Pay-Per-Call (PPCall) model is once again re-invented to
boost small and medium business to take advantage of internet surfers, the new
model allows business owners to advertise on search engine but this time
allowing shoppers to dial in through 1-800-XXX-XXXX(toll free) numbers and
complete the transaction.
The Ingenio PPCall system and other companies have taken a giant
leap over this new model by devising a mechanism to allow business owners to bid
on certain keywords on search engines and display the results with calling
numbers that will be re-routed to your business and charge per call based on the
highest bid amount.
Overview of Pay Per Call Model
Pay Per Call is mix of old and new concepts, the hybrid
solution mixes the latest internet search technology and the good old telephone
marketing to increase your sales.
Small business owners are constantly
looking out to advertise in their space, they could make use of this new model
with a conservative approach, "pay as they call", thus bringing value to their
bucks.
