{Improved ROI, Low Cost – Thanks SEO!
How will you spend your marketing dollars in 2012? If you are in-line with Fortune 500 companies, then your spending will shift to social media, SEO, an increase in funding for your email marketing campaigns and the addition of mobile marketing. Does this mean abandon your print marketing and direct mail completely? That answer will depend on how your 2010-11 numbers have been doing. If print and direct mail have been working, then keep them, but by 2013 you may feel a little left behind as these methods are being antiquated by a push to all-web-campaigns. Low cost, maximize results; that’s what internet-based marketing campaigns provide and that means tighter cost control, improved ROI and increased efficiency.
SEO and Mobile SEO is King
What will be the driving trends in 2012? In this tumultuous economy, consumers now treat the internet as a staple utility and cable television as a luxury. This points to television advertising campaigns dropping and those funds being put into better SEO for online campaigns. The same is true for B2B. If you want to reach someone nowadays, the best way to do that is through online means. Websites, emails, texts; they reach your customers in their home, their car, and the office. Web-based campaigns also produce faster results that are easy to quantify directly.
In 2012 more advertising dollars will be spent on social media marketing than ever before. Why social? The biggest reason for increasing social media marketing budgets is the near eradication of lost opportunities. The internet is on 24/7 and if you are a B2C or B2B, your customers are online. With the right SEO, web presence and social media campaign, your customers will always be able to find you or find out about you. No other type of marketing makes that possible.
Proven Results? Yes, Please.
Expanding social media and digital marketing in 2012 means ditching print and spending on amazing SEO – this means SEO with proven results. This means, not SEO that is from a fly-by-night, but from a professional SEO company that knows how to integrate SEO with social media and has developed strategies that produce measurable ROI, increased traffic and lead generation. Marketers are aligning their objectives and allocating their dollars with high powered SEO because social marketing and SEO have become so tightly woven that they are now inseparable.
Print marketing is nearly extinct and with new marketing tactics in mobile search and organic placement, SEO has become the new go-to venue. In-house SEO can no longer sustain the demand in 2012. Only a professional SEO business has the ability to execute the mid-sized and large-scale campaigns that will be needed to compete in the upcoming year. If there was any question of how much to allocate to SEO, web and social media, then a good guide would be over 50% for 2012 and 15% more than that in 2013 with the addition of video campaigns.

2011Jayeff Construction Management & Development Corp. Taps CMDS to Expand Presence Online and Drive Awareness
Manasquan & Middletown, NJ (March 30, 2011) – Jayeff President Tom Karagianakis knows the power of a well designed and optimized website.

Mulvaney also points out that this is where corporate buyers first go to do their research. “You have to go where they eyeballs are,” said Mulvaney.

2011Middletown, NJ (March 17, 2011) – In today’s fast moving world of social media, it’s critical that organizations learn the essentials of how to improve the quantity and quality of visitors to their websites, blogs and social media sites. In response to this need, CMDS of Middletown, NJ, which specializes in Internet marketing services and web design, is offering a free white paper titled Learn to Better Maximize Your Organization’s Website Traffic.
The white paper, which can be downloaded from the CMDS website at www.cmdsonline.com, offers key agency secrets and best practices to drive quality traffic for any organization with tips that make the process more manageable and easy-to-understand.
Chris Mulvaney, CEO of CMDS has seen the request for information on this topic explode during the past year. “It’s become increasingly clear that more and more marketers are looking to drive traffic to their websites as a result of increasing competition for online share-of-mind and revenue. The problem, however, is that many aren’t even sure of where to begin.”
Mulvaney noted that, combined with the fact that 87 percent of Americans now use social media (Harris Poll, 2010), and have more vehicles to enjoy it more often (such as the iPad, smart phones, etc.), this need is growing, and often overwhelms marketers.
Since 2001, CMDS has formulated a successful approach to online marketing that incorporates three key elements. The company offers website design to help clients attract customers with a sleek web site that’s striking and engaging.

They are also a PPC (Pay-Per-Click) management company that creates captivating ads that are rich in calls to action.
“We hope that this white paper helps business leaders understand what it takes to have a more viable online presence,” said Mulvaney. “Too many are unnecessarily intimidated by the amount of social marketing vehicles available to them, and how to best use them to grow their business.”
To date, CMDS has built its business around the consumer packaged goods, real estate, construction and healthcare industries.

