Build a Better Online Mousetrap and They Will Not Only Come, but BUY! - Article by: Bob Speyer, Web Success Team LLC.

My Good Friend and Colleague Bob Speyer, President of the Web Success Team LLC. has written this terrific MUST READ Direct Response Marketing article - as seen on BestSyndication.com...

Build a Better Online Mousetrap and They Will Not Only Come, but BUY!

What is Direct Response and why is it so effective?
It is easy to “get lost” on the Internet. Trying to build the better mousetrap online, cheese and all, and not attract the “mouse” is a waste of time and resources. The key to web success is to get measureable results. That’s where the power of Direct Response web development and marketing can help.

Since prospective customers and clients are one click away from the competition, an effective website needs to persuade them to stay and take action. Direct response websites focus on a defined target audience, create the intended mood from the start, and result in accomplishing at least one of three things: obtain a sale, schedule an appointment or collect a name and email address to be used for future outreach and sales opportunities.

With the right direct response website design and techniques, it is easy to turn visitors into buyers and change the way people think about the products and services offered. The interactive techniques used will humanize a website, drive traffic, collect valuable marketing information and generate sales and leads.

The Internet is the most economic and effective way for businesses to communicate. It is important to have a website that works productively! A smart, interactive direct response website positions one ahead of the competition. Prospective customers will have a higher level of confidence because the website focuses on them and their needs, clearly identifies the products or services promoted, and offers the right solution. And they will be willing to pay for it.

11 Proven WEB SUCCESS TEAM Direct Response techniques that will increase visitor viewing time and get more productivity from a website.

1. First Impression — The look and feel of a landing or home page should be immediately digestible in less than 5 seconds. Imagine leafing through a newspaper and an attractive ad or headline catches you eye. Why? Because it grabs your attention and you can relate to its content.

2. Seek the Balance — The landing page should look designed, not over designed. This may be a matter of “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder,” but there has to be substance, not just beauty marks. For example, flash or music elements can enhance, but also annoy. Remember most viewers want to roll up their sleeves and “window-web shop.” They are looking for something. The question is whether it is “your something!”

3. It Speaks! — “Silence is not always golden.” A website with an audio message that is carefully crafted will give your site added personality, engage the viewer and give them more information in that precious 5 seconds of decision time — whether to stay or vamoose. They can even walk away from the screen and still listen to your site!

4. Fresh Is Good — “Today’s news is tomorrow’s fish wrap.” Make certain your content is relevant, concise, crisp. No bloviating. Use sharp headlines, sprinkle in informative sub-headlines that orient the reader and lead them into the text, and use a smattering of graphics or photos to reinforce the image.

5. Break the Mold — Celebrate your differences. What is it that makes you unique from the competition. Your viewers should know up front they came to the right place. Give them a feeling they haven’t experienced before. An out-of-the- box solution. But don’t get too far from the core. Remember Clinton’s move to the center to capture more winning votes! Unless of course your products or services demand an “off-the-wall” solution.

6. Something for Nothing — You should offer a viewer a caveat for just visiting your site (such as a downloadable report, free offer, etc.). And by the way, while you’re giving it away, capture their name and email for further marketing outreach. We call it in direct response web marketing lingo, an op-in. I always like downloadable pdfs, branded with your contact information. That way your branding is on their desktop and they can refer to the article or content, revisit your site, or contact you. You remain a top-of-mind presence on their computer.

7. It’s Not about YOU — Well it ultimately is, but in this web technique, your viewer wants to see “what’s in it for them.” So it is important to address their needs and concerns, to be the solution to their problem. If you make them feel like they can relate to your site, you are half way to a sale or call.

8. Going Somewhere? — Remember, the idea is to engage the viewer and keep them navigating through your site. The navigation should be logical and easy to maneuver. Some nav bar headings should be creative, not just the simple who, what, where and when. For example, instead of putting a special offer only in the body, put a nav that says Limited Time Offer and in a different color to attract their attention.

9. Two Way Traffic — Communication is a two-way street. Give the viewer ample opportunity to communicate with you. Not just “Contact Us.” Rather develop an ASK page that asks them to tell you their biggest single question about… (what ever it is they need answering) or an online survey. You capture their name and email in the process and can email a response to their question or result of their survey. This also helps you build your email list and develop a relationship with that list.

10. Your Alter Ego — The use of testimonials is important for credibility. Call them rave reviews. It gives the viewer some recognition that people are satisfied with your products and services. Use of audio to accompany the written testimonials is also a novel way to present them.

11. The First Step — It is never too late to implement effective direct response web marketing techniques. As in the old Chinese proverb, “The longest journey begins with the first step.” The beauty of the web and web marketing is that it is a fluid environment. See what’s working for your site, revise it, hone it and improve it. Be clear, talk straight and test and track.

Direct Response Marketing to Hispanics Offline and Online!

Why Hispanic Direct Response Marketing Works...
The process of acculturation influences the Hispanic consumer’s perception of direct marketing. While most consumers in the general market dismiss direct marketing materials as junk mail, Latinos — particularly recent immigrants — welcome it as a means of becoming a more informed.
Overall, Hispanic households are 3.5 times more likely to respond to a direct mail solicitation than a non-Hispanic household; 72% say they always read their mail, including direct marketing; 60% of the direct mail sent to homes is in English; 52% of the respondents speak only Spanish in their homes.

Marketing to Hispanics Online…
Like never before, online information is influencing major purchase decisions among Hispanics. Over 60 percent of online Hispanics consider the internet the best information source for making their final brand decisions.

