Marketing Videos Increase Conversion Rate

March 15, 2019 by Ray

Video Marketing brings results for any business or organization seeking attention, sales, or more members. People like videos – especially short ones. Google likes videos so much that they own YouTube. The most shared Facebook posts are ones displaying a brief video.

By incorporating images, voiceover, captions and energizing background music you’ll keep the attention of viewers. Your prospects are much more likely to watch a 30-45 second video than to read paragraphs of text. You’re saving them time since a picture is worth a thousand words and you can fit many photos in even the most concise video.

The Best Videos

Besides conveying information, add some humor or cute puppies or attractive models (stock photos) and visitors will engage more fully and pay attention. Then be sure to include a Call To Action (CTA), so that the viewer will take the next step. Ask them to

  • Call for more information
  • Visit website to download a free PDF
  • Subscribe to your newsletter
  • Visit your Facebook Page
  • Take advantage of special offer
  • Buy now!

Inexpensive Media Options

Besides your local videographer or web designer, you could use an online service for a semi-custom animated video costing under $200 where you provide logo, color choices and the script. Here’s one that one of my own web design clients had created:

I prefer a more personalized approach costing just slightly more. You can even use that content to create additional, more targeted videos such as for each of your product lines or services. You’ll effectively have a particular video that directly pitches to each of your prospects.

Improve Conversions of All Marketing Campaigns

One 30 second promotional video can act as your “commercial” and can be used in

  • Landing Pages
  • Linked to Pay Per Click and Facebook Ads
  • Organic Facebook posts & LinkedIn Articles
  • Blog Posts
  • Home page of your website
  • Email marketing
  • Direct Mail, Radio, TV Advertisements (just include simple URL)
  • Referral leads – ask your customers to simply share the video link!

Here’s a video I created for one of my clients a couple years ago:

Webmaster Ray Creates Effective Marketing Videos

For $399, I can offer a custom video packed with your images and even optimized for higher rank in YouTube and Google search results! I’ll help you create the script, have you select your best photos plus professional stock photos.

It’s important to be concise, so there’s no room for content that’s off-target or the viewer will stop watching. Even if you’re not in the Wilmington, Delaware area, I can assemble your video if you send images, voiceover script and even video clips.

Finally, we’ll upload to YouTube and then embed it in your website to get twice the bang for the buck. Here’s one more promo video sample:

Once you have your “introduction” marketing video working for you, other possibilities include:

  • Informational Videos – for particular products, services
  • Instructional Videos – “how to” or “explainer” (great for getting Facebook shares)
  • About You – background info on organization, leaders, employees
  • Customer Reviews – testimonials are effective
  • Case Study – tell a story!
  • Interview – Q and A with staff or owner
  • Announcements – new products, services

As you can see, there are countless ways for you to create a video library that supports all marketing efforts. Each one is a great reason for another social media post. Get started now!

Beer Bottles: Earn from your Hobby

January 11, 2018 by Ray

The very first website I built was for my beer bottle collection, before 2000. I just upgraded it with new features and to make it mobile friendly. It is a good example of how you could earn money from a personal interest or hobby or activity that you enjoy and invest time (and maybe money) in. Visit http://www.worldofbeerbottles.com and see how hyou could take advantage of similar page content and plugins for a website to help others appreciate what you do and maybe even offset some of your expenses!

Beer Bottle Website Features

  • List of Bottles
    Use to display your collection, list of business products, list of family trips, etc.
    — It’s easy to add to my online spreadsheet, which can be sorted by Name of Beer, Nation, State, and even bottles that each of my friends donated.
  • Affiliate Ads
    Earn by displaying ads/links that are similar to the theme of your website. Sell related products and services.
    — Click my links to purchase beer & brewery related T-shirts, posters, home brewing kits and even socks from Amazon.com, eBay and of course Google PPC (pay-per-click ads)
  • Ray's Beer Room

  • History, Trivia, Famous Quotes
    Provide additional content to to put your hobby/activity more appealing, interesting, fun and enjoyable to others. When visitors spend more time on your site, you have a greater chance of a “conversion” (contact or a purchase).
    — I’ve interspersed ads within the content, so as people read it, they also see advertisements for related items. Maybe they’ll take my hobby more seriously when reading about brewing history or reading beer quotes by historical figures.
  • Beer Videos
    Create your own videos, or embed popular ones from YouTube since they catch people’s attention. You will increase the chances of extra web traffic when they share with friends.
    — There are many funny videos embedded on my website. And to add to the interest-grabbing, sex sells! …But so do cute little kids and adorable puppies and kittens. 😉
  • Discussion Forum, Bulletin Board
    Make yourself an authority and create an interactive experience to build repeat traffic. Create and moderate a public or private bulletin board or discussion area, divided into categories.
    — My new and improved Beer Forum is starting fresh, so not many posts yet. I’m using the same 4 broad categories for posts. Feel free to comment there.
  • Breweriana Links
    Provide helpful resources to visitors to gain even more credibility and provide greater value.
    — World of Beer Bottles links include breweries, beer games, other bottle and can collectors and of course, more beer merchandise.

If you’re in the Wilmington, DE area, stop over to visit my Beer Room for a personal tour. We can talk about attracting visitors to your business or hobby website. Contact me anytime.

