The benefits of cost per call marketing are as like:
* Improve your sales
Sometimes web users are not happy dealing with businesses over the Internet and would rather contact them directly using a phone. This increases the chance of making a sale as product offerings and questions can be answered directly.
* Increase advertising effectiveness
In traditional online advertising, tracking phone calls as a result of your online advertising has been notoriously difficult. If someone clicks on your Google advert, for example, someone may be interested in your product but call you either directly, or weeks, possibly months later, which makes tracking enquiries difficult. With cost per click, this problem is removed.
* Reduce marketing fraud
Pay per click (or cost per click) marketing has been prone to click fraud over the last few years and this was even highlighted when Google floated on the stock exchange. With cost per call, the chances of fraud are significantly lower as searchers have to pick up the phone to make the connection with the advertiser. This process is significantly harder to automate and means that your budget should be protected.
Cost per call (also called Pay Per Call) has only just started on the main search engines and directories so advertising using this method is difficult as the technology is still in it's infancy although it has been in use in the USA since early 2005. However, the benefits are there for all to see, so expect cost per call advertising to be the biggest growth areas in online marketing during 2006.
