The Right Tool for Your Marketing Job

Time is money; undoubtedly one of the oldest clichés in
existence. Have you ever thought about what it really means
though? Is bending over to pick up a penny worth your time?
Maybe, but would it still be worth it to cross the street
for the same penny. Maybe not.

Your time has value. You can choose to use every minute of
every day in any way you wish. It goes without saying that
most of us would like to spend more time making money or at
least have our "money making" time be more profitable.

For those of you who do any type of mass marketing, you
already know about Ad Trackers, Autoresponders, and Shopping
Carts. You may or may not know that you can combine all
three (and more) into one service. This week we start our
first of a three part series on the many uses of a so called
`complete marketing tool' (we'll call it the Tool).

Every Tool has different functions, but there are a few that
are fairly universal and very necessary. This week, we'll
focus on the function often called Ad Tracking. Within a
Tool, an Ad Tracker allows the marketer to set up a tracking
protocol for any link on the marketer's web site.

What a tracking protocol tells you is exactly how many
people clicked on your link. If the link goes to a desired
location on your website, you can track your conversion rate
as well. In either case, it's invaluable information.

Here are two examples.

1) Let's say that you are promoting XYZ Shoe Polish on your
website. In the middle of one of your product comparison
pages, you put a hyperlink to XYZ's home page.
www.xyz-shoe-polish.com (for example). You can look at your
web logs to find out how many visitors that page received.
Then you can go to your Tool's Ad Tracker to find out how
many of your visitors clicked on your link to XYZ. You can
easily see how important that information is from a
marketing perspective.

2) Let's say you've just written an ebook on raising Tulips.
You website is all about flower maintenance and in one of
your spring articles, you put a link to your ebook sales
page. Because of your Ad Tracker, you know exactly how many
people got to your sales page through your article. And you
know how many of your ebook customers were as a result of
your well written article.

Just the Ad Tracking function alone is worth the monthly fee
paid to a Complete Marketing Tool service. With the
incredibly useful aspects of the Ad Tracker, you've already
saved time and marketing dollars. Nevertheless, there are a
ton of other functions that the Tool service provides. Next
week, we'll talk about the Complete Marketing Tool's ability
to track your mailing list as well as your affiliates.

In the meantime, if you can't wait to check out the other
Tool features for yourself, please feel free to check out
the very same Marketing Tool we rely on everyday. See for
yourself, how many of the great features could make your
business easier and more efficient.
