Cross Channel Advertising is the 21st Century art of combining a wide range of marketing mediums into one cohesive strategy. There are several software solutions on the market that handle different aspects of Cross Channel Advertising, but until recently there was not a single one that could integrate all the relevant aspects of advertising, marketing and merchandising.
These days customers can be reached via a wide range of different media channels and retailers must make sure that they extend the reach of their promotions across all of them while maintaining consistent messaging. Additionally, Cross Channel Advertising systems need to be completely independent of the print house used by the retailer. Achieving these goals will provide retailers with significant cost savings and allow them to immediately change ad sizes and formats according to the most updated channel demands.
Universal Ad has developed an integrated system to meet all cross channel advertising needs so that on demand creation of a much larger number of versioned ads is now finally possible. Their On Demand Promotions Suite includes the following channel components:

• Cross Channel Advertising with PageAd Builder and CatalogAd Builder – the traditional print channel, which includes inserts (FSIs), circulars, catalogs and daily newspaper ads, is the mainstay of retail promotional advertising.

• Cross Channel Advertising with DigitalAd Builder – digital ad distribution provides significant flexibility in quickly producing highly detailed retail promotions.
• Cross Channel Advertising with WebAd Builder – the importance of this aspect of cross channel advertising continues to rise so that promotions created for all other advertising channels must be kept in synch with those appearing on a retailer’s web site.
• Cross Channel Advertising with StoreAd Builder – once a customer sees promotional advertising outside the retailer’s domain, they then visit the store where specific materials such as flyers, coupons, posters, displays, and shelf ads must reinforce the marketing message to ensure that purchases will follow.

Cross Channel Advertising has been around for a long time but is only now coming into its own. Today small, medium and large retailers finally have a solution available to them that can manage all aspects of marketing, advertising and promotions in the most streamlined and efficient method possible.

Most business leaders don’t know how to structure their sales organizations or even themselves for maximum productivity. They don’t know how to change, adapt and re-organize for new stages of growth. Whether you are a one-person army or a large-scale sales force, you can learn and leverage my golden secrets to super sales mastery.

I first learned the secrets to building precision sales organizations while working for billionaire businessman, Charlie Munger. I doubled the sales of the first company given to me in just 15 months. The second company I doubled in just 12 months. Several of the companies I took over, I doubled two and three years in a row. Here’s how…

How to Increase Productivity & Double Your Sales

In most sales organizations, the sales are ad-hoc. Everyone’s running around doing what they think is best. Management sets very little standards of performance.

If you want to achieve maximum productivity and double your sales in less than 12 to 15 months, you must think like a scientist. You must plan of every aspect of your sales process down to the smallest detail.

Here Are My Top Ideas to Help You Create Your Step-By-Step Battle Plan for Sales Success:

1. Prospecting Stage

Do you have minimum standards for the types of accounts your salespeople should go after? Does every rep have some “dream clients” they chase constantly and relentlessly? What is the minimal size accounts should your reps be going after?

Did you establish the minimum number of accounts your team will go after (per rep)? How much time each day is going to be dedicated to this effort? Did you set a minimum amount of rejections your team will face per client? Make sure you include in your battle plan what your sales reps should do after each rejection and how this process is going to be monitored? If you don’t set standards here, 52% of all salespeople will give up after a single rejection. Yet studies show it takes 8.4 rejections today to get the client to at least meet you.

What will be your sales reps first approach? The second? The Third? What do you say if you get the prospect on the phone right away? What are your procedures for getting around gatekeepers and assistants?

2. The sales call.

What are your sales reps going to present? What are the top five strategic objectives you want to achieve from every interaction with every buyer? What and how many questions are they going to ask? How will your reps own personal credibility?

The sales call is a terrific strategy 99.9% o companies never address on purpose. Have you seriously sat down and talked about the sales call and planned out each aspect? Did you practice it, role-play it and polish it to a fine luster? Are you leaving nothing to chance?

For every company I work with, I make them plan every inch of the sales call. I tell my clients to think of sales like a war. Marketing with direct mail, advertising, trade shows and Internet Marketing are like your long range bombing. They soften the market and make it more receptive.

Your salespeople are your foot soldiers. When they get into hand-do-hand combat, how well do you want them trained? How many scenarios do you want to address in advance? By perfecting every aspect of the sales phone call, my clients slaughtered companies four tines their size!

3. The actual pitch for the product or service.

What’s your pre-emptive strategy to block competitors? What’s going to motivate your prospects to buy right now? Pretend you had to present to all your prospects all at once, what kind of experience would that be? Are you ready right now? If not, your sales process is sloppy.

Sorry, but it’s true. I plan out the sales opportunities to the letter. I know exactly what I’d say if you put all my prospects in a room all at once. Figure it out, then role-play it.

4. The offer.

Creating a compelling offer is an art form. Can you offer something for free that gets you deep into your clients’ world? Can you offer a free audit related to your type of product or service? Can you sweeten the inducement to buy with a bonus or free gift?

I have a client who recently added an MP3 Player to the offer and it increased his sales by 22% overnight. As a bonus, I give away spectacular additional training programs as an inducement to buy my primary offers.

Role-play your offer again and again until the reps do it with ease and complete comfort.

5. The follow up.

Now it’s time to continue the bonding process. In this stage you must recognize and plan your objectives after a sales interaction? Do you want to get referrals? Do you want to keep the client coming back again and again?

How are you going to build a bond? Did you get emails addresses? Can you open a relationship that is so worth having they can’t say no? What’s follow up step one, step two, step three and so on?

