  • Email Marketing and Social Media Marketing
    TThhee PPoowweerr ooff EEmmaaiill MMaarrkkeettiinngg aanndd SSoocciiaall MMeeddiiaa MMaarrkkeettiinngg WSI Whitepaper Prepared by: WSI Corporate The Power of Email Marketing and Social Media Marketing Introduction Generating new sales and repeat business from existing customers is the lifeline of all companies. Your company would simply not be able to grow without existing customers staying engaged with your brand and new leads entering your sales pipeline. By implementing a strategically planned email marketing strategy, your company can generate new leads and nurture existing ones to ensure continued business growth. Email is a tool that nearly everyone uses today, and it continues to grow and be more prevalent among Internet users worldwide. Email marketing is a type of drip marketing technique and is best described as a direct marketing strategy that involves scheduling several promotional messages with relevant contact and specific “call-to-actions” via email. Email marketing isn’t just sending a mass message or a one-time blast to your database. It is a campaign that spans over a period of time. Email marketing should always be considered a strong component of your overall marketing strategy. When accompanied by other marketing techniques (such as social media marketing, which we will discuss in greater detail in this paper), it can reap significant benefits for your company. Back to Basics: 5 Things to Consider with Email Marketing Before deep diving into a strategy to integrate social media into your email marketing, you must first ensure that you are implementing general best practices into your email marketing. Social integration isn’t going to boost your email results if your email campaigns are ineffective or poorly written and designed.

  • Affiliate Marketing Whitepaper
    BITOCHON TECHNOLOGIES AFFILIATE MARKETING WHITEPAPER 1 BITOCHON TECHNOLOGIES | AFFILIATE MARKETING Affiliate Marketing The credit for the first affiliate marketing campaign goes to twin brothers, Jason and Mathew Olim, founders of CDNOW.com. As their business grew they established many of the internet marketing ideas that we use today such as email marketing, online video, affiliate marketing, to name a few. Their Buyweb program was launched in 1994. The idea behind it was that other music-oriented sites could list information or promotional material for CDNOW’s CDs and interested customers would be able to click on the link and be redirected to CDNOW’s website to purchase their desired CD. This concept is today knows as affiliate or associate marketing. Though CDNOW.COM’s program was created first, Amazon.com whose affiliate program was launched in 1996 was the first program to become widely known and is the model for most affiliate programs created afterwards. HOW EXACTLY DOES AN AFFILIATE PROGRAM WORK? Affiliate marketing is a system of internet marketing that involves two parties, an affiliate and a merchant. An affiliate is a website owner who markets another’s products or services on his website. Simply put, the affiliate is the middle-man between online shoppers and the merchant’s products. The affiliate advertises for the merchant either with banner advertisements displayed on his website, or with redirecting links, or even promotional text and information about the product. Each time a sale is completed, the affiliate receives commission. It’s pretty much a win-win situation for both parties; the product owner is generating revenue without incurring advertisement costs and the affiliate is profiting just by advertisement of the product.
