THE MOVE TOWARD DIGITAL
Marketers are shifting their
budgets away from traditional
marketing channels and toward
digital marketing channels.
While 46% of companies plan to
increase their overall marketing
budgets in 2010, 66% will
increase their investments in
digital marketing.
Digital channels make up the
top five tactics in which
marketers are investing.

THE APPROACH
The strategy is simple but effective; it involves seeding, converting and sneezing.
Put the message in the hands of influencers, which you can “seed” with our message.
Then drive consumers to a conversion point and create a methodology to “sneeze” the
message along to their friends.

CONVERSION: F-Format
With every click you lose an estimated 60% of
your traffic.
A recent eye tracking study shows readers scan
Web pages in an F-shaped format.
A successful conversion-based Web site is
designed and populated accordingly.

SEO and PPC: BUYING LEADS (DON’T DO IT)
Lots of ppl buy leads in addition to SEO and PPC services. But how do you think
providers get those leads? Through PPC And SEO…and they are giving those same
results to other clients.
When you are using SEO and PPC and buying leads, you are basically “peeing in your
own pool.” Our neighbors (InsuranceAgent.com) sell leads, and we compete with them
for our clients, Insureonthespot.com. We get our lead for $20, whereas our neighbors
would sell us one for $20 (and then sell that same lead to 4 other guys).
Moral of the story? Don’t do both.

SEEDING: Traditional Advertising
• Direct mail
• Tradeshows
• Vertical/Trade advertising
Just say NO to mass media (TV and radio). It’s very expensive and yields low return.
Everything should have
1) A call to action
2) A sense of urgency

SNEEZING
The “sneezing” component of your site is the element that compels users to visit in
the first place, then share it with others. The best way to achieve this is by giving
people an incentive to share.
You can accomplish this by:
• Adding “Add This,” Facebook connect and Twitter oauth functionality to the site
• A contest or promotion tied to campaign creates incentive for referrals
• Tweets: People will RT sneeze-worthy info

SNEEZING
These additional steps can bring in more site viewers.
Add repurposed articles and press releases to:
• StumbleUpon: This site can bring in some big traffic. Users interested in
your message will “stumble upon” your site, then are able to share it with
others.
• Reddit: The site aims to have what’s new and popular on the web. Users
customize what they’re interested in then their votes train a filter, so the site
only shows users things they might like.
Add these same articles to sites such as pitchengine.com, a social platform
that enables PR to effectively package stories and share them with
journalists, bloggers, and influencers worldwide via the social Web.

SNEEZING: Traditional Advertising vs. SoNet
Traditional/print advertising is based on a one-to-one model. The social networking
approach allows for more of an outreach methodology.
If you are able to convert one person, then they can recruit 20 of their friends, who
can recruit 20 of their friends, etc – broadening your network.

Hershey’s and Organic Valley chocolate milk.

CASE STUDY
CARDINAL FITNESS and CHARTER FITNESS July 2009 – present
SCENARIO:
JB Chicago has worked with Cardinal Fitness since 2003, serving as its full service
marketing agency. In line with the company’s aggressive growth plan, JB Chicago
developed a social networking outreach program and Web site redesign for both Cardinal
Fitness and Charter Fitness, another brand of health clubs they launched in 2008.
The plan, which went into effect in early 2010, began with a redesign of both home
pages while keeping the Cardinal Fitness and Charter Fitness identity consistent.
The new sites are search engine optimized and custom-made, each with strong calls
to action for potential and returning customers, namely coupons.
Upon completion of site redesign, JB Chicago implemented a social networking
program for both Cardinal Fitness and Charter Fitness. Using Facebook, Twitter,
blogs and Web sites, we reached out to those interested in health and fitness.
Those influencers were driven to the Web site, where they were compelled to share
the coupons with others. This created the viral elements necessary for the
campaign to spread across all social media outlets.

CATALYST EXHIBITS
November 2009 – present
SCENARIO:
Catalyst Exhibits offers a full-service approach to meeting its clients' trade show needs
through in-house design, fabrication, implementation of exhibit programs and
display elements. The company already had a Web site with strong SEO and PPC
capabilities, so JB Chicago came onboard to concept and develop three industry-
specific blogs, then increase visibility through online promotion. Using Twitter
outreach, users were driven these retention points, thus increasing Catalyst
visibility as well as conversion.
In less than three months nearly 16,000 qualified clicks have been made on Catalyst
blog links, and Catalyst Exhibits has asked JB Chicago to continue the blog
promotion beyond the initial phase.
