Email Marketing Considerations For Your Business

Commercial Email Marketing
Are you thinking of sending a mass email marketing campaign to prospective clients? Well, this article is for you. Learn the ins and outs of what you need to do in order to comply with the legal requirements when setting up an email marketing campaign. This is important for your business today, especially as the world is becoming much more of an online commercial sphere for businesses, engineers, buyers, and consumers.

Summary of the main points of commercial email marketing are:
  1. No misleading subject header information.
  2. Must be identified as advertisements.
  3. Must include a valid physical postal address for the sender.
  4. Must include a conspicuous notice of a recipient's opportunity to decline further commercial messages from the sender and must remain valid for at least 30 days after a message is sent.
  5. Opt-out requests must be honored within 10 business days. However, affirmative consent may be obtained to resume the sending of emails to recipients who previously opted out.
Quotes from Eric Sinrod, Attorney with Duane Morris, LLP in his article titled, "Commercial Email - Getting It Right"

Is Marketing Just Another Word For Advertising?

In todays online market place, with the convergence of marketing and advertising Web 2.0 technologies that can be embedded directly in websites, it is getting exceedingly difficult to tell the difference between marketing and advertising. However, it is wise to understand the key differences between the two, especially as it relates to Internet marketing and your B2B or B2C business.

Marketing Myth #1 Marketing is Just Another Word for Advertising

Marketing Key For Success
Excellent article comparing marketing and advertising.

These words of wisdom can be applied to Internet marketing and Online advertising directly. If you are spending $300.00 or $3000.00 per month, or more, on Google AdWords Pay-Per-Click Ads and other online banner advertising, and not investing a single dime on your Internet marketing efforts, you are hurting your business in the long run. Building a quality website, with properly optimized content, and developing a marketing message that defines who you are, are strategic keys to Web success.

So, is marketing just another word for advertising?

Marketing Strategies For Your Business

Most every industry has a crowd of manufacturers, distributors, software providers, developers, and service providers all competing with one another in the market place.

Internet Marketing ServicesIs your company standing out from the crowd?

With the latest acquisition talk from Steve Ballmer, Chief Executive Officer of Microsoft, in which he is proposing acquiring Yahoo! with a stock and cash buyout; one has to wonder if this merger/buyout acquisition deal would really help Microsoft that much in the search and online advertising market space.

If you are a Google Search user, how likely are you to switch to a new search engine provider? With nearly a 60 percent market share in December 2007 according to comScore Core Search Report, Google Search has shined through, with an outstanding track record that shows they have stood out from the crowd since their inception. When they were nothing more than a small startup, Google took the search engine world by storm, and turned out a better and faster product than any other search company had at the time. Google has strived to be the best, and has never been content with settling for mediocrity.

Many companies have taken the attitude that 80 percent is good enough if it can make them a profit. This is not how to operate your business. In essence, if you think you are such a big juggernaut in your particular business market place and the 80 percent attitude is your attitude, then that leaves 20 percent for any company to really take advantage of the situation, and develop a product or service that can take the world by storm. It doesn't take long before market share is changed from one company to the other.

How Do You as a Business Stand Out From the Crowd?

Differentiate and Dominate Keys to Successful Marketing

Quite often small business owners will ask me to reveal the most powerful marketing strategy I have seen. I can say without hesitation that the most powerful marketing strategy has little to do with advertising, direct mail, web sites, referrals or blogs.

No, before any of those things will really have any impact on your business you've got to uncover and communicate a way in which your business is different from every other business that says they do what you do. You've got to get out of the commodity business. You've got to stake your claim on a simple idea or position in the mind of our prospective clients.

Here's what I mean. Read more about Differentiate and Dominate Keys to Successful Marketing


Jim said: Never settle for mediocrity. Life is about change, new growth, and making a difference in the lives around us. No matter what direction life takes us in our new thinking, always striving to do it to the best of our abilities is key to success. Actions speak louder than words.

