Marketing Strategist Blogs 50 Ways to Promote an iPhone App

Kenosha, Wis. (Vocus) July 9, 2009

Apple celebrates the one-year anniversary of the App Store this week. With more than 60,000 Apps accumulated in that time, the launch of a new App can easily get lost. That is why GS Marketing Group, Inc., a leading App developer, assembled a list of 50 (and still growing) ways to promote iPhone Apps, available as a blog article at TimCascio.Wordpress.com.

“iPhone Apps are a new addition to an integrated marketing plan, and I think people are unsure where to begin their marketing and promotional efforts,” said author Timothy Cascio, managing partner at GS Marketing Group. “Fundamental marketing rules apply, such as defining your target audience and identifying how to reach them. However, this medium requires insight as to what’s technically possible within Apps, how the iPhone App Store works and how social media can be leveraged to spread the word. My hope is that the blog is a practical guide for accomplished developers and expert marketers alike.”

For existing brands, a close look at current customer touch points can uncover a number of easy-to-implement, but often overlooked, promotional ideas. For new brands, publicity, social media and sponsorship opportunities play a larger role in the overall campaign.

Whether an existing brand or a new one, a mobile audience is at times more receptive to marketing messages than others. When and where mobile users spend their time in a captive environment is an outlet for consideration. Examples include advertising within complementary Apps, themed podcasts and at transit stations.

Publicity, promotions and advertising should coincide with the pre-release and release of Apps. The best shot at earning a Top Seller position within an iPhone App Store category is when all marketing efforts leverage one another.

Marketers are reminded that nothing holds back the full potential of an App like poor ratings and reviews. Mobile Apps require a commitment to marketing and ongoing product development to ensure long-term success. Acting upon insightful feature requests submitted by users will keep customers coming back and lure new ones into the fold.

Rob Walch, host of the popular Today in iPhone podcast said of the article, “This is, without a doubt, the most thorough list I’ve seen talking about different ways to promote your App. A must read.”

10 Easy Ways to Keep Web Site Content Fresh

Birmingham, AL (PRWEB) May 11, 2007

Alli Denning, owner of denning e-solutions, LLC, a web design and search engine optimization company, offers 10 tips for adding valuable content to a web site. Content freshness is critical to a web site’s success, yet it is often ignored as site owners perceive the job is done when the site is launched. However, a web site not a one time project that gets checked off a to-do list; it is an iterative process that needs ongoing attention to maximize success.

Search engines love content and the only thing they love more than content is new content. They reward sites that regularly update their content with higher rankings. Users love sites with regularly updated content and respond by visiting those sites more often. There is only upside here. So, give them what they want.

Here are ten great tips and ideas about ways to make regular (and easy) updates to a web site.

1. News Column – Feature news items in a news column on the site’s home page with items that include new product/service announcements, new contracts secured, new hires, internal promotions, notice of new web site content, announcement of awards or certifications received, and notice of newsletter posted or sent. Best of all, these updates can be very fast as they can be just a few words/lines of text that link into the relevant page of the site.

2. Portfolio of Projects – Showcase completed projects with an online portfolio section. An online portfolio also helps in subsequent marketing efforts as potential customers can be guided through this area during the sales process with the portfolio serving as an excellent visual aid.

3. Blog – A blog can be a great way to stay in close contact with site users. A blog can added to a web site for little or no cost – try this link to learn more: http://wordpress.org.

4. FAQ Section – Businesses are asked the same types of questions by customers and potential customers over and over again. Write out answers to those questions and update the list regularly as new issues arise.

5. How-Tos – People are online looking for information and solutions to the issues they face. By writing how-tos that provide solutions to users’ problems, the site provides valuable information to users while establishing the company/site as the expert in the field. (see this article as an example)

6. Before & After Stories – What is better than a before and after story? People love them. They can be a very effective and interesting way of demonstrating in concrete terms the benefits of a product or service.

7. Case Studies – Case studies are the perfect way to feature business successes. State the challenge faced and detail the solution provided. Like the online portfolio, these case studies become an effective sales tool in acquiring future business.

8. Monthly Newsletter – Many businesses write some type of regular newsletter to their customers already. Make sure that the newsletter gets added to the site regularly and that an archive of past issues is maintained. Newsletter communicate important information while maintaining regular customer/client contact.

9. Statistics Related to Your Business – Statistics are interesting and people like them. They make the site’s business or industry more real to its customers and highlight the importance of its products or services.

10. Customer Stories – These can add a concrete and personal touch to the site’s information about its services /products. Simply feature a customer, interviewing them about their use of the site’s service or product and its impact on them. This idea has the added benefit of contributing to great customer relations.

Making it Happen

The best way to ensure that these content-building ideas get past the idea stage is to assign it to someone – make it a line item in their job description about which they must regularly report. Finally, set concrete goals for content delivery, such as one new piece every week. Remember, the search engines (and site users) love new content so keep it fresh!

