Marketing 2.0 in plain language
You can run, but you can’t hide!
Search Engines. Google. That we all know. But how to optimize our websites for search engines often seems like a big box of misty magic.
That’s going to change! My goal is to teach you – marketers, PRs, managers and entrepreneurs – the basic SEO skills you need to get your business visible in organic search results.
I’ll kick off by depositing 3 statements:
So, you are now on Twitter and you are welcoming your first followers. You must be thrilled with all the self promoting DM’s (Direct Messages) you receive every day. Sure, there are a lot of gold diggers on Twitter.
What you are after is building a qualitative network of followers. People that actually value what you have to contribute to the online conversation, and vice versa.
McKinsey change the purchase funnel!
Everyone knows the purchase funnel gets narrower towards the end, right? The entire marketing process has been aligned to this principle for more than forty years.
Well, now we can think again. McKinsey’s recent global study shows a definite change in the way consumers research and buy products. And that opens up ways of smarter marketing.
McKinsey have replaced the traditional purchase funnel with the ‘Customer decision journey’. At the beginning of this journey, the consumer begins with an ‘Initial consideration set’ of brands or products. So far, so much the same.
The benefits of an independent blogging platform…
OK, you decided to start a blog for the benefit of your business. While you are developing your blogging strategy you will hopefully stop and think for a moment about where to host the blog.
I sometimes have the feeling that many companies automatically place their blog on the domain of their own corporate website. But is this the right choice?
The difference between online publicity and online PR…
Once upon a time marketers had two main ways of getting their product or services noticed by consumers: advertising and publicity.
The principle of advertising is based on interruption. In order to get people’s attention you need a large degree of creativity or even humour. This helps people absorb your message and makes it stick.
The principle of publicity is based on getting placement in mass media. To compete in the battle for media inches, your story needs to have good news value.
