 MARKETING

COMMENTS

1.

Limit the website name to two words ; one word is better. The website name should reflect the type of business or the purpose of the website.

2.

The headline or the first statement should stand out and grab the reader's interest or he or she will move on to the next website.

3.

Use the tool that professional copy-writers use for direct marketing called (Unique Selling PROPOSITION "USP"). An example of "USP" is used by an automotive parts vender." Auto parts will be delivered to your shop within 45 minutes or there will be no charge". Another example of "USP" used by an appliance repair/installation shop "If we cannot repair your appliance then we will replace it with a new one of equal value at a wholesale price".

4.

Use advanced design techniques.

Use the results of  the  product or service. Such as:

 - Imagine the freedom of no more joint pain, live a pain-free life.

 - Live here in luxury.

 - This product will make your friends envy you.

5.

Put the KEYWORDS in the front to catch the search engines.

6.

Know your audience and what they are looking for; make the website attractive, unique, user friendly and organized.

7.

Include audio and video in the website to help sell the product or service.

8.

Make the website stand out, make it different from the other websites.

9.

Use words that stimulate emotions, that paint a picture.

10.

Focus on the benefits and results the customer will receive from the service  or product.

11.

Use FEEDBACK from website visitors to improve the website.

12.

Navigation should be easy and fast.

13.

Keep the main menu visible like “return to top”.

14.

Based on research black or dark print on white or light background is the easiest to read.

15.

Only use graphics that relate to the subject of the website or your location.

16.

Load time is very important, make the design to minimize graphics and pictures and make them small. Best fonts are serif (Times New Roman) or (Tahoma). For titles you might consider (Gallery) and for major points use (Poster). Put the font size in points and not pixels, this will allow the reader to change it.

17.

Make all paragraphs and pictures small to improve load time and use bold to emphasize major points.

18.

Links should be blue and underlined.

19.

CSS can minimize load time by 50%, and can reduce the time to make changes, and Follow W3C guidelines.

20.

Keep the website up to date.

21.

List the benefits  and major points in bullet, number or symbol  form.

22.

Put a time limit on buying the product or service; give no time to sleep on it and offer a money back guarantee as insurance.

23.

Get testimonials from satisfied customers.

24.

Compare your product or service with your competitors and make adjustments.

25.

Each website will come with a business card which will reference the name of the website and promote a discount coupon for your product or service. You will have your own  website name for your business with .com or .org.

WEBSITE MARKETING

 

 

Website should contain all of the above plus a sales pitch such as:

  • Try this product or service one time and you will be a repeat customer

  • Take a chance and use the discount coupon, you will be back for more

  • We try our best to stay ahead of the competition, give us a chance to prove it

  • Money worries will be a thing of the past, soon you will be taking those exotic vacations

  • Your business location, telephone number and email address

  • License numbers for your business if required

  • Your education, training, years of experience and locations

  • Your rewards, metals achievements etc

To get people to go to your website; offer a coupon to new customers of $10.00 or 10% off of purchase price and a coupon of $5.00 or 5% off of the regular price to existing customers just for visiting the website. Should put a time limit on the coupon;  usually it is 30 days.

Hi Bob, hope all is well with you. Last November we met on the cruise line Carnival. Our meeting came about a

  conversation concerning the knee.  On the back of your business card you directed me to go to your fitness page. Hope I have messaged your memory. I had placed your card in a book that I was reading at the time but just managed to pick it this  morning to finish. Anyway, I find your website to be very informative and I will use it for life planning.  Thanks for sharing and I hope that we will cross paths  again in the future. Nate Crews                                                                                        


I'm half way through your videos, watching them from DVD is more concentrated and easier to retain the information.

Also my compliments to your work, very detailed from index for each lesson, DVD labels to case covers. This was much more than I expected, appreciate your courtesy to help out beginners and advanced WCS dancers.  ---Christina


 Bob Adams' double set of west coast swing DVDs is one of the best instructional tools I've encountered.  It's a perfect review of the 

  lessons attended and a good preview of more advanced steps to come.  The organizational insert that names the various patterns is

  also quite  helpful. For aspiring WCS dancers who take their lessons seriously, this is the best deal around! ---Victoria Baker


 Gosh, I just got a chance to see your site, it’s awesome!! I showed it to some of our staff and they loved it too, they wanted to know if it

  would be ok if we used some of it on our new website which we’re designing.  Would that be ok with you? Thanks again either way you

  did such a nice job.

