Internet Marketing Process
Website Design
Website design is the first crucial phase in the Internet marketing process. A website can be compared to a salesman. If he is well-dressed, eloquent, confident and knowledgeable, he immediately creates a positive image of the company he represents and the products/services on offer. A website needs to accomplish the same effect through images and words. Design and copywriting are crucial elements for a website in order to build confidence and create an air of professionalism.
Website Usability
An attractive website is important for Internet marketing, but so too is having a website that is easy to use. Design and website usability are not mutually exclusive. Visitors to a website need to be able to find the products or services they are seeking with ease. A beautiful website which is hard to navigate will result in visitors leaving the site out of frustration. It is essential that a balance between design and usability be achieved in order to create an attractive and user-friendly website that maximises customer acquisition.
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO)
Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) is the name given to the activity of improving a website's search engine rankings. Search engines are usually the first port of call for Internet users looking for specific products, services or information. When a user performs a search, a results page is displayed containing links to websites relevant to that particular search term. The results are ordered from most relevant to least relevant. Optimising a website ensures that it ranks as high as possible on these search engine result pages, thus providing maximum exposure and an essential source of visitors and customers.
Pay-Per-Click (PPC)
Pay-per-Click (PPC) advertising, as the name suggests, is a form of advertising where the advertiser pays every time someone clicks through to his/her website from some form of online advertising. PPC advertising is available on websites and search engines. The latter is proving to be highly successful as it provides an extremely good return on investment. Currently PPC advertising is the biggest and most effective form of paid-for advertising on the Internet.
Affiliate Marketing
Affiliate marketing involves allowing the general public or select individuals to market services/products for a company. Affiliates are usually rewarded with a commission for sales generated by them. Affiliate marketing allows companies to pre-define advertising costs and ensure that the advertising budget is never exceeded.
Email Marketing
Email marketing's strength lies in its ability to retain existing customers/clients and up-sell to them. A database of clients/customers and prospective clients/customers is built from information gathered on the website. This information is used to send emails notifying them of new offers, special deals and information, thereby encouraging them to revisit the website and make more purchases.
These key phases form a cohesive whole which provides maximum effectiveness for an Internet marketing endeavour. WebPhase can help you with any one or all of these Internet marketing phases.
