It is less expensive to focus on Repeat and Referral clients then seek out new ones
Today people are on the go, they are very busy with taking the children to soccer practice, violin, or dance lessons not to mention extended drive times to and from work and home to share a few example of today’s on the go consumers.

This makes being in front of your clients more important then ever.
Calling each one of your contacts and clients once a month is a great way to leave a lot of voice mails with no results or sending a printed mailer with high (prohibited) cost postage stamps, not to mention but I will we get to much junk mail in the mail box both at work and home and again not really knowing what the outcome of these efforts provide back to your marketing efforts just makes these 2 efforts to risky and to time consuming.

Email Marketing solves a lot of these (NO TRACKING) problems and a whole lot more.
It is the least intrusive way to gain in market share when it is done on a schedule. As we have mentioned before you are going to be sending your email messages via and email marketing service provider to your list or email contacts, those people you have had contact with over a few weeks, months, or even years.

Growing your business through email contact list building.
Building on your contact list is and ongoing effort that should become just and everyday part of running your business via telephone calls made, received, those walk in customers, and especially those that are already buying from you.

Sending a great colorful message of how to, or informative tips and techniques pertaining to your products or services on a monthly bases over the years can really build your reputation as the authority in your field. These recipients might even (if you ask them) forward your message to their friends that share the same interest. This will help you build on your loyalty and referral side of your marketing efforts.

Your messages need to be worthy to accomplish referral growth
If you are wanting to hyper growth your business your campaign needs to be well thought out, it needs to be helpful informative and about what you know your recipients are wanting based on what items or services you have sold to them or offered to them from their interests in the past.

If you do this each month for few months then ask your recipients to share these tips and techniques with their friends or even co-workers they will more then likely want to share the knowledge they have gained and this can begin the best most sought after marketing ever.
This top shelve marketing we all seek is viral marketing and not only will your recipients share and forward your messages they might even begin talking about your techniques with other people they know share their same interests.

Domain Name Cluster, a working example

Welcome to Domain Name Cluster Example
Introducing Charley.
Viper Logic and a friend of Logic’s buys domain names. He is a funny guy but, very successful in real estate. He is as focused in and area of real estate as he is now today in Domain Names.

Charley is his name, he is in the the home repossession business and mostly in the Coachella Valley which Palm Springs is also located in.

You can see Charley is focused on 3 areas in the real estate business.
1 He deals only in homes.
2 He deals only in California, only in the desert region, and only in the Coachella Valley.
3 He only deals in bank repossessions known as REO’s (Real Estate Owned).

Now if you notice Charley has a focus on and area with a need for the real estate industry.
Especially these days as the the Coachella Valley is located in one of if not the worst hit down market area for Real Estate Riverside County.

Now through some training from Viper Logic Charley learned what domain name clusters mean, how to buy domain names, and the art of investing in domain names for the long term. (long term in domain names is 5 to 10 years or less)

Charley Entered the Domain Name world in 2005.
Charley picked his domain names in the same focused fashion he applies to his day time job in the real estate industry.
Yes Charley bought and continues to buy real estate domain names, however his focus was in banking domain names. The industry he selected is banking but the region he selected is global.

Let me explain what and where Charley is buying his domain names.
He likes the “E” for electronic Bank for the industry type and the country for the location of each “E-Bank”.

Examples:
eBankSweden.com
eBankUnitedStates.com
Each Country is placed as a web site on the World Wide Web, independent of each other with one main web site where you can locate and select each country.

Reference Note
The formula is the same as our California city by city, county by county and region by region weather web site and domain cluster.
He has the eBankAuthority.com and eBankingAuthority.com where all of the countries are listed.

Creating an Authority main web site directory for your Domain Name Cluster
Next in this authority web site when you click on a country and if that country has areas or states, or regions, or Provence’s then this would open that country web site up with a map listing each location that a web site is biult for covering the entire country.

In this case we will use what we are familiar with the United States.
Applying Domain Name Clustering for getting the correct web site traffic.

See using Domain Name Clusters you could find eBankUnitedStates.com by searching for ebank, ebanks, or ebanking in the United States.
Our if you search for ebanks you might be taken directly in your search to the authority main web site eBankingAuthority.com
Our if you are looking for ebanks in Virginia or any of the other 50 states in the USA then you can find the best choice provided by Charley’s Domain Name Cluster because Charley owns the ebank for the United States as well as for each specific state.

Example of names Charley owns for his focused subject:
eBankingAuthority.com
eBankUnitedStates.com
eBankVirginia.com
eBankWashington.com
This way Charley gains traffic from the Authority site as the main web site. This is however like anyone single domain name web site that will get what traffic or visitors it gets.

Every web site wants lots of traffic including this Logic Blog, but what 15 years of being a domain name buyer has taught us is we really want to do business and not just create traffic so owning names in a common subject in nouns (also known as keyword domain names) with a topic and location and ending with a .com only highest level and value domain name ending

To get larger traffic and to quantify that traffic Charley needed to expand his web site presence and to focus like in real estate (and area that has been very rewarding to Charley over the past 40+ years).

Charley’s current status after just three short years.
Charley has began releasing basic web sites with banking information and specifically ebanking information for each country he owns and he owns them all. We will continue to watch Charley’s progress over the next few years and report the traffic and relationships that owning these domain names has brought to Charley.
