Only 26% of small businesses have invested any time or effort in marketing online. Yet nearly all consumers (97%) use the Internet to find businesses, products and services.

That means businesses with online marketing strategies are winning.
Here’s a simple 3 step approach:
Step #1 – Get Out There and Get Found
People need to hear about a business or product or see its name somewhere before they purchase. Online, this is accomplished when a business appears in the search engines, directories and social networks where prospective customers look for information.
Step #2 – Engage With Prospects on Their Turf
Businesses are wise to think beyond their Web sites and reach out to prospects and customers where they spend time online, whether it’s on Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube, other social networks, or through blogs or podcasts.
Step #3 – Continue to Engage and Follow Up
It sounds simple, but this is where most businesses fail on an epic level. Most businesses miss opportunities to increase their income because they don’t follow up with their prospects and customers.
You can spend 30 minutes a day implementing these steps and see a significant change in your number of customers and sales in less than 30 days time. Even if you only spend half that you will see an increase. Doing nothing is just as bad as making a wrong decision. You still lose money and you lose opportunity. It's time to take action and invest in your business.

This was an actual survey that was conducted and the results stand.
"72% of your customers would rather lose their wallet than their cell phone!"
You may know from your own personal experience that a cell phone has become a necessity in today’s busy world.
It is the preferred method of communication by most people and it is becoming very sophisticated.
I sleep with mine.
Today's topic? SMS Text Message Mobile Marketing.
The point? Your expanded market reach and your plan of action.
You do not have to ask people for their cell phone numbers. As you know, most people would not be crazy
about that idea and it would not be effective for you or your business.
The question? How do you use this methodology for your business to expand your market reach and succeed(profit).
The way it works is you simply come up with an appealing special “offer” to give customers and prospects a
reason to want to “opt-in” or join your list.
For example, many of our restaurant clients will offer a free appetizer or 2 for 1, etc. Customer and prospects will join your list voluntarily AND they will pass the word on to friends and family so your list will grow quickly and you never have to ask anyone for their cell number. Combine this with your traditional marketing efforts and you will have more business than you can shake your proverbial stick at! Yes that's right warm prospects that will respond to your marketing dollars.
This is why it works so well for our clients:
Businesses that don’t keep up with this new advertising channel will lose ground quickly to the competition.
Where are you today with respect to the bottom line? Read on for some inspiration.
For example, one of our clients owns a restaurant and bar. On what would typically be a slow night they
decided earlier in the day they would broadcast a text message promotion offering a $5 bar tab to anyone who showed
their text message promo at the door. Not only did their promo bring in tons of their existing customers that night,
the viral effect of these patrons passing the message on to friends created a line wrapped around the building
of customers waiting to get in. So, what would normally be a slow night turned into the busiest night of the
year so far. Sound good? You bet it does.
Examples of how SMS marketing is used in real estate:
The way it works is you simply come up with an appealing special “offer” to give customers and prospects a
reason to want to “opt-in” or join your list. Use it to enhance your traditional advertising! (Key word - ENHANCE)
What Ideas do you have that would work for your situation?