www.seasingles1009.bobs-webdb.com November 19, 2009 Very nice website, I've always wanted to do a Panama Canal cruise.  Was it extraordinary?  Great pictures, can't wait to see the videos          ... Jane


www.seasingles1009.bobs-webdb.com Date: Thursday, November 19, 2009 The cruise website  looks super, Bob!  I think that you should get your next cruise FREE for all of the outstanding work you did on this  ...... Carolyn


Re: bobs-webdb.com 8/7/09 Hey Bob, I just checked it out and good stuff. Man there is a lot of information on there. I hadn't looked at it in a while and it is neat checking things out. Keep up the good work. Maureen Welsh

     Great web design, Bob; informative and impressive. 8/15/09 Greetings; just a quick note here to let you know I have seen

     your web site. It is very well designed site, kudos to you!   You are a good web design master and a good dancer too.   Lois


    The www.eaa47.org website was submitted to EAA headquarters for a National website competition to be judged in  July,

    2008 Glenn A. Anderson, President  EAA Chapter 47.


    All of bobs-webdb sites have turned out to be very professional with the new format and background graphics.  Linda  08


    The www.eaa.org  website has turned out to be very professional. From Ron  (T6 pilot). 3/17/08


    From  bobbycalvillo@XX.com 11/30/05 Hey Bob; I checked out all the links you sent to your websites and think  they are pretty cool.


    Bob: From AKHammell@XX.com 11/30/05 I just looked at the latest website.  It looks great.  You did a super job!

    (Reference EXPOVEST website).


    From John Rowland jrcountry456@xx.com 2006 The green background on the cost page is too bright, it hurts my eyes.


    From Dan Antrim skipperdan@xx.net 2006 The Young Eagles application looks small on the website; However, when I

    sent it to my printer it filled the 8 1/2 X 11 sheet perfectly. Great job and a good addition to the eaa47.org   website.


From:   Marc.l.Danner 2006 Bob, when I go to the SEMINAR page, the links at the top of the page change and do not stay similarly located as all the other pages do. (For inclusion in your Financial Planning Seminar)  EXPOVEST)            


    Bob; The website looks good with lots of pictures from you and Dario. On the front page Polynesia is  spelled Polynesia, on the ship

   and on Cesar's picture. That's the only misspelled words. Be sure to let me know when you  finish with the last pages.  Julius* 9/2006  

    (reference the www.windjam806.bobs-webdb.com  website).


    You did a great job on the slide show!!  It worked beautifully!  Thanks for sharing, I hope to be traveling again soon!

    Diana Clark*   9/2006      (reference the www.windjam806.bobs-webdb.com  website).


    Bob; Thanks so much for the great pictures of our cruise, what a time we had. Alyson *   9/2006  (reference the www.windjam806)


    Hi there Bob! How are you? I'm fine. For some reason I can not access the first link and the second one to your   website...will bring

    me to your links....singles cruise but comes up with a house fire page. Gretchen 9/2006.   (This problem has been solved; BA)


   Bob; The final version of the website looks great. Julius* 9/2006 * (reference the www.windjam806.bobs-webdb.com)


    December 21,2006 I am very happy with my updated website and I have received several calls from website visitors  lately.

    2/27/07 The video clips on the  www.eaa47.org   website are great and well done, looking forward to more clips. George


    6/2007 One of the Clients for this website service suggested that Bob's  websites need more graphics to  stay in  completion with the

    webmasters that charge a thousand dollars for each website.  (Please take a look at the graphics  page for an attempt to improve this

     service, and graphics were placed as background on several pages: BA).


   9/14/07 Bob; the new colors on the  www.eaa47.org   website are great and well done,  George at gseladie@xx.com


   10/2007 Bob; based on the new techniques you are using in your design, your websites are much more professional

   appearing.....        Glenn Anderson President EAA Chapter 47.


    10/2007 Jill; The link to your website is on the internet. Take a look and if there are any changes let me know.  reply:

    Bob; The link is great!  Thanks so much..... Jill Emerson and Associates; Computer Repair Co.


    1/12/08  Bob....website www.eaa47.org: nice job with the web site! It just gets better and better! It was fun to see the

    December photos right at the beginning.  Glenn A. Anderson, President  EAA Chapter 47.
