Every business owner knows the importance of advertising their goods or services but, with so many ways to advertise through media today, it can still be difficult to choose which form of media would generate the best results. If you are a business owner faced with this very dilemma, the following article explains why direct marketing can be one of the most effective ways to advertise your goods or services.

If you haven’t used or heard of direct marketing before, there are several things that set it apart from other types of advertising. For example, bill boards, radio broadcasts, and T.V. commercials are designed for the masses and may or may not be seen by the customers that you are trying to target. Direct marketing, on the other hand, employs individual media contacts to ensure that consumers get exposure to your business, your products and your services.

Direct marketing is successful for several reasons. First, by sending your advertisement to customers on a one-on-one basis, you can be sure that potential customers get exposure to your name, your goods, and your services rather than hoping that they hear, see, or read it. And second, by using a professional company to generate a custom mailing list, you can target the customers who are most likely to respond to your queries, which means you will be using your budget dollars as efficiently as possible. It is also a very trackable type of advertising which means you can assess whether or not direct marketing it working for you.

There are many different ways to contact people through direct marketing. For example, email, telemarketing, house visits, and snail mail are all good examples of direct marketing because each address or telephone number only contacts one consumer or business.

Of all these options, consumers usually prefer to be contacted by mail though since it is less confrontational and invasive. After all, it can be very uncomfortable for customers to reject the proffered services in person or on the phone and, since most people these days have so many emails to sort through on a daily basis, no one wants their email clogged up with junk. On the other hand, catalogs, coupons, and magnets sent in the mail can be used or discarded with no guilt in a matter of seconds. And, out of pure curiosity, most consumers will look at everything that ends up in their mail box.

The most challenging part of direct marketing in the mail is generating the appropriate mailing list. After all, businesses and individuals change can change locations on a regular basis, the addresses need to be pretty accurate to get your advertisement to the right destination, and even coming up with an initial list of potential clients can be very time consuming and challenging.

That is why so many business owners hire a professional company to handle all their direct marketing mailing list needs when they decide to try this type of advertising.

There are several things you ought to look for in that company if you are going to trust them to generate an effective mailing list though. For example, experience will not only help you decide whether their track record includes quality service, but help them avoid pit falls with direct marketing as well. And, you will want to make sure that they spend a lot of time updating their information so that your list is accurate. The size of their contact list, their ability to customize their service to your needs, and their price are also good things to consider before you hire a company. But, once you find the mailing list provider that you need, direct marketing can be fast, easy and effective at getting your name out to consumers.

Sometimes called inbound links, backlinks are the lifeblood of Search Engine Positioning. In order for a website to be on the top of search engines like Google without the webmaster having to pay big money for advertising, the website has to have a large number of backlinks. Backlinks are links on one website that lead back to another website. The more established, high quality, and high Page Rank the website that contains the link has, the more power it has to help the linked website with its search engine position. If the website that is getting backlinks gets many High Quality and High Page Rank backlinks, the better the chance it has of being in a high position on the Search Engines.

How does a webmaster go about getting high quality backlinks to his or her website? There are many ways this can be done. Some people advocate writing and submitting articles, posting on forums, making comments on blogs. Others talk about submitting their website to various Internet directories. One directory that has an excellent reputation is called DMOZ, or the „Open Directory“. This directory is probably the most respected directory online today. The websites it contains have all been placed there by human editors; there is no „automation“ to this directory. The only drawback that’s been discussed about this directory is that it takes so long to have a website included.

Another way that many people build backlinks for their website is to use Social Bookmarking websites. A „Social Bookmark“ is a website that usually has a very popular ‚community‘ aspect to it. Users sign up and create profiles on the sites that contain photos and information about themselves. They then can save „bookmarks“ of favorite websites which can be itemized by ‚tags‘, which are one or two word descriptions of what the sites contain, and these bookmarks can be saved to a list that’s private or can be listed publicly, so that everybody can see it.

