Winning strategy for Ectaco Online Dealers
Ectaco electronic and software dictionaries for 45 languages are much in demand online. The total Gold Dealers sales increase by 20% every quarter (40% in the 4th quarter, 2004).
Following our top Gold Dealers' sales experience, we recommend you to locate Ectaco dictionaries as one of your own Website services.
The winning strategy is to promote the dictionaries with detailed description at your Website:
Install theDealer's modules for Electronic dictionaries and dictionary software at your website.
Contact Ann Smith at anns@ectaco.com to receive the modules for free.
Put on your website an image of Ectaco dictionary and the text linked to the corresponding page of the dealer's module.
This image and the text should be well located on your Website, so put them in the upper part of your homepage, at the related pages, at the pages visited by the potential online customers and at the most popular pages of your site.
The image and the text should look like part of your website and your own services, not like a 3-rd party advertisement (No banners, please).
If your site visitors are interested in a particular product category or a certain language (e.g. software for Pocket PC, or Arabic electronic pocket dictionaries, etc.), promote this specific product at your Website and put a direct link to a relevant category in the Dealer's module.
On doing this please get in touch with Ann Smith and she will give you the gift certificate code on this product for your site visitors. All the discounts and gifts (up to $190 value) are made at Ectaco own expenses, your sales commission remains the same.
You can also include the information regarding Ectaco dictionaries in the newsletters to your site targeted subscribers.
Contact Ann Smith at anns@ectaco.com to receive the Gift Certificate codes, promotion texts, images, HTML pages, newsletters, pop-up windows, etc.
Your Web page where the link to the Dealer's module is located or the pages of the dealer's modules themselves should show top results for the keyword search by the major Search Engines (www.google.com, www.yahoo.com, search.msn.com, www.alltheweb.com, search.aol.com etc. See other search engines here).
You can achieve this by changing the meta tags of the pages (keywords, title, description). The pay-per-click advertisement for the targeted keywords with the major search engines has also proved to be a very effective tool. As the paid advertisement is made at your own expense, we do not recommend you to spend more than $100 a month on it.
Please make sure to inform Ann Smith about the paid advertisement you run.
The traffic should consist of potential online buyers (preferably credit card owners), not just visitors looking for free stuff.
Most of the completed orders for Ectaco dictionaries are from the USA, Canada and Europe.
In general the bestsellers are Spanish, Russian, Chinese electronic dictionaries and dictionary software. German, Polish and French products are at the next level. Products for other languages sell well on the targeted sites (e.g. Japanese site, etc.)
Please feel free to contact Ann Smith at anns@ectaco.com with any questions or suggestions.
