How Can Audience Profiling Help Reduce Marketing Costs And Improve Online ROI?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

Who is your online audience?

In most cases cusotmers say well, this is online right, so anybody can come & see my website.

Well, in this video we are going to see why audience is so crucial for defining online ROI for your business?

There are 3 ways How You Can Define Your Online Audience?
Let’s get started

1) Know Thy Business:

Treat your audience as if you are sitting right in front of customer across the table.

So if you customer is sitting across, before he makes buying decision.
Those questions need to be answered to yourself & then you’re content to be positioned in that manner. Because you would want to talk to your potential customers right?

You won’t want to talk to everyone at the street about your product. You would want to talk to customers who are going to give you time who are interested in buying from you.

Know your business, what are the questions, what are the problems. Do not optimize you online content for search engines, optimize for your customers problems & solutions that you provide to them.
Because, make no mistake your customers are looking at solutions on the web not searching for random website.

2) Purpose Of Your Audience:

Now this will vary from business to business. But you need to clearly understand, identify & established what the purpose of that audience is when he comes to your website or online presence.

  • Is he coming for information?
  • Is he coming to take some action? Or
  • Is he coming to make some transaction? May buying from your store.

That purpose will be very clearly identified, established & presented to your customer.

Because many cases I have seen retail websites, giving away too much information without the main transactional calls. On the other hand I see lot of B2B websites giving a lot of transactional CTAs without providing right information. This is going to take your customer away. As I said customers are going to come to your website for solutions to their problems.

Therefore you need to be able to position yourself, your content, messaging in such a way you & they are very clear when they come online as to what they want & what has been delivered to them.

3) Audience Demography:

This is also an important aspect, but highly overlooked. Because you may have the relevant, engaging content, but if you are not hitting the right demography they you may be losing big opportunities.

Example: Is your business geared towards interacting with CEOs or you are trying to educate mid management through your online presence or you are trying to provide information to base level executives? Is that clear? Is it clear on your website? Do you know who is going to watch that content? Have your positioned your content? If you have very basic information given out & CEOs coming out watching out your content are they going to be impressed at all? No. Or you really give out high end stuff & your audience is the base level executives looking to find information so that he can create reports to present it to his boss, even he is going to get stuck. Because the way they will interpret, deceive for the language is going to be extremely different right?

So you really need to know who is going to read that content & how they are going to interpret it towards taking business actions & business decisions. So understanding of that demography becomes so crucial.
So those were 3 ways of establishing your online audience, there are so many other factors well but I have tried to cover top 3 according to me.

Sell Product On Amazon Or Own eCommerce Website- What Is Best For Product Manufacturer?

/in , , , , , , /by

Description:
Customer Questions and Thoughts from Our Marketing & Sales Campaigns answered by Amod Inamdar.

Question:
I am a product manufacturer, should I sell my products on Amazon or build my own e-commerce website?

Answer:
So you’re saying that he’s just started OK. So, in that case, I would definitely advise to look at our video where we have talked about Sales Vs Branding. If you can share the link of that video, that would be good, because then the same principle will apply here as well OK.

Amazon will give sales, which is important as a startup, those sales numbers that are very critical. Right. But branding is going to give him the growth. And branding is going to happen through his E-commerce site. So the suggestion for him would start with Amazon build your sales but have a plan and certain milestone that he can define, go for your e-commerce site. And start promoting it. That will give the brand name.

You don’t want to remain on Amazon affiliate all your life and with Amazon, they are going so strong. They are going to the level where they are going to command. They are going to decide who stays on their platform. They are going so aggressive. So you have to always comply what their requirements are or go to yourself. And then as a business, you would want to do it yourself. So keep Amazon on your list push sales there & on the parallel definitely build your own e-commerce site, brand it so that your dependency on Amazon can be reduced. Yeah. So that approach would be advisable.

How To Build An Online Business Sustainable Long Term With Changing Technology?

/in , , , , , , , , , , , , /by

In this ever-changing online world where things changed over six months.
What approach should be taken to be able to grow the online business sustainability?

Very interesting question and to that my answer was If we takes care of these 3 aspects, we would be able to build a sustainable and stable business over the long term.
Let’s see what they are.

1. Intent:
In the online world, a billion searches are happening every day for various reasons. For example, you are an online store selling mobile phones what could be the more pertinent search for you? An iPhone history our latest iPhone X Model which is more relevant for you? The second one Right? Which means understanding the context of what that search is so important for your business.

