it is obvious that here is a market for any product you can imagine online. The problem is that we never seem to know where to get the clients or customers to buy our products.
Some time back, my daughter needed to buy a puppy. We went online and found a pet shop near our place. We quickly rushed to get her puppy and everyone was happy. Only to learn a few weeks later that there was a better pet shop in the area and we had been sold junk. The owner of the better pet shop agreed that he needed to find a better way to promote his product online.
It doesn’t matter what product it is, even chicken and convex mirrors have been sold online.
The most common way of promoting a new product involves the development of a new website or web page to showcase it. In both cases, the goal is to provide information about the product, capture attention, generate interest/desire and sales.
If you build a new website , it usually takes the form of a straightforward sales page and is hosted on an existing domain. Once it is developed, the sales page format can be extended into an informational site with a community built around the product.
It’s impossible to say what works for every product out there. So let’s avoid generalities and assume a specific scenario. Say your product is a new book and you want to promote it. Here are some of the common methods used:
- Method One – Set up a landing page for the book on your existing personal website or blog. A product page is also often created on the publisher’s website or a distributor like Amazon.com. This is usually a page with promotional blurbs or recommendations, along with a synopsis of the book and reviews from the press.
- Method Two – Buy a new domain name exactly similar or related to the book’s name and set up a website just for the book. This will include a blog where you can share knowledge by posting essays, articles related to current events or updates/news regarding the book. Press reviews, testimonials and author bios are included too.
From experience, the best option is to use both methods as much as you can.
