We offer additional marketing services!

PRESS SERVICES:

Press release: The VA marketing team will compose a press release for your auction or company put it out on multiple newswires for your upcoming event. This release will then be distributed to many search engines, industry channels, news outlets and RSS feeds. This is a very productive way to be picked up by major news sources.

Pitch letter: Virtual Auction’s marketing department will craft a brief media pitch targeted at industry specific publications who would be interested in covering your auction. We will target either your largest items or the auction as a whole depending on the news quality. This is used for both online and traditional media coverage.

SOCIAL MEDIA SERVICES:

Blogging: Virtual Auction will promote your auctions on our network of blogs by writing industry specific articles about your auctions and submitting them to online media sources for publication.

Social networking: Virtual Auction will promote your auctions on Twitter, Facebook, youtube.com and other social networking forums. We will “start a conversation” about your auctions and skew your brand as an industry authority.

Google base: Our staff will do a Google Base export of auction data. This will increase your visibility and increase search results. We will also list your auctions on other auction listing websites that will help build their visibility.

EMAIL AND POSTING SERVICES:

Targeted Email blasts: We can design and distribute send targeted spam free email blasts to your current customers. We suggest at least two blasts featuring your key items with a call to action leading up to the auction.

New Lead Lists: We have the ability to obtain our own leads of targeted buyers in your industry/area. This is a perfect compliment to email marketing campaign.

Craigslist Postings: Our posting plan consists of designing a Craigslist add complete with direct linking to your auctions. That ad is then posted in multiple cities and categories to increase web traffic and registrations on the products.

Voicemail blast or SMS Blast: In this plan we can arrange a voicemail or SMS text blast to remind your current customers of the upcoming event.

ADVERTISING OPTIONS:

Facebook Ad: A facebook ad campaign is an ideal way to target users in your specific market segment. We will design the ad for you and coordinate the release.

Industry Ad: We will design and coordinate the purchase advertisements in industry publications. We think that buying a one-off ad has value in this situation.
