Direct-to-Desktop Cutting Edge Software -
Introducing Desktop Marketer!
|
E-mail marketing is becoming more and more difficult in light of new spam laws, increased filtering,
and hoardes of vicious spammers making it tough to get legitimate e-mail into the inboxes of the
customers and subscribers who want it.
With Desktop Marketer, you can bypass e-mail altogether and deliver messages STRAIGHT to the desktops
of your customers' and subscribers' computers.
That means you have a constant, private communication channel that is NOT filled with other people's
messages -- where you can reach online audiences, build relationships and, ultimately, increase sales --
and your messages get read every time... guaranteed!
For
the low-down on the new Desktop Marketer I strongly suggest that

Over
the past few months, a number of my subscribers have been asking
me about the latest marketing technology to hit the Internet.
It's
called "direct-to-desktop" publishing, and right now,
it's the exclusive property of Fortune 500 companies who are paying
tens of thousands (even hundreds of thousands!) of dollars to have
hotshot developers create custom software that lets them cash in
on the new technology.
Direct-to-desktop
publishing gives these elite companies the kind of advantages that
most Internet marketers can only dream about...
- 100%
guaranteed message delivery
-
Instant messages that appear in full color and sound, right
on a customer's computer desktop
-
An exclusive, private communication channel with
loyal customers and subscribers
...
All in a customized, branded window with their company logo at the
top.
When
you visit one of these companies' web sites (think online music
stores, sports fan sites, entertainment sites, and so on), you'll
see an offer that says something like "Click this button to
receive instant updates direct to your desktop."
Click
the button and you'll download a small, customized "reader"
application that lets your computer receive messages from the company.
The
advantages of 'Direct-to-desktop'
Direct-to-desktop
publishing lets you send HTML messages directly to your customers'
desktops -- instantly, reliably, and electronically -- without having
to wrestle with e-mail filters, bounce backs, or competition.
Once
customers sign up, they don't have to check their e-mail or visit
your web site to get your latest news or updates. A flashing desktop
icon alerts them as soon as they receive a message from you -- and
all they have to do is click to read it.
It's
brilliant. The system doesn't use e-mail, yet it is 100% opt-in
-- subscribers simply turn off the program if they wish to stop
receiving messages.
...
It's a win-win situation for everyone involved: Subscribers receive
messages only from companies they trust. No spam, no pop-ups, no
third-party ads... just legitimate messages from a sender they want
to hear from. And companies get to deliver their messages without
ISPs or e-mail filters getting in the way.
The
right technology at the right time
Here's the bottom line: E-mail marketing is getting more and more
complicated. While e-mail is still a powerful marketing tool (Proof:
I used it to make more than $2.4 million last year, and I'm on track
to do the same again this year), these days you need to work harder
than ever to keep in touch with your list of customers and subscribers.
Here's why:
- Subscribers
change their e-mail addresses, leaving you without a way to contact
them.
-
Your legitimate messages get wrongfully trashed by overactive
junk mail filters.
-
People's free e-mail accounts fill up quickly, causing your messages
to bounce back.
-
And even when your e-mail makes it into a subscriber's inbox,
it can get lost in a sea of newsletters, personal messages, promotions,
and spam if you don't know what you're doing.
For
these reasons, many marketers are looking for opportunities to use
this new direct-to-desktop technology as a "partner" tool
that works hand-in-hand with their e-mail and advertising campaigns.
Unfortunately,
there are still a few problems with it...
The
'big guys' have cornered the market
Right
now, the Fortune 500 companies have cornered the market on direct-to-desktop
publishing. And for good reason -- they've been the only ones who
could afford it!
These
companies have paid huge sums of money to have software developers
convert their company materials into compatible content. They've
hired professional designers to come up with attractive, customized
"reader"applications they can send to their subscribers.
And they've put tons of money into developing flashy graphics, streaming
audio, and video clips to send out.
There
is a tremendous opportunity for marketers to be at the very front
of the curve, taking advantage of this red-hot new technology to
get secure, direct access to the desktops of your customers... But
unfortunately, it's next to impossible for the average person to
get set up with direct-to-desktop technology right now.
You
need to know a programming language like XML to create your content
"feed." And unless you're willing to hire some expensive
software developers, your subscribers will have to use a generic
"newsreader" application to receive your messages.
Where
this new technology is heading
The
current situation of direct-to-desktop publishing reminds me of
the way things looked on the Internet five years ago, when most
companies didn't have web sites yet. Only a few highly funded Internet
start-ups (remember the dot-com boom?) had the money, software,
and skills to develop a professional site.
Then
a few companies started looking at how to make web design accessible
to the public -- and now, user-friendly web design software has
made it easy for anyone to create a professional-looking e-commerce
web site in minutes!
The
same thing happened with e-mail marketing. At first, it was just
a few entrepreneurs testing the water to see if there was a way
to avoid paying postage for direct mail promotions -- and now, thanks
to e-mail automation software, it seems like every company is using
e-mail to distribute their promotions and newsletters.
And
now, the same situation has come up again. This technology will
become mainstream in the future, but it's those who get in on it
FIRST who will see the biggest profits from it. And at the moment,
it's just now affordable for all of us smaller companies that don't
make billions of dollars a year.
All
the best...

I'll
let you in on a 'little secret'...
I
know from talking to Corey that he just didn't think it was
fair that Fortune 500 companies are the only ones that can
afford this technology, while marketers like you and me have
to settle for inferior, stop-gap solutions.
And
I know that he and his team have been quietly working on a
solution (the new Desktop Marketer) to allow "regular" small online business
owners start using "direct-to-desktop" technology
for a tiny fraction of what those Fortune 500 companies are
paying...
Just
recently, Corey released his powerful Desktop Marketer
to a select group of his customers and subscribers...
complete with customization, branding, and tracking tools
BEYOND what these $10,000+ solutions typically offer.
And
now YOU have the opportunity gain a HUGE advantage
by making sure you reach the market with this FIRST -- long
before your competitors even know it exists!
Go
to: Desktop Marketer
...
but don't delay, because like Corey said, the marketers
who use the Desktop Marketer first will be the ones to see the biggest profits.

I hope
this information on the new Desktop Marketer helps you kick your online marketing into the next
generation!
