Marketing vs Internet Marketing
When it comes to establishing and online business,
you must keep in mind that ‘real world’ marketing
principles cannot always be applied when it comes to advertising
on the internet. Therefore, if your firm has a background in ‘real
world’ marketing and branding, this doesn’t mean that
it will automatically translate into internet marketing.
From the amazing internet boom the world has
been experiencing in the last few years, it is easy to predict
that internet marketing will ultimately dominate the marketing
world and will force all other forms of marketing out of the starring
role. This, in reality, isn’t a bad thing since the internet
provides all kinds of advantages when it comes to advertising.
All one has to do is keep up with the most recent trends so that
the full potential of your firm’s marketing campaign can
be exploited.
Here are some of the potential benefits of internet
marketing:
Cutting costs - When
a company uses e-marketing instead of ‘real world’
marketing, there are significant cost savings. Just take the estimated
printing and mailing cost for sending out invitations for a conference
(i.e: newsletters, brochures, direct mail pieces, etc) and then
compare it with electronic preparation and delivery. If you send
out the invitation through email, you do not need to pay for paper,
postage, printing, or mail service. Believe it or not, the savings
a company is able to achieve by using the internet marketing option
are astonishing.
Saving time - Email is
instant. That basically says it all. The savings in time and the
ability to share information instantly automatically give the
internet marketing option a substantial advantage over ‘real
world’ marketing.
Improved communication - Even
if you are initially skeptical about it, you would be surprised
to find that the many of your clients would prefer to receive
information about your firm via email. The touchstone for internet
marketing is a notion called “permission” marketing,
which encourages firms to ask people’s permission to send
them information via e-mail. Companies, and their clients, will
benefit from asking clients what medium in
which they prefer to receive firm communications—e-mail
or traditional, print mail.
Also, internet marketing helps improve your communication
to your clients by placing hyperlinks to your own website in the
emails you send them. By clicking on these links, your potential
buyers will be able to access additional related information and
will promote communication between both parties.
Therefore, if you are interested in adopting
an internet marketing campaign, you have come to the right place.
