If your business has not experienced revenue increases even though the general consensus is that you’ve got a great internet marketing campaign, it might be because your product or service is not meeting the expectations that your internet marketing creates. Use the suggestions below for matching your internet marketing to what you can deliver in order to prevent your internet marketing from sabotaging your business.
When your computer presence is more professional than your company’s overall service delivery or packaging, you will likely find that customers are dissatisfied. The bottom line for satisfied customers is whether they get what they believe they were getting. If professional internet marketing materials are followed up with sloppy product or service, you’ve actually worsened the likelihood that your customers will be satisfied because your internet marketing created a false image for your company.
If you’ve established a prominent Internet presence that seems to indicate that your company is larger than it is or that it can handle Internet orders that it cannot handle, such as international shipments, you’re likely shooting yourself in the foot with your internet marketing.
If your use of recommendations from satisfied customers frequently results in additional comments that express opposite views from customers, then you should consider omitting customer recommendations as a method of internet marketing. For instance, if you get one comment on social media that raves about your company’s service or products and 10 comments follow accusing the first commenter to be crazy or confused because other customers’ experiences were exactly opposite, the positive impact of a great review is negated.
If your company has a high turnover of personnel, do not encourage employee Twitter accounts as a means of social media internet marketing because followers will wonder why you can’t keep your employees.
If you switch from having internet marketing professionals maintain your superior content and quality on the Internet based on the belief that you can do it yourself, your former internet marketing may lead customers to wonder whether your business is failing because of the change in quality of your internet marketing materials.
If you’ve become disenchanted with maintaining your company blog and are simply rehashing old content, consider doing away with your company’s business blog or consider hiring someone to maintain the blog. Deteriorating content is a big issue with blogs when writers become disinterested or unable to continue generating useful content.
Make sure that everyone in your company is up-to-speed about offers you’re communicating through internet marketing. It always seems unprofessional when one hand doesn’t seem to know what the other is doing in terms of contacting your company one way and personnel being unaware of discounts or ads that they’ve received another way.
When your internet marketing material is superior to your business’ ability to provide what seems to be promised, your internet marketing can actually negatively impact your bottom line. Use the above criteria for making sure that your high-quality internet marketing material accurately reflects your business capabilities.
