and supporting conversion funnel strategies, you can get the best out of automated pay – per – click advertising campaigns! Check out Google AdWords placement targeting campaign tips for more information on this.
