Setting Up Your Pay-Per-Call Marketing

If you are preparing or have a budget for Pay-Per-Call marketing, this means you are taking investment into marketing strategy seriously. You have come to see that Pay-Per-Call is a great way to get people genuinely interested in your products or services to contact you. It’s a form of marketing that stirs action, and hopefully leads to conversion. Now, when it comes to running Pay-Per-Call, you can go directly to a network that already has an extensive range of affiliate partnerships. Partnering with another company to work as your Affiliate Manager is adding another step in the process and another point of payment.

What’s the Difference Between Affiliate Management and a Network?

A network offers you exposure and volume, for sure, and that’s what you want. However, while quantity is definitely a goal, so is quality. It is important that the calls that come in from your Pay-Per-Call campaigns and your marketing output elicits valuable responses, rather than mass response. With a high volume of calls, you may be paying for incoming calls that do not yield a high conversion rate. The priority of a network is to bring in the calls for you. The core difference between a network and an Affiliate Manager is that an Affiliate Manager prioritizes quality calls. A network fulfills call traffic, while an Affiliate Manager strategizes for call success rate.

Why Customer Engagement Is So Important

Why customer engagement is so importantMarketing is consistently becoming more personalized and targeted, focusing on smaller groups of relevant prospects instead of a single, large audience. Marketers need to focus on building closer, emotional connections with their customers to increase satisfaction, retention and revenue.

In the past, companies focused primarily on selling their products to customers without much care for expanding on the relationship and ensuring the target consumers’ preferences are met. A recent study from Marketo revealed that customer engagement is establishing itself as a top priority in digital marketing, according to Forbes. Companies are starting to emphasize the customer life cycle rather than making a one-off sale. Marketers need to provide a unique, personalized experience for customers at each touch point in the sales process. Putting this into practice will require more in-depth content, which will need to be optimized for a user’s device or the particular context of the situation.

Generate More Sales With Call Tracking

Many advertisers base their performance reviews on call tracking systems that provide analytic information about incoming phone calls. There are various ways to implement a call tracking system. Typically, it generates information about incoming calls such as the number, time and geographical location. This drives sales by informing advertisers when and where to reach their most relevant audience.

However, consumers’ demands are growing more sophisticated. They want personalized marketing content and to be able to interact with a brand through whichever channel they choose. Using data to refine your marketing efforts improves your ability to maintain engagement with current and potential clients. Data-driven marketing created a number of new opportunities, according to Forbes and Turn’s “Data Driven and Digitally Savvy: The Rise of the New Marketing Organization” report.

While algorithms have changed dramatically over the years, the truth is that keywords and on-page coding and link building are not as important as they once were. That’s not to say that keywords and link building is irrelevant. They still play an important role; however, the largest factor is indeed content.

Here are some crucial errors that you need to prevent:

1. Taking advantage of inappropriate news events
While some real-life events can be used to express a viral brand message like Oreo’s tweet about the power outage at the 2013 Super Bowl, not everything is fair game on social media.
