Customer Relationship Management software effectively implemented, provides business owners and management with an extremely powerful tool for bringing the front-office functions of sales, marketing and customer support together and working far more effectively as a combined team.

Many businesses think wrongly that a CRM solution is only for enterprise class concerns with large check books when in fact software providers such as Microsoft offer scaleable versions for all company sizes. Microsoft Dynamics Software has evolved from their enterprise class Great Plains software however versions have been developed and aimed specifically at the small and mid-range business market.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM v3.0 allows businesses to respond to the growing challenges in the modern business environment by bringing client and prospect information into a central repository, organizing the information and allowing users throughout the business to access the data when they need it. Microsoft Dynamics CRM v3.0 delivers the ability to manage the customer relationship throughout the entire sales cycle from initial enquiry in response to a marketing or sales campaign, through to pre-sales meetings, the actual sale and post sale issues such as delivery and repeat ordering.

Microsoft Dynamics software empowers every decision maker in your business to satisfy customer demands by providing the most up-to-date and accurate client information they need when they need it and ensure that the history of the relationship is encapsulated for all to share. Decision makers in this context need not necessarily be management but a customer service representative with a customer on the telephone asking about an order or information on your other products. All staff in contact with prospects and customers will be able to see at a glance what is happening with a particular account and in customer relations, knowledge is power. Customer relationship software provides everyone in your business with the ability to demonstrate an outstanding level of customer service not possible by traditional reporting methods.

The ability to integrate a customer relationship software solution with existing applications already employed by your business allows for the transfer of information between your word processor and spreadsheet applications and the CRM. Microsoft CRM software has been specifically designed with Microsoft Outlook and Office in mind, and allows a seamless user experience. Mobile workers reliant upon email are able to access Microsoft Dynamics CRM v3.0 via their Outlook client, while marketing and sales campaigns can use data imported from the Dynamics Suite directly into Microsoft Word and Excel applications for marketing campaigns and mail shots.

If your business has several office and site locations, it is still possible to implement a customer relationship software solution across the whole company. Microsoft Dynamics v3.0 is well adapted to be delivered to remote locations via Microsoft Terminal Services, Citrix and other “thin client” solutions. An example is where a business has a central warehousing facility in Detroit with sales offices in New York, San Francisco and Chicago and they all are able to utilise the customer relationship software solution almost in real-time.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM v3.0 benefits your business by saving time and costs, minimizing non-productive activity while maximizing sales revenue by ensuring that sales leads are followed up and do not get lost or “fall between the cracks”, while customer retention is improved by enhancing customer relations and service.

Email marketing is the most effective and efficient way to influence purchases and keep customers informed and happy. It is also extremely inexpensive. Where you might have mailed out one printed customer update every month, you can now email one every week for a fraction of the cost.

Increasingly, companies need to embrace email marketing in a big way in order to stay competitive. Those who formerly used a service to send out their newsletters, sales info, and consumer updates are now doing all the emailing themselves.

New technology that is powerful yet easy to use allows anyone to handle email jobs that previously required expensive professional help.

Instead of waiting for the tech guy to show up, you can speed through the job on your own. Increasingly, companies need to embrace email marketing in a big way in order to stay competitive. Those who formerly used a service to send out their newsletters, sales info, and consumer updates are now doing all the emailing themselves.

Good customer relationship management – CRM software, such as GoldMine® software for example, provides you with the ability to not only conduct effective sales management, but also effective marketing campaigns as well.

You can use your CRM to analyze your base of customers and prospects in order to target your best prospects by email. GoldMine® is an excellent contact management application that allows you to filter records in this way to select exactly which prospects you wish to target. This then allows you to set up and manage an effective email marketing campaign, knowing that everyone targeted is likely to be highly responsive to your sales pitch.

Perhaps you only want to target existing customers in a particular location and not the customers in other places. It would be easy to filter the customer base and weed out only those customers in the location you want to target. Then you can send them a personalized email message with your promotional offer. You could even divide all your customers into different areas, depending on location, and send each segment its own promotional message, personalized for that area.

