Marketing Concepts That Make A Difference
Good Experiences -
What people really buy are experiences, hopefully positive ones. Whether it's soft ice cream or a
lodging reservation, what people are paying for is the experience your product or service provides.
Does your Web site offer an enjoyable experience? Does it explain the experience your product or service delivers? If it doesn't, then you really haven't got anything anybody wants.
Thanks For the Memories
-
Our here and now and our plans for the future are based on our experiences, our histories, and our memories.
We take pictures of our kids, holidays, and special events; we commemorate birthdays, anniversaries, promotions, and milestones of all kinds. Even the significance of our prized possessions is centered on the fact that those mere objects represent memories of the people, places, and events that shaped our lives.
Real marketing, the kind that creates long-term clients and customer relationships, is not about coupons, sale promotions, or deep discounts; it's about delivering memories.
Keep Them On Your Site -
It's not about how many hits you get on your Web site, it's about how long people stay. If visitors remain on your site long enough to get your marketing message then you must have said something worth listening to, and if visitors get the message, your site has done its job.
If your Web site delivers the message, then you can expect the e-mail inquiries and phone calls to start flowing, but it's still up to you to close the sale
or get them to commit to a reservation: people close sales not Web
sites.
Site Personality
-
Does your Web site just lie there with no personality, just more of the same tedious, dull, dreary, mind-numbing, tiresome, lackluster, monotonous, stuff everybody else has? Boring!
Don't worry about hits, put something on your site worth seeing or hearing
about.
Jott™ -
Free Service
I've found (and fallen in love with) a
new service that I'm using more and more each day. I remember lots of
things when I'm away from my computer and only have my cell phone. Oh,
ya, I could leave myself a message on my cell phone, but then I'd have
to remember to play it back when I got to the office.

messages—anytime, anywhere, with any cell phone. Jott™ makes you more
productive and efficient by capturing your ideas, notes to self,