Train Your Sales Reps to Act More Like Top Producers

That said, the procedures, role-playing, constant training and working on your sales process and not just in it, can help even regular salespeople perform like top producers. If you’re not leading, you can’t close. There’s a war in today’s business world. It’s called sales. Ad, if you want to win the war and get more market share you must get yourself some true warriors. You need top producers.

Top producers respond perfectly to rejection by becoming more effective. They become more aggressive when someone is brushing them off. They’re more persuasive if someone isn’t buying.

Top Performers know that the sales process is a science. They understand that they must operate like scientists, constantly moving toward the sale. So start drilling down like a scientist each and every aspect of your sales process.

In dental advertising, one of the best ways that you can do to get more patients to come into your practice is via creative marketing. Remember that the most important goal that you should have in your practice is to get more patients to come to your doorstep. And this is something we focus specifically at our dental advertising website. Dental advertising can help you with this… but you need to be more creative in the way that you do it.

Why Creative Marketing?

The whole point of creative marketing in dental advertising is to have a different and a much more different approach in getting people to become your potential patients in your dental practice. Now, you can do this by sending letters in “unique” format (more on that later). Now, the first goal is to get our marketing piece opened. The first thing is that the recepient of the mail opens the envelope, or whatever it is that we’re sending them. Then the second goal is once we get them to open the envelope is we need them to read the letter, or whatever is inside of it. And finally, the third goal is we want the recepient become our patient. We want to get them to call us or get them to come to our office. So by using creative marketing, we can accomplish those goals easily!

The Effect Of Technology In Marketing

Now, what I mean by technology here is the development of E-mail. E-mail’s a big thing right? Some people are getting a hundred e-mails a day, while some of them are getting a thousand. And that’s a lot of pieces of what used to be the traditional “mail in the envelope”. And it has eliminated the amount of personal mail. I mean, when was the last time somebody wrote you a letter? We hardly even get birthday cards in hand-written form (we now usually get them through e-mails). What comes to our traditional mailboxes are just bills and junk, and we hardly find time to look at it anymore. So, with this, as e-mail has promoted the diminishing number of the traditional letters that get to our traditional mailboxes, it’s time that you get creative in your dental advertising! When you get creative, you catch your readers attention! You want to grab them in the back so that your letter doesn’t go to the pile, or to the bin and get it looked at on a Sunday when they go through the rest of their mail. And also you want to invoke the child-like curiosity of your recepients (just like Christmas, when you cant wait to open the packages because you’re excited to know what is inside of them). And we all get that envelope in the mail that has a pen in it, where you are just being compelled to open it because you know that there is a pen in there. So you know that the mailer is going to sell you a pen, but you just have to open it.

How Can You Be Creative?

In dental advertising, the way to be creative is just to use different kinds of stuff that you know will get the curiosity of your recepient. An example is the “message in a bottle”, where the message is literally put inside a bottle (and for sure the recepient couldn’t wait until the end of the week to open that kind of letter, right?). Another example is Mark Dolson’s Tube Mailer, wherein the letter is put inside a tube (now, if the tube showed up in your mailbox, could you let that go?). And then you can go for shiny envelopes, where there is a big probability that the recepient will put these on top of their pile of mail (because everytime you put more mail on top of a shiny envelope, tendency is it will fall again and cause the other letters to fall; and it also gets you to think that “Who would send me a bright, shiny envelope?”, and you’ll just wonder what’s inside of it and you’ll be compelled to open it! You can also send letters placed in silver platters, letters in hand-written fonts (like those of mass-produced mailer); among others. Just let your imagination run free!

Now you might say “I don’t have the time to keep creating new things…” or ” I don’t have the time to be creative…” or “I don’t have time to think about all of these stuff… so where am I going to come up with these ideas?”. The thing here in using this kind of approach in dental advertising is that you don’t have to create new marketing pieces; you can re-use the ones that you have already sent out. This means that you can use the same marketing pieces that you have sent out, but just in different forms. And also you want to be sure that your campaign contain multiple steps (you want as many steps as people will respond to). These steps may include expressing to them that they must have missed your mail (given that they haven’t replied yet to your mail) and that you’ll be going to send them another one. And what you want to do is put as many steps as you can just to have them respond. So, as an example, you can send out your first letter (you do it the way you do it, like say, you write it in a blue or black pen), and when you don’t get a response, you then send out another one… this time by using a red pen and put some more information on it (and it will also look like a new piece!).

And another important thing in this kind of dental advertising is that you don’t assume that your prospects have read your marketing… because its a big mistake that most of us make! You may say “I can’t mail that again because they already got it”. So with this you just assumed that they have already read your mail. Now, if they haven’t responded, you must assume that they either didn’t get it, haven’t read it, didn’t finish reading it, or they lost it! So you may inform them that “I sent you the information you requested a while back, and since I still haven’t heard from you, I assumed that you still haven’t gotten it, didn’t finish reading it, or that you must have lost it… so let me send you another one!” Sp you just shift your thinking that they still haven’t gotten it, therefore you must send it again. And as long as people are responding to it, keep sending it again and again!

So go for creative marketing in dental advertising, and who knows, you’ll keep sending in more patients to your practice than ever before!

One of the biggest benefits beyond the creativity is that ad agencies can save businesses money in the long run.
1. They have the ability to buy media in bulk at rates that a single business cannot obtain.
2. They are educated as to the best times and places to run ads to reach your target market, ultimately minimizing wasted spending.
3. They can help you fine tune your target market so that the message is designed to reach those you want to reach.
4. As your agent, they will let you send any media rep who calls on your business to them freeing up your time to focus it more where you need it…running your business.

They have many more benefits, but these are the ones on the top of my mind.