If you are running campaigns for television, or running adverts in newspapers, you can carefully monitor the campaigns, measuring the results of return on investment. In this way you can determine which television campaign or newspaper advert was effective and successful, and which was not.

GoldMine® software, but not ACT!® software, even provides you with the ability to read scripts directly from the CRM, which can be utilized by telemarketers in a telemarketing calls campaign. That is a powerful feature totally under your control for achieving more effective marketing.

Attributing business results to actual campaigns run is essential for any company to succeed. It is vital to know which of the marketing activities undertaken prove to be the most effective, and which marketing activities fail. This knowledge allows a company to know which campaigns to repeat, and which campaigns should be written off and put down to experience. Good CRM software such as GoldMine® lets you do this with ease.

ACT!® will let you to do basic contact management very effectively, but it probably does not have the power of the GoldMine® software, especially when it comes to automating and triggering tasks. GoldMine® will give you a global view across a network of how resources are being used with the results being achieved. With all the information being held on a single database, it is possible to view the whole picture–the sales performance as well as each of the sales team’s actions, past, present and future, at a glance.

It is possible to define an entire marketing strategy by utilizing the extrapolated metrics produced by the software. Areas of strength can be highlighted and exploited. Areas of weakness can be eliminated or maximized if possible. While hitherto unidentified opportunities can be instantly exploited for greater profit. It is probably this power of good analytic reporting facilities that are the real strengths of a good CRM, for otherwise it is little more than an efficient electronic address book.

This article due to it’s length will be done in two parts. So if everyone is ready; is Internet Marketing coming to its demise? That’s a heck of a question and for too, many there is a lot of truth to it. People are a funny breed. First if there is a way to make a fast buck without doing anything they are all over it. The internet started out to be a great vehicle for many things to include a way to set up viable businesses and help others. As for most good things some are there to figure out a way to trick, con and steal people’s money thus destroying the credibility of the vehicle being used. So is the case with internet marketing.

Have you seen anything things like this; Get Happy With money *Make $18,000 in One Day? * Who wants to be a millionaire? * NEW-Turn $25 into $75000-NO MONTHLY FEES! unstoppable! * HIGHEST Rated 6-Figure CASH Generating SYSTEM-Get RICH TODAY * ARE YOU STILL STRUGGLING TO make money online..? ?>> FREE EBOOK>> * What If I Could Show YOU How To Make An Extra $4000 Per Week From Home!! I could go on and on but I think you get my meaning . . . right?

Recently, I conducted a study just for the so called internet marketing area. So I set up an email account for what I call a junk suppository, yes I said suppository not depository. Its purpose was to collect various internet marketing offers. I ran this test for 7 days and I received 15,768 emails. First I was blown away just on the quantity alone. My next step was to take a sampling to try and determine a pattern which was not hard to find. Next I decided to get involved with a few of these so called money making offers and follow their instruction to the letter (if there were any) to see if my “$18,000 in one day” would come to be true. So let us look at a typical case. First the claim “Make $20,000 in one month!” Heard that one before? So let’s take a look at this miraculous feat. Okay, I know that sounds sarcastic but . . .well you’ll see.

So how to make $20,000 in one month. First create an e-book “Unknown secrets of making money on the internet.” (Understand I just made that up) Now understand there is a lot of information on what works out there and what does not. So simply, you gather information you “Found on the Internet!” cut and paste it into your text editor do some rewording and intentional typos, for more details visit to www.mrx-interview.com make a fancy cover and there you go (there are a lot of free eBook cover generator software programs out there).

Now you price this thing ridiculously low, let’s say $2.00 and don’t forget to make a statement like, “This book should be sold for $47.00 but for the next 48 hours (std JavaScript for a countdown) I will be offering this fantastic money generator information to all my friends, for more details visit to www.outsource-beginners.com clients and future clients for this ridiculously low price of $2.00. . . .Yes you heard me right! “Sound familiar?”

