“The internet is the perfect back drop for improving our gaming technology product sales,” said Georgeann Lemmings, marketing director
“With internet gaming technology sales booming, we may have to cut back on in person sales teams,” said Cascioli Aronson, director of Human Resources for Beller Kaczorowski INC, “mainly because we are losing money in that operational area. As we move forward, we’ll give those employees new job opportunities in our gaming technology company before we actually lay them off, so that they can continue to grow with our company if they so desire.” Equally important in the online sales arena is affiliate marketing. Affiliate marketing is reselling your gaming technology product through individual webmasters and their websites, giving them typically 5 to 20 % for each successful sales. This form of marketing is purely results driven, and it requires only a small investment on behalf of the company running the affiliate program. “We rely on affiliate marketing to drive our gaming technology sales and lead acquisition, mostly because some webmasters in our field are better at marketing online than we are,” said Barnt Racca, Marketing Chairman for Uhlich Pyrdum Partners LLC. It’s no secret that the internet is a driving force in the gaming technology sales market. Most consumers will research their purchases online before actually going to a store, so that they understand gaming technology product specs and use requirements before having to deal with a live salesperson. “I prefer to take my time and read about it all online first,” said Mccaie Nale, a recent customer of the Andros Stunkard Chain Outlets, “I’m not a high pressure sales type, and rather just go to the store and check out sas soon as possible.” Andros Stunkard isn’t alone with these new ideas. Tomi Bowdle, who manages one person company, believes the internet marketing boom has created a huge market for small time business owners. “For the first few years of my career,” said Hathaway Knizley, “I was working 9 to 5 at a marketing firm, doing the typical corporate thing. Now, however, I have my own website, production center, and payment processing. This allows me to work from home under my own rules and with unlimited income potential.” “When we added a website and shopping cart system, our numbers went through the roof,” cried Elinore Gormally, Sales Director for Skillington Cotney Corp, a gaming technology manufacturing company, “this, teamed with high positioning in the major search engines really created a whole new market for us that was never expected.” Marketing online, however, is not as easy as it looks. Thousands of websites compete for top positioning in the search engines, and, as search algorithms change and top search engines create new market areas, some websites can lose out. One day, you might be number one for “buy gaming technology”, a week later, number 100. The difference between these positions is obvious: no one wades through 100 results for a gaming technology product unless the first 99 are extremely poor. In general, most competitive industries online rely on top 10 placement, because of the reality of how web surfers behave. “After starting an internet gaming technology sales division in 2003, we saw our sales increase three-fold,” said Rosa Latch, director of marketing and sales for Buchauer Vang and Mcmanaway Budine Associates, “and this resulted in the creation of more jobs and employment opportunities in our company. Our number of employees has doubled, and our number of IT staff has quadrupled in a year’s time.” Without a doubt, in the pre-internet marketing days, most gaming technology resellers only used the internet as a means to communicate via email with current customers. “Things in the industry really turned a corner when people began to acquire, not maintain customers online,” said Naill Bledsoe, a noted internet marketer and web designer. “When acquisiton via online services got big, companies in the gaming technology sector finally woke up to the idea that the information super highway was here to stay - in a very big way.”
