Marketers Secret Weapon is Web Conferencing
- 0 Comments
Successful web marketers are slaughtering their competitors by using private label branded web conferencing systems in conjunction with PowerPoint presentations. By themselves, web conferencing and PowerPoint Presentations are each web marketing gold, but when they’re used in combination with one another, they save marketers exponentially more in time and money, while maximizing the effectiveness of all their marketing campaigns.
At no point in history more than now, perhaps, has the concept that “saving money is making money” more importance. Businesses in a struggling economy must do everything in their power to maximize every last marketing dollar if they are to stay alive. As a global marketplace, “features” of yesteryear-like toll-free telephone numbers-are no longer enough to keep a business competitive in the eyes of clients, associates, and customers (past, present, and future). For example, what about those meetings where telephoning just won’t do because an audio/visual presentation (a hallmark of all successful web marketing) is in order? Whether it’s the marketers traveling to deliver presentations or the target audience travelling to a meeting or conference in a specific location, the travel expenses saved by web conferencing alone is enormous.
And here is where PowerPoint presentations come in. Because when your marketing messages are packaged as PowerPoint presentations and presented live, in real-time via web conferencing, then you save money on phone bills and travel expenses (for both you and your colleagues, clients, and customers), as well the costs of all those bulky physical presentation materials (from photo-copies and transparencies to projectors and screens) while still being able to “deliver the good”–the goods being: your expertly packaged and presented marketing message.
Another cost-savings that both web conferencing and PowerPoint presentations provide is in mailing/shipping expenses. Whether you’re sending out direct mailings to masses of people or individual marketing packages to select VIP prospects , you’re wasting a lot of money unnecessarily when you can offer the same marketing presentation–only live , with you present to guide your prospects every step of the way–by delivering the presentation or pitch as a PowerPoint presentation over live web conferencing. One huge marketing hurdle this helps overcome (beyond just the costs of creating and mailing all those physical marketing materials) is the possibility that prospect won’t even read what you send them, but rather throw it in the trash (or, if they do read it, throw it out after they come across a point that needs more explaining).
So far we’ve explored the money-saving benefits of web conferencing and PowerPoint, individually and in combination. We’ve seen how it saves money on phone bills, travel expenses, and mailing costs. However, web conferencing and PowerPoint, alone and together, also saves time on the very same elements-on phone calls, on travel, and on the creation and distribution of physical marketing materials. Just as we described earlier in this article in regards to money, at no time in history more, perhaps, than during this global economic crisis does the concept that “time is money” have more relevance and meaning either.
The third and final way that web conferencing and PowerPoint presentations used in conjunction with one another are fueling the success of the most successful web marketers is because of the sheer performance that the combined effect of these two amazing tools has on fulfilling your primary objective–making sales. Web conferencing with PowerPoint presentations is a high-conversion marketing strategy. And it’s not just useful for straight-forward, direct marketing (so to speak) either. Just look at some of the other ways this synergistic combination can be put to beneficial use: In customer service and support; In pre-sales conversations and preparations; In using chatrooms to network; In recruiting affiliates; In your human resources department–helping with interviewing, hiring, and training alike; In wooing investors and venture capitalist through community outreach; In building brand awareness.
And speaking of building brand awareness: at least one web conferencing company–HotConference–offers private label branding of your web conferences. You can customize what the participants in your web conference see–from your logo, company name, slogan, contact info, and color/design scheme to which elements of the web conferencing interface they can see and how much (or little) they can interact with it. This last item includes features like a Whiteboard on which you can scribble words and pictures, graphs and charts–whatever you need to convey your message. You can allow some or all participants to view it and/or to write on it themselves–or not. In the same way you can choose to let all or select participants view your computer desktop. And these are just some of the valuable features that web conferencing companies–or at least the best of them, like HotConference–provide.
HotConference not only beats the others on features, but on price as well, starting new users off with a one-month risk free trial. So while the most successful internet marketers are pummeling the competition, the most successful of them are using HotConference to do it.
