Some small businesses have a slow period during the holidays and I don’t understand why.

Spending online from November 1 through December 12, 2006 reached $17.56 billion, up from $14.13 billion 2005.

That means that online traffic is high and customers are in a buying position. It’s a perfect time to invest in an online strategic marketing campaign.

This is the perfect time to implement a sponsored search program to attract customers who are already searching for what you sell. Yahoo Search Marketing and Google Ad words are two great services that can drive qualified traffic to your website.
The beauty of these services is that they are:

• Affordable

• Measurable

• Flexible

• Sustainable

Invest $500 into Yahoo Search Marketing or Google Ad words this holiday season. You will see increased traffic to your web site. You should see increased phone leads and if you are a brick and mortar store, you should see more traffic to your store.
