What Happened? Troubleshooting Poor Response from Ad Campaigns
Copyright 2004 Diane Hughes

«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

Too many small business owners today run ad campaigns
that get little to no results, and they have no idea why.
When you have the knowledge to troubleshoot the poor responses,
you also have the knowledge to make the needed changes
so that - next time - your sales improve! Let’s take a look at
the breakdown of an ad campaign, and how to determine what went wrong.


Response vs. Results

It’s important to understand the difference between response rate
and results. When a customer takes the action you want him/her to take
(i.e., clicking to your site, calling your 800 number, etc.), then
you’ve achieved "response." This does NOT mean you’ve made a sale.
The response rate of your ad campaign can be high without
ever selling one product or service.

"Results," on the other hand, are the sales you make in conjunction
with the response rate. When a customer takes the action you want
him/her to take AND buys your product/service, then you’ve achieved results.


No Response

When you get little to no response, chances are that
one of two things happened. One - your ad was poorly
written and didn’t generate enough interest to excite
the customer to take action; or two - the ad didn’t reach
your preferred target customer.

How do you determine which one is the culprit? Test!
Use the same ad, but place it in a different ezine or on
a different Web site. If response rate improves, you know
the ad is most likely fine, but the audience exposure was off.
If the response rate does not improve, it’s probably best
to rewrite the headline, the ad, or both.


Response But No Results

If you run an ezine ad, banner ad, etc., and get responses
without making any sales, the most probable theory is that
your supporting ad copy or offer is not doing its job. Ezine ads,
banner ads, and the like will never make a sale on their own.
The customer is almost always going to be directed to click back
to your Web site. If the copy/design of your ad is working,
but no sales are being made, take a good look at the copy
or design of your site. Chances are that *it* could be costing you sales.

Again, testing is the key. Change a headline, add links that
direct to "more information" pages, and so on. Run the ad again,
and see if your results improve.

You’ll notice that in either case, testing is the recommended
course of action. So many small business owners get in a hurry
and neglect to test their ads. While it may seem costly to run an ad,
change an ad, and run it again - the truth is that running
unproven ads all across the ‘Net without gaining any return
on investment (ROI) is a huge waste of money.

Yes, it does take a good deal of time. Yes, it can cost additional money.
However, once you’ve taken the time to test an ad, and the copy
on the supporting Web site that customers will be directed to,
you’ll be in a much better position to ensure consistent sales from your campaigns.

5.) HOT BIZ*TIP
_____________________

Freeze Ups

No, we're not talking about the weather (although it is getting a
bit colder in NJ these days) but about your computer.

Typically, I have 5 or 6 programs minimized, in addition to the
one I am currently using. When your computer freezes up on you,
it is usually because you have too many things running at the
same time.

Don't forget that in addition to the programs that YOU start,
there are also programs that automatically start when you start
your computer (boot time).

I keep the number of programs that start when I "boot" to a
minimum. When you install new programs, many times they will
automatically add themselves to your start menu. Try right
clicking on the icon for a program that does start automatically
and close it. If this seems to solve your problems, remove it
from the Start Menu. If you have an anti-virus program that
automatically starts - DO NOT close that one.

If it doesn't solve your problem, you may wish to consider adding
more memory to your system, or getting along with fewer
applications running at the same time.