With the advent of what is known as Web 2.0, gaining backlinks is easier now than in any time in the history of the internet. Most sites now have an „interactive“ quality to them nowadays. Readers can often sign in and create profiles. They then are often allowed to post comments on the stories or articles on the website or blog. In many cases, the website or blog owner responds to these comments; thus making this section of the website or blog a conversation.

Backlinking strategies can be easy and fun and the website owner who is working on getting more backlinks for his website can learn new things, meet new people, and have a tremendous amount of fun doing something that was once a chore: building backlinks.

I have good news and I have bad news.

Ill let you down easy; here is the bad news: YOU are responsible for your own life. The good news? You must do it alone but you are not expected to do it by yourself.

You get to decide how your life will look and feel. You get to choose who will be a part of your life and who is not a good fit. You get to choose whether to be healthy or not, whether to marry or not, whether to parent or be childless. You get to decide what kind of work youll perform; what kind of car youll drive or if youll take the bus. You even get to have a say in where to live and what color your sofa will be!

With choices come responsibility Lets say you have decided to be an unmarried person. You may have chosen to become a writer, so you spend blocks of time alone with research and crafting your words. Maybe youve chosen to have a pet for companionship. You get to choose what kind of critter will be perfect for you. You get to design your days to include or exclude people whose company you enjoy. When your income materializes, you have a moral obligation to share a portion of your newly earned wealth. No matter what your lifes work, you have a responsibility to share.

Does it matter with whom I share? Consider where you derive your spiritual strength; thats how you decide where to direct your gift. That might be your church home; it could be that woman who shared her sandwich when your pantry was empty. Perhaps youve been inspired by a piece you heard on Public Radio; you can send them a few dollars to nourish the spiritual side of your self. Again, the choice is yours.

Are you isolated? Just because you are involved in this do-it-yourself-project does not mean you are out in left field or that you must live as a monk. People need other people in this world. Your life will be enriched-and you will have the opportunity to enrich other peoples lives-by mingling with society. You might enroll in a class to learn something you did not cover in your formal training. You might do volunteer work at your local hospital or care facility. You might like to become a public speaker or a court advocate or even a foster parent. Whatever choice you make should be based on your passion, your skills and what will nourish YOU.

What tools might help? There are self help groups, online classes, neighborhood organizations that can help you in your quest for a life of quality. You might have to pay someone to design a new living room; youll probably need to hire a plumber or furnace repair person before the end of your days. There are likely to be more choices-and more appeal-in calling for a designer as opposed to say, the plumber. But you get to make those decisions. You may ask for referrals from your friends or coworkers; you might access Craigs List. You might even know a guy who is an expert in the very work you need help doing.

This choice thing is daunting! Dont allow yourself to be overwhelmed by choices. If you have ever known anyone who moved from a care facility into a place of their own, you have observed the overkill they may have experienced in their newly acquired freedom of choosing. Sometimes people go overboard, over spending, abusing food and drink just because they can.

I recently heard about an elderly man who had been incarcerated for many years. He was put in a work-release program, where he could be taken to a shopping mall by an advocate. The vast array of choices literally drove this gentleman to tears. He had never seen so many items at one time from which to make choices and the experience of deciding what to choose was more emotionally taxing than he could bear! It took several trips to a number of smaller shops before he mustered the courage to enter the village mall.

Its your life we are discussing here. The total of whatever choices you make in the course of any given day will determine the quality of your life. Choose well. Choose wisely.

Speaking of incentives, you need to remember that there are many things we don’t usually consider important, that can prove very helpful when building a mailing list and when offering something to our readers.

Whether you are doing the business to business communication, or you hired a company to do it the lead generation for you, you have to have a long term strategy in mind. Articles, blogs, and incentives can make a significant difference when it comes to promotion and list building.

Making yourself look like an expert on a particular niche is something that always counts on customers‘ opinion. People like making business with successful people and, if you manage to show through your email campaign that you are an accomplished businessman, you will probably get tons of traffic towards your website fast and efficiently. Show that you are an expert and people will follow you for sure. Article marketing is the way to do it.
