Email Marketing – Key Success Factors

3 November, 2009 (15:55) | Internet Marketing | By: RS

Here are some basic rules to properly develop an emailing and thus avoid, for advertisers to be in the box of spam messaging. Indeed, when one knows that a U.S. visitor receives about 170 spam messages per week and 70 for Europe, brands have to apply for interest not go unnoticed against the tide of “spamming.”

Here are some basic rules and key success factors:

Only send emails to Subscribers

This may sound obvious but it is tempting to think quantity rather than quality in trying to send a maximum of Internet thinking that it will generate a higher rate of initiation. If the user has not given his consent, he will not hesitate to classify the message as spam.

Avoid email addresses unused for too long

In addition, therefore, to send an email to users who have decided, check the use of email addresses before sending to avoid “surprise” the user who will not remember to be a subscriber to the mailing list. If an email address has not been sought long ago, the mail may easily be considered spam.

To give confidence to the user

Enter the name and / or email address of the sender to avoid the effect ad. This data is very essential to the opening or not email marketing message.

Unsubscribe easily

It is important not to hide the unsubscribe link and verify that it works correctly. Ideally, the unsubscribe link should be placed at the beginning of the message and not the end, as is often the case. Its placement must be visible and the churn process simple and fast (no more than two clicks). If in such cases, the advertiser does not have an automatic unsubscribe, he must ensure clean mailing campaign and should regularly respond to requests.

Do not lie about the purpose of email marketing

The purpose of email marketing should be truthful and instead of trying to deceive Internet users or attract a sentence with “pub”. Moreover, early message reminding the customer why he receives the mail would be very handy.

Set the frequency of transmission

Catch a middle ground between too much or not enough, here everything is a matter of dosage depending on the content of email message. Also, the frequency must respect what is written in the “contract” of subscription (emailing weekly, monthly, etc..).

Google Dropping the Toolbar PageRank? A Big NO

15 October, 2009 (14:31) | General Marketing | By: RS

Well not really, they can’t afford it. Google has just dropped it from Webmasters tools while it remains available on Google toolbar and is also accessible through developer API. But removal of PageRank metric from webmasters tools really shows an obvious nod from Google to remove the long standing Google PageRank. Apparently there’s been no PageRank update for nearly 5 months. So, one can sense the intentions clearly here. But there’s a different picture here, it’s not all that simple to drop an established trademark.

Idea really is to discontinue the PageRank metric for webmasters, which has continuously been regarded as lame classification of pages on basis of PageRank. As long as toolbar PageRank remains intact, it means the PageRank metric will still be available to the larger segment of PageRank viewers i.e. visitors. Over the years, visitors, too, have got used to of the PageRank and view the website with higher PR as more trustworthy and competitive. Whether be it for masses or for Google’s SERP metric, PageRank does hold some value, although value may be less but you can’t just ignore it.

If you’re thinking that PageRank will disappear from toolbar too, sometime soon. There seems no chance for that in foreseeable future for this is one of the major reasons to use Google toolbar for many of users around. Ask Safari users why would they miss Google toolbar, and the majority of the lot will end up lying somewhere near PageRank. By dropping PR, Google may also lose competitive edge to fast-approaching Bing, imagine something called BingRank?

So, removal of Google toolbar PageRank is just not possible for now, it’s been removed from webmasters tools so that webmasters don’t put more of their hopes on bettering the PageRank and less on keywords and stuff. May be Google wants them to use new AdWords tools, where keyword search trends have been merged into Keyword Suggestion tool.

10 Tips to Boost B2B Telemarketing

5 October, 2009 (07:48) | Telemarketing | By: RS

Telemarketing TipsBusiness to business telemarketing is one of the most underrated business tools available but when done properly it is one of the most effective. Intelligent telemarketing can increase new and existing business and improve market knowledge. It will put your business ahead of the competition by providing you with the opportunity to sell to people at the moment they are looking to buy.

If you are considering telemarketing as part of your marketing strategy, it is advisable to be clear about what you need to achieve. This will focus your calls and improve your results.