Now what you do is create a lead page (sales page, splash page) and offer some free bonus eBook which you got free with rights to entice your potential client with. So now you have a “Not Only” statement. That is a statement that generally states “Not only do you get the “Unknown secrets of making money on the internet” but we will give you (you fill in the blank) all this for only $2.00!” As far as you sales page you add some bogus testimonials of how great your book is and how much they made by implementing your program, a few pop-up hype ads and a PayPal button and there you go.

Next in this process is to launch this page. There are many ways to accomplish this task, but before you launch make sure you placed strategic keywords in the lead page meta tags and launch to search engines.

A savvy internet marketer has a huge list from previous campaigns and will launch this new campaign through mass email programs. It’s not unusual for the accomplished marketer to have a list of 50,000 or more. This email would say something like this, first the title, “Learn the Secrets to amassing wealth no one will tell you”. Then in the body “Primary Launch to my loyal clients and potential clients tired of not making a dime on the internet. I will share with you how I amassed $20,000 a month. Limited number available and for 48 hours only. Get it now before the price goes up.” This would be the type of email verbiage used with the URL link to the newly created “Lead Page”. Upload this email into the mass email program and launch it. This will be running in the background while preparing the launch for the other avenues. Do same with a creative email to every safelist, ad blasters, FAA’s and traffic exchanges you are a member of. Making sure you place a unique tracking ad id with every different launch.

Let’s look at the numbers on this. Standard return is 2%. So he launched to his list 50,000 for his list, est. 25,000 for safelists, ad blasters 500,000, FAA’s 3,000,000 and finally traffic exchanges 50,000. Were not even going to count the search engine hits. 3,625,000 @ 2% = 72,500 @ $2.00= $145,000 over a conservative six month period the cash flow would be $24,166.00 per month. But wait I said this was to run for only 48 hours right? Yes I did and that is what will be done. The first run is for 48 hours but you now make a modification to you lead page to state “Due to immense popularity of this product we have extended this offer another 48 hours.” Here how it breaks down; you first make the initial offer run it for the 48 hours, wait 24 hours reset the countdown clock in your code and just place it back out there. Every 48 hours you go in and reset the java script to restart the 48 hour countdown. You place ad tracker campaigns, as mentioned before for the various launches you made and determine where you are getting the most action. You keep doing this as you track your sales. A bar chart is great for this as you can visually see the peaks and valleys’ of your sales and where the biggest volume is. You will eventually see a down turn in sales and that tells your initial run is done.

I really want you to pay attention to this next step because this is where you the consumer get taken for the proverbial ride. First, I must recap what we have done. We created an eBook that is on a subject based on successful capital generation using the internet market. We priced it so low it really is not a gamble for the consumer. We injected into the internet market through multiple venues. We setup a 48 hour clock to create a sense of urgency, but ran the sale for six months. We tracked the sales, made a significant amount of money, created a larger customer list, charted sales and trends and finally the burnout of the project. Also you have documented proof of your sales that you can use for the next phase. Now here is the crazy thing. What I basically stated here in this article is what the intent of the content of the eBook you paid $2.00 for. This is not secret it is common place.

Now lets discuss the first website promotion scams which is safelists. These are lists that you can join and become a member. These safelists may have thousands or millions on them, who knows?

As a member of one these safelists , you can submit your ad to the safelist of whatever you are promoting. It could be mlm , internet marketing , etc. The bad part is, that the other members on the saflist you have joined can also send their offers back to you.

Pretty soon your email box is filled with offers you do not want. Let me digress, as I said earlier is that you can send your offer you are promoting to any body that is on that safelist, being mlm , internet marketing etc.

Well alot of these programs provide the same ads for the members on the safelist of the particular program they might be promoting, mlm , internet marketing etc. What happens is they are sending the same offers to one another and no one is making any money.

