Please help me out this for my research report. Thank you.
I agree, not to say no one has the right to know they are being "targeted," but it’s not necessary because EVERYTHING around us is targeting us… It would be impossible to document that level of detail…
As a consumer, do you have a right to know when you’re the target of marketing?
Posted by admin | Under Target Marketing Saturday Nov 20, 2010What are some good 50th anniversary marketing campaign ideas for cosmetics?
Posted by admin | Under Marketing Campaign Saturday Nov 20, 2010
You could do a then and now compaign, showing women from 50 years ago using the cosmetics and then people today using the cosmetics. You know "making women beautiful for 50 years now". Or you could try and find the same women that were used 50 years ago and show them then and then now. Stuff like that. I hope that helps. GOOD LUCK!
Is the "free market" a mythological beast, when ’standards of living’ are unique to each country ?
Posted by admin | Under Marketing Automation Friday Nov 5, 2010Is it fair to expect our industries to compete when Labor can cost $5 a day in other countries, and Detroit has the burden of supporting employees replaced by automation at nearly 100% salary?
Each car produced by Detroit has a $2000 overhead cost associated with it. Since that cost would have been assumed by Gov relief, wouldn’t it be fair to tax non-US owned manufacturers that "standard of living tax"?
An oligopsony should be controlled, like monopolies were and eliminate schadenfreude.
Ruth-ee baby, the world ain’t equal and "capitalism" needs to reflect it’s unique social responsibility to it’s country. With a limited number of buyers for labor, it’s the gov that needs to control employers, as it does, but also with an "standard of living equity" tax. Not fascism just common sense.
Back in the 1980’s the political buzz was "What we need is a level playing field".
I said at that time: "You can’t have a level playing field until each nation has an equal standard of living. The trick is going to be getting them to bring themselves up to our standard of living, NOT bringing ourselves down to their standard of living."
I still maintain that is true. – Unfortunately, it seems the elites in our society want the rest of us to take the less wise course so they can maintain their elite status.
What are we becoming? A nation of Lords and serfs?
What’s the hold music that every company and business seems to have?
Posted by admin | Under Business to Business Marketing Friday Nov 5, 2010I work for a business-to-business marketing firm where I place roughly 400 calls each day to various businesses across the United States. It seems that on a daily basis, regardless of the company or state, I get the same hold music song. It’s very "new age" sounding and kind of quiet and slow. Can anyone tell me what song I am referring to? Suggestions even? Thanks.
It’s not the same song, though if you’re impatient on the phone and not getting what you need/want I bet it sounds exactly the same and 400 minutes long.

Role of SEO in Online Marketing
Posted by admin | Under Target Marketing Friday Oct 29, 2010
Online marketing, also known as Internet marketing, is simply the marketing of products and service offerings via the Internet. With the explosion of Internet onto the scene, almost every home is connected to your product or service through online marketing. You may have a great service or the perfect product and a fantastic website but that will not ensure visitors to your site. So it’s important to get the Internet marketing right.
Online marketing comes in various forms – banner ads, email marketing, paid inclusions, pay per click, affiliate advertising and search engine optimization (SEO). The growth of online marketing has been fueled largely by the expansion of the Internet audience and the convenience a customer can be offered in terms of purchasing online. With the large audience out there, you will want to get as many visitors as possible to your site. This brings us into the realm of SEO, since this is becoming one of the main avenues for an online business to try to increase virtual footfalls to the site.
Let’s first talk about SEO – what is it? Put simply, it is the use of an algorithm to improve a sites search engine rankings or hits. This is done by an Internet marketer to try to improve the quantity as well as the quality of visitors to their website. The concept of improved quality is also important here – it is essential to direct the right traffic, people searching for the product or service that you offer or something similar, rather than simply a random selection of people looking for something else. Ideally, your SEO strategy should work with your target market in mind and work towards attracting this target market to the site. Relevance is key, since people looking for a web-hosted tax planning software will not buy wedding invitations, even if driven to the website and will be disappointed.
SEO is important because it covers most of the key areas that marketers need to address while selling and advertising online – it generates awareness, it leads to acquisition of customers and conversion of visitors to customers, and optimizes the marketing efforts to target buyers.
The value of increased, relevant traffic to the site will most likely guarantee increased sales. SEO marketing offers information about your product offering when the interest from visitors is high and, once directed to your site, the visitor can be converted to a buyer immediately. Most companies build out their online marketing strategies keeping SEO in mind. This is essential to the success of a marketing plan, since a good SEO plan can be supported by a pertinent emailing marketing campaign and other PR programs.
