Remember, it’s about “Reach” and “View”

Everyone
uses a pen
A high quality pen is valued and used often
So the pen (i.e. your logo) can get a great number
of views or impressions.


Let’s say 1000 pens cost $4.00 each
The pen is used 5 times a day
It’s kept for a year, so per pen views
5 times x 5 days x 44 weeks
$4000 gives 1,100,00 views

Cost per view
$0.0036

Let’s look at the
maths again
i.e. ROI

Cost per
UNIT COST
_________
logo or =
A x B
Impression

How long to produce a top-class giveaway?
You are the expert in your subject.
So, a day? Okay ... 2 days max.


If your website gets 100 subscribers per month
Your subscriber views your
giveaway once a week
Your subscriber tells another 5
people about your giveaway
So, the number of views from one subscriber
= (1+5) subscriber x 44 weeks = 264 views

If your website gets 100 subscribers per month
100 subscribers per month = 316,800 views per year
Cost (in time) = 2 days x 8 hrs x 60 mins = 960 mins
Cost per view = 0.00303

mins per view

ISN’T THIS A VERY EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT USE OF
YOUR TIME IN TERMS OF PROMOTIONAL MARKETING!

Let’s do some
comparisons


Networking
Cost (time) per
impression is
very high
Tends to be the same faces. Few referrals. Each meeting takes up
3 hours.

Main problem
with leaflets?
They tend not to be useful
because they are usually
out and out sales leaflets

Leaflets ok if promoting an offer
Time and money to deliver 10,000 leaflets? Do people keep
leaflets or do they Google?


Paper May Be Thin, But

eBook is in

A great giveaway still needs a ‘push’
A great giveaway doesn’t go viral without some initial ‘push’, aka
‘outbound’ marketing.


Do you test your
messages and articles
for APPEAL?
Outbound Marketing is email,
blog syndication or social-share.
Wouldn’t it be great if you could test your messages for appeal and
attention-grabbing before you send them?