2011Outside agencies, including those for internet marketing services, are used for the day-to-day operations of many successful businesses, and for good reason.
The internet is a microcosm of business evolution. In the past companies opted to keep everything in house, including sales, marketing and production. Fast forward to today, we know this model is going by the wayside in favor of specialized teams and streamlined approaches to maximize efficiency and profit. This was a harbinger of things to come in the internet marketing services space as industries today realize the web is another key facet to their business plans, and not something that can be seen as trivial or dismissed.
CMDS is a company synonymous with excellence as they have put proprietary systems in place to fast track a website’s success online. With over a decade of experience and a CEO whom has given seminars on different social mediums, the agency has revolutionized the natural synergy between function and design. “When a client tells me they need a website, we help them visualize what they need, and make it a reality. Then, of course they want website traffic. This is where our winning combination of design and marketing combines to leverage the greatest ROI for small, medium, and large enterprises,” says Chris Mulvaney CEO of CMDS.
For some the idea of outsourcing work is scary or worse, frowned upon. As business leaders today, one must see the forest through the trees and realize just about every successful business ever built relies on outside agencies for its day-to-day operations. Whether you run a recycling plant, or a services company, tasks can be broken down to their smallest denominator and quantified, which then allows for it to be scaled and measurable. The same is true for internet marketing services. With an experienced agency, tracking budget and goals is a science. With today’s tracking features of analytics for organic search engine optimization, pay per click (ppc), and social media, companies such as CMDS take the guess work out of marketing and replace it with facts, reporting, and lead conversion science.
Delegating is sign of a true leader; ones who fail at this skill set are doomed for ultimate failure in the business world. The ability to let go of complete control in favor of team members or outside agencies is the only real way to effectively conduct business. You wouldn’t want to have to build your own house, furnish it and sell it; you would want contractors and real estate agents. Without proper systems in place nothing is scalable and your business growth will suffer.
Scalability is not just a buzz word; it’s tantamount to growing a business. If you keep everything in house you will need to either hire more workers which takes time, or develop key business relationships that enable you to focus on growing your business, instead of daily tasks and marketing. Some businesses choose to remain small businesses, while the intrepid entrepreneurs see growth by diversifying, delegating, and outsourcing their online marketing efforts in able to focus on the big picture – increasing revenue and running the business.

2011Virtually all businesses will have the internal struggle to keep business components inhouse or outsource them to an agency. While many tasks are best kept inhouse, there is a growing trend in the industry to use trusted companies to streamline business and focus on revenue generating activities such as sales and customer retention.
Marketing online is an ideal facet to outsource with a proven full marketing solutions company. One tantamount argument is you get to remain hands off the process while your marketing tasks are still accomplished which frees up valuable time to actually do what you do best – run your business. Wearing too many hats can cause you to become a jack of all trades and master of none, while your sales and marketing suffer.
ROI. Companies are beginning to realize it’s simply cheaper to use an outside agency to manage the budget. When outsourcing you don’t have to directly cover any one particular persons salary and are able to reap the benefits of the extra wages in the form of services provided. Alternatively if you attempt to keep this service inhouse, you have to train a new employee, or hire one. This person would then either need a budget and the know how equivalent to the entire Internet Marketing Services company, as well as loyalty to the company.
“We have seen a paradigm shift in how businesses are approaching online marketing. At first companies tried to keep everything inhouse to maximize profit, but soon realized they had to pay salaries as well as additional budget funds just for results. CMDS Online has been around for over a decade and immediately helps these companies from worrying about training, budget allocation, and results. There’s a reason your landscaper isn’t also your lawyer. Sometimes its best to keep things separate, streamlined and accountable, and that’s what providing a great marketing plan is all about.” – Chris Mulvaney CEO CMDS
Loyalty. With employees spending less time on average at their respective companies it’s also a huge risk and investment for companies to hire a single employee or even group to manage their tasks. What happens when these employees leave? They leave their knowledge as well as marketing plans in limbo.
Many hands make light work. This old Chinese proverb is cliché but a trenchant reminder of the power behind numbers. Keeping services inhouse means relying on one or two individuals for your marketing needs. By outsourcing to an agency you can leverage a dozen people to the previous two without incurring additional costs due to their assembly line systematic approach to marketing.
The industrial revolution was a harbinger of things to come. Companies attempting to literally do everything were quickly replaced with the mindset of specializations, assembly lines, and synergies. This is a fundamental principle followed by business leaders today. Simply do what you do best, and outsource the rest to someone or an internet marketing services agency that can do it better. There are less costs associated and more value. It’s the ultimate version of the free market system that is a tried and true method.