Because if I were to optimize for iPhone history which has been searched 10K times. It’s not going to bring your business. It just going to bring me traffic where people are trying to search for the iPhone history.

You want people to buy from you, Right? Therefore, capture the intent of the keywords being typed in and then optimize your online presence for that intent. That will always deliver relevant traffic for you and relevant traffic means business.

2) Content:
Once you’ve established intent on the search. You must quickly able to position the content that addresses that specific intent. So if in the previous example: latest iPhone X model Right? The content should be positioned to show various versions of the model, colors & specifications & everything that the user wants to know when he is making that final decision. What’s more? There should be also things like giving him comparisons to other models so that he can make an informed decision and at that place itself.
If he has a query, he should be able to connect with you as well. So positioning that content is so very important. So you understand the intent then you position your content to be able to convert that relevant traffic into an engaged one.

3) Engagement & Enablement:
The part of the content was to ensure that you create your content in such a way that the user remains engaged on your website or your online presence. So there are some questions, he is talking to you, looking at videos, reviews. He is able to ask questions. It’s all engagement.

And once you’ve got him engaged you have to be able to give him the power to make those buying decisions and to be able to simplify his buying experience. So you have an e-commerce facility on your website so he can make that purchase decision. You have a facility where he can request a quote, he can compare models, and you can give him offerings of accessories along with his purchases.
All that is enablement for the customer to make that buying decision.

So if you go through this root INTENT | CONTENT | ENGAGEMENT WITH ENABLEMENT

Irrespective of whatever happens in the online world, technology will change, the competition will increase, and search engines will go up and down. But you are directly targeting the customer. If we do that then that is no harm to business your business would always remain stably sustainable. Yes, you will have to make those changes. You will have to adapt to changing new technology and environment.

But the primary focus is the customer. So if you really understand your customer, you will be able to deliver long term business for your customers and grow your online business.

I hope this blog was helpful. If you have any questions please write to us on the email is shown on your screen.

3 Key Inputs To Focus While Planning Google Ads Campaign To Yield Correct Output?

3 Key Inputs To Focus While Planning Google Ads Campaign To Yield Correct Output?

/in , , , , , /by

Hello everyone.
I keep receiving a lot of e-mails messages and interactions with customers, regarding their Google AdWords campaigns. Most of them feel that those campaigns are not yielding the right outputs for some reason and as you know these campaigns are expensive, planning those campaigns becomes extremely important. In this video, I’m going to help you with

3 key aspects of Google AdWords campaigns that you should focus on when planning campaigns.
1) Selection of Keywords
 Try to evaluate this volume vs. relevancy. In most cases campaigns are planned based on volume of searches. For .e.g. certain keywords has 10K searches, those keywords I picked up for the campaign assuming that more traffic can be reached out to. Try to compared with relevancy is the key word relevant to your business? Or is it too generic? Yeah because generic keywords could try to bring traffic which may not be relevant to your business and you would actually lose time addressing irrelevant inquiries.
Therefore Relevancy vs Volume.
The second aspect of this would be pricing vs. clicks and this is another aspect where we try to look on cost per click and then try to make the calculation based on the budget,
To define how many clicks we want to build. Don’t do that.
Well on how many clicks you want to work on the right you want to choose and then arrive at the budget working on them the other way round. That would yield more results, more relevant inquiries for your business.

2) Ad Copy
 Are you writing your copy for search engines or for the users or potential customers? I’m sure it’s the second is right. If that’s the point then why are we stuffing keywords to ad copy. Don’t need to. Ad copy you should be as natural as possible. Compare with your offline campaigns, with banners, hoardings, printed material, do you stuff keywords there? No, you directly come to your message. This same approach that you must follow when you are making an ad copy for Google Ads as well.
Google has become very smart to be able to map your content & intent to show up our ads. So don’t get stuck in the keyword-based ad copies.
Another important aspect here would be action vs. information.
Do not create information-based ad copies they won’t make sense. You want action based ad copies, you want users to take action, interact with you. Therefore generate that interest, generate that kind of enthusiasm so that visitor could be able to connect with you. Ask questions? Throw facts, surprise him. So that it will generate the interest to click and check your offering.

