Drive More Business To Your Web Site

You may have caught Cendant President Richard Smith's remarks recently regarding the shift from print advertising to web advertising …

"What is important to us, the major shift that is occurring, is print media has long been the dominant form of marketing and it's losing its throne," says Smith. "The Web is more efficient and cost-effective and quantifiable. The quicker you can move from print to the Web, you'll be better off. We say that to all of our franchisees, and we are shifting more to the Web in a variety of means and we are saving money there. We are saving money on not inefficiently spending on print.

We've been educating our customers on this shift for quite some time now. In case you are just hearing about this for the first time, let us share with you some of the online marketing tools we've been making available to help you effectively shift marketing dollars online.

Our flagship online marketing program, TrafficAccelerator, develops a targeted action plan structured to increase traffic to your website, and it uses customized marketing programs to strengthen your Internet presence and brand in the mind of online consumers. Unlike many online marketing programs, Traffic Accelerator™ is a fixed, flat monthly cost with no per-lead fees to the broker or commission splits with portal operators.

We also just recently announced a partnership with Homegain to provide you with a discounted price on their BuyerLink product. HomeGain's Buyer Link provides you with an effective way to drive pre-qualified geo-targeted visitors to your website on a cost per click basis.

For more information on how to increase consumer traffic to your web site, contact your local account executive or click here to learn more about our offerings.

Tip Of The Month
  

Keep Prospects Coming Back with e-Newsletters ...

Adding newsletters to your Web Site, or e-newsletters as we like to call them, are a great way to generate additional leads and to keep prospects coming back to your web site.

ProspectPro, our drip marketing software offering, includes a feature that allows you to add newsletters. This sophisticated feature lets you put a sign up form on your site that will, when filled out by a prospect, automatically add them to ProspectPro's contact management system, tag them to the newsletter you have the form geared towards and even to specific newsletter categories if you choose to do more then one! It will even notify you of the new addition.

If you are a ProspectPro user and haven't used this feature yet, then don't wait any longer. Detailed instructions on getting started are available by logging on to your Web Assistant. Under the 'Leads' menu, click on ProspectPro, select "User Guide" then scroll towards the bottom of the page to the heading "Newsletter".

Should you require further assistance, don't hesitate to contact customer support. If you prefer having our service bureau set up this feature, contact us at servicebureau@birdview.com.