Ok you join this safelist and become a member. You start receiving a bunch of emails in your inbox from the other members on the safelists. You noticed in the subject line of the email, the heading How to make a $100,000 a year in internet marketing.

Days and weeks go by and your are noticing that you see that same headline over and over again. You start getting used to seeing that headline and what do you? You delete it without giving it a second thought.

Probably the other members on the list are doing the same thing. Using safelist for your website promotion is a waste of time because it become a game of receive email , delete email. receive , delete.

Now the second website promotion scam I am going to talk about is those ad blaster software that promise to send your ads to millions of people and make you millions of dollars in the process, and also promising you that it will save you alot of time.

This is software that you can buy and download off the internet for a a low price. Here is how this website promotion scam works. You open up this software and fill out a few fills your title of the ad for your website and the description of your ad for your website and of course the website address.

You suppose to press a button and your ad for your website will be placed on thousands of websites . Are you a millionaire now right? wrong! because your ad is on top for a while and is then pushed off by the other ads and you have no control over it.

Let me digress and say just because it is automated software and it suppose to save you time does not mean it is a better website promotion tactic you should use in your internet marketing.

Article marketing is a good example of website promotion tactic that seems to be harder to start but is it more effective. There are many gurus who use and sell this type of ad blaster software and they prey on your hope , fears , dreams.

The third website promotion scam is those guaranteed hit programs that promise you that they will send 100,000 targeted hits to your website for $300. Many aspiring internet marketers fall for this website promotion scam and I know all to well.

In 2005 , I was searching on the internet like I normally do and I found one those companies that has one those guaranteed hit or traffic programs. So I called the company and I am not going to names no names.

One of their customer service reps answered the phone and he was telling me about company and how some of their clients were having success with this program. I thought to my self, if I purchase 100,000 hits and get a 1 percent conversion ratio that is a thousand orders I am rich!

Any how, the customer service rep told me all the benefits I would be receiving if I use this program , for example how it will improve my alexa traffic ranking. So I asked the customer service rep a question , Can you guarantee me that I will get sales using this program? and the customer rep said no.

I should of bailed out then , but I had dollar signs in my eyes and so i gave the customer service rep my credit card info any way. So I purchased 100,000 hits for over $300 and my traffic campaign was to start in september and end november.

So now my traffic campaign begins and I am checking my traffic stats and my sales stats. Now the first day of the month I check my traffic & sales and I see I have plenty of visitors and no sales. I am saying to myself, it is no big deal it is only the first day of the traffic campaign.

Fifteen days later I had plenty of traffic and no sales. I was starting to get a little concerned but i still had a couple of months. The end of the first month the same thing plenty of traffic and no sales.

Now we are in the first day of the second month, and the same thing happens, plenty of visitors and no sales. I am thinking to myself , Should I be making sales by now?

Fifteen days later , the same thing plenty of visitors and no sales. The end of the second month same results. Now the third month, guess what what? you guessed it plenty of visitors and no sales.

I just realized that I have been scammed and lost over $300. The feelings of sadness and anger and wanting to quit internet marketing for good. I found out some of the reasons why my particular traffic campaign did not work.

The visitors the company were sending me were not targeted visitors and they they were not even interested in the product I was selling. What I paid for was hits and not visitors , and there is a difference between visitors and hits.

Hits are just people who type in your domain name and leave and visitors are people who are actually interested in your product and stay and look at your website.

In hind sight, I could of used that $300 and set a google adwords campaign and came out way ahead and I also could of purchased a ezine solo ad and came out way ahead. All website promotion tactics are not created equal. if it too good to to be true it usually is.

The Internet serves as an incredible tool for educators and students to communicate, research information, and learn. The widespread availability of computers and connections to the Internet provides everyone around-the-clock access to information, credit and financial services, and shopping.

Unfortunately, there exist individuals who exploit the Internet through their criminal activities and other harmful acts. Cybercriminals use creative measures to gain unauthorized access to your computer and then use that access to steal your identity, commit fraud, or even launch cyber attacks against others.

