Play-marketing-goodbuzz

Later this month, we will release the new version of our Play marketing solution Goodbuzz. We have completely rewritten the application to be faster but also have now integrated more than 200 new game mechanics right into the application.

The new plugin or widget is dubbed Goodbuzz “Play format” to sound cool and also contrast ourselves from the traditional display format in the marketing industry that is now losing effectiveness.

Our goal is to make advertising respect people. That’s the reason why we have invented the “play format” which is a brand new advertising format for publishers and advertisers. It’s easy to use, safe for brands, affordable, and delivers better marketing results faster.

The final date of release will be announced here. For now you can grab for Free our Play marketing White paper, a 43-pages entertaining presentation of the latest trends that are shaping the advertising and marketing industry. Download here: http://sdrv.ms/14sFFoy

The ABC for successful events (G)

Game

Every time when you are organizing an event, you are playing a game: you do the best with what you have and plan for the worst.

But do you know how to become the winner? :)

1. Read the rules.

You must know what people are expecting from such kind of event.  How to get this information?  Make a survey. The answered survey could be 5% discount to your event. It works because there is a mutual benefit.

2. Create a strategy.

When you know, what you are supposed to do, you can improve your event. Make it alive!

3. Be flexible.

Maybe you think that your idea was the best and you don‘t need to change anything. If you think so, you have a very strong ego… But you know,having an ego is the worst thing in business. You have to play, you have to win, that means: you have to be polite and to listen what people need.

GoodBuzz

Right now in this blog you are reading advises how to make your event successful. So I have a question for you: do you know what a GoodBuzz is?

  • Yes? Then I have finished the lesson for you today.
  • No. Keep reading and you will get some knowledge about the best promotion tool.

GoodBuzz is a peer referral network to promote events trough peers’ recommendation. It means when you have an event that needs a promotion, you log into the program and send referral requests to your peers. The other members of the network who find your event interesting to their contacts, will recommend your event to their contacts for Free.

The tool is simple to use and really valuable for those who want to have more time to improve the quality of event instead of trying to find  a spectators.

Maybe you have a great idea as well and want to share it with others? Or maybe you want to get some special information in coming posts? Maybe you just want to express yourself? Then feel free to write a comment. Let me know how valuable this post is for you and what expectations you have for the future ;)

The ABC for successful events (A)

Amuse people.

Let’s play a little bit. Find at least 3 differences:

So, do you see the difference? If you say only the details it is not interesting, it looks boring. Eventually, if you can’t make interesting invitation to the event, can you succeed during the show? Sorry, but I have some doubts.

Answer to possible questions

Let’s analyze the same ad:

I didn’t mention what kind of show it is; I even didn’t mention a place of the event. How does the person act after reading? He tries to find somewhere more information or just simply forgets about your event. Usually he forgets. So, when your invitation is written, read it one more time and try to find possible questions. If all the information is included, you can keep doing your job, but if you find something unclear – answer it in your ad.

Attitude to every person

What has two humps and is at the North Pole? The answer is – a lost camel. :) But how it is related to the attitude to every person?  Be patient, I will explain. Sometimes I behave like I want and sometimes I evaluate, what the majority expect from me but I know that I am making a mistake. Why? When I behave like I want, people around me feel like a lost camels, there is no good atmosphere for them around me. So, when you are writing the ad for your event or when you are already having a show, you should try to avoid general details and appeal to every man’s heart. Remember, that nobody wants to be forgotten and everybody wants to feel important! :)

To Be Continued…

Start Your own Profitable Referral network

Referral network - Profitable networking

The reason most people don’t start their own leads group is because they’re afraid. Others tell them that their idea will never work and that they will fall flat on their face. But the truth is that many people have done it and taken their business to a whole new level.

The advantage of starting your own leads group is that you get to be the decision-maker. By leading the group yourself (rather than passing the role around), you’ll form a solid foundation for your members. This sense of stability is what is lacking in many groups today, which means that you have the chance to build a working model that will be successful for years to come.

Starting your own group is totally free, so it’s relatively low-risk. You can hand pick all the members to ensure that they will be reliable associates with high-quality referrals. You can also manage the sub-niches in your category to ensure that there is no competition between members.

Anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit can excel at starting a leads group. Take your future into your own hands and start your own group today!

Leads groups have enormous potential in our current economic climate. They give you the opportunity to make real connections with other professionals and see identifiable results almost immediately. All of this begs the question: why not start your own leads group today?

The renaissance of leads groups means that business people spend no money on advertising and less time in networking, yet grow their sales, visibility, and brand awareness. It’s the wave of the future.

Start Your own Profitable Referral network, go to Linkcrafter to create or join a referral network now, it’s Free.

Questions & Answers Marketing Conversion rate 114% higher than Normal Advertising.

Ask-Seth GodinLinkcrafter is marketing company that helps small business owners who are struggling to attract clients but don’t have money to invest in advertising nor have time to spend in networking.

Our solutions work for marketing professionals, sales people, home-based businesses, small business owners, Freelancers, services providers, etc.

Some months ago we have started something new for our customers. We build a system like Yahoo Answers for business purpose: to capture business opportunities by answering consumers questions.

It’s a small widget our customers put on their websites or blogs that encourage their visitors and customers to send them their burning questions, needs or requests, even if they are not related to their business. They promise to provide them in a short period, if not minutes, free professionals answers, ALL for Free.

When we have started, we were not sure how things will work out. Some people doubted the foundation of the promise to put a widget on a website that promise to help anyone with answers, even if their questions or requests are not related to your business.

After several months of test now, we can say this is a really powerful marketing solution. It’s working remarkably well because the vast majority of questions involve purchase decision or service need.

For Linkcrafter company, Since we have put the Answers widget on this blog, we are collecting daily 10 to 25 requests from our visitors, readers and customers. Up to 78% of requests collected through this widget are directly related to our business. 15% are opportunities that we route to partners. We receive a small percentage of crappy requests and questions.

For the community as a whole, 36% of opportunities are collected through members Answers widgets, 13% through direct opportunity report by members, and the other 51% come from solution-feed.com ( a public Answers portal focused on before purchase questions from consumers) .

Abe’s of Maine has used Q&A marketing strategy to boost  revenue and loyalty.  Here is Sarah Mishan, Director Marketing of Abe’s of Maine testimonial:

“When we first started, we didn’t really expect it to take off the way it did,” Mishan says.

Within the first seven months, the team approved more than 5,200 questions to their site, 97% of which were answered. The team has seen a significant decline in customer service inquiries since the effort launched in March.

The notification email messages were strong performers:

- Answer emails average about a 70% CTR.

“For every 100 questions that I answer [for which I] have email addresses, I get 70 people back to my site. And that’s 70 customers that I would have otherwise not gotten.”

- 7.5% of questioners who receive an emailed answer made a purchase.

This is compared to the team’s email newsletter campaigns, which see about a 25% open rate and a 3.5% conversion rate.

Also, the team calculates an average cost-per-acquisition of customers through the answer notification emails at $23.81. That’s better than the team’s approximately $40 CPA and 2.5% to 2% conversion rate on shopping engines, although shopping engines deliver more volume”.

How to start?

Create your account on Linkcrafter.com, and pick your Answers Widget. It’s a unique link, badge or form you can use in your email signature, Newsletter, on Twitter, Facebook, or on your blog, website, etc.

Some professionals receive 150 requests a month, some other up to 800.

It’s in this way that hundreds of small are actually market their business without wasting money on expensive advertising or wasting time on countless networking websites, clubs or events.

The main benefit for small business owners is the shift from chasing customers to customers coming to you, because consumers  first come to you with their questions and needs.