3) The landing page
 This by far the most important element of your Google ad campaign. Before I even started the campaign make sure your landing page is correctly indexed in Google Console, it loads fast, it is responsive, correct goals to capture the user information has been set once this is done. Then actually your campaigns should start. So the landing page is the most crucial aspect of your Google ad campaign. Here to focus should be more on interaction vs. information. You want to continue the experience of the user who’s clicking on the ad. You’ve got a great copy and the user clicks on it with anticipation go read further about your service. But if he lands on something which is a crab on which he already knows then it’s not going to have any interaction. With you. So make sure that your landing page has interaction points. The user can move around, keeps him excited. He wants to see, he wants to talk to you, ask questions. So create those points on the website and then make sure that it’s tracked & then you will see your landing page starts converting through Google AdWords.
So those were my 3 tips for your Google Ads campaign. I hope you found them useful.

Why Is Your Website Traffic Not Converting Into Sales For Your Business?

Why Is Your Website Traffic Not Converting Into Sales For Your Business?

/in , , , , , , , , /by

Hello everyone.
In this video, let’s find 3 Reasons why website traffic not converting into sales and could be the probable reasons?
Let’s get started.

1) Relevancy of Traffic Over Volume Of Traffic
You may be having a lot of traffic coming site. But it may not be relevant for your business. Now by relevancy, I don’t mean that people are not searching for the correct phrase or search term. Let’s take an e.g.: You are a B2B manufacturer of air conditioning systems. So you are only supplying air conditioners to other industries where the requirements are huge. However, your website gets optimized for the term ‘air conditioner’ because probably you build a website around that word. So you start getting traffic, for household customers who want to buy one ton or one and a half ton air conditioners.

Is that your relevant audience?
Is that going to add business value to you?
Are you able to serve those type of customers?
You will see that even though the searches are relevant, it is not going to yield into business value for you. Hence the traffic was generated but did not add any business value to you. Hence RELEVANCY. This is where the relevancy factor is so important.

To be able to address, you need to understand, define your audience in the correct manner upfront when planning for your online and then build your content, build websites, social presence in such a way, that you are targeting only relevant customers.
So the volume of traffic is not the critical part. The relevancy of the traffic and relevancy for your business, not relevancy for the search presence. Please note that now.

2)Relevant Traffic Is There, but It’s Not Engaged
You would be getting good traffic, it may be relevant for that but this as well. It’s not getting engaged. Now continuing with the same example: with the B2B air conditioner manufacturer.

If you get traffic from other B2B companies or industries for the air conditioning requirements, but when they land on your website all they see is some brochure or some technical specifications of the air conditioners or some pricing points. Probably does not generate that kind of trust in them.

Because there are 20 people or competitors like you who are giving them the same information. So what is your USP? Where do you stand out? What are the features? What are the factors that make you stand out from them? Why they should come to you? Why they should deal with you? Why they should really connect with you? Ask questions.

So that’s where we have to build our website’s content in such a way that it’s not just getting that relevant traffic, it engages them in the right way, keeps them connected. Once they look at the website they want to talk to you.They want to connect with you, ask you questions. So you want to create those avenues for them. So that they remain engaged. They want to come back to you again and again. So engaging your relevant customer is your next step in improving your conversions.

3)Enable Customers
 The most important aspect now is once the customer is engaged you ENABLE him to make that purchase or enable him to convert. Now how is it possible in the B2B scenario?

Is once he’s engaged and he’s connected you must be able to create a contact with him time and again and could for emailers/WhatsUp campaigns, it could be through actual physical visits, with calls and all this has to be in terms of improving on the previous experience, improving on the previous interaction. So that his questions and answered, his queries are resolved, all his specific issues, technical requirements are handled.
Using that OMNI channel approach, in which you are constantly giving him a consistent and connected experience to your user so that it creates an impression that he is talking to the right business, he is interacting with the right person and that’s when the sale is going to happen. That’s when the business is going to happen.

let’s summarize the cycle:
Traffic Coming On Website= To ensure its relevant traffic and relevant for your business = With Relevant Traffic Want To Engage Them = Relevant Traffic Want To Talk To You =Once Engaged Create An experience, Showcase your skill, knowledge and your experience with them = To enable them to make them buying decision.
This is how you convert traffic into sales Online.

3 Ways To Maintain Customer Connect And Long Term Biz Relationships?

/in , , , , , /by

Hello everyone.

In an ever changing complex business scenario, where it’s becoming increasingly difficult to retain customers. Here are three ways you can maintain customer connect and enjoy long term relationships for your business.