Staying safe online is no longer a given, but a necessary extracurricular activity. Here are nine security measures you can employ immediate to protect yourself, your family, and your business. By following the recommended cyber security measures outlined here, you can limit the harm cyber criminals can do not only to your computer, but to everyone’s computer. However, keep in mind that there is no single cyber security measure or technological solution that will prevent their cybercrime. These recommended cyber security measures highlight that using a set of common-sense precautions that include Internet habits as well as technology solutions can make a difference.

The National Cyber Security Alliance recommends eight measures. To that, I have added an additional. They are practical steps, in no particular order, you can take to stay safe online and avoid becoming a victim of fraud, identity theft, or cyber crime.

1. Protect your children online. Implement parental control tools that are provided by some Internet Service Provider (ISPs) and available for purchase as separate software packages. Remember: No program is a substitute for parental supervision. Also check your browser to see if it would allow you to set some parental controls. (Internet Explorer allows you to restrict or allow certain web sites to be viewed on your computer, and you can protect these settings with a password. To find those options, click Tools on your menu bar, select Internet Options, choose the Content tab, and click the Enable button under Content Advisor.)

2. Back up important files regularly. No system is completely secure. If you have important files stored on your computer, copy them onto a removable disc, and store them in a secure place in a different building than your computer. If a different location isn’t practical, consider encryption software. Encryption software scrambles a message or a file in a way that can be reversed only with a specific password. Also, make sure you keep your original software start-up disks handy and accessible for use in the event of a system crash.

3. Protect your valuable personal and financial information. Don’t open unsolicited or unknown email messages. If you do get an email or pop-up message asking for personal information, don’t reply or click on the link in the message. To avoid opening such messages, you can turn off the “Preview Pane” functionality in email programs, and you can set your default options to view opened emails as plain text to avoid active links or pop-ups in the messages. Most importantly, do not

to respond to solicitations for your personal or financial information.

If you believe there may be a need for such information by a company with whom you have an account or placed an order, contact that company directly in a way you know to be genuine. Never send your personal information via email because email is not a secure transmission method.

4. Use strong passwords or strong authentication technology to help protect your personal information. To further increase the security of your online identity and to help protect you from account hi-jacking, take advantage of stronger authentication tools wherever available. This may take the form of two-factor authentication – the combination of a password or PIN number (something you know) with a token, smart card, or even a biometric device (something you have).

Everyone who has been marketing online for sometime already
know the value of an email list. An email list, filled with
targeted subscribers who opt in, is the most valuable asset for
anyone with an online business. If you are not building an email
list, then you need to start building one right now.

But the problem with many people is that they do not know how to
start a list building campaign. And not only do they not know
how to start one, but most individuals do not even know how to
accelerate the growth of their lists into the thousands within a
few weeks. If everyone knew the right things to do in order to
rapidly build a decent sized email list within a few weeks, we
would have a lot less complainers who constantly nag about the
negative results of internet marketing.

Now I decided to handle this problem by giving you 4 critical
steps for explosively growing your email list in a matter of
days. If you just take the time and apply the steps outlined in
this article, you will most definitely build a profitable and
responsive email list within a few days.

Step 1: Decide to offer an incredible product for free that is
brandible

This is an important step, and probably is the most time
consuming step if you are not familiar with creating products.
But the whole concept is to create an ebook or software that
others can freely giveaway and earn profits from at the same
time. If you are able to create a valuable product that others
can giveaway and earn profits from, you will be able to generate
a viral monster that will cause so many people overtime to give
away your product and build your list for you. This tactic has
been proven over and over again and can actually build a list
into the 100,000’s very quickly!

