Today I want to start sharing with you what internet marketing services on the Gold Coast are all about. What sort of services will your business need to survive in this growing phenomenon called the internet? Trust me, it’s not as scary as it sounds.

In my last Post, I briefly spoke about the changes in traditional advertising and marketing. It is a fact, if your business is not on the internet then your business is going to suffer and your competitors will dominate the industry. If that’s what you want fine. However, if you want to be at the forefront of your industry then you have to implement some internet marketing strategies to get your business the results you want.

First of all I am going to assume that you will engage the services of a Professional Internet Marketing Business Consultant. Having done that, the first thing your business will need is a Plan.Your consultant should discuss the internet marketing services that will best benefit your business and the goals that you have. Your business needs to have a strategy in place to show you where you’re at now, where you are going to be, and how you are going to get there. Please, before you agree to anything, make sure you have a documented plan in place.

What does a good plan look like? Every good consultant worth his salt will know the start of a good plan should tell you:

• the percentage of loss/profit your business has suffered over the past 12-24 months.
• the marketing and advertising strategies implemented by your business
• the costs and budget of previous advertising and marketing you have implemented over a prescribed period
• the methods of tracking and measuring the results of your marketing and advertising
• the equation of cost per lead to your business
• the equation of dollar value per lead conversion for your business
• the value of a customer to your business over 6 month, 12 months and lifetime

Now this is where the rubber meets the road. This is where the difference between a Good Marketing Consultant  and a Great Marketing Consultant makes a huge difference. The second part of the plan is the confidential part that will show you systematically how the Consultant and his team are going to take you from where you are to where you want to be.

This part of the plan will show you the internet marketing strategies that will be implemented for your business. There will be a list of strategies, tools, software and programs, implementation and review periods for you to consider. This plan is a BLUEPRINT of your business success.

Beware of any Internet Marketing Business Consultant that does not discuss a plan and the internet marketing strategies with you before presenting you with a Contract or a Service Providers Agreement.

The plan comes in many shapes and forms, as well as many different names such as Blueprint, Proposal, Future Strategic Plan and so on. Be prepared to pay for this valuable document as some companies charge in excess of $5000US for it. Although costs vary, it should show you the value of the contents. How much do you want  your business to succeed?

Take heart in the words of a Coach to the Millionaires, “Your business is not about your product or service. Your business is about Marketing”. This quote was often referred to in the traditional sense of marketing. Now with the growth of the internet, the meaning remains the same. The only change is the strategies incorporated by the experts to bring about the desired results.

Gold Coast Business Marketing has got to diversify from traditional marketing to implement internet marketing strategies. Traditional methods of advertising in local newspapers, radio, t.v, flyers and so still have a place in marketing. However, the exponential growth of the internet is taking the marketing world by storm.

Retail and small businesses that persist in using traditional Gold Coast Business Marketing methods will find their competitors quickly dominating their industry. The old saying is that it will never be too soon to change, however it could be too late.

Let’s put this in to perspective. Local small and medium sized businesses have been hit terribly hard by the economic crisis of the past two years. Thousands of local businesses have been hurt and are still trying to see their way to profit in the short term and in to the future. So with so many businesses struggling, you don’t have to be a rocket scientist to understand that you have to do something different to stand out from the others.

Now you may be interested to know that in November 2009, the Queensland Retail industry advised all their members that if they were not on the internet, then they were doing themselves and their customers a disservice. Why?? Because the internet is the growing phenomenon of marketing and advertising. That is where businesses are heading to get their products and services in front of thousands of people actively “looking” for them.

For all businesses in the Gold Coast Business Marketing zone, consider this. Here’s how we see your business.

• Your business needs more customers
• Your business needs more sales
• Your business spends outrageous amounts on newspaper ads, yellow pages, radio, t.v, magazines, flyers etc etc etc
• Your business has no system for tracking which marketing strategy is actually successful
• Your business has no system for tracking where your new business is coming from
• Your business has no system to continue marketing to your current customers
• Your business has no system to build a database of current and new customers
• and so on and so on……………….

How many new customers and sales does your business need per week to start making profits? How many do you need to start making REAL PROFITS? The kind of profits where you can now start to spend more time with your family and friends doing the things you want. You could start spending time working ON your business instead of IN your business.

What if we were able to show you:

• a way to slash your advertising costs,
• to increase your sales,
• increase your customers,
• integrate automated systems to capture your new prospects details

• how to get a positive return on your investment
• a system to track and measure your marketing strategies
• and a whole host of other strategies to grow your business and profits……

is that something that we could have a coffee and talk about? If it is, then you need to act quickly. We only have the capacity to accept 7 new clients so you need to be quick. If you miss out on these you will have to go on our waiting list. Gold Coast Business Marketing will never be the same so act now.
