Internet Marketing London - Britney’s Boys in B*Boy Underwear

The team at Internet Marketing London have been working closely with the guys at B*Boy Underwear to take advantage of the massive free exposure brought about by the male dancers on the latest Britney Spears tour sporting B*Boy Underwear throughout the show, sometimes cheekily showing underneath the jeans as seen above or as seen in the picture below, minus the jeans!

Needless to say we wanted to take advantage of this opportunity through internet marketing by not only bringing people’s attention to the fact but by also creating a bit of a buzz around it.  To date the Bboy Underwear website has already created a quite a stir and become very popular with certain target audiences in particular with girls and gay men as for as much as it is the ecommerce platform for the sale of B*Boy Mens Underwear it is also very creative in its display of very sexy men  (apparently!) showcasing the different styles of underwear that B*Boy produce.

In terms of the internet marketing strategy we took advantage of several social media marketing sites, blog and forum marketing to generate a lot of chatter and buzz around the B*Boy Underwear brand with both traffic to the site and sales conversions increasing by over 25%.  So a big Thank You to Britney for helping us out and for putting on a fantastic show when we caught it in London.

World renowned Stylist and Creative Director, B*Boy’s own William Baker, a name usually synonymous with Pop Princess Kylie Minogue, was delighted and honoured to work with Britney and Show Director Jamie King and team as Style Director and Costume Designer alongside some of the biggest names in fashion to deliver a sexy, slick and visually spectacular experience.

We commence by ensuring that you have clearly defined objectives in terms of the results you want to achieve through internet marketing and then we define the best marketing channels for your business to achieve them. Everything we do is performance-based and results-driven for succcess.

For example many businesses focus entirely on designing beautiful websites, only to discover that nobody can find their website wasting both time and money or develop email marketing campaigns that are so generic and untargeted that they achieve little or no response from the recipients. Our internet marketing strategic planning will not only ensure you are utilising the right marketing channels but that you get it right first time and get a qualified Return on Investment (ROI).

We develop targeted internet marketing campaigns that drive potential customers to your website using highly cost-effective methodology and everything we do is measured and anlysed to monitor effectiveness not just for performance but also for further enhancements.

Local London Internet Marketing

In almost all consumer business areas the online competition for high ranking organic and paid search  non-geographic keyword phrases is extremely high. Of course, you can achieve high rankings for generic keywords but if you are pursuing organic Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) as a strategy then you need to be patient for the results and put in a lot of work or pay someone else to do it for you and if you are utlising Paid Search then although the results are almost instantaneous you need to be prepared to pay a high Cost per Click (CPC) which depending on your conversion rate could end up being very expensive.

Therefore, if you want to compete for the generic non-geographic keywords whether you’re opting for a strategy of SEO or Paid Search or indeed both, you’ll need to be prepared to invest both time (either yours or someone elses) and money - you’re objectives, resources and budget will define exactly how much of both. That’s exactly what successful worldwide, nationwide or wholly online businesses targeting the most competitive non-geographic keywords have to do.

If however, you’re primarily an offline ‘bricks and mortar’ business that relies on footfall from your surrounding area and are by your very essence targeting a specific village, town, city or county then Local Search is defnitely the route you should be considering as your starting point. Afterall, if let’s say you’re a restaurant in Notting Hill, do you really need to be promoting yourself to people outside of London? Probably not, if potential customers were coming from outside London on business or for a holiday and they wanted to find a restaurant online then they’d most likely search for something like a ‘restaurant in notting hill’. So on that basis you’d definitely want to promote yourself geographically for the search term Notting Hill but then you may also want to expand your Search Engine Marketing (SEM) whether SEO or Paid Seartch to include nearby villages like Kensington and Westborune Grove, maybe West London or perhaps even London as a whole. Either way, if you’re limited on budget and resource you stand a much greater chance of success by localising your SEM.

I’ll use a client case study and SEO to demonstrate this further.  The client is called Beautcamp Pilates and they’re credited with bringing reformer pilates over to London from LA. Their business is extremely successful due to their professionalism and quality of service and they have large studios in both East and West London. As with many ‘first movers’ that are successful you get a lot of competition surfacing after the event all playing catch-up, all searching for a piece of that success and competition is good thing so long as it is ethical…

Making sense of the online sales process

Would you build a great shop, fill it with great products, promote it to drive traffic in and then not hire any sales people? Would you expect those customers to choose products and buy them on their own? If your website doesn’t deploy persuasive or proactive selling techniques then that’s exactly what’s happening!

Whether in the B2B or B2C all succesful online selling essentially follows the same system, a 5 step system just like with the marketing process AIDCA (Attention, Interest, Desire, Conviction and Action) I mentioned in a previous post - sadly the sales 5 step process doesn’t have a nice and easy to remember acronym like AIDCA but involves the following steps:

  1. PROSPECT
  2. RAPPORT
  3. QUALIFY
  4. PRESENT
  5. CLOSE

It’s also worth noting that these steps are not necessarily sequential as feedback should be taken from each to influence the others whilst moving towards the final objective which is the close. I also refer to this in the online arena as persuasive architecture as that is exactly what you are doing you are designing, building and structuring your website to PERSUADE a visitor to complete an action.
