#1 Online Marketing is a Science AND an Art

Marrying the art and science of online marketing with strategy SELLS. Buying expensive tracking is not going to make your online marketing better – How you use it to understand your analytics is what helps us improve, learn, leverage success, etc. Go back to marketing 101 – who is your target audience, what is your GOAL, what are success criteria, what tools can support you, how will you track/optimize ???

Go back to your web analytics and review the sources of your traffic, leads and sales. Look at the numbers, and take the extra step to understand all the variables that influence those numbers. Create a baseline report that you review at least monthly and go one step further and map out your observations, recommendations, optimizations and new channel ideas.

Web Marketing Therapy Advice: There are multiple ways to treat marketing goals. Treat your professional cause (purpose!), don’t just band-aid symptoms.

#2 Online Marketing is a Commitment

Blogs do not run themselves and analytics on your website do not magically optimize marketing…people make online marketing matter if they commit to the process. Online marketing tools, campaigns, strategy, etc require constant attention, optimization, analysis, management and effort.

Put your marketing energy into efforts that count. Your analytics will help you prioritize. Do your email campaigns = sales? (or do they eat up a bunch of time with no return)? Leverage what works, optimize what doesn’t. Create campaigns, execute and monitor. Rinse, repeat…it’s an ongoing process.

Web Marketing Therapy Advice: Online Marketing is the most lucrative medium because if things don’t fly, you can say goodbye. It’s OK to break up and see other people.

More Web Marketing Therapy Advice: Date first before you get married…don’t get into contractual agreements you can’t get out of. Start small with tests; you don’t have to dive in head first!!

#3 Websites Are Now WebSOLUTIONS

Websites are no longer something you build then go off and buy advertising for – sites need to be solutions. Think relationship hubs, service centers, sharing information, communicating…we are solutions via sites that serve and support. Web marketing is just that a WEB of solutions to create awareness, distribute information, create connections, help prospective and current customers connect with your organization, offer customer service and sell….is your web marketing a solution to your organization, current and prospective customers?

Think credibility, usability and visibility – Serve multiple purposes. Marketing can and should MULTI-TASK for you! Everything in “online marketingland” has had its moment – email, pop-ups, paid search, and affiliate – “online marketing soup de jour” is about social media. No matter what, trends will come and go, but the core rules/classics of marketing (to serve, support and sell) need to be respected and a core web foundation will sustain you for the long haul.

Measure how well online marketing acts as a solution. Leverage online surveys, use your data to track bounce rate, length of time on site, leads, and inquiries. Look critically at your online marketing efforts and evaluate how well they serve, support, offer value, solve problems, entertain, connect and get people to come back. (Hint – content is the #1 solution).

Also, look at your web marketing and critically evaluate your efforts (all of them) and make sure they:

1. Boost awareness (are search-optimized, have sites linking to it).
2. Distribute information/educate (blog, press pages, site content, email messages, social media, etc.
3. Connect (message, design, social media, boost the “know, like and trust factors”.
4. Are a customer service tool (FAQ pages, forums, easy contact info, valuable content).
5. Sell (are you funneling people to the actions you want them to take?).

Web Marketing Therapy Advice: Stop thinking SALES, start thinking SERVICE (and get over yourself – it’s not about you, it’s all about your customer and offering value)

#4 Online Marketing = Building Relationships

We invest in online marketing (vs. spending). The real meaning of “marketing” = maximizing exchanges (leads, inquiries, connections, etc. Online marketing is NOT online advertising. Advertising is a tool. Paid search, affiliate marketing, contextual ads, etc drive traffic, but is traffic going to website (s) that serves, supports and sells as well as it can?

Online marketing is about the WHOLE picture. Social media, Online PR, content, video, etc. How these tools work in unison is what will make your marketing click. Think marketing investing not spending.

Add a “Relationship Return on Investment (ROI) piece to your analysis. Step outside of the data and quantify your relationship building into your metrics. Number of testimonials, Number of Blog Subscribers, Email list size, your community #s in social media, tell a friend forwards, etc. It can be tough to measure direct sales, but these people are viral influencers. Include Customer Lifetime Value (CLV) in data

Web Marketing Therapy Advice: Relationships are everything in marketing. Don’t let the recession-depression get you too focused on dollars – relationships make dollars, keep the love alive. Do not discount the power of Relationship ROI. It is tough sometimes to quantify social media work, community building, effort versus return on investment, but remember it is invaluable to build relationships and that is done by creating relationships, serving, selling, etc. Securing relationships lasts the lifetime of your organization.

#5 Great Online Marketing Ideas Are Only Great If They Are Executed Brilliantly

Too many marketers get caught up in the “should’s” of marketing (“I should blog” “I have to use Facebook for marketing”) Think real vs. ideal…Do you have the resources to execute new ideas well? Strategy first – Execution second. Think the whole process through start to finish (and tracking)
