Use
Your Web Site for Promotional Code Tracking
Your
Web site is a valuable tool to track special offers to targeted
groups. Let CableNetWorkz show you how to use your Web site to track:
CableNetWorkz
can add a field for tracking special promotional codes to your Web
site's sales lead capture forms. Each record in your sales lead
database will include this promotional code, along with the date
and time the request was submitted. You can track orders received
fromeach group when you download them from your Web site's online
sales lead database. 
This
easy-to-use feature can be used to enhance your marketing and sales
effort in the following ways:
Affinity
Groups
When
you develop special offers targeted to members of a specific club,
association, business or church, give each group a different code
word or password. Tell the group leaders to have members sign up
for cable service on your Web site using their special code word
and their group will receive a donation.
For
example, the promotion may be that for every person who signs up
for service and enters the pre-assigned password, the local Kiwanis
Club will receive $10. Have the Kiwanis Club hand out a flyer or
postcard that includes the promotion details, the special group
code and the Web site address. Then, just download the orders from
your CableNetWorkz database and write a check to the Kiwanis Club
for the installs you complete.

Test
Offers
Identify a group of subscribers for special test offers. You can
track the effectiveness of each offer by giving each group a different
promotional code. The code is entered when the subscriber signs
up for service on the Web site.
For
example you may want to break HBO subscribers into three separate
groups and send a different digital upgrade offer to each group
using direct mail. Print a different promotional code for each offer
on the direct mail piece. Instruct the mail recipient to redeem
their special offer online by supplying the promotional code in
the space provided on the online sign-up form. When you download
the database of leads, you can measure the success of each offer
based on which ones generated the highest response.

Special
Offers
You can target special offers through direct mail and e-mail announcements
and drive order traffic to your Web site.
For
example, you may want to offer a special Road Runner subscription
price to customers with more than one premium service. Send them
a personalized letter describing this special price and the promotional
code and direct them to sign-up online. Then, download the sales
leads and schedule the installs.
