The need - What is the main challenge of web marketing?
The main challenge is to find the most economical way to present your ad, article or other marketing stuff for really
"interested" prospects on the moment of
making decision to purchase. In other words, to catch buyers on the moment of readiness to buy, and redirect them to
your store or your
affiliation provider.
One of the ways to do that is to be on the first page rendered by search engine such as Google, Yahoo, etc'
for user's organic search, whether by promoting your website or by investing money on pay-per-click
campaign. Actually many of the web marketing approaches are targeted exactly toward that point,
because at the end of the day, no matter how good your marketing message is, if you can't bound it
with really interested buyer you probably not make any sales.
SEO and PPC are indeed promising and lay in the heart of web marketing, on some niches however,
to be on the first page when prospect click the right "key" words can be really expensive,
for example $10-$20 for one single click, which is 1%
of the number of clicks you need for single sale to occur based on a GOOD and OPTIMISTIC conversion rate of 1%.
Imagine that you could have a board where you can set ad to be presented in a known time-frames,
based on aggregated historical data about customers traffic. What if you could have a service
where you can make an immediate decision for presenting an ad for limited time-frame, based on data
about real time traffic and live discussions. What if you could have a service where you can
talk with customers and get to know them at the moment of shopping, like in a real-life situation
of seller and buyer. And finally imagine that you could have all this for much lower budget, with comparing
to alternatives and without competing with those that can bid much more then you can afford...
Rhizome Networks Mall was created to answer those needs.