Here are some more general tips that might help to increase your success on the phone.


1. Listen

Probably the most important (but often least used) skill when telemarketing. People hate being talked at. If you actually listen to what they have to say you will get much more out of a call.

2. Use open questions

When? What? Where? Who? etc. Ask relevant questions to get them talking and participating in the conversation.

3. Hit the Bull’s Eye

Make sure you are actually talking to the correct person. Are they the ultimate decision maker? Ask if there is someone else they recommend you talk with.

4. Smile

It is not just what you say but how you say it. Nobody will want to buy from you if you sound miserable.

5. Prepare

Know what you want to achieve from a call and note down relevant questions that will help you. Don’t read from a script and be prepared to change your approach if it isn’t working.

6. Don’t take it personally

If a call has gone badly, the person on the other end of the phone may simply be having a bad day.

7. Set realistic targets

If you are new to telemarketing don’t immediately think you have to spend days on end cold calling potential clients. Start small and work up. 5 calls a day is still better than none.

8. Try to always get something out of a call

If the ultimate aim is to get a face to face meeting make sure you also have a secondary objective. Examples could be sending out information and getting commitment to call and follow up, or simply getting an email address.

9. Talk clearly and slowly

Be aware of how fast you are talking. If calling potential clients is a new experience you will feel out of your comfort zone. The temptation will be to speak quickly to get all the information over as fast as possible. Don’t!!. Take your time and talk clearly and confidently.

10. Don’t argue!

In this instance the potential client is always right. Remain calm and always be polite. If you are constantly coming up against a brick wall think of different ways to obtain the information you need.

Bing SEO

8 June, 2009 (05:29) | SEO | By: RS

Bing is here and there’s a buzz among the SEOs to counter the latest search engine from Microsoft and shuffle some “Bing SEO” across. The search engine looks more of a decision engine so the SEO for Bing has to be different. Considering that the Bing could be ideal and more suitable for the online shoppers looking to reach a final decision to make a purchase, SEO for Bing could actually catch up some fire on that fact. The initial analysis of the Bing showed following results as per my observations and understanding:

URLs are important

URLs are important to any search engine, but Microsoft and Yahoo tend to give an “extended” importance to the URLs. Using the search terms in URLs could give you a big bonus if you’re looking for Bing SEO.

Wikipedia gets the Love

The longstanding love affair between Google and Wikipedia is hidden to none, now the Wikipedia charm comes to Bing as well as the encyclopedia website gets top search rankings for most of generic keywords. So, all you collaborative information sharers get involved.

Categorized Results

Being a Decision Engine, Bing categorizes the search terms and tries to show the relevant results. Core categories are:

  • Shopping – Bing could be shoppers’ delight with its payback option and customized results that help shoppers decide the best product offering for themselves.
  • Health – Latest buzz around the EHR followed by the Obama’s Stimulus package seems to have caught the eye of big giants and Bing is no different.
  • Travel – Hottest of searches are for locations, fares, destinations, tickets and so on… Bing categorizes travel results with tickets, hotels and destinations.
  • Local – Where are you on the plant? Bing has featured the Google’s flagship “local” feature into the search engine, here’s the query string doing a “local”:
    • Bing.com/local/Default.aspx?what=pizza&where=Madison%20Inidana

Back links galore

Incoming links do get the value here, irrespective of the linking anchor text. However the nofollow flag is intact so better to get the link building services rather than relying on free comment spam links.

What’s missing? BingMeter!

And a toolbar! Realizing the amount of fuss the Google’s PageRank has generated, it would be great for Bing to add the link recognition BingMeter to its artillery and get the crowd weave around it. More visible features you return as a Search Engine, the more people you get involved in.

What to expect?

Although just launched, Bing has got all the due attention it (didn’t) deserve(d). It has already bypassed the Yahoo users and is expected to rise up further to secure the official number 2 spot in search engines. So the Bing SEO is next big thing one should expect and lots of SEOs are expected to join the club with specializing the SEO for Bing.