A perfect example of this viral phenomenon can be seen in the
release of the Traffic Hurricane software.

http://www.workingonyourown.com/traffictool.html

The creators of the Traffic Hurricane software created something
of incredible value that is needed in a majority of websites
online, which was traffic. The creators literally gave away a
software that was truly worth over $100 and can actually send
many visitors to anyone’s website. Not only was the software
free, but it was able to be brandible if you decided to become a
JV partner. This brandible mechanism literally gave the creators
thousands of subscribers very quickly, and a means to generate
great passive income.

So we see the power of creating brandible products that
individuals can give away. This one step, in my opinion, is the
major key to sustaining continual rapid list growth.

Step 2: Contact Potential JV Partners To Giveaway Your Product

The second step is also crucial. You need to find individuals
who are willing to distribute your brandible product to a lot of
people within a short amount of time. The perfect way of doing
this is by establishing joint ventures.

When looking for joint venture partners, you need to be mindful
of certain things. For one, how large is their email list and is
it filled with quality subscribers? What is the alexa rating of
the joint venture partner’s website? Do they have a good
reputation online?

The questions above will help steer you away from individuals
who jump at your JV offer, yet never provide the results. The
reason why you establish joint ventures is because you want
good, quick results. Therefore, do all that you can to find out
about the individual before you actually partner with him.

But a good place to start contacting some well known joint
venture partners is by visiting the website below:

http://www.workingonyourown.com/jvnet.html

The website above will give you a very good head start in
locating partners. Try to shoot for as many joint venture
partners as you can. The more partners you have, the more larger
your list can potentially become.

Step 3: Plan and Set Up Everything For Your Partners

The next thing you want to do is make sure that your JV partners
find it easy to giveaway your product, and check their stats to
see how much income they generated.

You want to provide the JV partner with a web page that will
collect the email addresses of everyone who is interested in
downloading the JV partner’s brandible product. Make sure the
web page has good sales copy!Remember, the better the sales
copy, the more products you giveaway. The more products that are
given away, the more income your partner can potentially make
and the larger your list will be.

Next, you want to provide them with all the advertising
resources that are needed to giveaway your free brandible
product. Give them an ad that can be sent out to their
newsletter. Give them a banner ad that they can use to advertise
your product on their website.

Finally, you want to provide them with a means to check their
sales stats. You can use a number of affiliate marketing
software to do this.

Step 4: Launch Your Brandible Product

This is the easy part. Just plan for a launch date and have all
of your partners advertise to their newsletters and ezines on
that very same date. This can literally give you over a thousand
subscribers in one night!

Just make sure you have enough bandwidth space for your hosting
account in order to accommodate the huge surge of traffic
hitting your website.

Now if you do exactly what I tell you to do in the steps above,
you will have an email list that will:

1. Include thousands of subscribers. 2. Exponentially grow over
time. 3. Passively give you thousands of dollars a month just
from sending endorsements to your list.

For consistency, you need a system that has the ability to centralize content and deliver it to multiple information sources, everything from campaigns, direct e-mail newsletters and podcasts to advertisements, and each piece of content must deliver a single consistent message.

While one key characteristic of the Internet is speed, another equal characteristic is usability. A Web site must be visually appealing and simple to navigate and use. Parameters such as Web site design, landing pages and context-related content are absolutely critical for attracting visitors.

Measuring the Success of Your Online Initiatives

A competitive economy always demands more value for every dollar spent. While the opportunities that can be explored via an online medium are immense, so are the challenges.

As seen in most organizations, e-marketing strategies are disconnected from each other and exist as islands of information. So, you may have analytics software that gives you the details about the most popular sections in your Web site, a CRM application that creates a complete picture about your customer, and email marketing software that sends out customized mails to selected lists of people who have visited or downloaded content from your site. To top that, you have new mediums such as blogs and podcasts adding to the content mix. You may also have explored different mediums such as buying ad space on popular Web sites, or placing syndicated content such as white papers or Webcasts on specialized Web sites such as Bitpipe or Knowledgestorm.

