With 3 more web projects in the schedule, we will let you know how we get on. Alternatively, please just get in touch with us and we will send you our dedicated portfolio.

After an incredibly busy start to September, Bath Marketing Consultancy is now working with 2 new clients across the bridge (AWE Ltd in Cardiff and Logistics Software in Barry) on their sales and marketing strategies. In addition, we are working with a small (but perfectly formed!) specialist Solicitor’s in Bath on a new website and their ongoing marketing as well as a company in Rugby looking to open a classical guitar teaching school.

Once the work has gone live, we will be updating our portfolio, but feel free to call Bath Marketing on 0871 6627501 for a free initial consultation.

These might seem obvious, but implementing them can make a huge difference to response rates.

1) Must have a headline. If your sales letters don’t have a headline that reaches off the paper and grabs the reader by the throat…you are sunk. Start paying attention to headlines.

2) Must clearly demonstrate how the reader will benefit from reading this ad, letter or email. It’s amazing how often sales letters will go about the company or product and how great it is. Your reader doesn’t care…..they always want to know ‘what’s in it for me.’

3) Must have a call to action or offer that makes sense. If a sales letter is well written you will come to the end hoping to reach an offer that you can’t resist. Most letters and ads don’t really offer anything. Without an offer, even an offer to give some more information, you are wasting your time.

1: Select Specific, Niche-Relevant Keywords
Place yourself in your customer’s shoes. How would they search for your product/service on Google? Understand your market or niche well. Research the keywords someone would most likely use to lead to your product or service. The right set of keyword doesn’t have to catch a lot of traffic – just those people who are most likely to purchase from you.
2: Write Specific and Unique Ad Copies
Any pay per click expert would tell you that simple, specific and unique ads work best. Your ad headline should be straight-to-the point. Use your keyword on your ad headline and description as well. Including the product/service’s competitive price may also help your ad stand out.
3: Tailor-fit Your Ads For Every Keyword
A customized ad for every keyword you’re using will bring better results than a generic one. Customized ads matching the keyword used by searchers will get more attention and interest. Highlight your Unique Value Proposition. Observe proper formatting and please, no grammatical errors. Include your call to action as well.
4: Customize Your Landing Page
This is the most often-ignored part of most PPC campaign. A pay per click expert will tell you that your landing page must be related to the ad or keywords used to get to it. This avoids customer confusion.
5: Optimize Your Campaign Through Trial and Error
A successfully pay per click campaign takes continuous refinement. Find out which keywords give you the most conversions or sales. Drop those keywords or ads that aren’t bringing-in the paying customers, even if they do generate lots of traffic. Remember, you pay for every click your ad gets so every click counts!

The best way to distinguish between advertising and marketing is to think of marketing as a pie, inside that pie you have slices of advertising, market research, media planning, public relations, product pricing, distribution, customer support, sales strategy, and community involvement.

Advertising only equals one piece of the pie in the strategy. All of these elements must not only work independently but they also must work together towards the bigger goal. Marketing is a process that takes time and can involve hours of research for a marketing plan to be effective. Think of marketing as everything that an organization does to facilitate an exchange between company and consumer.
