Offline vs Online Marketing in MLM Business
It is always exciting to start a new MLM Business. Your thoughts immediately turn to the extra money you can earn. Once the initial excitement subsides, you realize that you have difficult marketing decisions to make.
Typically this may take the form of SEO Optimization for your website and may include developing unique article content. You might use lead generation sites and autoresponders with prewritten followup sales messages. This is great, but you still must get the lead into the “system”.
Using only the Internet to market an MLM business can be very limiting to the success of and MLM business. Competition is very high to recruit new distributors. Expanding your horizons and using Offline advertising can set you apart from the crowd.
Living in a society that expects instant gratification can be a problem when building an MLM Business. This type of attitude goes well with using the Internet to market your MLM Business since you can instanrly get an ad posted on the Internet.
No one wants to wait for “snail mail” to work. It also seems to be much more expensive than email.. These are amontg the items you must consider in deciding between Offline or Online Marketing.
When considering an online promotion, you must take into account your email deliverability rate. This rate is constantly shrinking as many email saervices use spam filters. This has hurt the MLM Business to market online. When I answer ads online, I usually only get 50% of them in my email box. This is horrible by snail mail standards. Spending money to get good prospects and then losing them is ridiculous.
Duplicating yourself and your marketing strategies is the key to a successful MLM Business. It is much easier to duplicate a postcard campaign than an email campaign. A higher percentage of your postcards will be delivered and read than email messages. You can integrate a postcard campaign with a lead capture page and followup with both email and snail mail
The most successful MLM business owners will be those who use both Online and Offline Marketing. Use all marketing mediums at your disposal to overcome your competition.
