Your Customers Can't Place Orders… PLEASE Fix This!
I'm getting ready to head over to JV Alert in Atlanta,
where I'm going to give a 90-minute presentation on
Saturday.
My presentation will be on what has CHANGED in internet
marketing, and how that affects you.
The reason that I used the headline above is that if
you're unaware of those changes, then as high as 95% of
your prospective customers can't order from you.
In fact, MOST aren't even seeing your communications.
Let me explain please…
As someone who has been doing internet and emails
marketing since 1996, one of the biggest changes,
that I've noticed, is that email open rates are at an
all-time low. Some folks who track this closely report
OPEN rates as low as under 5%.
That means that if you have an email list of say…
20,000 then there's a good chance that only
1,000 of those subscribers even open your email. No
wonder email responses are down so much!
A bigger problem is that, depending upon your niche,
as high as 85% of your ideal customers are never even
on the internet via a computer.
FIVE times as many people currently access the net
via a smart device (iPhone, Android, iPad, or HTML5
compatible smart devices).
That means that unless your marketing is designed
to also reach mobile users, you're probably IGNORING
most of your potential customers.
I personally can't afford to do that. One of my best
sellers is a cookbook, and 90% of my sales will
occur between November 1st, and January 1st.
Those sales will be to people looking for traditional
holiday recipes, and for gifts suitable for anyone.
I know that my sales are seasonal, and that I have to
be very proactive in getting my customers' attention.
What I've done is have "an app" designed.
This app is downloaded to potential customers smart
phones, and from there they can:
- Visit my website
- Read my blog
- Visit my Facebook profile
- Visit my LinkedIn profile
- Visit my Twitter profile
- Order my cookbook right within the app
- Share photos of dishes they have cooked
- Subscribe to my newsletter
- Share the app with friend
- and do a dozen other things
Here's the BIG SECRET… or hard lesson, I learned when
having my app designed….
It fairly easy getting it into all of the app stores
EXCEPT for iTunes.
Apple is fairly picky and they like apps that take
advantage of native iPhone capabilities…
- Apps that give GPS guidance to a business address
- Apps that allow 1-touch phone calls
- Apps that allow customers to make reservations
from right within the app
- Apps with built in calculators (tip calculators,
mortgage calculators, calorie calculators, etc.)
Basically, Apple only wants to feature items in the
iTunes store that people are going to use more than
once… which makes sense.
Fortunately, I've put about 200 hours into researching
and TESTING what works in getting a great app designed,
created, approved, and then into the hands of a lot of
users.
THIS is one way that I'll emphasize internet marketers
need to be interacting with their customers more, when
I give my presentation on Saturday.
When most Americans leave their house… they grab their
wallet (or purse), car keys, and phone.
That means this is how they stay connected… and when
the get a text message, most read and respond to it
right away.
That's another capability built into my app. I can
not only build a subscriber list within the app…
I can also push an unlimited number of messages
directly to all of my subscribers.
As you can probably tell… I'm LOVING my app.
You probably also think that it's fairly expensive
to get a custom app developed.
It can be if you go with the wrong company. The hard
costs aren't actually that high, but since most business
owners don't know that, there are companies charging
$3000 – $5000 just to develop an app.
I had an internet marketing friend pay $5000 to have
one developed a little over a year ago.
After you get the app developed, you also need it
hosted. This is how it gets connected to the system,
so that you can communicate with the app, push
content out to users, and update the app from time
to time.
Some companies are charging $99 or more per month for
hosting.
I connected with the largest apps developer in the
country, and with the help of several VERY wealthy
friends/investors, managed to negotiate… and get my app
at a very affordable fee.
That's actually why I'm sending you this LONG note.
I wanted to let you in on the deal.
I'm also going to let attendees at JV Alert in on
the deal… it's what I'll be offering from stage
after I finish my presentation. So, you're getting a
sneak peak, and a very special offer.
For the next 24 hours, until Noon Central Standard
Time, on Thursday, November 3rd, you can have my
team design a custom apps package for you at a crazy
LOW price.
The apps package will include:
iPhone
iPad
Android
and… HTML5 Compatible Devices
I'll talk with you about what you want to accomplish,
have my team design the app, make any change that
you want, submit it to the app stores, and show you
how to get a LOT of people downloading and sharing
your app.
I'll do all this for only $495, plus the $49.95
monthly hosting fee. This offer is ONLY good
until noon Thursday. After that, you can still get
the package, but it will be higher priced.
I'm looking at offering this package at $997 (plus
monthly hosting), to local business owners who are
my main focus. All restaurants, night clubs, lawyers,
doctors, and other professionals need an app more
than they need the yellow pages!
To take advantage of this special, simply go here
and place your order:

After you place the order, I'll set up a time to
discuss your app 1-on-1 with you. I want to make
sure that I know exactly what you want it to
accomplish, and I'll also take a look at your
website, to make sure that your marketing efforts
are cohesive.
After you place the order, you can contact me
at any time via email at: willie.crawford@gmail.com
PLEASE make your subject "App Customer."
You'll also be able to contact me via phone or
text message.
Depending upon the complexity of your app, my team
can turn it around in as little as 2-day, although
you should use a week as a planning factor.
Go ahead and lock in your order now:

Let's put you in touch with the 85-95% of your
potential customers that you have been ignoring.
You competitors, who are still ignoring them, won't
have a clue