Research has shown that almost half of the adult Hispanic population has internet access at home (44 percent), and nearly 60 percent have access from any location.

Most importantly, half of Hispanics with internet access at home are on broadband. As Hispanics become more accustomed to using the web, they are beginning to carve out their own unique path in search of an online community that reflects their unique lifestyle, issues and culture.

Young people 24 and under represent 35% of all Hispanic online users. While their online activities resemble those of the general youth market, they have unique characteristics. Their culture, heritage and language define their online behavior and how they respond to marketing messages.

I found this information to be very useful I hope you do too!

3 Membership/Subscription Website Success Tips

What should you consider when starting a paid membership/subscription website?

The answers are NOT always so EASY, even to a professional print or electronic publisher. The sources used to generate membership website subscriptions are very different from those used to generate print subscriptions...


1.)
Research Your Target Market...
Target to a specific group of interests who share very specific information needs, and are willing to pay a premium price for that information monthly and or annually. Do your research to find out what type of information people are willing to pay for.

2.) Prepare a Detailed Membership Website Content Plan...

Outline your content in as much detail as possible and make sure you have enough content to publish new information ongoing. You want to publish information that is hard to find and or in demand.

3.) Prepare A Detailed Competitive Market Analysis.
Search for competitive sites, request sample copies or purchase competitive publications, request media kits (which often contain tons of information about the market) and understand advertising and subscription pricing policies for your competition. This can help you to determine price points for your own membership fee with little effort.

An Article About Quality Web Content - By Robin Nobles

I am recommending this article for you to check out:

25 Ways to Add Quality Content to Your Web Site....
By Robin Nobles - July 05, 2006

We've known for a long time that quality matters to Google. In a post Senior Google Engineer Matt Cutts made to his blog, "quality" was mentioned several times as being important to Google. Quality matters when it comes to content, and it matters when it comes to links.

However, building content and links doesn't have to be painful. Web site owners tend to think of content in a very limited way.

So, let's open up our creative minds and think of all sorts of ways of adding quality content to a Web site.

A few things to remember:

  • You're only confined by the boundaries you set for yourself and your Web site. Allow yourself to think in a totally different way than you've thought before.

  • Your Web site content should be written for your buying customers . . . not for you. Your Web site content should not be written for the search engines. The search engines are not your target audience.

  • Think of the overall picture of your site, as if it were a living, breathing entity. After all, Web sites should continue to grow on a constant basis and never be stale or stagnant.

    Have You Seen Google's ALL New SEO Tool, Google Trends?

    Here is a fun New SEO Tool from Google! I have been using it in beta version and having fun watching the niche trends I'm interested in. I recommend you do the same.

    Learn About Google Trends

    With Google Trends, you can compare the world's interest in your favorite topics.

    Enter up to five topics and see how often they've been searched for on Google over time. Google Trends also displays how frequently your topics have appeared in Google News stories, and which geographic regions have searched for them most often.

    So How does Google Trends work?

    Google Trends analyzes a portion of googol web searches to compute how many searches have been done for the terms you enter relative to the total number of searches done on Google over time. We then show you a graph with the results -- our search-volume graph -- plotted on a linear scale.

    Located just beneath our search-volume graph is our news-reference-volume graph. This graph shows you the number of times your topic appeared in Google News stories. When Google Trends detects a spike in the volume of news stories for a particular term, it labels the graph and displays the headline of an automatically selected Google News story written near the time of that spike. Currently, only English-language headlines are displayed, but we hope to support non-English headlines in the future.

    Below the search and news volume graphs, Google Trends displays the top cities, regions, and languages for the first term you entered. Learn more today at: www.google.com/trends.

    Let me know what you think?
    Enjoy!

    2005 was another banner year for the Internet retailing industry with merchants across the board achieving significantly higher sales, average tickets, conversion rates and traffic.
    by Mark Brohan


    Internet retailing has seen a decade of extraordinary growth. What’s more, during the past 10 years the web consistently has outperformed many multi-channel retailers’ store and catalog sales channels. Regardless, many retailers and industry analysts expected a softer year in 2005. After all, national economic indicators suggested shakier consumer confidence due to higher energy prices, a cutback in consumer spending brought about by a cooling housing market and overarching worries over the sporadic economy.

    What "It" Is eBay Wants


    Acrobats and an Elvis impersonator warmed up the eBay crowd at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino Thursday for the Baby Boomer-era rock concert by Huey Lewis & the News. The gala dinner concert was a fitting end to the fifth-annual "eBay Live" convention aimed mostly at people who sell on the sprawling online marketplace.

    At its convention, eBay chief executive Meg Whitman announced the site had registered its 200 millionth user. And though growth is slowing, trade on eBay is vast and getting bigger every day--more than $44 billion worth of goods changed hands on the site last year. That would make it the world's 11th-largest retailer if eBay actually owned the inventory instead of merely charging sales fees, said Whitman.

    While eBay is best known for its auction format, more than a third of its sales volume now occurs in fixed-price format. And that is likely to expand even more, thanks to the new "eBay Express" site focused on new merchandise sold at fixed prices, which eBay officially launched this week after two months of testing. EBay said it would launch a major national ad campaign touting eBay Express this fall, along with the "it" theme (people can find whatever "it" is they want on eBay) introduced in commercials last year.

    Looks like next years eBay Live 2007 conference will in held Boston MA.
