Can your website utilize the Paper Gift Certificate Module?  Let's find out.

The Content Management System (CMS) is the platform a website is built on.   The easiest way to understand it is to think of the difference between a PC and MAC.   You can't run MAC software on  a PC and vice versa.    The Paper Gift Certificate Module is built for the CMS platform called WordPress.  WordPress is the most popular CMS in the world.  Currently, 30% of the entirety of the Internet resolves to a WordPress site.   Your website must be running the WordPress CMS in order to be able to utilize the Paper Gift Certificate Module.

   Not sure if your website is running WordPress?   Find out quickly and easily right now!

There are multiple ways to ascertain whether or not your website is using WordPress.   However, they all require some degree of technical skill.   To make things easier, I  have developed the Paper Gift Certificate Qualification Module.   It does all the heavy lifting for you by automatically scanning and checking for various file structures in the source code that are specific to WordPress.  All you have to do is  type in the URL (ie.  cpwebmarketing.com) or copy and paste from your browser's address bar and click validate.  Try it out in the box below to find out if your website qualifies right now!

UPDATED! If your site doesn't qualify....

Do not despair. So long as you have a dedicated hosting solution and aren't using a one click site builder (like Wix) most of the time we are able to do a parallel installation of WordPress alongside your existing website. A parallel installation is essentially a secondary (WordPress) website inside your current website. It it is loaded seamlessly from a sub-directory when your customers click through the links to purchase their paper gift certificates. We will design it to match your existing layout with links back to rest of the content on your site. Your customers will never know the difference.

Now Your Business Never Sleeps.

 
  Having the Paper Gift Certificate Module functionality on your website makes sure that the register can keep ringing even after the lights go out and door is locked.

Easy Conversions from Last Minute Shoppers

 
  Your business will be an easy, any time option for last minute gift givers.

Your Customers Shop At Their Convenience.

 
  The option to shop from the comfort of home instead of having to visit your business in person to buy a gift card can mean all the difference between them choosing you or your competitor.

A Perfect Fit

Your installation includes a custom designed landing page that will fit seamlessly with the design and template of your existing website.

We will create as many products in every possible denomination or packaged service required to serve your needs.

Here is an example of a custom designed page for Italian Affair Restaurant and Wine Bar, Glassboro NJ.

No more cash in the trash.

As a successful entrepreneur, you already know that  attracting new customers by increasing brand awareness is absolutely essential for growth.  You've also likely been conditioned to think of increasing brand awareness and attracting those new customers as a necessary expense that is inevitably going to cost you money in the short term. You are hopeful that it turns out to be a wise investment that pays dividends in the future.   Every week you are inundated by calls and emails from 3rd party marketers pitching their newest programs.  You are tracked down at your place of business relentlessly by advertising reps who promise to help grow your business with their latest marketing schemes.    Some of these programs are effective.   Some of them they aren't.   Many times you have no way of measuring the results.   Often times these programs attract the wrong types of customers.  They almost always end up being an immediate net loss after you pay for advertising creation, distribution, and absorb the discount offered to the customer.

It doesn't have to be this way anymore!

It's time to kick Groupon to the curb.  No more costly paper mailers that just get thrown away.   No more discount membership card programs.  No more loss leaders.
 

With the Paper Gift Certificate Module and a small budget for Targeted Marketing you can actually increase brand awareness, attract the right new customers, and still MAKE money (instead of losing it) all at the same time.
 

Flexibility
 
Programs like Groupon encourage you to offer discounts of 50% or more to attract new customers!   Offering a 50% discount, a 1% conversion rate on your targeted advertising would be very conservative.   You would likely exhaust the number of certificates offered before the advertising budget runs out.  Most likely ,you can reach that conversion rate or better by offering substantially less of a discount.  You will have the flexibility to find the sweet spot by conducting multiple smaller campaigns in order to find the optimal offer that generates the most revenue possible while maximizing new customer acquisition and brand awareness.
 

Quality matters.  Market to the right customers to multiply effectiveness and maximize efficiency.
 
Utilizing the Paper Gift Certificate Module and targeted marketing campaigns to generate a net positive cash flow is not the only advantage this strategy offers over traditional marketing channels like Groupon.   Targeted Marketing Campaigns allow you to minimize or exclude demographics that aren't likely to become a new regular customers.   You can also minimize and exclude exposing your already existing regular customers.   We understand how infuriating it can be for a business owner to run a costly Groupon campaign only to have it bring in nothing but out of town deal chasers you will never see again and existing regular customers who would have come in and paid full price anyway.
 

Expand Your Email List
 
When someone signs up for Groupon to take advantage of a deal you're offering,  Groupon collects another email address that they can utilize for their own purposes.  You are footing the bill for them to collect information about your customers and they are reaping the rewards.   With CP Web Marketing, every time someone buys one of your certificates you take ownership of their name and email address and have it added to your MailChimp email list for future campaigns.
 

Analyze the Analytics
 
Utilizing Google Analytics we can find out who your visitors are.   Male or female?   Age?   Interests?  Where did they come from?   What pages did they look at on your website?  How long did they spend browsing?  Did they buy anything?   What did they buy?   As we learn more and more about your customers we can refine and optimize your campaigns to return more traffic and conversions on smaller budgets.
