Help with my marketing budget

[lisastorey]

Hi, I am trying to get more visitors to our website and have already tried Adwords and a press release submission service.

I have a very small budget (less than £200) but am willing to spend it.

Any advice on getting the best return for this money would be really appriecated.

Thanks
Lisa :D

Hi Lisa,
A good way to spread the word is to partake in a number of forums with a good catchy signature for your message. Don't spam forums, just network with people. I think your service will be of use afterall!

Hi Lisa

I have just set up an online network to promote small businesses - Affinity Trading Network. Membership is only £49 and for that you get a full profile page about your business. So it is a good way to boost your online exposure and promote your services without spending too much money.

There are lots of marketing and PR tips in the resources section on our site.

Good luck with your promotion

All the Best

Hi Lisa,

One thing to try is optimising your website for search engines and search engine visitors.

By ensuring your website is optimised not only for search engines, but also the main words people use in search engines to find businesses such as yours, it can significantly drive traffic and targeted visitors to your site.

For example your title is 'The automated page monitoring service just for you' - but if you check out these words and phrases you will find out that these are not searched upon very often - whereas 'Web site Monitoring' is searched upon approx. 400 times a week. By adding or replacing to 'Web Site Monitoring' in the title tag you will be targeting a more specific and more popular keyword.

Hope this helps,
