JUMP Internet Marketing

New Free Seminar Added to our Summer Schedule

We've Extended the Recovery Pricing

Our workshop schedule has been updated through August 31, 2010 and offers good news for those of you who had hoped to take advantage of our recovery pricing... the pricing has been extended through the end of August.  Many of you have only recently learned about our workshops and have asked us about the possibility of getting in on the discounted pricing during the summer.  So, we've extended the offer just for you!  Unfortunately, August is absolutely the last month for this pricing so be sure to sign up now.

New Seminar!

Social media for business... you've got to get on Facebook, are you Linked In?  Everyone has advice for the independent business owner about using social media.  Everyone tells you that you HAVE TO DO IT! But you are worried about the ROI, spam, and putting yourself out there.

Take comfort in this advice from Mr. Miyagi:

 

Without the right focus, any effort you undertake may get you "squished." We thought about calling our new seminar "How to Avoid Falling on Your Facebook and Looking Like a Twit" because so many business owners are struggling with the decision to move forward with these campaigns. In our opinion, adding a social media campaign to your online marketing efforts needs to be part of your overall marketing strategy. So, we're offering a free seminar series in August to help business owners through the pitfalls. Will a social media campaign work for your business? Maybe. Our free seminar "Social Media Campaigns and Your Business" will help you avoid doing it "guess so."

Don't Put All Your Eggs in Google

This was going to be my easter theme post... eggs, Google, get it?  All kidding aside, my point is this: Google doesn't own ALL of the market share even though the latest numbers, globally, are amazing.  Check out this trend report here.

While Google is the big fish you'd like to hook, don't dismiss the importance of your listing in the other engines.

Have you checked your positioning in search engines like Yahoo lately?  If not, you may not be happy with how your listing is displayed in the search results.  Remember, positioning is not enough. Conversion is the golden ticket.  (Now I'm thinking of Willy Wonka.)

You might be horrified to discover that your navigation is being displayed instead of your USP. 

If you've been myopic about Google, I encourage you to spend some time in some other engines this week:

• Yahoo
• Bing
• Ask
• AOL

There is a world outside of Google (even though it seems to be getting smaller by the month.)

While you're at it, check your listings in local directories and Yelp.  If you aren't there, why not?

Happy Hunting,

Denise

Time and Money to Burn: Why Good Companies Can’t Make Progress with Internet Leads and Sales

It’s 2010 and many companies still haven’t leveraged the Internet to capitalize on the lowest customer acquisition costs available to them.  For over a decade web development and internet marketing services purported to be the answer to the question, “how can we use the Internet to increase our business?”   While some businesses have been wildly successful with their Internet marketing efforts, most SMB companies struggle to gain any real momentum with their campaigns.

 

Why?

 

The reasons may surprise you. Given the current economic climate it would be easy to assume that money is the root problem. However, the inability of companies to make forward progress on the Internet has very little to do with budget and money, even in this economic climate.

 

Yet every day, businesses with the smallest of marketing budgets spend $25 to $1,000 on Internet marketing services that produce nothing.

 

The problem isn’t in the cost of the services as some consultants would have you believe.   As a matter of fact, today more than ever SMB companies can take advantage of free and low cost tools to increase leads and sales through the Internet.

From our experience, the reason that good companies can't make progress with Internet leads and sales it that they lack the right strategy and they land somewhere between attempting to completely adopt someone else's strategy or doing a little bit of something they don't understand.

 

Before you invest another penny in your website, we ask you to invest one hour of your time at our free Internet Marketing Strategies Seminar:

So, what’s the catch?  Why is JUMP offering this free seminar?

 

Quite honestly, we’d like to get out of the cleanup business by helping Oklahoma businesses avoid the many traps and snake oil salesmen they encounter in the Internet Marketing arena.

 

For over a decade we’ve been the cleanup crew called in to fix website projects that went awry.  We’d like to help Oklahoma businesses struggling in this economy know what we know about strategic website investment.  This free seminar is only available to Oklahoma business owners and is intended to guide them in how to effectively, strategically invest resources into their websites.  There's no heavy sales pitch.  It's one hour of our consulting for free.

You Can Build Your Website in ONE Day, We Guarantee It.

We're very excited about our newest workshop: Build Your Website in ONE Day.  For years we've coached businesses that were stuck, unable to get anywhere on the internet because they had no website. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

"We're still waiting for the website developer to get back to us."

"I know we need a website, but we just can't take that project on right now."

"We have a domain, but I don't have a login.  I think the guy we paid to build the website has it."

"I'm not technically savvy.  I don't know the first thing about building a website."

Maybe you've said it or you've thought it.  GOOD NEWS!  We've created a special workshop just for you.

You need a website that tells the story of your business.  (See the earlier post, Stop Wasting Your Website Dollars)  Website visitors want quick, logically organized and helpful information explaining how your business meets THEIR NEED.

You'll leave the workshop with a completed website, we guarantee it or your next workshop is free. 

We're so excited about this new workshop that we are offering a Special Introductory Price for internet customers. From now until June 30, 2010, you can register for only $275!
