Tips for Improving Lead Generation
I'm often asked about how digital editions can be used for "lead generation". The short answer is that to be really effective there needs to be a "value added" for readers to provide advertiser permission to contact them. Simply having a "pop up" form asking for an email address when someone clicks on an advertiser link to go to a website does not move the needle. Offering a white paper, webinar, free gift, or anything "above and beyond" can get someone motivated!
DMNews has a nice on-line article on using your databases and driving sales with more leads. Some experts (including yours truly) offer tips on how to improve lead-generating efforts. You can read it directly from the www.dmnews.com/5-Tips-Lead-generation-lift-off/article/123495/.

The Lead Management Revenue Opportunity
I've been talking to publishers and companies about our Lead Management System, and the interesting thing is that opportunities abound well beyond the "technology" white papers.
One of the best revenue opportunities for publishers -- especially B-to-B publishers -- is to create a "resource center" of interest to readers. For example, any area in which you have a strong advertiser interest in reaching individual readers with product or service information, you are sitting on a goldmine.
Texterity includes not only the "turnkey technology" to put up a complete branded lead-generation microsite, but the experience in actually launching the program. This includes sample offers to advertisers, recommendations for pricing programs, and "best practices" for deploying and launching the systems. Obviously, digital edition readers are a great target for white paper and other content, but the print reader, newsletter recipient, and trade show attendee are also great audiences.
