It’s that time for us to find the marketer who best uses Infusionsoft to market their business and reward them for it. Last year’s Ultimate Marketer was a huge success, where Dan Bradbury drove away with a Porsche (and traded that in for an Aston Martin) so we’re bringing it back and introducing more ways where you can win and score yourself a sweet vacation package to anywhere in the world.
We sent customers notifications to their app as well as via email informing them we’re taking submissions for the 2010 Ultimate Marketer Contest. Yes, it’s on and you can totally score yourself some sweet prizes just by doing what you’re already doing to attract more leads, follow-up with customers and close more deals with Infusionsoft.
The theme for the Ultimate Marketer Contest is “Double Your X,” which refers to the fact that as entrepreneurs you use many different metrics to measure your success of marketing efforts. You could replace “X” with sales, customers, website traffic, leads, repeat customers, conversion rates, time with family or social media campaigns. We know sales volume is the general metric for measuring growth, but not everyone measures their small business that way, so we’ve opened the contest up so anyone can apply if they’ve netted some impressive results in either of the above areas.
The entry period is from now to December 31st, 2009. You have plenty of time to gather your results, lessons learned and prepare your entry. But, what you want to do is to let us know you are applying to become the next Ultimate Marketer.
We’ll review the entries and look at all factors put into a winning campaign. The only requirement to win is that you must be an Infusionsoft customer and you want to show how Infusionsoft is helping you grow or sustain your growth of your business. We’ll ask the finalists to present at the upcoming InfusionCon 2010 conference and from there, the winners will be chosen. (We’re still workin’ on the site, so stay tuned for more details on it.)
We received feedback from several people at InfusionCon last year saying they could have entered and won – now is your chance! It’s alright if you’re not completely sure, you can enter and decide if your wish to nominate your business later.
“This is a great way for us to reward customers for their creativity and execution of their marketing campaigns,” says Nicole Shoots, the marketing coordinator for Infusionsoft. “We’re excited to open up the contest to more entrepreneurs so they can win and help other users leverage Infusionsoft in ways people could only dream of.”
Check out the Ultimate Marketer contest page for more details, so you can apply. Rules and other conditions will be provided after your let us know you’re interested. It’s a great way to become noticed for your creative marketing campaigns. You decide what marketing effort was successful and we’ll pick the winner.
If you have any questions, let us know. I’ll work with Nicole to help you apply and address any concerns you have. (Oh, and if you have fashion-related questions, she’ll answer those too.)