No 1: The E-mail Trail

Make sure your customers sign up to your emailers and newsletters. This is the easiest way to maintain customer connect. Keep sending the information, industry news, ideas innovations, your new product or service launches and even offerings. So that constant connect constant engagement remains in the minds of the customer. And when he is ready he is ready to connect you to do business.

No 2: The Online Trail

Social media is it’s so easy to follow what your customers are doing. What seminars they attending or hobbies they have or interests they follow users because it would be easy to track. What they are doing and if there’s interest or a hobby or any subject that is complementary. You can really connect with them and share your ideas share tasks and that can boost and create a very good customer connect. And lead to more opportunities isn’t it. So keep your eye on the social media for the right reasons.

No 3: The Personal Trail

Try and create a connect with your customer as a person. Look beyond contracts look beyond transactions look beyond business. Try and collaborate with him as a person. Try to understand his values his vision and what he wants to achieve as a business and as a person. See there are complementary strengths see there are supplementary strengths where you can really collaborate and create new ideas. Isn’t that powerful. So never ever miss out on any personal connect with your customer. Any company any kind of a leak. So those are my three methods of creating great customer connect and improving your business relationships. What are yours?

Please share your thoughts or if you have any questions please write to us on the e-mail shown on your screen. And we can get talking. Until then bye.

3 Reasons Why B2B Sales Happen? Know the three Ps …

/in , , , , , /by

Hi Everyone!

As a B2B marketer. We get all the three P’s right.

We have a great PRODUCT, our PRICE it very competitively and our PROMOTION is very excellent.

But we still struggle to make those sales breakthroughs right and the reason is we miss out on the fourth very important P, which drives B2B sales and that is PAIN.

So in today’s video, we are going to see three reasons why B2B Sales happen. And surprise, they are three Ps again. Let’s take a look.

P number one is: Existing PROVIDER issues.

Most B2B sales happen, when businesses have issues with existing providers, they are not happy overall. Their service may not be Ok, their communication may not be Okay, they may have integrity issues or they must not have love the service. This leads to businesses taking call on finding new partners or new providers. This could be your opportunity to establish where their issues in businesses in terms of existing providers are serving. That could be your gateway into that business.

P number two is: PATCHED solutions.

Most B2B businesses are very comfortable using their existing systems. So they are kind of averse to technology upgrades or new innovations coming to the market. However if you have learning to build solutions that patch with their existing systems. Then they will be more than happy to look at your product or service. If it’s an add-on to an existing system. It will be easy for them to learn and use it better. This could be your opportunity.

P number three is: PIECEMEAL solutions.

This is another area where business is really bored the fact that they have managed so many providers one for software one for the online one for hardware, one for logistics. It becomes too much for them. So if you can actually look out for an area in that business where you can provide a complete turnkey solution or a one stop approach that could become your opportunity.

Businesses would love to hear such solutions that they have managed only one provider which takes care of the entire problem as you see is three Ps are the key drivers and therefore as a B2B marketer you must really focus on them to drive B2B sales for your business.

I hope this video was useful. In the upcoming videos, we are also going to see how we grow businesses to generate B2B inquiries.

The Enigma of “Irrelevant Leads”​

/in , /by

Online Marketers and Online Business people will relate to this title closely. Almost all of us have received phone calls, emails or messages requesting information on our service/product that don’t match our offerings, value proposition (pricing included) or business vision. Right?

Try to relate with some of these situations:

a. “Nothing to do with our product, lost 25 min trying to explain our product to him only to find out he was seeking something completely different :(”

b. “Totally generic talk – he would/could not understand that I work on specialty products but kept harping on his general needs. Didn’t help him or me either…Had to cut the conversation short …”

c. “I receive at least 10 email inquiries everyday in my mailbox that has nothing to do with my business offerings. I have to respond to them politely indicating looking for other options but leads to loss of my/my team’s time and energy. I spend more energy writing to such emails rather than to genuine inquiries.”

In our online marketing business at ZoomYourTraffic.com, we have experienced lead enquiries like these in the past –

·       “Develop my website in WordPress with SEO”

·       “Need to generate business from website inside 60 days”

·       “I have an annual budget of 50K. I need to generate business through my website.”

·       “SEO my website for #1 Google Ranking”

·       “Start Social Posting for my online business to build traffic and sales”

At a glance, these enquiries look absolutely relevant and objective driven.

With experience – we mark such requests as either “Irrelevant” or “Level 2 Exploration Needed” (Will explain this later in the article).

