SEO and SMM Alert- 10/26/12 Edition

Posted Friday, October 26th, 2012 by Lindsay Dicks

I shop. I do. I have always loved fashion and clothes and it’s something that Eric definitely had to get used to!

But have you ever really watch an email marketing campaign from a clothing store?

9 times out of 10 they are simply brilliant:

They know their target market and their ads are geared towards them
The best ones send you specific emails on what you might like based off your buying habits…. “Why yes I want that over priced pair of shoes- thank you! I definitely needed those!”
They know their buying cycle and send incentives or discounts when they know the season is high (i.e. Christmas)
They track EVERYTHING!

Want to see how to get your email list to like your Facebook fan page? Watch some of the larger stores out there and their email marketing campaigns.

Here’s what I know about an email marketer… the person actually creating the email. They are VERY smart and VERY quick witted… They are writers, not designers. How do I know this? Because a very good friend of mine used to be behind the baby ads and just got recruited for hotels. She was taught to design, not taught to write.

Dan Kennedy used to say that if you never want to be hungry, learn to write and it’s very true. The money is always in your list, if you know them and can give them what they want through the power of your words you’ll never go hungry.

Enjoy this week’s alert!

CNBC Contacted me because of Celebrity Sites®! I just wanted to take a moment to say WOW! My last website took many years and many versions to never quite get what I wanted. In less than 30 days you guys designed and built a brand new website that I love and now, not even 60 days since it’s been live, I’m starting to get calls from television producers! Just last week I got a call from CNBC because they were searching for financial experts to feature on a new show they are launching and they found me thanks to my new website. This is incredible, thanks so much for the great experience. Anyone who isn’t taking advantage of your unique expertise of Celebrity Branding business people online is missing the boat in many ways! - Brian Fricke, Owner, President

“It’s always scary changing your website even when you know you need an update. Lots of times you feel like you are on an island and the people developing your website could care less if they respond to your concerns or not. Not only did Lindsay and her staff stay in constant contact with me through the entire process, they responded immediately to each question, and improved on my own ideas for the site. They thought of things that I would have never considered and have also taken my haphazard social media postings and formed a consistent strategy that is sure to blow the doors off anything I have done before. I feel like I have gotten many times over my money’s worth already. Thanks Lindsay and team!” -Dr. Chris Griffin, Ripley, MS, The Capacity Academy
