Eiler Chairman Moderates Internet Marketing Panel at
e2Detroit

Last month, Larry Eiler moderated a panel discussion of Internet marketing techniques at the e2Detroit Symposium. Panelists included Google AdWords Strategist Matthew Neagle, Linda Girard, co-founder and CEO of Pure Visibility and Apurvi Desai, marketing and public relations manager of Asterand.

Each panelist shared helpful insights about the unique reasons e-marketing can support business goals.

First, it's precisely targeted. "Internet marketing is about understanding how your customers spend their time online," said Neagle. "A tool like AdWords gives you the ability to show your message to a client exactly at the moment they are searching for you."

Internet marketing is also more measurable than many traditional techniques. Panelists encouraged attendees to employ tactics like Facebook and other social networks, pay-per-click advertising like AdWords, and analytics tools, which help measure Web traffic and sales generation.

According to Girard, "Reaching an audience through the Internet is like starting a conversation." Social media and blogs are great new ways to facilitate back-and-forth communication with clients. For instance, blogs can put a human face on your organization while raising your search engine visibility and brand value online.

Desai said, "understanding your customer is an integral part of entrepreneurial success." It enables you to select targeted marketing techniques and better leverage your time and resources toward qualified leads.