Thus, the role of SEO is so vital to a successful online Marketing Campaign that it can be considered a separate tactic in itself but it is best to make it a well-planned segment of an organized strategy. Consider this: an inappropriately planned SEO may result in wasted resources, optimizing factors that do not link back to the correct target audience in the midst of a highly competitive and growing online marketplace. While many SEO experts and marketers may dispute the process to successful SEO (some say page linking, some keyword basics, others copywriting and so on), one thing most people agree on is constructing an SEO that is closely connected with your marketing strategy so that each supports the other.

Highy Rated Strategy in Content Based Internet Marketing
Posted by admin | Under Marketing Campaign Friday Oct 29, 2010
After all, the Internet exists primarily as a source and medium whereby Information and content is exchanged. As webmasters, they create valuable one-way links from relevant content they publish, and also builds the overall size of your web site thereby increasing page rank. As well as the above, it improves search results pertaining to relevant keywords all the while providing useful information to the web search consumer.
By building your overall web site promotional strategy around quality content based Internet marketing using blogs, press release distribution, e-mail marketing, article directory submission, and e-zines you are creating a network of links back to your site and branding your self and business as an expert in your industry.
We are not going to bore you with details but only the basics of what you need to do to effectively promote your site on the Internet to maximum your results. The following three strategies should be the staple of any Internet marketing campaign and produce results.
This is not to say that you should not incorporate over forms of web site promotion. The most successful web sites use a variety of Internet marketing strategies including content based internet marketing and paid advertising such as pay per click.
Blogging
When clients ask what about our recommendations for internet marketing and web site promotion our first response is always with regard to blogging. While a well-rounded Internet Marketing Campaign is best, to optimize success there are few methods more effective in the long term for improving search engine ranking and page rank than blogging.
Internet marketers who utilize Content Based Internet Marketing strategies and who publish fresh content to their blogs daily, see very positive results in terms of keyword ranking, page rank and overall incoming traffic through their blogs. This is because the search engines love blogs.
A blog is the perfect content management solution. It allows you to publish fresh articles with ease on a regular basis. By posting a new optimized article daily for a different keyword or keyword phrase clients will eventually have hundreds of content rich pages optimized for all of the possible keyword combinations related to their industry.
We recommend that you publish one article to your blog daily every single day of the year. This is very important because consistency is the most important thing. The search engines send out there spiders on a regular basis and once they see that you publish new content to your site daily they will start visiting your site more often indexing your new pages more often. These means your new articles pages will rise to the top of the search engines that much more quickly.
If you do not have a blog you can visit blogger.com or Wordpress for information on installing a free blog on your web site. In order for your blog to effectively bring traffic to your site it needs to be hosted on your server and not on a separate web host. A blog hosted at blogspot or another hosting service will not be nearly as effective in bringing you targeted traffic or increasing your search engine rankings.
Article Directory Submission
We recommend that you submit original articles every month to various article directories with links back to your site. If you want these articles to have the most impact on increasing your page rank the article directories you submit to should have a Google page rank of 4 or better.
If you are not sure what their page rank is you can download Google’s tool bar which attaches to your browser and will provide all of these information and more. The Google toolbar is a must for any serious Internet marketer. You can download the toolbar free from the Google website.
Press Release Distribution
Another component of an effective content based Internet marketing campaign is press release distribution. Distributing press releases on a regular basis through newswire distribution services will create both immediate traffic and inbound links back to your site as the press releases are picked up and posted on web sites.
An example of a good press release distribution service is PRWeb.com. PR Web will distribute your press release for free but you can receive enhanced distribution for additional fees. For example, for a payment of $80.00 you can be guaranteed to be included in Yahoo News. We have been very successful in using press release distribution in marketing our client’s web sites.
It is important that your press release read like a news story and cover newsworthy information. Press releases that sound like advertisements are not likely to be accepted by PR Web.
Before following the advice of any Internet marketing guru or web site promotion expert I recommend that you evaluate the results achieved by the service or expert.
Does he or she have a high traffic web site?
Do they have a page rank of 4 or better?
What is their Alexa.com traffic ranking? Remember that ratings over 100,000 are probably not that accurate according to Alexa.com. Any site with a rating under 100,000 is probably fairly accurate and getting a decent amount of traffic.
How many back links are being recognized by the big three search engines. (Google, Yahoo and MSN)
If a so-called web site promotion expert does not have a successful web site and is not doing those things they are teaching, then how can you know that the strategies are effective.
The other part of the equation is that some of the Internet marketing tactics taught on the web are effective for producing traffic quickly but not for the long term.
They are often tricks or short cuts that have the appearance of being effective but do not generate long term qualified or targeted traffic and more importantly sales. These are the things to consider when evaluating any claims by Internet marketing experts or gurus.