Bay Area Web Designer Marissa Berger Presents Five Ways to Track the Success of a Website

Concord, CA (PRWEB) November 17, 2011

Marissa Berger, founder of Marissa Berger Interactive (mb/i), a San Francisco Bay Area web design firm, presents in her blog five quick tracking mechanisms which can be used to monitor a websites performance:

1) Unique E-mail Address: This can easily identify the lead source of e-mail inquiries. Instead of using info@ for everything, determine which sources are important and give them unique email addresses. They can all forward to the main address for ease of use.

2) Unique Phone Number: It is now easier to own multiple phone numbers with Google Voice, Vonage, etc. The same concept applies as with e-mail addresses; identify what is important to track and put those numbers (and the appropriate voicemail messages) in place.

3) Unique URLs: Use the Content Management System (CMS) available on the website to create new pages and assign unique URLs. The unique URLs can later be used to track the traffic of any kind of marketing performed online or offline.

4) Forms: If applicable, capture visitors information when giving out downloadable items or complimentary services. Give each form a different source name to keep track which items or services are more popular.

5) Google Analytics: This is a free service which provides a great deal of data on how the site is being used. Site owners and managers can make educated marketing decisions based on this data. Web developers can offer assistance on interpreting the results.

Give your website a chance. Put tracking mechanisms in place and learn about your online audience, says Berger.

For more information on this San Francisco Bay Area web designer and any of mb/i’s products or services, call (925) 435-1514 or visit them on the web at http://www.marissaberger.com/. MB/I offers a complimentary 30-60 minute consultation by phone or in person, depending on the caller’s location.

Starving Mortgage Broker? Five Ways to Cut the Fat and Start Saving

San Francisco, CA (PRWEB) January 14, 2011

As a mortgage broker or loan officer, you cant count on any government bailouts for your business. These five tips by Michael LaPeter, co-founder of Agent Zen, will help to trim the fat and make your business lean, mean, and most of all more productive:

1. Use Free Online Office Software.

Something amazing happened in the past couple of years: free office software has in many cases actually gotten better than paid products such as Microsoft Office. Theyre faster, simpler, and most of all, free. If youre not using Gmail, start. Youll automatically have access to google calendar and google docs, which lets you easily create documents, spreadsheets, presentations, forms, and more. If you can spare $ 50 a year, upgrade to Google Apps for business, which lets you create professional looking email addresses at your domain. If your company makes you use outlook, encourage them to check out Google Apps. Theyll save money, and youll have better email and office software.

2. Use WordPress For Your Mortgage Website.

Face it: You cant afford to spend thousands right now on a custom website. The good news is you dont need to: use WordPress instead. WordPress is not only free, its the most popular content management system for websites out there. This means that there are thousands of free and inexpensive themes available, even themes designed specifically for mortgage brokers. You can purchase a world class theme from a reputable company such as Woo Themes for $ 70, and instantly look better than 90% of your competition.

3. Partner With Real Estate Agents For A Win-Win.

My Single Property Websites (http://mysinglepropertywebsites.com/sponsor) is currently offering a sponsor program for $ 79 a month that lets you offer an unlimited number of single property websites to an unlimited number of real estate agents. Find 20 agents and have them pay you back $ 4 a month, and its free for you! Youre not only splitting your marketing cost, youre developing relationships.

Single property websites are growing more and more popular, as they let an agent create a site for a specific listing, with syndication to other sites, craigslist posting, and a ton of other marketing tools to make it easy for agents. Use this tool to develop relationships with agents, while also getting your name out in front of buyers (your name is on every single property site). More details here: http://mysinglepropertywebsites.com/sponsor

4. Track Your Expenses.

As a loan officer you deal with peoples finances all the time, and you know its never been more important to track your expenses. Unfortunately quickbooks can be a hassle, and youre busy focusing on the income side of things. A simpler solution: create an account on Mint.com, a free personal finance tracking website. Create two accounts: one personal, and one with just your business bank accounts and credit cards. Its not as thorough as Quickbooks, but it only takes a few minutes to setup, its free, and most importantly youll actually use it.

5. Use a Free/ Low cost Online CRM (Customer Relationship Manager).

If youre not yet using a contact manager, youve probably been turned off by either the cost or the painful setup. Do a google search for highrise, an online contact manager made by 37 Signals. Its free for up to 250 contacts, then $ 29 a month for up to 20,000 contacts. Setup is a snap, and theyve gone out of their way to strip all the clutter so you can focus on sales. You cant afford to let any leads slip through the cracks!

This list isn’t exhaustive, but it’s a start. You can’t change the economy, but by focusing on and improving what you can control, you’ll have the best odds possible for succeeding in 2011.

