Atlanta Marketing Consultants Meets With Local Business Owners

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
(Free-Press-Release.com) March 19, 2010 -- Atlanta Marketing Consultants.com attended a networking meeting today with local business owners. The room was full of great people who were all very passionate about their business. It was great to feel such energy in the room.

One thing that Atlanta Marketing Consultants.com was pleased to see was that many off line businesses are becoming more aware of the importance of building an online presence. They are really starting to see that an online presence builds traffic and gets them more customers.

When the Atlanta Marketing Consultants team left the meeting we had many business cards and almost all the cards had a website!!!! After the meeting the Atlanta Marketing Consultant team began going through the cards and checking out the websites. There were all kinds of sites! Some were not so good, others we actually outstanding.

Atlanta Marketing Consultants was impressed on how many sites were ranking highly on Google in their local area. Many of the sites also looked very professional and were pleasing to the eye.

However, Atlanta Marketing Consultants saw a major flaw! Almost no one had an opt in box!!! This is a real shame because so many people got up and gave a great little speech with awesome tag lines and deals to entice potential customers. If only these companies would have used these techniques on there website, Atlanta Marketing Consultants is convinced they would build a huge list of interest prospects.

Now before we go any further you maybe thinking what the heck is an Opt In box? Well if you look over and see our “Free Download of the 7 mistakes that keep local businesses in jeopardy” you now know what an opt in box is. Why is it so valuable? Atlanta Marketing Consultants could go on all day about the importance of an opt in box but instead will give you our top 3 reason:

1. An opt in box allows you to give your customer a sneak peak of the value of your business. Most opt in boxes usually give something really cool away on the other side. When a prospect opts in they usually get informative lessons on something they are interested in, sometimes they get free product or an irresistible special. If it is done right most of the time the customer is impressed and wants to keep checking out your site. The prospects also begin to think if what they give away is so wonderful, what kind of value would I get if I actually paid for a product?

2. An opt in box allows you to build a list!!! Most people understand the value of a list or database. A list allows businesses to stay in touch with customers and potential customers when they have special events or are offering great deals.

3. An Opt in box is the start of the auto responder series for people who understand internet marketing. Now that you have a prospects e-mail you can stay in touch with them on autopilot. If done correctly the business owner loves it and so does the prospect.
