| "It's an outstanding success for this 4th day of July!" |
Why all the deep impact talk you ask? Well the truth is, I found this news story fascinating , just as I'm sure many others did and felt it was rather topical for this July the 4th holiday.
It just so happens that being "topical" and relating what you do with Jafra Cosmetics to news and current events is also a highly recommend (yet rarely used) marketing strategy. Millions of people are on the net today, tomorrow, and at all times, seeking news or details about all sorts of current events. If you're writing about that event or news item, you can increase the odds that searchers will find you. If what you do (or what you market) is related in some way, then "bingo" you'll attract more targeted traffic.
The increase level of visitors such a campaign can achieve by riding on the comet tail of current events and news stories can be as spectacular as one might imagine. The impact on your business can be equally stellar.
In my previous blog entry we started our series of PPC search engine tips that can help your campaign for better targeted earthbound visitors. Below are this weeks PPC tips (watch for more next week):
Tips for your PPC campaign:
- Sometimes people type in web addresses in those search boxes! So bid on those if the search engine allows it: 'www.website.com', 'website.com', 'http://website.com' and every combination full or partial you think a searcher might actually type.
- Match up keywords with words in your ad copy. Even though a 'spa', a 'hot tub', and a 'whirlpool' might mean the same thing in your mind, if a searcher types in 'hot tub' and your listing says: "Relax and save in your new Spa", you will miss out on many interested customers.
- Think negative... yes, people search for herbs that can kill, plastic surgery pitfalls, mlm scams and sundry other peculiar things. Invite them to explore your related listing. Do you offer cosmetics or skin car as an alternative to plastic surgery? Is you mlm a beacon of light in a sea of seemingly dubious scams?
- Get creative with interest spikes in the news. 'Mad Cow' might be a great keyword for your all vegetarian product line. The 'SARS' outbreak might have generated millions of searches that your 'immunity booster' could have benefited from (just don't make any false claims). And where were all the bra ads when a gazillion people typed in 'Janet Jackson' after the 2004 Super Bowl surprise?