Landing Pages Improve Conversions

December 5, 2017 by Ray

Convert your AdWords PPC & Facebook Ads at a better rate!
Small businesses put lots of effort and money into marketing, so it’s important to leverage those costs to help ensure success. The home page of your website usually tries to introduce prospects to most or all of your different services or product lines. This can distract your prospect’s focus, so build a targeted page with call to action so that they will find what they seek.

Landing pages

Unique Marketing Campaigns
To better target your customers, it’s often best to advertise particular services or products to different segments of your audience. A PPC ad or Facebook ad or email campaign might focus on one item at a time, so you could be wasting money if the website page shown to prospects is too general. Landing Pages are website pages that focus on one thing at a time — the exact item that your prospect wants to know about if they’ve actually clicked your ad.

Landing Pages by Webmaster Ray
A landing page often does not include your regular website navigation menu, so prospects are not distracted. It can be very brief, displaying features and pointing to a “call to action” such as opting in to your email list, receiving a free download, or filling our a form for a “free estimate”.
This page shows several examples.

Landing page for sales conversion
Landing Page for Sherm’s Catering (click for actual)

As my own landing page highlights, here are some components you can include:

  • List of benefits / features you can offer
  • Opt-in form for newsletter
  • Button to download informational PDF
  • Contact Form (name, phone, email, etc)
  • Featured photos
  • YouTube video
  • Links to website pages or social media

Keep It Simple
Less can be more. Make it easy for prospects to quickly get the info to sell themselves on taking that next step of sending you their information (or money!).

I can create your first Landing Page for $199 or less. Additional ones (for your other products or services) will be significantly less than that, since I’ve already got the WordPress plugin installed on your site and can use the layout we created. Email me or call 302-633-1482 with questions or to get started!

Attract attention to get more customers

Convert your prospects into customers!
Here are my top 10 marketing ideas to start the new year with economical website improvements that bring results. When your prospects “google” the goods or services you provide, list of results does not allow your business to stand out from the rest.
Using my clients as examples:

  • Brandywine Auto Repair could be just another automotive shop.
  • Be Well Life Coaching could be just another life coach.
  • Gianni’s Pizza could be just another pizza shop.
  • Wilderman Physical Therapy could be just another physical therapist.
  • Annex Marketplace could be just another furniture store.

Stand out from your competitors
You know that you’re better than your competition. But you need to show your prospects why to choose you. Here are top 10 gifts that you can give your business this holiday season to get more attention, more clicks, more calls, and most importantly, MORE SALES!

internet marketing

  1. Landing Page(s)– Improve your conversion rate from Facebook Ads, PPC, LinkedIn posts and just about any advertising you do. Make your marketing costs pay off. See this Landing Page I created for Sherm’s Catering (I didn’t do his website, just the landing page). The idea is to target the exact service/product that you’re promoting, rather than come to your general landing page.
    $150-200
  2. Marketing Video – Excite your prospects with 30-45 second pitch where you can quickly outline all or most of your services. Images, voiceover, captions, background music all included. Post to your website, facebook, LinkedIn, emails, YouTube.
    $400
  3. Google Reviews – Prospects love the affirmation of happy customers! Get twice the benefit by having customers write brief reviews on your Google Maps listing – which helps you stand out with gold stars. Get twice the benefit, since you can easily copy and paste onto the Testimonials page on your website. For example, write a brief review of me here – and give me 5 stars if I deserve them! Included is a similar link on your own Reviews page.
    $75
  4. Mobile Website Upgrade – If your site is still not mobile-friendly. Optimized for best visitor experience on all devices, plus I will train you to update most content yourself on ALL pages of site.
    $600+
  5. Start a Blog – Share your insights with prospects and give them reason to contact you by providing the information they seek. Write short or long posts in minutes, adding photos to enforce your message. Then double or triple your value by sharing in social media, emails to your list, or send to people who’d have interest in that specific topic. Solve problems, display case studies, provide your opinion, highlight a new product, etc. To install Blog with 2-5 categories:
    $50
  6. Additional Domains – Create a descriptive domain name to lead to a particular page of your website or to your home page. There is no cost to “forward” a domain name, so use it for specialty items.
    $10 for .com
  7. Accept Credit Cards – Start online payment processing on your website. Take a deposit to ensure sales from impulse buyers. Include dropdown menu of payment amount choices. You create a PayPal account and I’ll install the button. Or if your volume is $3000+/mo, I’ll get you best deal on a full Merchant Account like I’ve got.
    $50
  8. Email Marketing – Create and grow your mailing list with the original email marketing program, ConstantContact.com. Easily add to your mailing list, send newsletters, and most importantly create an opt-in form that you or I can add to your site so you can gather emails! Cost depends on size of list.
    Free 60 day trial
  9. TV Commercial, Online Ads– Yes, really. Call me with your ideas and I’ll get you in touch with a friend who will give you best deal for quick results! Cost is kept down by targeting only those who are most likely to show interest.
    $150 – $1500
  10. WordPress Care Plan – WordPress software updates, regular backups of your site, highest rated security & website optimization plugins to maintain site performance.
    $120/year
