The most important thing to remember about a customer, whether they are an online PPC customer or a flesh and blood customer standing in your shop, is that they have the potential to be loyal.
In fact, this rule goes a lot, lot deeper. The PPC customer WANTS to be loyal. They are looking for a brand that they can trust and go to time and time again. They want to buy the same product because they already know that it works and they know where their hard earned money will be well spent.
Why?

It was SO important to be selected for the team and not to be left as the last person in the line-up.

They would sell you out in an instant and are always looking to better what they have.
The majority of consumers in a supermarket know exactly where to go to the find the products that they came in to buy and in general the weekly shopping basket of the average human being includes the same items and, more importantly, the same brands too.
Why?
Because we trust those brands. Read the rest of this entry »

However, what ever happened to the notion of actually beginning by looking at the content that already exists on the website? Logic dictates that if you want to draw traffic to a website, then the best place to begin working and the place that you need to know inside and out is that website. This includes a knowledge of the content of the website too and therefore there is no reason why the content of that website cannot begin to actively work for you to improve a campaign’s success.
