Magic Marketing for Online Shopping

TLC Information Services, Inc. Developer and owner of the Medical World Search (MWSearch) is launching a marketing campaign to promote e-commerce and online shopping and its super Online Shopping Mart. The growth of e-commerce and especially online shopping is catching attention of all businesses and merchants. However, the vast number of would-be online shoppers (either as clients  in B2B, business to business or as consumers in B2C, business to consumers, still need an informational education. We need to increase their awareness of (1) facts about online shopping (2) values and benefits of online shopping and (3) means and ease of doing effective online shopping. In a word, we need to develop an online shopping culture. We believe the magic marketing solution is the best vehicle for accomplishing that.

This Magic Marketing campaign is based on the Value Marketing Concept which simply says "offer persistent value to your potential customers, they will become your long-term loyal customers". This marketing campaign is taking advantage of the interactive Magic Information Card (Mi-Card). Mi-Card has been proven to be the best media for providing value marketing (see for example, a Mi-Card for promoting New York Downtown Business). Businesses have learned that offering Values  to customers produce magic effects (hot leads, callbacks, Impressions, Click-throughs, purchases and building customer relations). The interactive nature and useful utilities built-in the Mi-Card (one of the three components in the Magic Marketing Solution) when delivered to a customer induces the customer to keep it permanently (in the purse or wallet) and use it often (on the PC) thus creating a long-term loyal customer. Magic Information Card will be used to educate the online shoppers and cultivate an online shopping community. Mi-Card can offer  Persistent Value Marketing; no other medium can offer such a cost-effective time-persistent marketing solution. The other two components of the solution, The Magic Directory and Magic Icon are perfect tools for supporting a large online shopping community. Keep reading and don't miss this life-time opportunity to participate! 

The intelligent medical search engine web site, Medical World search, has launched a sizable online shopping mart on Memorial Day (2003). The mart has grown to more than 150 businesses and merchants. It has generated over 200, 000 impressions and 2500 click-throughs among the Medical World Search members and audiences in less than 50 days without any marketing or advertising effort. This testifies that online shopping has great potential. However, the challenges are 

Magic Information Card To Promote Online Shopping

IPO2U.COM is working with TLC Information Services to develop an Online Shopping Card to promote its shopping mart. This approach of marketing is quite significant. It may just create a new 'Net Card', a card of all cards for online shopping. We welcome partner to explore this great opportunity.  

The objective of this magic information card is to make it to be recognized as 'The Online Shopping Card'. Using this card, customers can learn about online shopping and engage in a friendly online shopping experience. With its rich and interactive medium working offline and online, this card is a promotion card, a marketing card, a voice communication card, a transaction card, a payment card and a record keeping card. Its potential value is tremendous. For the specific objective to promote e-business and e-commerce and TLC's shopping mart, the magic information card (Online Shopping Card),  Based on the concept of value marketing discussed above, will deliver the following and other values to potential online shoppers: 

The Mi-Card will be organized to represent, display and feature the MWS Online Shopping Mart in the following manner:

The online shopping card will be packed with values from prospects' point of view, we are certain this Magic Information Card directed at selected demographical population will create a big splash creating hundreds of thousands of potential online shoppers. The merchants contained in this Magic Information Card will enjoy the benefits of value marketing and collective marketing. The merchants will be the founders of a big interactive online shopping community. Best of all, this marketing campaign will not cost millions like in TV and other media.  Mi-Card is the best and most cost effective media for accomplishing the objectives stated above.

Comparison with Other Media

The traditional marketing through TV (buying seconds), Radio (buying minutes), Newspaper (buying hours) and Magazines (buying days) requires persistent (months or years) spending of lots of money in order to establish a name or product recognition. The return is pitifully small and the measurement is notoriously unscientific. The Magic Marketing Solution is revolutionary in the sense that the Mi-Card can deliver persistent values to potential customers with an affordable cost. The card stays with the potential customers for years leveraging on the built-in communication tools, easily maintainable ClickCall directories and lots of information and utility values and persistent links. Hence, Mi-Card will establish a persistent relationship with potential customers no other media can. (See a comparison white paper on Mi-Card versus other media)

