Mapping Out An Online Lead Generation Plan
Riki Trafford
In what direction is your web site's lead generation plan
headed? Are you letting your target visitors tell you what
they enjoy about your products and services? You need a
system to let these loyal customers express their
appreciation of your online presence in a way that benefits
both of you.
Lead generators like search engines and advertising
campaigns pass on visitor information for you for a reason.
The main reason is to allow you to use this information to
build your revenue. Whenever a visitor comes from another
site, this visitor already has certain expectations of
you. These expectations include a high interest in what you
have to offer. Why place your advertisements in spots that
have little to do with your online products or services? These
arrangements will waste your efforts and attract few
visitors who really care about what you offer. Furthermore,
once these visitors arrive at your location, they add little
to your bottom line.
Some other ways webmasters and website owners draw in
web site visitors through lead generation are as follows:
Map out originality.
Uniqueness makes you stand out. Why would a visitor come to
your site rather than a similar site? Find leads with needs
that match what you offer. Also, toss dated material that
has lost its relevance with these visitors and other leads.
Aim for a target.
Leisurely sightseeing traffic makes no difference in your
bottom line. Why attract 20,000 visitors when only 1% (200
visitors) purchase when you can concentrate on attracting
2000 visitors with 20% (400 visitors) purchasing? Capture
the right target visitors from the onset.
Think creative.
Is your material fresh or stale? Direct mail campaigns
suggest tossing out the old - or giving it away! - and
inserting new, compelling material. You'll generate new,
fresh leads by giving away old material to markets that may
be curious to learn more about you.
Map out e-newsletter, e-book, etc.
Readers are highly attracted to content that makes a
difference to them. This attraction lures them closer in
your direction with a desire to know more. The more
relevant your material to them, the more likely they will
come back time and again.
Aim for an e-newsletter, e-book, etc.
Content that captures a visitor's interest makes the visitor
more likely to want to know more about the author. Include
content that's highly relevant to your visitor as a way to
encourage them to return time and again.
Map out plans to repeat your requests.
Loyal customers are OK with requests from you for leads.
Considering how leads keep your campaign expenses down,
loyal customers will offer leads if they get something in
return like discounts or low prices.
And, most importantly, aim to reward loyalty. Your lead
generation system will gain better momentum when you reward
your visitor for his or her loyalty. Your visitors deserve
this respect and want this recognition. If you fail do
acknowledge their part, your progress will quickly turn for
the worse and they'll quickly scoot off elsewhere.
