What does Digital Marketing and Sales
Services mean?
Digital sales and marketing support services at KeyResults are specific
sets of services dealing with strictly digital delivery mechanisms
such as CD-ROM, DVD, Internet based video, audio, and interactive
multimedia or animation. Relative to marketing and sales communications,
digital sales and marketing support services break from the traditional
communications modes traditionally associated with institutional
advertising, such as television or radio spots, and with traditional
printed collateral and media.
Does this mean that traditional media
isn't needed anymore? Absolutely not. On a case-by-case basis,
traditional advertising and marketing systems can be highly effective
albeit expensive. If the budget allows, institutional advertising
can pay big dividends in branding efforts especially in large national
and multinational companies. In today's digital world, however,
marketing dollars may have significantly more impact if executed
in conjunction with a digital program. For example, if a company
can leverage print, television, and radio media advertising to pull
traffic to the web, or to request a CD-ROM the business now has
a much better opportunity to target specific content to it's customer
base. If done with promotions and give-away response programs, the
company has an opportunity to actually identify the customer for
highly targeted messages and can usually track activity as well.
Well executed digital marketing and sales
efforts produce some staggering results for many of today's companies.
The biggest benefits of tying marketing and sales efforts together
with the company web site, and possibly CD-ROM disks, is substantial
feedback and known factual information on the initiatives that frequently
blow away company management. There's not a CEO on the planet who
wouldn't want to know exactly who is showing interest in, or viewing
company collateral, or who is looking at what products at specific
times of the day, week, or month, etc.
Which makes more sense? Company
A spends $50,000 dollars on a set of local newspaper and magazine
advertising that essentially is a brochure. Whereas company B spends
their $50,000 on a web response promotion that captures customer
contact information, and provides actual demographics for visitors
responding to the advertising. Company A, has little to show for
it's dollars and can only hope that the advertising generates interest.
Company A really has no way to associate business incremental revenue
to marketing dollars spent. Company B, on the other hand, knows
exactly how many responses it's advertising program generated. In
fact, they are in position to actually generate concrete leads and
orders that can easily correlate with the money spent on this particular
project.
Many of our clients enjoy getting hundreds
of leads monthly from their combined CD-ROM, and web site marketing
efforts. These leads are by far their highest quality leads
too. One customer who tracks this stuff tells me that their digital
leads actually close as orders on a ratio of 6 to 1! Now that's
results!
