This page provides my catalog of the vendors that I personally use for my internet marketing (and some resources for just general marketing).
Automated Following Up:
At Arndt Enterprises, we use Infusionsoft Marketing Software. The price of this can be an obstacle for smaller businesses, but the power of the system can far outweigh its weight in gold. The true benefit lies in the ability to aid your sales with a sequence that is personalized and diversified (it can do fax blasts as well as email blasts and voice blasts). They Guarantee that they can double your sales in 1 year. Visit Infusionsoft and watch the videos to further understand why this sytem is so powerful. The demo of this is available here.
For our clients and anyone just getting started with internet marketing, we highly suggest AWeber. AWeber is a great solution for autoresponders. The software has been out for 10 years and has evolved with new features coming out on a regular basis. It has all the essential features you need to get started. All of your leads generated will be stored in your account’s database, and your users will receive an automated series of emails that you setup in the account. Its not as savvy as Infusionsoft, but is a fraction of the cost. Plans start at $19/mo which is very reasonable, and their delivery rate is more than 99%! Basically, if you are doing internet marketing, having an automated followup system is essential. Visit AWeber for more information.
Call Tracking
When you are marketing, being able to track the traffic that comes from the ad is extremely important. These days, there are simple and easy ways to get this done! I prefer Kall8 for mine and my clients tracking. They are extremely reasonable (Starts at $2 per month), and you’ll be able to track your calls coming in from a variety of solutions including local numbers and toll free numbers. If you want to go big, they also have vanity numbers, and repeater numbers as well. This solution is much more cost effective than using some of the other solutions out there. Visit Kall8 for more details.
Audio on Website
Having audio on your website is often much easier, faster, and cheaper then having video. It can, however, become a hassle to make these recordings and post them on the website in an attractive manner. I suggest Audio Acrobat for this. With their program, you can get 1 month free of charge to try it out, and then continue on for $19.95/mo with no long term commitment. Check out all their features!
Video on Website
When it comes to free hosting of video on websites, in my opinion, you can’t beat Viddler. Their hosting is faster than you tube, and their available options are unmatched for a free service.
If you are looking for a more professional look with solid bandwidth, and easily used interface without ridiculous monthly fees, then go no further than Key Thing’s Video Paste. They offer a $1, 30 Day Trial to see if you like their service. For more information, visit Key Thing’s Video Paste Website.
Digital Video Recording
To learn more about Video Recording and Editing, visit Squeeze Page Video. They are a good resource for anything that you might need to know about how to record the video, and they also provide reasonable video editing as well.
Unblockable Pop-Up Messages
As I’m sure everyone can remember from the early days of the internet, pop-up’s wreaked havoc all over websites, annoying visitors and pushing ads. These days, a new form of pop-ups have been developed that work with Javascript technology. These pop-ups can notify visitors of your site to sign-up for your newsletter, about a special you are having, or just give them a reminder! They no longer pop-up a separate website and are quite simple. To see how fast and easy you can add attractive pop-ups to your site, visit Ad Impact. They are a hosted solution and can add real value to a website that wasn’t developed correctly quickly, easily, and starting at less than $10 per month!
