Using the Internet as a Marketing Tool: Transform Your Business Today


Using the Internet as a Marketing Tool: Transform Your Business Today!

If you have yet to consider using the internet as amarketing tool, chances are that your company is lagging behind the times. Not to worry though, because we here at Ipcoweb can help to get you started! We specialise in using the internet as a marketing tool and focus on aspects of internet marketing such as SEO and social media.
Many business owners are asking the same question: WHY use the internet as a marketing tool? Let us break it down. When it comes to any marketing strategy, the aim is to affect as many people as possible, right? For instance, when you choose to air a TV ad, companies with a high enough budget will always choose to air their ad during the prime time spots. Why? Because this is when the most people are watching. If a business chooses to market itself using flyers, chances are that the owner of the business will choose to hand out those flyers in a busy spot. Again, because this is where the most people are. Now, think about it... these days, where do people spend most of their time? The answer is ONLINE. People use the internet for work, they use it for pleasure, they even use it to keep in touch with loved ones. It is because of this that using the internet as a marketing tool is the best possible move for ANY business – big or small, new or already established. If you want to get your business or company recognised, you want to find out where and how you can improve and you want to learn how to beat out your competition, you need to be ONLINE.

SEO- Why it is Set to Take Over


SEO- Why it is Set to Take Over

Pretty soon, thanks to the growing world of SEO, the advertising techniques that we, as businessmen and businesswomen, have relied on for decades will become obsolete. Before we continue, let us first answer the burning question- what is SEO? SEO, short for search engine optimisation, is a business technique that works by making it possible for potential clients to find YOU when they are looking for the product/service that you provide. How? The potential clients find you via online search engines (such as Google, Yahoo etc.) after having typed in specific keywords. SEO is all about tailoring your company website according to what YOUR potential clients are typing into those search engines. With correct SEO techniques and strategies, your company will receive drastically increased amounts of visits daily, resulting in hordes of brand new clients. Thus, learning how to rank on Google with SEO could transform your business completely!
So, why is SEO set to take over the business world?
  •   With fantastic inventions like PVR, less people are actually sitting through television adverts these days. They simply fast forward through them, making your well thought- out advertisement pretty much useless.
  •   People throw flyers away without even looking at them more often than not.
  •   When was the last time you actually listened (and we mean REALLY listened) to a radio
    advert? When was the last time you got a company’s number or name from a radio
    advert?
  •   We are all so engrossed in our own world’s when sitting in traffic- when was the last
    time you took down a number from the side of a vehicle?
  •   Fewer people are buying newspapers and magazines and are, instead, choosing to get
    their news online...
    In short, ONLINE is where everybody is... and it is where YOU want to be, too! The Ipcoweb team can help you to learn the ins and outs of SEO. Why not attend one of our FREE Google training workshops? Why not buy one of our discount SEO packages? Why not give us a call today??

Why SEO


Why SEO?

It is amazing how one simple question can have so many answers! Why is SEO so important? What can SEO do for your business? Why is SEO better than other types of marketing strategies in the business world? Welcome to the world of Ipcoweb... we are here to teach you how to rank on Google with SEO and can provide you with Google training that will help you to reach the top long before your competition does!
So, back to the number one question- why SEO? Well, think about it... when you choose to go with ‘old school’ advertising techniques like radio adverts, flyers, promotions etc., you are spending a lot (and we mean, A LOT) of money trying to convince people (who are not necessarily interested in what you are offering them) why they need your products and/or services. When you choose to focus more on SEO and your company website, you are putting your energy into convincing people (who ALREADY need the products and/or services that you are offering) why they should pick you over your competition... surely this is a better strategy to have, is it not? With ordinary advertising campaigns you are spending tons of money and gaining only a small amount of clients from your efforts- with SEO you need not even pay a cent and yet you will be generating hundreds more clients each week, month or year. So is SEO worth it? We think so!
What is SEO? It is the key to success in our technology-driven world and the secret to generating and maintaining clients throughout the year, every year!

What is SEO

As the word spreads about a brand new way of improving business, everybody has the same question on their lips- what is SEO and how can it help ME?’. Welcome to the wonderful world of Ipcoweb! It is now the end of a fantastic year, but we believe that we can help you to make 2013 even better!
Seeing as though it is the festive season, how about a few chuckles before we lecture you about the importance of learning how to rank on Google with SEO? Sound good? Thanks to a blog called ‘lookingforwardtochristmas’, here are a few of our favourite Christmas jokes:
Q. What did the big candle say to the little candle ? 
A. I'm going out tonight !
Q . What is the best thing to put into a Christmas cake ? 
A. Your teeth !
Q. What did Adam say on the day before Christmas ? 
A. It's Christmas, Eve !
Q. How can a snowman lose weight ? 
A. He waits until it gets warmer !
Q: What kind of bird can write ? 
A: A PENguin !
Q. How many presents can Santa fit into an empty sack ?

Q: Who is never hungry at Christmas ? 
A: The turkey – he’s always stuffed !
Q: What song do you sing at a snowman's birthday party ?

Hilarious, right? So, back to the nitty gritty- what is SEO? What is SEO for? In short, SEO (search engine optimisation) refers to the process of tailoring one’s company website so that it fits in with what the search engines ‘want’. If this is done properly, your website will rank higher on Google, making it easier for potential clients to find YOU before they find your competition. SEO is a process that requires patience, focus and dedication... it is not something that can be done overnight!