2011Synergies exist throughout the world. Peanut butter and jelly, Bonnie and Clyde, Caramel and Apples, and Web Design and Internet Marketing Services. With the continued growth of online businesses, many retail owners are turning to a one stop shop for all their internet marketing services, from website creation, optimization, and traffic generation.
Becoming a success online is a daunting task, which is why many turn to companies with a proven track record and experience – “Website owners want a beautiful, streamlined design, but after we build it there is still the task at hand of obtaining quality traffic that converts into leads and ultimately sales. The design and marketing are so closely interrelated that the majority of our clients today are seeking online marketing in addition to a world class website”, Chris Mulvaney, owner of CMDS.
There are clear advantages to keeping everything under one roof: less management time wasted, accountability, and of course streamlining the natural synergies between your actual website and your internet marketing efforts. Not all websites can be marketed the same. For instance, a flashy website targeting mobile users may be best suited for social media websites, with social plugins installed directly into the website, whereas a finance services company would opt for more traditional online mediums such as Search Engine Optimization and PPC (Pay Per Click) in order to get laser targeted leads related to their industry.
If you were to create a website design without the internet marketing services incorporated you might fall victim to throwing the kitchen sink on your website. Suddenly your professional, financial services company is littered with social media at the forefront, rather than ancillary positions where it belongs in your hierarchy of marketing needs. Or you create an overly professional website for a new energy drink, missing the boat on social media and your target demographic. By combining both schools of thought, design and marketing under one roof, CMDS has streamlined the process and allowed businessmen and women to get back to what they do best – running their businesses, while Chris Mulvaney and his team of world renowned designers and internet marketers deliver leads and formulate long term growth strategies.
CMDS company has hundreds of clients in the Tri State area, but because of the nature of the internet, their services are now available nationwide. It’s important to select your future agency with care, as this partnership relationship can mean the difference between failure and hating the internet, and embracing new technologies while you watch your sales grow year after year. Before contacting a company it’s best to map out your ideal website in your head and perhaps paper, as well as your goals. The professionals at internet marketing services firm CMDS will surely help guide you through your vision and see your dream turn into a reality. Functional design and internet marketing is a winning combination; intrepid entrepreneurs taking the plunge online will be reaping the benefits while their brick and mortar counterparts are left in the past and out of business.

2011Although the internet is nearly ubiquitous in every household many small to medium size business owners are skeptical of online marketing or don’t want anything to do with it. Fortunately, one company is making this transition of marketing funds less painful – CMDS.
CMDS is positioned in New Jersey as the premiere web design and full internet marketing services agency. Owner Chris Mulvaney remembers the real mental barriers to entrance his clients face; “one client claimed he hated the internet and only was building a website because his kids were begging him. One year later and he has shifted all his traditional marketing budgets [newspaper, yellow pages] over to CMDS as we continue to deliver quality leads that simply convert. People are naturally skeptical but there is a lot of money to be made online.”
Skeptics and doubters point to the dot com bubble boom as proof the internet is a fad, or simply a medium to be ignored. With facebook valued over fifty billion dollars this is clearly a tale of sour grapes. On the flip side, there are agencies that are a dime a dozen promising great results, unlimited traffic, and the best web design. It’s a sea of agencies, but ones such as CMDS which has been around for over a decade shows that experience and a growing client base speaks for itself.
There are a myriad of steps one must follow in the process. An owner should decide if they want a new website, renovate an existing one, and identify their online marketing goals. Keeping all these facets under one roof is the best option to streamline the process and eliminate unproductive time management.
An agency will also aid in the decision process of where to spend the money for the best ROI (Return On Investment). Many companies will blindly put money into social media but would be better off with pay per click Google Adwords in conjunction with an SEO (Search Engine Optimization) campaign. Alternatively, social media is a chance for a company to go viral, but a good internet marketing Services Company will see the opportunities based on budget, target market and goals.
Communication is the key ingredient to any successful partnership. Many agencies will simply make the sale and never care to listen to your goals or concerns. Agencies such as CMDS have an extremely thorough checklist style approach to the client’s needs: website layout, amount of pages, search engine traffic, target market, budget, near term goals, short term goals, conversion tracking, optimizations and stretch goals.
If you own a business and you aren’t online, you are simply leaving money on the table. Brick and mortar only setup may work in the interim, but for the near to long term you will be missing out on countless brand awareness opportunities, as well as laser targeted sales traffic. Statistics show ecommerce sales are exponentially increasing, while many consumers choose to shop from the convenience of home or through their smart phones. Success online isn’t easy, but with the right partnership, such as CMDS, internet marketing services and web design isn’t so scary after all.
