1. Social Media Paid Ads

A Common Mistake: Don’t think you can reach your target market by posting and boosting: that will just show your boosted post to people who don’t need your services.
Similarly you must use the FB ad manager platform if you want to target a B-2-B Audience...also you must use Custom & Look-a-like Audiences.
The Facebook algorithm has changed: keeping things simple, this means that even fewer people are going to see the content you post on your business page. In simple terms, the change means that hardly anyone is going to see the things you post on your business page in their newsfeed…Unless, you use their ad platform.
Using the ad platform successfully requires knowledge and expertise but understand it, and any business can target with precision their ideal clients or customers.
Just some of the over targeting options are job title (this alone provides over 4600 options), industry, employers, interests, behaviours, pages that they have looked at on FB, Facebook page admins who have recently spent money on Facebook, Small business owners, Landlords, Property investors, estate agents, dentists, lawyers can all be reached in a given Geographic area.
There are 11 different ways to set up ads on Facebook, dependent on your Objectives
Here’s the Process: We arrange your set-up call: usually about 30 minutes to understand what you’re trying to achieve with your Facebook Ads…we’ll look at:
- Who your audience is?
- What is it that you are providing… in terms of what they’re going to get?
- Your offer: a physical product or information, whatever it is that you’re selling?
2. Paid Ads across the Google Network
(should I run Search ads? Display ads? Or Video ads on YouTube?)
See: https://www.marketing-4-results.co.uk/online-solutions/google
The Google Network is massive: search ads, display ads and YouTube ads to name a few of the popular options
Search vs. Display: When you think of Google Ads, you probably think of the ads that show up when you search in Google.com.
Those ads are on the Search Network. The Search Network gives advertisers the opportunity to display ads at the precise time when prospects are searching for their products or services.
You can think of the Search Network like the old Yellow pages. Most prospects use Google.com to search and the Search Network is the new Yellow pages.
The Display Network has nothing to do with searching on Google.com! The key difference is that when you target the Display Network, you’re not targeting prospects searching for your products or services; You’re interrupting people as they visit one of the nearly 3 million websites in the Display Network. That’s why display advertising is sometimes referred to as “Interruption Marketing”.
3. Set-Up Affiliate Marketing Scheme
The best affiliate marketing programs make it simple and easy to earn income from your website or to have your offering promoted by affiliate partners.
Take a look at https://grow.tradedoubler.com/faq/ This is a great Affiliate programme and should set the scene and answer your questions
Affiliate marketing is the key to generating income or sales on your website by using the power of a network of other sites that promote your product or service.
The concept of affiliate marketing is relatively simple: you sign up for a program for a particular product or service, and if accepted for it, you can then using existing marketing materials and/or links with a unique URL. In the event that someone signs up for that product or service using that URL, the referring partner earns a commission.
4. Set-Up Native ads campaign for Franchisee acquisition

Why our CRM offering is different
Most businesses are presented with a confusing and vast amount of options when choosing a CRM. If you choose to DIY or elect for "an off the shelf" package like Monday, Salesforce or ZOHO you are presented with the un-configured product: most have great difficulty setting the system up to work the way they do.
Another option is to choose a truly bespoke system (custom coded): Such options start at £10,000 plus hosting costs.
With us, we first get to know your needs by consulting with you, advising on best practice, flowcharting, identifying software and configuring it as needed.
You can of course use the expertise of ZOHO or Salesforce consultants but they are expensive and rarely understand the marketing or business needs as we do.
Hosting from £250.00 per month (following development stage): hosting & 10k per month email send allowance (workflows): five user licence. Price may vary depending on your performance security and backup needs.
