Adapted from direct marketing

Direct marketing concepts have been around since the 60s, and
may be more readily understood by some customers than some of
the arcane terminology sometimes associated with SEO/SEM. Here
are some ideas on how to link search marketing and direct
marketing concepts. 1. Targeting & Segmentation A central theme
of direct marketing is targeting. On broadcast television,
advertisers show the one advertisement to many people, and hope
it will be relevant to a small fraction of that audience. Most
television advertising messages are wasted on people who aren't
interested in those messages.
It’s a scattergun, largely untargeted approach. Search
marketing, a form of direct marketing, is targeted. Search
marketers target their audience based on the specific keywords
the audience use. Search marketing is concerned with the most
likely prospects - a small fraction of the total audience.
Further, if we analyse the Phone Number Data

visitor behavior of
people using specific keyword terms post-click, we can find out
who are the hottest prospects amongst that narrowly defined
group. The widely accepted 20-80 rule says that 20% of your.

Customers create 80% of your business. An example might be
"luxury vacations France", as opposed to "vacations France". If
we have higher margins on luxury travel, then segmenting to
focus on the frequent luxury travel buyer, as opposed to a less
frequent economy buyer whom we still might sell to, but at lower
margins, might be more in line with business objectives.
Defining, and refining, keyword terms can help us segment the
target market. 2. Focus Once you get a search visitor to your
site, what happens next? They start reading. Such a specific
audience requires focused, detailed information, and a *lot* of
it, or they will click back. It is a mistake to pitch to an
"average" audience at this point.
