Which channels should I pursue?

How do they all work together?

How do I cost-effectively get the results I want?

Ask yourself some questions

first.

How

many people are

searching for your product?

trada.com

Are you offering something that many people are already looking for?

Shoes that make women look incredible. Yeah, people are searching on that.

Do you offer a product that people don’t even know they need?

Berets for cats. Great idea, but what’s the search volume?

You need a cost-effective way to let people know you are out there.

Demographiclly-targeted marketing will allow you to reach customers who don’t know they need you.

1. Facebook. Exposure is cheap, and you also get the implied trust and viral nature of a friend liking something.

1. Display - better ROI than Facebook when conversion is the focus, but it’s still demographically and psychographically targeted.

3. PPC and SEO - use language that mirrors your mail outreach, so when people come looking for you... they find you!

4. Video. People don’t know about your solution or product. Video is the best way to explain it. Use YouTube Promoted Videos to affordably get the word out.
