Traffic generated from social<br />

networking<br />

Social networking is critical for a<br />

company. Here’s a fun fact. If <strong>the</strong><br />

number of people who have Facebook<br />

accounts was thought of as a population,<br />

Facebook would be <strong>the</strong> 3rd largest<br />

country in <strong>the</strong> world!<br />

That’s a lot of people chatting online and sharing stories with <strong>the</strong>ir friends. When<br />

post a comment about something bad that happened to you by Company XYZ,<br />

pretty much everyone in your network is going to take your side and not use that<br />

company from now on. The future of advertising is word of mouth.<br />

The <strong>EEN</strong> hopes to provide a website that everyone going online will be excited<br />

about visiting. If one person finds something interesting on <strong>the</strong> website and<br />

shares it with his network, via Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, etc., chances are<br />

o<strong>the</strong>r people are going to see that posting. His/her friend could be interested and<br />

check it out for <strong>the</strong>mselves and <strong>the</strong> cycle begins.<br />

Off-page marketing of <strong>the</strong> <strong>EEN</strong><br />

Outside of all <strong>the</strong> free and paid ways to generate traffic to<br />

<strong>the</strong> <strong>EEN</strong> website, <strong>the</strong>re are still <strong>the</strong> old-fashioned methods.<br />

• Postcards • Direct Mail • Newspaper Ads<br />

• Flyers • Brochures • Car Wraps<br />

• Billboards • Posters • Radio/Television Ads<br />

• Forums • Booklets • Much More!<br />

Even though Internet usage is growing leaps and bounds, <strong>the</strong>se methods of<br />

company advertising is still <strong>the</strong> standard. People are familiar with holding a<br />

brochure, reading <strong>the</strong> newspaper, watching television, etc.<br />

All of <strong>the</strong>se help increase <strong>the</strong> <strong>EEN</strong> exposure. It’s about branding. Whenever<br />

someone sees <strong>the</strong> <strong>EEN</strong> logo, <strong>the</strong>y will see <strong>the</strong> <strong>EEN</strong> website address beside it!<br />

How is your company advertising its website, gaining new<br />

visitors and keeping your existing ones coming back?<br />
