ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES OF USING INNOVATIVE INTERNET MARKETING IDEAS Innovative Internet marketing ideas; if you are a business owner or even if you are about to become one, there is a good chance that you have heard of innovative Internet marketing ideas before. Although you may have heard of these ideas before, do you know what they are? Better yet, do you know what they can do for you and your business? If not, you are urged to examine the advantages and disadvantages of using innovative Internet marketing ideas to promote your business. Before you start to examine the advantages and disadvantages of innovative Internet marketing, it may be a good idea to examine exactly what it is. As a business owner or a soon to be business owner, you likely already know what Internet marketing is. Marketing is getting your business out into the general public; it is done by targeting your intended audience, your customers. That targeting is done by way of the Internet; thus the title, Internet marketing. It is also important to understand innovative and how that ties into Internet marketing. Innovative is another word that is often used to describe something new; therefore, innovative Internet marketing ideas are relatively new ideas, particularly ideas that have just recently been developed. When it comes to innovative Internet marketing ideas and your business, you will find that there are a number of benefits. One of those benefits is the ease of use. Even if you do not have a large amount of computer experience, you will often find the Internet easy to use. Whether you are interested in making your business an online website, starting a business newsletter, or conducting a demographic analysis online, you should easily be able to do so. Even if you do not know how to start up your own newsletter, do an online poll, or make your own website, you should be able to learn, often in no time at all. In addition to using the Internet to put your innovative marketing ideas to into motion, you can also use the Internet to find those ideas. Using the Internet to find innovative Internet marketing ideas is a relatively quick and easy process. By staying up-to-date on the latest business and marketing news or by performing a standard Internet search, you can easily be kept in the loop, when it comes to Internet marketing ideas, particularly new ones. If you put those ideas into motion, as soon as you hear about them, your business may be given an edge above the rest of its competition. In fact, a new innovative Internet marketing idea may be just what you need to get your business up and running. - 1 -
What is also nice about innovative Internet marketing is that, although it is relatively easy to develop your own marketing ideas and execute them, you don t necessarily have to. For example, there are a large number of individuals in the United States who specialize in Internet marketing. Those individuals, who are often referred to as Internet marketing specialists, can be found online. An Internet marketing specialist is a trained professional who can not only come up with new ways to market your Internet business online, but they can also execute those ideas for you, for a reasonable fee. Whether you don t have the time to develop an effective marketing plan or if you want to avoid the hassle of doing so, an Internet marketing specialist may be able to offer you assistance. Although there are a large number of advantages to using innovative marketing ideas to promote your business, there are also a few disadvantages to do so as well. One of those disadvantages is the fact that innovative marketing ideas are new. With new marketing ideas, they have sometimes yet to be tested or proven; therefore, you are really given no guarantees that a new, innovative Internet marketing idea really will work. Of course, it is important to remember that with business, there are always risks. Trying a new innovative Internet marketing idea may not work out to your advantage, but it may also be the best thing that has ever happened to your business. - 2 -
BRANDING: AN INNOVATIVE INTERNET MARKETING IDEA? Are you searching for new, innovative Internet marketing ideas? If so, there is a good chance that you are a business owner. Businesses rely on marketing, including Internet marketing, to become a success. That is why it is important that you use Internet marketing to your advantage. Thus, the reason why you are likely searching for new, innovative Internet marketing ideas. When it comes to innovative Internet marketing ideas, you will find that different individuals have different opinions on what is considered new. For example, there are some business owners who have been using a particular type of Internet marketing, say branding, for sometime now and then there are others who just heard about it, making it a new and innovative Internet marketing idea. That is why, when it comes to finding Internet marketing ideas or strategies, you shouldn t limit yourself to something that is just new or something that is just old. Keeping all of your options open is one of the best ways to find the marketing ideas that can best fit your business. Speaking of branding, which was mentioned above, branding is an important part of Internet marketing. In fact, it is often considered an Internet marketing strategy all by itself. Branding is how your customers know who you are and what your business is. It is what sets your business apart from all of the others, namely your competition. In a way, we often think of branding as a logo, but it isn t just a logo. Although a distinguishable business logo is great, logos aren t all that branding is about. Branding is also associated with the way that your customers feel about your business, they way that they are treated when doing business with you, and what they associate your company with. Although branding is important, there are many individuals who wonder exactly how it ties into to Internet marketing. In all honesty, there are a number of different ways that branding is connected to Internet marketing. One of those ways is word of mouth. Despite what you may think, word of mouth is your most effective source of advertising or marketing. What is nice about word of mouth is that you really don t have to do much, except make sure that your customers receive the best service possible. Give them that service and you will find that you have new customers just from referrals. - 3 -
While you would assume that good service comes automatic with any business, it doesn t always. That is why a large number of customers are happy when they do actually receive good, quality service. There is a chance that your customers may be so pleased with the service that you gave them that they may be willing to help you out. This help can come with marketing in the form of testimonials. A testimonial is when a customer gives a brief account of the service that they received from your business. When looking for a new product or service, there are many customers who rely on testimonials, feedback, and ratings from other customers. By having customer testimonials displayed on your website or included in your fliers or newsletters, you may find that you end up attracting more new customers. As you can see, branding is important to Internet marketing. However, it is important to remember that branding is just one component of it. That is why it is extremely important that you take the time to research Internet marketing, including new innovative Internet marketing ideas. You will find that doing so benefits your business, often in more ways than one. - 4 -