Splash with Online Shopping Card before the X'mas Season

Based on past experiences and statistics, we know the year end selling season is the most critical one for almost all businesses. For some companies, it may represent as much as 50% of the company's annual revenue. The online shopping although still small compared to the total regular retailing, but at X'mas time, the e-commerce vendors outgrow their brick-mortar counterparts 3-5 times in different categories of retail goods. No doubt, it will happen again this year. This Online Shopping Card will accelerate that growth even more. A retailer already engaged in online shopping will benefit greatly from this Online Shopping Card. This online shopping card will be widely distributed and will become a hot item of the coming year end season. The major benefits in participating in this unique and advantageous online shopping card are 

* Increasing your revenue significantly which you can not afford to ignore

* Recognized as a pioneer in leveraging mature technologies to provide a convenient and friendly online shopping experience to your customers (this online shopping card will be a splash and many probably will try to imitate and follow but you will be remembered as the pioneer) 

* Great exposure and focused promotion of your business and products at a very small cost (highly leveraging your own web site)

* Bringing more traffic to your web site in the most cost effective way (the click-throughs to your web site will be tremendous)

* Building a persistent bond and a long term relationship with your prospects and customers (User survey data and location information for you)

Participate in Online Shopping Card and Share the Success 

The format of the Online Shopping Card is of credit card size (fit in a wallet, ultimately it may replace the tens of magnetic credit cards people carry in the wallet or purse) with approximately 50MB of information capacity. The anchor stores will be carefully selected and the Mart Residents will be limited to quality choice. Conflict of interest and inappropriate businesses will not be included. Not all merchants in the current  MWSearch Online Shopping Mart (at www.mwsearch.com ) will be automatically included. The card supported Online Shopping Mart will be beautified and laid out to serve the online shoppers (Online web site will work with the card synergistically). This card will provide more space and speed than web sites for anchors and residents to offer their targeted promotions and products. A few preliminary mark-up and sample collections are shown as examples. (Online Shopping Card Markup, See the in-progress Mark-up Page)

The following will be included in the design: (See Samples in Progress - Markup)

Cover Page: Photographical, Autoload and Open with Browser, Special Greeting Button (and will return to Feature Page). Description of Value of this Magic Information Card. Anchor store names and total number of participants and number of business categories and a next button leading to Feature Pages. Glance of Table of Content. 

Anchor Feature: Display of Anchor Stores (limited to 4-8 Anchors), graphical logo and image provided by anchors, promotion of products and services supplied by anchors, links to Anchor's web site (must be returnable page), links to Mart residency, Pavilions and Earth CyberMart Directory. Links to valuable information, card content and web pages. 

Mart Residency: Display of all Mall Residents in a business category and in an alphabetical resident directory. Clickable links to resident display of logo, products and services (supplied by merchants), links to resident's web site (must be returnable page). Links to information and web pages promoting online shopping, statistics and valuable information, example daily currency conversion table.

Seasonal Pavilion: Displayed in the Seasonal Pavilion in  a separate directory. Clickable links to resident display of logo, products and services (supplied by merchants), links to resident's web site (must be returnable page). Links to information and web pages promoting online shopping, statistics and valuable information, example daily currency conversion table.

Earth CyberMart Directory: Alphabetical listing of all entries with hyperlink to merchant web site if available.

The progress beyond the samples will be available only for participants to browse (Markup pages). Participants should feel free to make suggestions to enhance the card value. 

Participants will be invited from a list of merchants offering online shopping. (Send an email to info@mwsearch.com to get invited) The MWSearch Online Shopping Mart ( www.mwsearch.com ) currently has 159 stores. (Click here to visit) Due to large collections of images and logos, the site retrieval may be slow. In the actual Online Shopping Card, most graphics, images and logos will be resident on the Card hence speeding up browsing for customers' convenience. This is another important advantage of the Online Shopping Card! Saving time and providing shopping convenience are key to successful online shopping. Naturally, participation in this card will have great advantages over those not participating. The magic power will continue to work for the merchants contained in this card. Participants will also be offered new opportunities as this card and future cards are going to be issued and distributed. The participants will be the pioneers of this Magic Online Shopping Community.
