Interactive Marketing: Track your Impact
By Christa Heibel
Internet users today are accustomed to sorting through a multitude of images, ideas and marketing pitches. They quickly make decisions about the messages that they will hear and those that, within the click of a mouse, will disappear from their monitor and their minds. So it follows that utilizing marketing techniques that make the greatest impact is of the utmost importance do increase your marketing Return on Investment. But what is the most effective method and how can you determine your ROI in today's point and click medium? The answer, on both counts, is interactive marketing.
Interactive marketing will set you apart from your competitors by engaging your target audience in a way that no static message can. This method of communication reaches out and grabs the user's attention and allows them to dictate their receipt of your message. Utilizing moving images, changing text, voice over and FLASH programming, a well made interactive presentation will compel your target audience to stop shuffling through the endless stream of data available online and listen to what you have to say.
In addition to wowing your audience with a presentation that appeals to the senses and engages the mind, interactive marketing gives you the opportunity to communicate with your users via embedded surveys and questionnaires. A thoughtful and appropriately-timed question can not only get your target audience thinking about their needs or your products in a different and more favorable way, it can also give the user the ability to direct the presentation in a more effective way. Answer A will take them on one path, while answer B will bring them to another. Automated interactivity is the next best thing to having a live sales person there to respond to specific questions, concerns and needs.
Perhaps one of the most significant values of an interactive marketing campaign is that it gives you the ability to track and record, with great specificity, the needs and preferences of your target audience as well as how your presentation is being utilized and received. Possessing the ability to gather survey details, analyze click through patterning, and immediately follow up with additional material or contact gives you the ability to peek into the mind of your target audience and gain a clear picture of what they really want and how it can best be presented.
Ultimately, interactive marketing works because it allows you to tap into the best of all worlds in the Internet marketing sector. A dazzling presentation, embedded questions, and the ability to analyze ROI with great detail combine to give you a powerful tool to communicate with your audience, hone your messaging and achieve higher conversion rates per dollar spent. Now that's a message we can all get.
