Six Dirt-Cheap Ways
To Get More Customers!

If you want to connect with more customers in your local area and build systems to create push-button traffic and sales then here are six cost-effective marketing programs you can start quickly and easily…

  • Claim and Optimize Your Google Places Listing – This is a free listing and puts your business in front of customers actively searching online for your services. These customers are ready to purchase and are looking for more information. Even better, you can offer coupons and announce special events. This free tool will get your phone ringing with new customers.
  • Build a Mobile WebsiteIf you have a local business with customers who may search for you while they are mobile (restaurants, beauty shops, towing and auto repairs, gift shops, etc.) you should seriously consider this advertising tool. More and more consumers use their mobile phones because it is so convenient. A mobile website provides information about your business in a format they can easily read and navigate. It allows you to offer specials, coupons, directions and more. Adding a mobile website will increase foot traffic and phone calls. It can also be used to promote a text messaging program…
  • Text Message Marketing ProgramIf the idea of creating push-button traffic and repeat business sounds good to you (which it should!), then you should seriously consider starting a text message marketing campaign. This incredible opportunity allows you to build a mobile phone customer base you can communicate with very easily. Even better, text messages have a 95% open rate… very powerful and cost-effective!
  • Social Media MarketingThis is another powerful and cost-effective way for any business to communicate with their customers. Social Media allows you to build a group of loyal customers you can easily contact with news, events and special offers. To put this into perspective… just imagine having the ability to contact thousands of local customers for zero advertising costs. The uses are only limited by your imagination!
  • Local Search Engine OptimizationIf you have a website you should consider employing SEO so your website appears on the first page of local search results. When you consider that more than 70% of consumers now use search engines like Google to find local businesses having top search positions puts your business in front of new customers 24/7. 
  • Local Online Advertising – We can help you advertise your business and offers on search results (also known as pay-per-click advertising), mobile phones and on social websites. We can target these campaigns using buyer keywords and geographic locations.  This advertising is very targeted and extremely cheap when compared to traditional advertising programs. When these campaigns are fully optimized you can expect a high conversion rate and low customer acquisition cost. What’s more, you can turn this advertising on and off at a touch of a button!