Marketing Tip For Business Websites

Information is King but you need to Engage the Customer

Before a customer becomes your customer on the web, it is important to understand that they have most likely found your website in one of several ways online. The various ways of being found online include: the search engines, links from other websites, links from directories, or any number of forms of online advertising.

Marketing and advertising is all about creating more sales for a business. Yes, it is true that the search engines look at the information on a website and can drive traffic to your B2B or B2C business website. The search algorithms also have hundreds of included variables for evaluating the search rankings for keyword searches related to the individual websites, and also include information pertaining to websites from other web locations on the Internet, but there is more than meets the eye for sales and marketing success.

Call to action and sales oriented copy are absolutely necessary today in order to engage a reader, and have that reader become a customer. In the world of both B2B and B2C, a visitor to a website is likely visiting the website because of an interest in the product or service your company provides. Traffic to websites today are driven by the search engines. The search engines provide a small snippet of information that is displayed whenever someone is searching for a keyword or keywords related to the websites results. This is the first step in a potential new customer becoming a bona fide customer. There is much more in the path to them actually becoming a customer.

Don't place roadblocks on the pathway. Not having sales oriented copy and call to action items is like placing a roadblock in front of a potential customer.

Apple Vs Microsoft

Both Apple And Microsoft Have Been Making Headlines Lately

Creative marketing and advertising campaigns from Apple in the past nine months have finally taken their toll on the poor PC. Actually, you've got to laugh at this. The picture above, is one of the ads being run by Apple featuring simple comparisons between a Mac and a PC. Actually both the Mac and the PC are PCs, but that is besides the point. Everyone gets the picture, Ha Ha. Love Those Apple Vs. PC Ads

Unfortunately, Mr. Bill Gates doesn't think the commercials are very funny. He has been quoted as saying, "And I don't know why [Apple is] acting like it's superior. I don't even get it. What are they trying to say? Does honesty matter in these things, or if you're really cool, that means you get to be a lying person whenever you feel like it? There's not even the slightest shred of truth to [the ideas about Vista upgrades presented in the Apple commercial he said he had not seen]."1 2

Personally, from a marketing and advertising standpoint, the message is loud and clear (and quite funny). "I'm a PC, and I'm a Mac." I've got to give my vote to a very creative advertising campaign that brings complicated issues and makes them simple for anyone to understand. Now, to be clear, I use both A Mac and a PC, many times, both at the same time, especially the Mac, when I'm waiting for the PC to reboot. HA HA

So, Microsoft has come out with their new Vista software for PCs. I decided to go into a Fry's Electronics store and check out the new Microsoft operating system. First impressions are, not much different in the look from Windows XP operating system. Granted, the new software has some nifty features, but I am not sure how much more productive a person is going to be using Windows Vista Vs. Windows XP. Vista has been promised a long time ago, and I was expecting to be blown away at the first sight of the new operating system. I was disappointed.

Apple Vs. Apple Settled

Apple Inc. and Apple Corps made news this week. They finally settled a long standing argument over trademarks. Apple Corps is the entity that controls the Beetles music rights. They have been fighting over the multicolored Apple logo since 1978. However, the Apple Corps logo didn't even look like the early Apple Computer logo. It seems as though someone got upset with all the early publicity and was having a very long tantrum. Maybe now, they will "Let It Be."

OH My, Microsoft not wanting to be out done in the news department decided to take the Apple Vs. Mac to a new level. Bill Gates issued a challenge for any hacker to break into the Vista operating system. Another one of Bill's quotes from this week, is where Gates "dares anybody" to exploit Vista, "Nowadays, security guys break the Mac every single day. Every single day, they come out with a total exploit, your machine can be taken over totally. I dare anybody to do that once a month on the Windows machine."

Now, I don't know about you, but my Windows virus checking, antivirus software has to continually be updated, sometimes on a daily basis, in order to update the database of current new Windows virus threats. It seems a very foolish statement to me, for Bill Gates to say, "I dare anybody." But, what do I know?

