Hyper Targeted Digital Marketing 7

With targeted digital marketing, you get multiple touches to a person, not a household

Display ads can be on desktop or mobile. Mobile is best since people are so engaged.

Hyper Targeting data providers know everything about you, including email and postal address AND your unique mobile device ID.

How it Works? 9

Campaigns start at just $500 for 15K people to get one email and 2 ads.

For $1500/month you get 40K e-mails and 150K displays every month.

Introducing Video Selling 11

Video Calls are Ubiquitous 12

Facetime, Skype, and Hangouts taught everyone about the ease and convenience of live video calls

Why not apply that to buying and selling furniture?

Why not grab web visitors right then on a video call and help them go from “might” to “will”?

You need a Video Selling solution like VideoEngager or iConnect:

● Anonymous consumer is on your web site, looking at a sofa

● There is a button right there offering - “See it now on live video”

● They click it and get an instant live video call with a sales rep in the store!

● The sales rep is now face-to-face with the buyer.

Video Selling uses the popularity of Video Calls