Now, unless these different pieces of the content landscape are connected and integrated with each other, the ROI of such initiatives will remain unclear. For instance, can you tell if a particular white paper has contributed to a sale, or which particular campaign is helping you convert leads into wins?

To measure the success of an online strategy, you must have an integrated mechanism that enables your organization to track the success at a micro as well as at a macro level.

How Can a CMS help?

If quality of content, ease of publishing, and making your Web site search engine friendly are critical success factors, then a Content Management System (CMS) scores on all counts. A CMS is a tool that eases the creation, maintenance and management of a Web site.

Listed below are a few factors that show how a CMS can help you build a good quality Web site, while ensuring that your Internet audience keeps on growing

· Boosting Search Engine Rankings

If the world of meta tags, anchor text, and keyword density make you feel that search engine optimization (SEO) is rocket science, a CMS can demystify SEO techniques and give business owners the power to fully make their Web sites search engine friendly. A CMS can also help non-technical people create page titles, URLs and meta tags while also suggesting keywords that would make sense to spiders crawling the Web site.

· Creating a Good Navigation Structure

Just as human beings like being given directions, search engine spiders too are fond of Web sites that have good structure and make finding content an easy task. A CMS can automatically create navigation paths, helping search engines go deep into Web sites to find and index relevant content. The more Web pages search engines find, the greater are the chances of the Web site being ranked higher.

A CMS can also enable organizations to maintain W3C compliance for enabling a good structure for their Web sites. The W3C stands for the World Wide Web Consortium and provides the guidelines by which Web sites and Web pages should be structured and created. Compliance helps insure that your Web site functions the same when accessed from any browser or device. It also ensures that proper use of standards which in turn, helps search engines interpret content easily. Further, CMS help create a comprehensive sitemap which ensures that search engines can follow and index each link.

· Improving the Speed and Ease of Publishing Content

Organizations can accelerate their speed of publishing content by giving subject matter experts tools that simple, and intuitive to use. And when you have good quality content being updated regularly, it is a matter of time before the Internet audience takes note of your organization’s efforts.

· Improved Web site Searchability

Since a Web site CMS manages all content consistently, built-in search engines make finding content on a Web site fast and easy.

· Improved Measurability

When you integrate the CMS with your CRM or Sales Force applications, the chances of success increase exponentially. For example, detailed information about the surfing habits of your buyers, or preferences selected during choosing newsletters, can be used by the CRM system to deliver targeted, customized offers to prospective customers.

Similarly, integration between the CMS and email marketing software can allow marketers to create campaigns using the CMS, and launch them using the email marketing software. Registrations, enquiries and user feedback can be automatically captured, and analyzed further using an analytics tool.

As you can see, this gives marketers a closed-loop lead generation tool – tracking buyer habits from surfing by using Web analytics tools, providing one view of the customer through the CRM, and then capturing the feedback and improving it further by analyzing the results of the campaign. Besides the ability to track the leads to the sales, an integrated system gives organizations the ability to track effectiveness of campaigns, with an accurate analysis of data for predicting current and future market trends. These statistics can be used by organizations to enhance their e-marketing strategies, and fine tune the methods to attract the users they want.

The Hosted Advantage

If you opt for a CMS delivered using a Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) model, the benefits get amplified. You have no hassles of managing hardware or purchasing software – all you do is rent the software from the service provider. As a customer, you just pay a fixed subscription fee on a monthly or quarterly basis and leave the task of managing, maintaining and upgrading the software to the vendor.

Organizations also save costs as they do not have to budget for a developer who tweaks the HTML code, or a Webmaster who actually takes care of hosting. Some SaaS players even provide a dedicated account manager with an escalation path for support. By using a SaaS model, organizations can also cut down on their risk and choose different functionalities as they grow.

Further, as billing is on a monthly or quarterly basis, costs are spread across the lifetime of a product’s usage. This is an extremely attractive value proposition when compared to the traditional software model, where costs are paid upfront and the risk of product implementation and adoption is totally on the customer.
