How To Grow Your Email List & Boost Business

Posted by Modern Maze

Boost Business-Grow Your List!

Contests are a great way to get involved with your client base and Halloween is one easy topic.

Having people submit their entries and include their phone, address, and email now gives you license to reach out and contact them when they win (or even if they DON’T win) the contest.

Every contestant can be a winner (or runner -up) and be required to visit you again to redeem the prize.

By developing more ways to get your existing customers back through your doors more often, you will build a continuingly more valuable business.

Is Coupon Marketing Right For Your Business?

Posted by Modern Maze

I just got finished watching an absurd video message about how marketing a retail business with coupons is a mistake. I say this is absurd for a number of reasons.

I could argue for the intelligent use of online coupon marketing all day. Just look at all the effort and money companies like Duncan Donuts, Papa Johns, Express, Macy’s and even Coach handbags invest in coupon marketing. 

I find it comical that these Mickey-Mouse marketing firms try to carve a niche by denouncing a tried and true method of marketing which has not only stood the test of time, but is growing exponentially. 

The great recession combined with the great internet and social media expansion has fueled the online coupon method of marketing and THIS marketing expert says the trend will continue for a generation….at least.

Daily-Deal customers are often “deal hoppers” and seldom become loyal patrons. A continuing coupon strategy on moderncoupon.com will help lower the “buying barrier” in order to get these deal-seekers back for more.

When a customers redeems a daily deal voucher, you or your staff should simply thank them for their business and let them know they engage your online coupons any time. Presumably, these new clients were satisfied with your product or service. So you don’t want them waiting around for your next daily-deal offer. You want them back soon! But THEY still want a deal. So give them access to your online coupons on moderncoupon.com. There, they’re not going to find big fat 50% off discounts but they WILL find modest, money-saving coupons which will lower the buying barrier and get them to patronize you again. But this time, YOU get to make some profit AND further build your relationship with the customer.

A coupon campaign on moderncoupon.com is a full-year deal for only pennies a day.

You get a full web page showcasing your business, unlimited coupons and social media tools built right in.  

Not everybody uses coupons, but LOTS of people do. Millions of people search for online coupons before they make a decision to buy. When your business is on the moderncoupon directory of local businesses with coupons, you’re going to show up in more Google searches.

It should only take a few new customers to cover your online marketing expense. 

Search Engine Optimization For Local Small Businesses: The Internet Gravity Wheel

Posted by Modern Maze

I created Internet Gravity Wheel (sm) as a way to visualize a concept of a local business online marketing system. A method of search engine optimization.

The term, “internet gravity” refers to the way a local business “attracts” the attention of search engines.

The web is very friendly to local business today but only a fraction of businesses are proactive in “working” this awesome tool.

Google is by far the #1 search tool on the web and its claim to fame is that it reports the best, most relevant search results of any other search tool. But it doesn’t work alone nor is it the only search engine people use. True, Google does harvest immense amounts of online data on its own but part of its unique way of determining high relevance in searches is from where it gathers the information. That’s where the Internet Gravity Wheel comes in.

A company’s website is just the tip if the iceberg when it comes to a presence online. Not to diminish its importance, but there are other significant places around the web that draws much more visitor traffic that a typical stand-alone small business website.

Having content all around the web pointing back to your business and your website is what Internet Gravity Wheel is all about. What I mean by that is a presence and optimized profile on directories and citation sites.

Online directories and citation sites are abundant. Many of them are free and your business is very likely already listed on many of them. But you can make your business stand out by “claiming” your listing on these directories as the business owner. 

“Claiming” your profile on these directory listings usually permits you to upload photos of your choice, your logo, a link to your website, and to describe your business the way YOU want to. Many times, the information in these directories is inaccurate and inaccurate information can not only confuse prospective customers but can also confuse the search engine robots which pull information about your business and reduce your rankings because of the conflicting information.

You can also find relevant directories your business could or should be listed in and upload your business information. Many of these are free and have upgrades available which offer extra marketing for more exposure.

Some online directories are fee-based, like moderncoupon.com which offers a full web page to showcase your business with pictures, unlimited business descriptive detail, video and engages your prospective customer with unlimited coupon offers. 

moderncoupon.com gets high search engine rankings because it combines relevance of content: local business information and coupons. 

Whatever your business, it’s wise to find as many free directories to be in as possible. It’s also advisable to find one or 2 fee-based directories to test.

Businesses owners can do this work themselves. However, it IS time consuming. Turning this project over to us is a good idea because we can do it better, faster and cheaper than you can do it yourself.