100WPthemes.com Shows Ways to Choose the Best WordPress Theme for a Website

(PRWEB) October 23, 2012

Opting for the right theme is one of the most important steps while building a WordPress website. Most of the people already know that the layout and style of the theme are important aspects of a website. However, there are many other factors that should be taken into account while choosing a WordPress theme. Well known blog 100wpthemes.com has recently come up with an excellent post sharing the secrets of choosing the best WordPress themes.

In a recently posted entry in the blog, the techniques of selecting the most appropriate theme for a website has been discussed in detail. It must be mentioned here that this blog is a trusted online resource that regularly shares valuable website building tips since more than one year. Many a times, there is a tendency to pick a WordPress theme merely on the basis of its appearance. However, 100wpthemes.com suggests that there are many important points that deserve attention while making the choice. Different theme styles have also been discussed in detail in the post.

According to 100WPthemes.com, budget, impression, and monetization options are the top three factors to take into account before making a decision. Premium and framework themes have been recommended strongly over the free ones for business websites. The cost of these paid themes can vary between $ 15 and $ 1000, and hence, budget is surely one of the leading considerations. Many business owners want to monetize their website by means of sponsorship or advertising. These website owners must opt for a theme that provides sufficient space for advertisements. Any mistake here may lead to an unprofessional and cluttered appearance of the website. The post also stresses on the importance of choosing a theme that creates the best impression for the business.

The next section of the post informs readers about the different theme styles like magazine/newspaper, eCommerce, business/corporate, multimedia, portfolio, minimal, and specialized items themes. Any of these styles can be the best option, depending on the specific requirements. Examples have also been provided for all these theme styles.

The large pool of followers of the blog across the globe has already benefited a great deal from this useful post. Robert, an eCommerce business owner from Toronto, thanked 100wpthemes.com saying, “I have never come across a more informative article on this topic. Choosing the correct theme for my website was a breeze after reading this amazing post”.

Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) December 13, 2012 E-commerce is flourishing as many people prefer to order online and get their products at home rather than searching for them in stores. With this in mind, many business owners decide it is time for their shop to go online; but the moment they want to make the switch they encounter the first problem: What platform is best for their activity and how can they set up an e-commerce website? Fiona Lewis, founder and CEO at Super Savvy Business, comes to help them with a new website video news release in which she explains what these entrepreneurs need to do in order to create professional and user-friendly websites. She begins her video release by sharing two of the platforms that can be used to set up an e-commerce. As most of you know, I am a big fan of WordPress websites, says Ms Lewis, and you certainly can make a WordPress website into a very functional and very sleek e-commerce platform. To do this, you are going to need a plugin, called Woo Commerce. There are several e-commerce plugins available, but Woo Commerce is currently I believe one of the best options around. However, when it comes to creating a website that only focuses on selling online, WordPress might not be the right solution. As Ms Lewis notices, if you want an e-commerce store which is strictly a commerce and its going to be a fairly large store, then you might want to look at some different options. One of the other open source platforms which is out there for e-commerce is called Magento. Going on, in the video release Fiona Lewis also tackles over the issue of the checkout process that online consumers need to be taken through and the tools that an online store needs to put at their clients disposal. Ms Lewis explains that in order to have a functional, practical and respectable e-commerce, one needs to make sure that the checkout process is easy and flexible; she refers to the possibility of checking the items in ones cart and updating them, having transparent security measures and shipping information, and the possibility for people to store their personal details by creating an account or by buying as a guest user. The second topic of the video release concerns WordPress plugins, and Ms Lewis decided it is time to speak about the three must-have plugins of every website. Fiona Lewis considers them essential plugins for WordPress, because they deal with three of the most important aspects of a website: SEO loading speed backup Insofar as the SEO aspect is concerned, Ms Lewis is of the opinion that the YOAST plugin is the right solution. It is an SEO-style plugin which helps you to optimize your pages for the search engines in regards to particular keywords she says. It has a whole pile of different functionalities and by installing this plugin you will be making your life a lot easier when it comes to giving search engines such as Google exactly what they want. When it comes to the loading speed of a website, it is a crucial aspect for both search engines and human visitors. Fiona Lewis recommends using W3 Total Cache because,apart from the fact that it is good from a search engine point of view, from a user point of view if your page loads quickly then you are likely to keep people from bouncing off your site and getting frustrated because the page is taking too long to load. Ms Lewis admits that, Ive used this plugin number of my sites and our clients sites at Super Savvy Websites and I really do believe it is the best option out there: you will notice a big increase in the time it takes for your pages to load when people are browsing through your website. A backup system is a vital element of each website and of each business, so it is important to make sure that each business has an online backup for their website. Ms Lewis comes with a solution: she recommends online businesses to use the plugin called Online Backup for WordPress. She explains her choice saying that, it not only allows you to backup your database which includes things like your pages, posts and comments, but also the file system which includes media and attachments and other things like your themes and plugins. When you have your backup done, you can have it emailed to you as a zip file or you can use the online storage system where you get 100 GB of free storage from the plugin creators themselves.
