Internet Marketing Strategy

admin — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 21:27:26 +0000

Many companies are finally starting to realize the importance of an internet marketing campaign but many are still lacking when it comes to blogging and video sharing. Internet marketing is a multi-faceted field that requires more than one form of internet media to be successful.

Some people lump in blogging and video sharing with social media. Technically by terms, they are social media, but in today’s time people consider them something separate. Most people consider social media as Facebook, Twitter, Linked In and the like. Youtube does get put in the same category but it is a different type of sharing and should be treated as a separate part of the strategy.

Youtube is an extremely effective way to market a company. In today’s time, people are much more responsive to videos than they are to type or to articles. Every company should have a Youtube channel and should post videos that pertain to their company on that channel. For example, there are videos for Elixir Interactive on their Youtube channel, which are informative and pertinent. Youtube reaches millions of people every single day, and there have been many people as well as companies that have gotten notoriety because of a youtube video.

Blogging is also an incredibly important tool for a company to utilize. A blog will update followers, viewers and internet users about what is going on with a company, any new products or news, and also continues to build excitement in a brand. People today live in a very fast paced world and as a result they are always interested in the next big idea or item. A company that has a blog and keeps it updated will keep interest in their brand and will be able to reach all types of viewers. An example of a great blog is, elixirinteractive.org.

Internet marketing is extremely important to the success of a company. An internet campaign must be rooted in different forms of media to be an effective campaign.

Creative Marketing

With the constant evolution of technology, companies are turning to new means of advertising and marketing. These new changes have sparked all kinds of creative new ideas and ways of reaching the public.

The first way is obviously through the internet. A company’s website is crucial to the survival and promotion of their brand and to informing the public. Many companies have turned to professional web developers to make sure that their website is exciting, informative and effective. Social media marketing has become extremely important to the promotion of a company, as it is a free outlet to market their brand. While traditionally, twitter and facebook were used for individual purposes, now more and more businesses are creating these accounts. For example, Transglobe Property Management utilizes twitter and you can follow them at @TransGlobe_MGT for updates and news snippets.

The internet is a very effective marketing tool but many businesses have turned to even more creative ways to get their name out into the general public. One ways is through cars, the Transglobe Smart Cars are a great example, they are small, energy efficient cars which stand out because of their small size. This company had a custom skin designed for the car which promotes their name and has their contact information on the car, when people see them driving on the street they immediately know it is a Transglobe car. Other companies have done this such as Truly Nolan, with their mouse cars.

Another fad that seems to be picking up is the flash mob. While this is typically not used for corporate promotion, the idea is very effective as it is quickly spread through all kinds of media. A flash mob consists of a group of people who plan to perform a synchronized dance or movement at a certain time to spark interest and attention. They usually take place in a heavily trafficked area and at a peak trafficked time.

Although the downturn of the economy has presented many challenges for many people, it has caused many to utilize their creative abilities to create new content and advertising techniques.

Online Success & Internet Marketing

admin — Sun, 27 Mar 2011 07:00:00 +0000

Effective marketing campaigns have to include an internet component. While some television and print campaigns may still generate interest and win awards, even they will find their way to the internet where the public at large will discuss and dissect the spots and make their own decisions about effectiveness. It is much better for companies to incorporate the internet side of things. Then they will have a better chance of influencing it. Otherwise, this important component will be in the hands of the audience instead of the professionals.

To succeed in online marketing, companies need to have a solid understanding of their target market. Conducting consumer research and identifying how that audience interacts on the internet will advise a business as to whether they would be more successful with a company channel on YouTube or by running a contest utilizing Twitter. It will also tell them whether they can reach more of their target demographic through an ad on a sports blog or by participating in Facebook communities.

To really know if a company has grasped the nuances of internet marketing, look at how they deal with online complaints about their services and products. Those that ignore complaints or attack their detractors only prove that they do not fully understand the importance of their internet reputation and the impact that internet trend setters have on influencing public opinion. Companies who address complaints quickly with apologizes, restitution, and changes in policy and procedures have learned to respect the online audience and are much more likely to come out on top.

Online VS Offline Marketing

admin — Thu, 25 Feb 2010 18:39:43 +0000

Offline marketing tools are the time tested strategies. Even in an ever growing Internet based society, television ads and billboards are still viable means of advertising. However, it may be difficult to track just how successful these campaigns are, difficult to track the results. Marketing companies must make educated guesses on how well a particular campaign or a specific ad has done and educated guesses on where to go from there. This affects all businesses, from restaurants to property management firms , to beauty salons. One of the wonderful aspects of online marketing is that it can be tracked exactly, as the feedback regarding the efforts are immediately available. Budgets, venues and strategies can be change quickly giving any advertising department the opportunity to in the most efficient and effective way. This allows those restaurants the flexibility to change their ads before it becomes too late, before customers start showing up expecting the same deals or the same kind of menu that was online the night before. It allows a company like TransGlobe , a property management company which specializes in finding appropriate matches between renters and rental properties, to track their audiences. It allows them the opportunity to notice that one of their target audiences is the college students throughout the country of Canada and they can create special websites designed just for those students. And it allows enhancement of tracking, so that the smaller beauty salon on the corner does not need to wait a month to find out whether their ads or their websites have worked to bring in customers. Small businesses especially need to have this kind of immediate response in order to stay in business. So while the newspaper and magazine ads are still viable forms of advertising and marketing, there is nothing that can compare to online marketing nor to the knowledge companies can gain immediately, about the response to and the effects of their advertising campaigns.
