			<content:encoded><![CDATA[Online incentive marketing strategies are an affordable and powerful marketing tool. These are the online promotional contests such as, sweepstakes, giveaways and special offers companies use to get their customer’s attention. Going online with this type of marketing is taking over; it is quick and easy for the user and cost effective for your company, saving on postage, paper and printing costs. When planned well with clear goals your return on investment (ROI) is worth it.

Online incentive marketing campaigns can be created for a small or large scale plan, something for any budget. Your promotional contest sweepstake, giveaway or special offer prizes can range from company logo items (pens/pencils) to coupons, gift cards, products and/or services and vacation destinations, just make sure that it is FREE. People love to win FREE stuff! The idea is to generate customer interest and enthusiasm. Campaigns that create a strong emotion (make your contestants laugh) will get recognized and passed along through the various channels; email and social media networks, etc.

Here are 10 reasons to plan an online incentive marketing campaign:
<ol>
	<li>Find      future new customers</li>
	<li>Increase      website traffic</li>
	<li>Build      your marketing prospect list</li>
	<li>Strengthen      your loyalty with existing customer relationships</li>
	<li>Immediate      sales increases</li>
	<li>Company      gets exposure</li>
	<li>Increases      new/existing product or service exposure</li>
	<li>Increase      marketing research survey response rates</li>
	<li>Improve      product/services using contestant ideas</li>
	<li>Testimonial      responses</li>
</ol>
This is a great tactic to generate an online buzz for whatever you decide to promote. As said before: People love to win FREE stuff! This should be a win/win. To be sure of a win/win measure your efforts. You want your efforts to get the attention it deserves. Creating a landing page or a micro site will make it easy to track your measurable desired data.

Best wishes for a successful online incentive marketing campaign. Cheers!]]></content:encoded>

If yes, your customers want their online experience to be simple and fast. There are straightforward solutions to common issues that can be implemented to make your site more effective and bring in more revenue.

In the eyes and clicks of your customer, take a look at these questions:
<ol>
	<li>Do you      have unique title page names? No? You need to modify each page. The words      that you use on each page are important and need to be different to be      noticed by search engines.</li>
	<li>Are      your product descriptions short and sweet? No? Your customers need to see not read what your product does. It is worth your time to make revisions.</li>
	<li>Are      your online forms short? No? Your contact form should only ask for what      you really need.</li>
	<li>Does      your web site load quickly? No? Then place all non-important information      at the bottom of the page and make sure your images are as small as      possible.</li>
	<li>Is      your shopping cart and payment process simple to use? No? Your customers      want their experience to be easy; easy to use, easy to add products and      easy to buy. Your purchase process needs to be a seamless professional and      trust worthy experience for this to happen.</li>
</ol>
Your online customers will appreciate these simple, yet effective changes. The simple seamless, quick and easy customer experience is a happy customer. A happy customer means repeat business. That’s good right?!?]]></content:encoded>
