Strategic Cross Media Roadmaps- Everything in marketing communications has changed. Old tactics no longer apply. New approach strategies should be adopted. For those that do, new levels of revenue conversions and customer rapport await. For those seeking to rewrite their cross media marketing plan here are some core points to get the updated roadmap in gear.
2. Marketing & Raising The Bar
Marketing in 2014 should be able to-
Have increased impact on revenue conversions
Reduce the cost associated with customer conversions
Establish higher levels of rapport with prospects and
customers
4. A Changing World ???
Media is in a state of shift.
Consumer behavior has
changed.
Companies of any size can
now afford powerful
marketing interactive
technologies.
What’s the plan, what’s the
sequence?

5. Simply Put…
Everything has changed, old tactics no longer apply…
(or at least old tactics don’t work as well as they used to)
New approach strategies must be developed if
organizations wish to thrive
6. For starters- all media should include
“Landing Page” options more often than not
It’s the first step in building more
“connect and engage” relationships
7. Why Landing Pages?
Landing pages, whether viewed on the web or via
mobile devices gives the marketer a much wider
array of interaction opportunities
8. What’s meant by an interaction?
Interactions may be purchases or they may be more passive
forms of engagement such as-
Download, follow, share, register
In many instances it may include a response in the form of an
answer to a one question survey
This “voice of customer data” can have a huge impact on your future
message and follow up strategies
9. Landing Pages work in your favor
Because consumers today are 7x more likely to prefer
a digital form of response vs. traditional forms of
response such as like business reply mail or call
center discussions
10. Played Right
It gives the marketer a lot more ammunition to at least
start some form of engagement instead of the prospect
being forced to make a buy, or no-buy decision on the spot
After all, 99 times out of 100 we’re not ready to buy at any
specific moment in time, except in the instances when
we’re actively searching
11. It’s all captureable
(even though that’s not a word)
This capture-ability is kind of like gaining the
“voice of the customer”
For innovative marketers instances of increased
dialogue and activity capture abound
13. If you can tag it, today’s affordable marketing technology systems
can deliver an unlimited array of multi-touch relevant messages
This gives you the ability to warm up more opportunities, whether marketing seals the
deal or passes better prospects onto sales.
Plus you can deliver follow through messaging
in the media format of your prospect’s preference.
14. It’s kind of like having a sales staff that works
24/7/365,
just not as costly.
15. Start modestly, but if you ever needed more cowbell
you could have it at your fingertips.
