Make your campaign personal and increase your revenue

Studies show that personalized campaigns bring better results. This is not new but most companies still ignore this fact.

Sure it is more effective to speak to a buyer persona more personally than to fire a “one size fits all marketing message” in the hope one bullet will hit the target.

When you talk to your leads than you have to talk to them personally if you want to make a deal, right? You do your conversation in a friendly personal way. So why not start with this kind of friendly and personal way when doing your lead generation campaigns?

My answer is this depends on you and how interested you are to work smarter not harder.

As you can imagine it is not an easy task to manage all the inbound marketing activities which include:

•  SEO

•  Blogging

•  Social Media

•  Landing Pages

•  Lead Generation

•  Analytics

…with different tools!

For a business it can become overwhelming to do so and to control all those tasks as well. But to do exactly this is essential for your inbound marketing success and to increase your revenue!

So why not do all of these tasks the smart way instead of the hard way?

Technology is there to help you to achieve your revenue goals, and there is technology which can tremendously improve your results and save you a lot of time and a truckload of money by increasing your revenue at the same time.

We have put together a report to show you how such a technology can help your business.

STOP your sales pitches through email NOW

When you are blogging and are engaged in doing social media and some more remarkable activities on the internet to build awareness with your target audience than you are on a great way to success.

But when you fail in the last and most important part of your marketing, the lead generation than you your work, time and money are wasted!

I often hear and read, to be successful you need to blog, you need to do social media, and you need to write an eBook or whitepaper. You need to do this and you need to do that.

Ok, you have done all of this, but you still do not get the amount of leads, or any lead you need to make sales and revenue. What’s’ wrong?

Until the point of content creation and content distribution everything went fine in your work. But you forgot some important thing at the end!

You should lead your target audience to a dedicated landing page where they can register. To a landing page which is not made for “all of your customers” but for this one special buyer personas.

And I hope you have indentified your target audience, the different persons who buy from you, your buyer personas?!

Now they hopefully register for your valuable eBook, whitepaper or newsletter, and what’s next?

Yeah, you send them sales pitches, discount coupons, and so on! WRONG!

If you want to convert your leads to paying customers, you should strictly avoid pitching them through email! Otherwise your unsubscribe ratio could climb dramatically.

Don’t bother your leads with this kind of stuff? Change it NOW!

Improve your lead generation and lead nurturing process, to switch from “buy now and save 50%” to some kind of more valuable and share worthy content. Use the same kind of content, interesting, helpful, and remarkable and share worth information which you have produced to attract your buyer personas to your website and blog and encouraged them to register as leads!

I am sure this could increase your conversion rates massively.

How do you handle your leads to increase your revenue. I am looking forward to your comments in the comments section below.

Drive your audience from offline to online

As you use offline marketing material you should aggressively motivate your audience to visit your website. To achieve this you should include your website URL in all of your print material.

This includes your brochures, business cards, flyers, displays and all the stuff you give away for marketing to your audience.

As the technologies evolve, mobile devices are a great way to take your offline marketing online.

To make it easier for your audience to take your online information you should include a QR code in every piece of printed paper. This makes it easy for your potential customer to capture your most important information on the fly, like website URL and slogan, with a smart phone. Later they can come back to explore your website.

To empower this process you can do contests which lead your offline audience online. Contests are a great way to get website traffic.

For this you should maintain an email list and set a lead nurturing process to convert those generated leads during the time to paying customers.
Use your lead nurturing as an information tool, do not tray to send out sales pitches. Your email newsletter is a communication tool and if you use it wisely you can profit greatly from it.