DEMOGRAPHIC ANALYSIS: AN INNOVATIVE INTERNET MARKETING STRATEGY? Are you a business owner who is looking for new, exciting ways to market your business to the general public? If so, you are likely looking for innovative Internet marketing ideas or strategies. Innovative Internet marketing ideas are ideas that are relatively new. In a way, those ideas give you an edge above the competition because many business owners do not have the time needed to stay up-to-date with the latest happenings in Internet marketing. That is why you are urged to give innovative Internet marketing some though. Although it is important to focus on new and exciting ways to market your business, you also need to remember who you are marketing your business to. Of course, you can always market your business to the general public, as a whole, but you may have better luck marketing it to one particular group of individuals. That group of individuals should be your target market. Your target market is the people who you feel will be most likely to purchase the products or services that are offered by your business. Before searching for new innovative Internet marketing ideas, it may be a good idea to examine your targeted market. You can easily do this with a demographic analysis. Demographic is used to describe individuals who are from a particular area. It can also be used to describe individuals who would rely on purchasing a particular product or service. An analysis is a close examination. Put them together and you will be analyzing the general public to determine exactly who you should be targeting with your marketing strategies, whether they are Internet strategies or not. While a demographic analysis may seem like it may take a while and involve quite a bit of hard work, it is, almost always, worth it in the end. Doing a demographic analysis may be a little bit easier if you are running a storefront business. That is because, when running a storefront business, it is easier to examine all of your potential customers or your targeted audience. That is because most of your customers or clients will be local. On the other hand, if you are running an Internet business, you will find that your customers may come from all around the world! That can be a little bit difficult to analyze, but that doesn t mean that you shouldn t do it. It may be a little bit easier to focus on your business and the type of individuals who will need to use your business. For example, if you are running an online pet store, you will want to analyze and examine pet owners. Knowing where the most pet owners are located and where they currently buy their merchandise from is a great way to know where your business stands or how it needs to be marketed. - 5 -
It is also important to note that you do not have to do your own demographic analysis. If you are short on time or if you don t have the resources needed to do your own research, you should be able to seek assistance from a professional. One of the professionals that you can seek assistance from is an Internet marketing specialist. What is nice about Internet marketing specialists is that they offer a wide range of services, which may include a demographic analysis. In fact, a large number of Internet marketing specialists rely on demographic analysis to find and implement the best Internet marketing strategies for their clients. For a reasonable price, this assistance could prove very useful to you. Regardless of which type of business you own, it is important that you know who your customers are most likely to be. Knowing will make it easier to market your business in the most effective matter. - 6 -

INNOVATIVE INTERNET MARKETING IDEAS: AFFILIATE PROGRAMS Are you a business owner who is looking to market your business in new and exciting ways? If so, you are likely looking for innovative marketing ideas. Have you heard about affiliate programs before? Although affiliate programs have been around for quite some time, they have recently become a popular way for business owners, even small business owners, to market their businesses online. That is why affiliate programs are often still considered innovative Internet marketing. If you are a business owner, particularly one that runs an online business, you and your business could benefit from starting your own affiliate program. If you are unfamiliar with affiliate programs, you may be wondering exactly what they are. When it comes to affiliate programs, you will find that they are, in a way, a partnership between you and other website owners. That partnership involves creating links or advertisements for your online business and permitting website owners to display those advertisements on their websites. As a sources of compensation for doing so, you will agree to give your affiliate partner a portion of the sale that they helped to generate. To determine whether or not one of your affiliate partners helped to generate a sale, you will need to use an affiliate tracking program. These programs can often be found online for free or for a reasonable price. One of the many reasons why you should give this Internet marketing idea a try is because it is, relatively, risk free. For example, if you agree to pay your affiliates a portion of the sales that they helped to generate, you don t have to make any payments, unless they actually help with a sale. This means that if you start an affiliate program and it doesn t work out the way that you intended, you can easily stop. If you did not generate any sales, you do not have any affiliate partners to pay; thus being risk free. Many times the only money that you will loose is the money invested in an affiliate tracking program, if you decided to pay for one. Affiliate programs are also nice because, as the business owner, you should have complete control over your programs. For example, a large number of business owners choose to give their affiliate partners a percentage of the sale that they helped to generate. That percentage often ranges from five percent to fifteen percent; however, you have the power to create your own standards. In fact, in addition to using a percentage, you can also offer your affiliate partners a flat fee for every sale that they help to generate. For example, no matter how large or small the sale generated was, you may want to offer your affiliate partners five dollars for each sale. In all honesty, the decision is yours to make. - 9 -
It is also important to note that affiliate programs are somewhat easy to get started. If you are planning on using an affiliate tracking program, you may want to sign up for a program that also helps you create your own banners, online advertisements, or links. It may also be a good idea to use a program that will give you detailed information on affiliate programs, as well as how to get started with them, especially if you are unfamiliar with how they work or how they are set up. In most cases, you will also find that you can seek professional assistance from an individual who knows how to set up affiliate marketing programs. This assistance, which can typically be obtained for a reasonable price, may help your business start an affiliate program with little or no work. As nice as affiliate programs are, you will find that they are not the only Internet marketing strategy out there. If you are looking to market your business to its fullest extent, you are advised to implement a number of different innovative marketing ideas together. You will find that the more marketing you put into action, the better the chances are of your business becoming or staying a success. - 10 -
