Marketing In The 21st Century

View:

When some people think of marketing, they get a glazed look in their eyes, unsure of what that really is. A few will quote infamous lines about how evil corporations market their products without any real conscience. They think of polished people doing polished presentations in a polished office somewhere.

Dark suits spouting statistics about why this sale or that sale works, and what techniques are most successful. You know the typical movie scene – cups of coffee scattered on the table, flip charts and piles of paper clutter the room – used to be all done under a haze of cigar smoke. Just a window into the past, now. Marketing a business that way, in the 21st century, just won’t catch a consumer’s eye.

In the new century, those insulting TV commercials and doctored photo ads just won’t satisfy the modern consumer. We’re too jaded. To be effective in marketing to potential customers in the 21st century, you have to reach people on the go, on their laptops, their cell phones, home computers and Blackberries. No more of what’s called interruptive media such as television and radio commercials.

Now, each consumer has an electronic identity, so you can customize your marketing to them, and deliver it directly to them, at their convenience. They shop online, seeking more and more specifically designed products and services to fit their needs. They will search the country and the world, if need be, to find what they want. It’s all available at the click of a mouse. If you have done your homework, you know who your customers are and have a good idea of what they want. Now you can tailor your marketing – your selling – directly to them.

Take advantage of all the tools at your disposal to help you know your target and manage your sales. Software for your site can count hits and monitor all aspects of your sales history, to help you know if you’re going in the right direction. The crunched timeline of working on the Internet not only means you can get your product or idea out there faster, but you can get customer feedback on it faster, too! Use the speedy turnaround time as an advantage over your snail-mail competition.

Marketing In The 21st Century

Marketing can rear its head in more than one way. It can be done verbally through networking. Business cards, mailers, flyers, billboards, radio, television, etc.

The point of the above named mortgage marketing practices is to get yourself and your mortgage products in front of your potential customers.

In today's world, the internet has become a very important and powerful tool in marketing your mortgage products.

So it is very important that you keep up with it, because you better believe that your competitors are.

Just about all mortgage companies, if not all mortgage companies by now, have web sites that are designed to refer people to, so that they may learn more about your mortgage company and the mortgage products that you have to offer.

These web sites are awesome. However, it doesn't tell the consumer anything about you personally. And, it is more than likely that there is an 800 number leading them in a direction other than your desk.

This is where you might want to give some thought to creating your own personal blog about yourself and the mortgage products and services you have to offer. This way, you can direct your potential customers to your blog to learn more about you and your mortgage products and services.

One of the many benefits to having your own blog is for when you are working with a customer that is in another state, and you would never have the opportunity to meet them in a face to face situation or meeting.

The best part is, you don't need to be a rocket scientist in order to create your own. They are free, easy, and fun to build.

The internet provides many great resources for creating your own personal mortgage blog. You just sign up with a blogging site, come up with a name for your blog, and the blogging site will provide you with the URL, and template.

The entire creation of a blog takes no more than ten minutes.

Once you have completed setting it up, be sure to add a picture of yourself and a short biography. As well as mortgage information you feel is important to your customers along with a description of your mortgage products you believe will help to fit their needs.

Than, each day you can add something new about yourself, your mortgage products, or the mortgage industry to give your potential clients and current customers a reason to keep returning to your blog every day.

Once your blog has been created and ready to go, make sure you add your blog address to your e-mail signature and your business card.

Finish your conversations with customers by asking them to visit your blog when they have the opportunity, it is an excellent way for them to get to know you better, which is extremely important when it comes to building relationships.

Building a blog is very easy and very fun. And it can really benefit you when it comes to building your book of business.

So why not give it a shot? Believe me you won't regret it.
