How to get purchase-ready customers to find you without advertising.
Copyright 2005 Michael Lever
When you advertise what are you really trying to do?
Firstly you have to get noticed amongst a sea of other
advertisers.
Then after gaining their attention you have to convince them to
trust you and take the appropriate action to become a customer.
If it all sounds a little tedious or too much like hard work
there is an alternative that might just free up a little of that
precious commodity "your time".
What if instead of advertising to find customers you could
somehow get customers to find you?
And what if this methodology cost you nothing except two minutes
of your time? You'd be more than a little interested I bet!
I'm sure most of you are aware of submission tools, after all,
they abound everywhere on the Internet.
Submitting your URL to search engines and directories is a no
brainer and easier that ever to do with the variety of automatic
and bulk submission tools at your disposal.
But although it's better than not submitting at all, this
strategy is hardly likely to launch your website traffic into
orbit. Think of the amount of visitors you need to make just one
sale for whatever it is you're offering or promoting.
There is, however, a brand new submission tool that is
revolutionizing the way customers are found on the Internet.
Actually, it's more of a service than a tool. Put simply, this
service will find customers for any referral or website
(merchant program) URLs that are submitted into it's ever
expanding database. The more URLs entered the better, as
customers will be found quicker for the submitter of those URLs.
This advertising alternative is called a "Customer Acquisition
Exchange" and uses a process known as "Customer Reciprocation"
to match
submitted URLs with the buying habits or purchase
intentions of others.
It goes much further than other submission services that seek to
have the submitted URLs merely spidered by the search engines to
gain pagerank for themselves. They generally store the submitted
URLs in directories so large they may as well be archived. Or,
they achieve such little exposure that they might as well be
hidden. Even the search engines themselves will only take notice
of the submissions when fresh content is added on a regular
basis, and where does it leave your URL when everybody else is
doing the same thing?
Unlike search engines and directories that receive predominantly
website URLs, a Customer Acquisition Exchange" receives referral
URLs and website URLs in equal measure as long as the submitted
URL promotes something.
Most submission tools leave the submitted URL feeling like a
needle in a haystack. Much like the way an Internet marketer
might feel trying to get his/her message out there and heard
amongst millions of other Internet marketers using traditional
advertising techniques.
A Customer Acquisition Exchange brings the needles together out
of the hay using the magnetic precision of Customer
Reciprocation.
All the suspicion of potential buyers is eliminated when they
find you rather than the other way around.
Let these customers discover you and your offerings by
submitting your merchant program URLs into a Customer
Acquisition Exchange today.
