Before trying to define the term of eMarketing (or electronic marketing, so to speak), we should first take a look at the premises of its apparition and development. The theories concerning eMarketing have not been unified yet, due to a large diversity in specialists' opinions. Still, one of the aspects that is established and has ceased being discussed in contradictory, is the fact that electronic marketing first appeared under the form of various techniques used by companies distributing their products through online channels (Internet - based). That happened back in the pioneering age before 1995. These companies that opened the road were called "e-tailers", as opposed to the traditional retailers (also known as "brick-and-mortar" retailers)....

'Hype' is now an often used slang word which is short for 'Hyperbole', pronounced 'Hy - per - bul - ee', with the accent on the 'per' (not 'hyperbole' as in 'super - bowl'). The dictionary definition of hyperbole is: Poetic or rhetorical overstatement; exaggeration', but it has now taken on a definite negative meaning, especially when used in marketing and advertising. Let's face, consumers in today's 21st century western world are 'advertised' nearly to death. The average person is exposed to hundreds of advertising and marketing messages every single day. If they responded to them all, they would have little time for anything else. And, today, more than ever before, time is money. Like the 'boy who cried wolf' today's consumers have developed an aligator-like skin to protect them from this bombardment of product and service claims....

If you could get your prospective customers nodding their heads in agreement with every major point in your sales copy, that would be likely to increase your sales, wouldn't it?

Did you find yourself agreeing with the last two questions? You've just experienced a sales technique called "tie-downs."

Westerners believe opposites flow in a natural cycle always replacing the other. They tend to look at things as black or white, right or wrong, up or down, giving a separation and unrelated-ness in their perspective. Chinese view opposites as evolving and cycling. There is neither right nor wrong, but rather there is balance, transformation, interaction and a dependent opposition. Think of it as a duality that cannot exist without both parts. Now let's apply this theory to Internet Marketing. When I first came online I subscribed to many Ezines and Newsletters and didn't always pay attention to the ads, but I did read the articles and editorials. They were my "information hotlines"...

Every quarter, I receive something special from the gardening magazine to which I subscribe: a packet of seeds or a ten page booklet on bird calls or a pair of knee pads for getting down and NOT dirty in my garden. My cheese service surprises me with a hunk of Gouda, a quality merlot with one third off, a discount coupon to be used by a certain date. The result? I buy more cheese and wine than I should, and I've extended my Gardening magazine subscription to 2010. Gifts and bonuses pay off: increased sales, and the opportunity to sell more pricy offers to customers who know and trust you. Here are several suggestions of ways and wherefores for bonuses in your marketing....

#1 ~Look at your past customers~ Notice trends in the type of clients you attract and pay particular attention to the ones who provoke you to be our best. How do you feel when you get off a call with a client who's "got it together"...Great, right? What about the client who's a real downer? The phone rings and you glance at the caller id. Ugh! Not her AGAIN! I'd rather stick my hand thru the paper shredder than answer the phone. (LOL, we've all been there!) Remember the tolerations from unpleasant encounters and be sure not to allow them into your newly formed target market. #2 ~Think about ideal future prospects~ Make up an imaginary customer.
