We no longer rely on billboards and TV advertising, examples of outbound marketing , to learn about new products. The Internet has empowered us beyond them. As the Internet has evolved we have alternative methods for finding, buying and researching products, services and brands. The new marketing tools, or inbound marketing, has become a two way interactive medium, much of which is powered by social media and interactive websites. Another benefit to inboud marketing is that it costs less than traditional marketing. Why try to buy your way in when consumers aren’t even paying attention?
Inbound marketing focuses not on buying, but instead on earning a person’s attention. It accomplishes this through through social media and engaging content, such as blogs, postings, podcasts, current content and online white papers. The content is interesting, informative and adds value, creating a positive interaction in the eyes of the consumer, thus making him more likely to engage a brand and buy a product. It simple costs less and has better a ROI. Share and Enjoy
CPM: Cost per impression; the cost of an online advert per thousand views. The M stands for the Roman Numeral representing 1,000. For example, in banner advertising you pay for each 1,000 ad views your banner receives. So CPM = C=Cost P=Per M=1,000. CPC: Cost per click; aka PPC: Pay per click; this is an online advertising model used to direct traffic (human eyeballs) to websites, where advertisers pay the publisher (website owner) when the ad is clicked. Among CPC/PPC providers, Google AdWords, Yahoo! Search Marketing and Microsoft adCenter are the 3 largest network operators, and all 3 operate under a bid-based model. That means that advertisers paying these sites typically bid on keyword phrases relevant to their target market. So if you’re a social media consulting firm, you would bid on search terms like “social media” “social networking”, “social media consulting”, etc. CPL: Cost per lead; is an online advertising model in which the advertiser pays for an explicit sign-up from a consumer interested in the advertised offer. In contrast to the aforementioned models, advertisers only pay for qualified sign-ups making CPL pricing models the holy grail of the online advertising ROI hierarchy. CPA: Cost per action; an online advertising pricing model, in which the advertiser pays for each specified action (a purchase, a form submission, etc) linked to an advertisement. As opposed to brand marketing, direct response advertisers consider CPA the optimal way to buy online advertising, as an advertiser only pays for the ad when the desired action has occurred. CPA is sometimes referred to as “cost per acquisition“, which typically has to do with acquiring new customers with advertising. Using the term “cost per acquisition” instead of “cost per action” is not incorrect in such cases, but not all “cost per action” offers can be referred to as “cost per acquisition“.
Share and EnjoyAs a company, Quickdeal has decided to provide our services in cities or towns of all sizes. We are currently in over The larger cities are an easy choice, more people, more users, more value to our users and our advertising and marketing partners. We also have larger established competition in many of those cities. In addtion, We serve a number of small communities, some as small as several thousand people. We believe that we are able to provide them a product that the larger players are overlooking. Our hope is that with the communities help, we can be the big fish in the small pond by providing them services to their local market that others are passing by. With a focus on LOCAL, do you like the approach of focusing on communities of all sizes? What do you think? Share and EnjoyYesterday, we had one of our partners request that within his business listing we remove the social media buttons (Facebook, LinkedIn and twitter). We certainly respect all opinions and points of view and accommodated his request. His reasoning was that he had heard bad things about Facebook, that it was too easy for people to say negative things and that he didn’t understand or use any of them. Can’t argue with that. This gentleman is part of a quality, established company and has the option of not being part of the online social world, especially in the near term. Although I certainly agree that it is sometimes too easy to say something online that you would never say directly in person, I believe that as the online world evolves we are going to have to embrace the good with the bad. I would even go further and say that we are already seeing a lot of the bad as users, providers and abusers learn and figure this all out. What is the alternative? One approach is to choose to not participate in parts or any of the online world. This may and probably will work for those that are established and have good traditional social networks (real life) and have a following of satisfied customers paired with a good reputation. However, this assumes that if you are not part of the social media, then you won’t be part of the discussion. Perhaps, it does reduce your involvement in the discussion, but it certainly doesn’t eliminate it. Further, are you giving up the opportunity to be part of a discussion that is occurring about you, somewhat directing or controlling it with or without you. It’s a crazy new world, changing quicker than anyone expected and the rules are being made up as we go. Let’s make sure we update those rules often and wisely. Share and EnjoyAuthor: Doug Weller More than 30 years ago when I began my journalism career, we didn’t have Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, LinkedIn or any of the other new communication tools that we have today. But we did have senior editors who gave good advice. Some of that advice has lasted a lifetime for me. It should be taken on board by those using new media and social media today. I can remember on my second day as a “cub reporter”, an editor said (or screamed), “If in doubt, leave out”. Throughout the years, I have passed those words on to younger journalists and I now find myself giving the same advice to clients who need to deal with media situations. That advice is even more relevant now as we all try to grapple with and use social media and social networking. We began talking about social media and social networking in our media training courses when it became clear that clients could use these tools to extend their media reach, but more importantly, when it was clear the damage that could be caused when not controlled. Every day, the list of those being hammered by the misuse of new media grows:
While new and social media expands our ability to reach new and larger audiences, it needs to be treated with extreme caution. The absence of journalists or interviewers can lead people to relax to the point where little thought is put into what is being posted or broadcast. The problem is compounded by the ability of these networks to go “viral” and send the information rapidly to hundreds, if not millions, of people. Journalists are also using sites like Facebook for research as hot issues arise. While on Facebook, don’t think that limiting the number of people who can access your Facebook site is a safeguard – it’s NOT. Text and pictures can be copied in a moment and spread far-and-wide and you have no control over this. There is one simple test for new and social media postings for you and your team. Would you be happy to see your new and social media offerings on the front page of the newspaper or on the TV news? If so, go ahead and hit “send”. If not, think about it. As my crabby old editor said more than 30 years ago – “If in doubt, leave out”. About the Author Doug Weller is an Australian Media Training Expert.
