What Public Speaking Can Teach us about Marketing

Public speaking can be a great source of inspiration for marketing. I have put together a few tips that will help you improve your marketing ability and better understand public speaking.

You Need to Know your Audience

It seems obvious that you would never want to give a speech on preventing hot flashes during menopause to an audience of men in their mid-20s. However it’s not always so obvious that you wouldn’t want to market your product to the wrong demographic. But if you want the most return for your marketing dollars, be sure to do research and find out to whom your product will appeal. Google is a great example of how this can be accomplished. They use information found by your emails, what you search for and other ideas to sell different products or services specifically to your needs,

Make yourself Heard

If you give a speech and no one can hear you, no one will care about what you have to say. The same goes with marketing. Once you know your target audience, if they don’t realize you exist, you don’t matter. You need to come up with new innovative ideas to help your audience hear what you have to say. However remember to know be so loud that you leave bad impressions on your target audience. In marketing you may create a bad logo that screams amateur to your readers, or you may have terrible customer service. Make yourself heard with new ideas, but be careful not to use something that might hurt your business.

Recognize and overcome fears.

Writing Adword Ads that Sell

Written by Matt on June 24, 2008 – 6:37 pm -

If you are one of those advertisers or the many Webmasters who use Google Adwords in order to bring in traffic to your site or into your client’s site, then you should learn the tips on making greater profit on Google Adwords. After completing the generation of your keyword list, do the following for more traffic:

The most important thing you would need to do is to come up with an advertisement that will lure people to take a look at your site. Remember though that the advertisement you create should follow Google rules in terms of format:

*Use text only listings
*Title lines should be composed of 25 characters
*Product Descriptions should be at least two lines composed of up to thirty five characters each
*Limit your URL only to thirty five characters

Of course make sure that the message you give to your potential customers or visitors would be direct, effective and concise in order to drive more sales.

When it comes to thinking of the title line for your ad, make sure that your end result will be catchy and would push the visitors to read the full product or service description in your site. If your potential visitors do not read the full description, then more often than not, they will not click on the link to visit your site/your client’s site.

Think of it as a trial and error since it is a fact that with Adwords, you will be able to change the content easily. Do not hesitate to try different approaches and come up with a number of word combinations or phrases and then stick with the ones that will lead to more clicks from potential customers.
