Northampton Marketing

I have been very busy this last few months and have finally got round to creating a dedicated website which provides help and support for the smaller business owner.

Customers always come first. So it has taken time and is not yet complete. More articles are under development, Twitter is launched and a new Facebook page is nearing completion.

The follow advert takes you to the site.

Marketing on a budget

Time and time again it seems the same old questions keep getting asked. How can a company market a website on a small budget?

Some owners decide to advertise and in the end there is very little to show for the expenditure. Using Google type ads needs skills more than most companies possess.

Realistically you are unlike to list on the first page of search results.

Faced with that, what should a company do? Assuming all the standard SEO steps have been taken, there are a number of possibilities.

Building a personal Sales Network

The big guy's do it, so can you. Affiliates has got a bad name over the years, but the core solution remains valid. A Sales Network which remains under your control and you pay only for results agreed upon.

You will already know that Amazon is great example of a company paying for results to all it's affiliates. Major airlines, all the hotel groups, software suppliers, fashion stores, the list is endless. You can join one of a number of Affiliate marketing companies but will need a realistic budget and must meet their terms and conditions. Hosted Affiliates offers a low cost method to create and own your own Affiliate Network, Check out the details, you might be surprised at how affordable it is.

Link Building

It is a well known fact, the more quality links which point to your main business website the better. It is also a fact that nobody really creates links to another site unless there is a compelling reason. So the solution is to create a number of difference websites, each with a unique message. Costs are very low and you remain in control. They are sometimes called micro landing pages.

Directory Listings

There are a number of good quality Business Directory's serving particular market sectors, or maybe a local area. In the UK a good example is the Northampton Directory which offers all the benefits of a micro landing page and currently offers a 6 month free listing.

Blogs and Forums

Another solution if time is available is to make posts to suitable Blogs, start your own Blog and become a member of suitable Forums. One of the most common is LinkedIn.

If you need help, or require somebody to take on this work for you, here is a link to a request form.

Sales are important

Every business needs a steady stream of sales to survive. In today's marketplace with millions of competitors online, and high costs of a bricks and mortar business, every new sales source is to be considered.

What is a new sale worth? Only you can decide, Maybe a fixed amount or a percentage is the easiest method, then at least you are prepared. Affiliate Marketing has been around for a long, in fact for thousands of years. It may a payment as a "thank you" for an introduction, hopefully not bribery, or as a payment to "commission only" salesperson.

Affiliate Marketing for your business

Thousands of different types of businesses can benefit from owning and managing a private Affiliate Network, and it is not expensive. Image if a thousand Websites and Blogs all started talking about your company and it's products and services, and you only pay your agent or affiliate for a sale.

Management Control

A private Affiliate Marketing Program provides individual companies with control of a new sales network with a potential to increase sales from sources that never existed before. More information on a Affiliate Marketing program that you can own.