Actually, it is interesting to hear Bill Gates talk about who had what first when comparing Apples to Oranges, I mean Apples to PCs. More tidbits of information from Bill in the following news article: Bill Gates: We were first, we were best, we are more secure. "You can go through and look at who showed any of these things first, if you care about the facts. If you just want to say, "Steve Jobs invented the world, and then the rest of us came along," that's fine. If you're interested, [Vista development chief] Jim Allchin will be glad to educate you feature by feature what the truth is."3

Now Bill, something doesn't sound right here. Who was first? Who did what first? Who copied what operating systems? Ah, times past. How quickly we forget. Apple might not be the picture perfect poster child, but neither is Microsoft. Anyone that hasn't seen the movie Pirates of Silicon Valley, needs to go out and rent it. It puts things in perspective. One of the last conversations between Bill Gates and Steve Jobs at the end of the Pirates of Silicon Valley movie is immediately after Jobs confronts Gates about copying the Apple operating system via reverse engineering by Microsoft in which Jobs says, (paraphrased) "Our Apple windows system is still better than yours Bill." And Bill replies, "You don't get it Steve, it doesn't matter if yours is better."



From a money standpoint, Gates was right. Microsoft became wealthy beyond imagination, even with a substandard product to begin with when compared to Apple. The world was made up of PCs with DOS, and the next logical step was to make PCs really easy to use. What better way for Microsoft to do this, than by copying from the best.

IBM was the biggest loser in all during the early years of the PC. During the time when a PC was synonymous with an IBM machine running MS-DOS which was licensed by Microsoft to IBM. IBM thought the major money was in the hardware. IBM was still stuck on their mainframes. Talk about lack of foresight. Microsoft went laughing all the way to the bank with millions upon millions of licensing fees.

So goes the story. Stay tuned for the rest of the story.

Your Business B2C Or B2B Website

Welcome to our new look for the online newsletter. There are some exciting things on the Internet horizon.

There are many Internet marketing challenges facing businesses today. Let's start the New Year off with the basic design requirements of any website. This sales, marketing, and advertising website link takes you to a website that is both simple and powerful at the same time. It is simply amazing what can be done with the new Blogger software from Google. The new Google Co-op search can now be built directly into a website or a blog. Test out the new Google Custom Search feature for marketing and advertising related items from the search bar above.

Important considerations need to be taken into account when building a website for the first time visitors, established customers, and the search engine robots. Not addressing the needs of all of these areas on a website can leave a business hanging out in left field, as far as the online marketing and Internet advertising exposure are concerned.

In addition, you will see on some of our pages the implementation of a pretty cool new feature that provides a small thumbnail view, www.snap.com of the links.

Important Points For Any B2C or B2B Website

What Are You Going To Say On Your Home Page?

Well, that depends on a number of factors. Is your company a well know brand? If the company is well known, then chances are it is not necessary to spell your business out in detail on this first page of your website. However, if the business is not a fortune 500 company, like 95% of the companies in the world, then you better have a good sales, marketing, and advertising message, with the home page being key for the website.

Real Estate Marketing Report

Internet Technology Has Had A Major Impact On Real Estate And The Newspaper Industry.

Newspapers and other print publishing are fighting a war for their survival. With just one of the last major advertising dollars spent for print advertising by the real estate industry, newspapers are trying to fight back.

Internet Draws More Real Estate Ads

With the influx of new Internet marketing technologies for the real estate industry, most active home buyers are going to the Internet to do searches online for their next home purchase.

    Do it with Internet marketing style! Any person that has known me long enough will find out that I usually get straight to the sales and marketing point. Invest your time wisely. Make a difference in the world. Each individual has something special to share that can impact the world around them. Maybe your sphere of influence is one person, maybe it is your family, business, neighborhood, or a larger group of people. But, no matter how large or small a group of people that you come in contact with, a person can effect change for the good in life. We can start today with a simple business investment, with a professional word of encouragement, a "thank you", or just a kind look that really shows that you understand and appreciate another person.
