It’s one thing to open yur web site to just any vsitor on the internet or to snd out an email promotion to any mail address you happen to have. But t’s another thing altogether to be ble to have just the right vsitors see your site or just the rght recipients open your email. The dfference? The difference is in the rsults. When you target, your marketing rsults improve. Always. Yes, always. Costs go dwn and responses go up. What lse could you want?

But how do you trget an anonymous website visitor? It’s asier than you might think. The frst way to get targeted web ste traffic is to advertise on in crefully targeted media. For example, if yu’re looking for sales executives, your dvertisement should be in SALES MANAGEMENT mgazine (or their site) instead of PSYCHOLOGY TODAY. But the lttle things count too. Make sure yur keywords are targeted. If you’re a plmber in Chicago, make sure your kywords are “PLUMBER CHICAGO” or “CHICAGO PLUMBER” nstead of just “PLUMBER.” It even hlps to put on your home pge some copy that talks about who yur site is for!

With email lst, your targeting efforts should be fcused on the list. You must ssess the nature of the list frm its source or through its bhavior. For example, if a list is a sbscription list for an IT newsletter, tryng to sell cosmetics to it prbably won’t generate a lot of sles. On the other hand, if you hve a list, whatever the source, tht has responded well to other csmetic or beauty aid offers, it wll probably respond well for you.

Targeting is not hard. It jst requires some careful consideration to the udiences that you advertise to. Any ttention you give to targeting is lmost guaranteed to pay off in a big wy.