The question is what would you give, if we could address requirements and inquiries from prospective customers that:

A.  Matched your product/service offering to the Tee – so that all you needed to explain/present your VALUE PROPOSITION to enable to a buying decision?

B.  Don’t match the exact need but are ready to hear about SOLUTIONS TO UPGRADE/UPSCALE their systems with your offerings

C.  Looking to EXPLORE opportunities for growth through my business without PRICING being the only decision factor

Life would be better right! Then, what stops it? What hampers businesses from receiving irrelevant calls/leads to targeted ones?

Three important aspects:

AUDIENCE DEFINITION
VALUE PROPOSITION
FOCUS or INTENT IDENTIFICATION
AUDIENCE DEFINITION

Most businesses start their online journey to “be seen by everyone”.

Be visible and business will follow – is the simple mantra. Fair enough.

This in itself is starting on the wrong foot.

If you build your visibility for the mass, the mass will come.

What follows is “irrelevance…”

People from all walks have different requirements, perspectives, value ideas and spending power.

e.g. If you are selling “cell phone back covers for feature phones” on your website – who would be your potential buyers?

Vis a vis .. if you are selling “iphone back covers” on your website – who would be your potential buyers?

Conceptually, the product is same, offering is similar and delivery ecosystem is the same. What is the difference?

THE AUDIENCE … the buyer !!

I can’t promote my feature phone website to an iPhone audience and vice versa.

The dynamics change. The thinking changes. The buying changes. The game changes ….

Getting your audience definition right, is therefore the key.

Invest time in profiling the right audience for your online business.

Reach out to the right people if you intend to avoid irrelevant questions, queries and hence leads.

It will save you a ton of time, effort and increase business bottom-line in the long term.

VALUE PROPOSITION

You have a super product (e.g. a cutting edge 3d printer) to sell.

Needless to say – it will have quality, durability and high price point.

All these are values – and yes – this needs to be visible to the customer/potential buyer.

Unless you show this VALUE to the customer – he will not “value” your effort of developing that product.

Why is iPhone an icon? – not because it’s the best smartphone ever but it has presented its value the best amongst its peers.

Why is Lamborghini everyone’s dream? – not because it has the best engine or performance – but because its value has been presented in such a way that every one yearns to own one (LOL … did you check its latest Huracan model priced at $320,000=00? … No wonder it’s called a DREAM car! but you want to own it right? VALUE PROPOSITION for you).

The idea here is to not sell dreams, but give your customers the true picture of what they stand to gain using your product.

Leave scope for their imagination when using your product. Do they feel stylish and uber cool OR feel embarrassed?

Why do some products feel just awesome for customers (e.g. personal items like Ray Ban shades, Nike shoes, Levis denims that makes a person feel special or aspire to have in his/her wardrobe). There are a ton of other labels selling these same items and probably are better on quality, durability and price point but the ASPIRATION value takes over the customer to long for specific brands.

So, create VALUEs (beyond the obvious) that people will want to own your product. Not just that – they will tell others to buy it too. Your customers become your marketing team.

Ultimate BRANDING is all about your VALUE PROPOSITION.

Do it the right way and you are well on your way to hit the right audience and growing sales.

INTENT IDENTIFICATION

All said and done, “WHY” remains the biggest question when a prospective buyer looks at your business proposition.

You could meet up with the right AUDIENCE, deliver the right VALUE PROPOSITION and the customer may fit both aspects perfectly, but does he/she have the INTENT to buy? Or just research and buy later? Or just surf around?

Establishing user intent is probably the biggest success or failure of business that make it big or implode.

E.g. A user logs onto your website with an intent to just browse about the products and not make any immediate purchase.

How would you establish this intent?

Place two buttons below the product namely “Tell me more” and “Buy Now”

If he clicks “Tell me more” – you have established his intent of browsing through the product information before buying.

On the subsequent page you can have calls to action like – “Connect For More Information” (to establish if he is really interested in knowing the product further? Since he will be sharing his details to do so) or “Buy Now” (to establish he is happy with the information and ready to make a purchase) or He doesn’t click anything and moves away from that page (to establish that either he is not interested to continue further – a look at Google Analytics data of your website will help establish this behavior)

Every action of the user is telling a story of his thought process.

Your goal is to join the dots and establish his intent of visiting your website.

If the dots are correctly joined … you will have indeed completed the customer journey !!!
