Using Internet Marketing Software To Generate Leads

All businesses want a unique way to find more customers. In order to reach the broadest audience possible, every home based business should take advantage of all the Internet has to offer. Smart entrepreneurs and other website owners can use Internet marketing software to attract new leads, convert more shoppers and keep customers coming back for more. Every web visitor seeks an online environment that is friendly, social, informative and easy to use. There are a multitude of digital tools to enhance your website so that visitors will stay longer and ultimately opt in. These would include interactive contests, trivia games, sweepstakes and customer polls. This kind of marketing software has the power to generate new leads and reengage old customers.

Using Contests to Generate New Leads

An online raffle contest or sweepstakes can provide just the right platform to draw the attention of online shoppers, particularly when the prize is desirable. Take care to choose a valuable prize that can highlight your services or products. If you cannot offer a physical prize that can be shipped, offer a gift certificate.

Build up your promotion by forming a bond with other like minded merchants and offer a number of gifts for your grand prize. A group effort can promote cross-merchandising among related merchant stores and it is the perfect vehicle for generating new leads, not to mention some excellent backlink love and fresh new content for search engines to digest.

Using Trivia Games to Generate New Leads

Internet marketing software makes it possible to initiate a trivia game or customer poll right on your website. Most people can't resist a chance to test their memory or give their opinion. Requiring an email address to participate in an online poll is a common practice and won't deter participation in the least.

Try to assemble a series of multiple choice questions that will get customers thinking about your products in the best ways possible, and track their responses so you can better appeal to shoppers in the future.

Tips:

- Be sure to advertise your customer poll or trivia contest with a home page banner and its own web pages.

- To attract more valuable leads offer a discount coupon for anyone who participates.

- Request that participants share your contest or game with their friends and fans on social media. Just one more way you can use Internet marketing software to generate leads.

Re: Kevin's Case Study #11 - A New Forum Category? - Hi Kevin, Like GT suggested, I also think you can add Internet Marketing as a sub category in the Marketing section and also a Social marketing as subcategory. Online marketing/internet marketing/online promotion are the same, and it will be best to use the common term - Internet marketing. I can't think about someone to moderate a Social Marketing category. We all use it, we all know how to make it work and we all have our own different experience with it.
Internet Marketing Conference on SLife - I've been trying to log in but it keeps crashing.. anyways.. a friend of mine in BC plans on holding Internet Marketing Conferences on SecondLife and have the same top internet marketers that would normally be in Live Internet Marketing conference speak. Income will be generated from admission charges, product sales during breaks, sponsor tables, etc etc.. Just to get the ideas flowing in your head that anything you can do in the real world can be replicated in SL. There is no planned date as of yet for this conference.
Re: Hi from a Manhattan coach - Hi Julie, Welcome to the forum, it's great to have you here and thank you for telling us a little about yourself. You sound like a very enthusiastic person who likes what she does and in Internet Marketing that is very important and you also sound like a 'people person' which is great. Internet Marketing is time consuming and challenging but can also be extremely rewarding and hopefully profitable. I don't know how many forums you have signed up to but this is one of the best. The support and guidance you get here is what makes it the success that it is but as I am sure you know from looking at the side bar that there are many aspects of business that are catered for here which will help you along the way, best wishes, Mal.
Re: How many mambers of this forum are also member of WF? - Hi Kevin, I have to agree with Tanny. All forums are unique in their own way, but doesn't mean that one is better than the other. What you might get out of one forum, you may not get from another. For instance, the WF focuses on Internet Marketing, while this forum focuses on Entrepreneurship. Each has their own set of benefits. I don't think you can really compare one to the other, unless of course they focused on the same topic. I have learned a lot from this forum, stuff I would never have gotten from the WF. With that being said, I've learned a lot from the WF, specifically since I need to know about Internet Marketing and running an online business. The addition of the Online Business forum here will help, and Jeff is doing a great job as moderator.
