Business Cards, Yellow Page Ads, And Val-Pak Coupons: What You Need To Know About Them

Tuesday, January 19th, 2010

In today’s world, businesses are faced with many decisions when it comes to marketing and advertising. How do you get started? What media to use in your marketing campaigns. These are just a couple of the immediate challenges. The reality is that all of the options available will work to one degree or another. The key to your success, regardless of the medium you select, is to present yourself in a manner that appeals to your prospect. When this is understood, you can be successful regardless of your selection.

Very often people follow the generally accepted trends and styles. This happens with the clothes we wear (anyone remember Beatle Mania?), the beer we drink (what age are you) and the way we advertise in publications such as the Yellow Pages. Look in the Yellow Pages and you will see page after page of similar looking business card layouts and wording. What happens is we start to mentally purge the look-a-likes and carry on until we see something that is different.

The most interesting, and different, ads that I have seen appear as a public service announcement. They have headlines like: Warning! Don’t Even Think of Using a Travel Agent Before Calling FREE Traveler Awareness Hotline! Copy below this ad would offer free advice on how to book the best rate for your next trip. I was scanning the travel section because I was looking to book a trip. This advertisement, because it was different, caught my eye. To make it really successful it also had an 800 number at the bottom to call for a Free Report. There was no sponsor so the whole presentation was non-threatening. I was given a safe way to get information I wanted without having to speak directly to a Travel Agent whose job it is to push, and sell me.

This same method can be used regardless of the medium you select for your advertising. It can be Yellow Pages, Business Cards and Val-Pak Coupons. The key is to use the criteria that make it different, interesting and non-threatening. Even though the principles are basic there is a definite knack to this type of marketing.

There is a company that, over the last 12 years, has developed automated systems that allow business people to incorporate any type of marketing advertising into an overall Marketing Strategy. That company is Automated Marketing Solutions or AMS. They differentiate themselves by not only providing marketing solutions, but by educating their consumers on the proper techniques to use, including how to create the right message depending on the medium being used. It doesn’t stop there. AMS provides the capability for a company to place their ENTIRE Marketing Program on Auto-pilot. Once a business marketing program (including voice messages, e-mails, faxes and other broadcast and mail out collateral) is compiled and sequenced, their Lead Management System or LMS provides the unique ability to maintain and control that program without any further human input.

The benefits to this system are significant time savings on what would otherwise be labor intensive tasks. It also allows for consistency in marketing messages. It means that businesses never need worry about losing customers who misinterpreted your lack of contact for lack of follow up. If you would like to hear more about Direct Response Marketing and how it can benefit your business, visit Automated Marketing Solutions today. Find out how quickly and economically you can implement and start benefiting from AMS tested and proven technology and experience.

The Benefits of Voice Broadcasting

Thursday, January 14th, 2010

Do you like receiving something for nothing? Doesn’t everyone? One of the most successful strategies today for retaining and building your customer relationships is Voice Broadcasting. Voice Broadcasting incorporates all the things your clients like about personal, one-to-one, relationship-building marketing without all the things you hate. Just in case you’re not familiar with all of its capabilities, let me explain how it works.

First, we start with a database of phone numbers for people with whom you already have some sort of relationship. You create a short, but motivating message that you want to leave them. Something like: “Hi, this is Bob Jones, from Re/Max Alliance. I’m calling because I’d like to tell you about a special Foreclosure Property Listing program we’ve instituted for our top clients. We’d like to offer you a 15% discount on admission to this program. All you have to do to qualify for this price break is call our 24 hour, toll-free recorded message line at 855-666-5555. If you listen to this message, within 48 hours you’ll get the secret password that will give you access to this discount. You can also find this secret password on our web site; www.bobjones.com. Thanks for being such a great client.

These messages are recorded using your regular phone, and then you e-mail your list of recipients to the Voice Broadcasting company, and this message gets sent to the list of numbers you provided. The message is sent during a specific time of day, when your prospect is least likely to be home, and your message is most likely to be picked up by voice mail.

Your prospects receive a personalized message from you, without you having to call anyone. They weren’t harassed by a sales call, you didn’t waste time with someone whose not interested and they can replay the message at their leisure to collect the pertinent info when it suits them. And if a live human answers, the system simply says Oops, sorry! and hangs up! No one wants to bother them, and this system prevents that completely!

So there you have it. Short, but powerful messages that you can send to literally thousands of people at one timewithout any work except for the 30-40 seconds it takes to record your message! There are endless ways you can use this amazing system to explode your profits. Business owners are using this system every day!

A company named Automated Marketing Solutions would like to help you grow your business by using this method, as well as other marketing strategies. It is AMS intent to ensure that we leave no stone unturned when it comes to your education on Technology, Marketing and as a result, Success.
