Marketing Promotion Marketing is an integrated communications-based process

The business person today is faced with many decisions when it comes to marketing and advertising. How to get started and what media to use in your marketing campaigns are just a couple of the challenges you are forced to meet. Reality is that all of the options available will work to one degree or another. The key to your success, no matter what medium you select, is to differentiate yourself in a manner that appeals to your potential prospect. When you understand this, you can be successful regardless of your choice.

Too often people follow the generally accepted trends and styles. This happens with the clothes we wear (anyone remember Beatle Mania?), the beer we drink (what age are you?) and the way we advertise in things like the Yellow Pages.

One of the most successful strategies today for retaining and building your customer relationships is something called Voice Broadcasting. Voice Broadcasting incorporates all the things your clients like about personal, one-on-one, relationship-building marketing without all the things you hate. In case youre not aware of its capabilities, let me explain the technology.

You start with a database of phone numbers for people with whom you already have some sort of relationship. Next, you write up a short, but motivating message that you want to leave them. Something like: “Hi, this is Michael Jagger, from Re/Max Alliance. I’m calling because I wanted to tell you about a special Foreclosure Property Listing program we’ve instituted for our top clients. We’d like to offer you a 15% discount on admission to this program. All you have to do to qualify for this price break is call our 24 hour, toll-free recorded message line at 855-666-5555. If you listen to this message, within 48 hours you’ll get the secret password that will get you access to this discount. You can also find this secret password on our web site; www.michaeljagger.com. Thanks for being such a good client. Read More…

Anyone who has sat down to dinner has, no doubt, had the phone ring only to get a pre-recorded message or Voice Broadcast. So when I pose the question I do in the title, many first inclinations will be to respond in the negative. If you do think that way then you may be missing out on one of the most powerful marketing tools available to you. All of us who have had our dinners interrupted are the victims of a business that did not understand the tool and how it fits into a professional Marketing Program. If they did we would have never received that call in the first place.

The reality is Voice Broadcasting is not a Prospect Generator. Used in this manner it leads to frustration and sometimes anger. Neither of these conditions is conducive to attracting new prospects. What Voice Broadcasting is, is one of the most useful and cost effective Automated Client Retention Tools you can have in your Marketing Arsenal. Marketing statistics demonstrate that it is ten times easier to sell to an existing customer than to a new prospect. That’s because they have a relationship with you, and already know and trust you. Voice Broadcasting automates the relationship in a personal way no other technology can. Read More…
