HR and Marketing Shake Hands and Decide to Merge in the Newly Social and Di
2009-11-25 17:35:00 The more I look the more I feel HR and Marketing will Merge in the Digital Social Media I first began looking to correlate HR and marketing a good 4 or 5 years back for a human resource management project during my BMS days. And while I suddenly realize it to be a long time, I also applaud my own vision back then. Jokes apart, digital media and social media in particular by powering people’s need for self expression is creating momentous changes in the way both brands as well as entire businesses function. And in the process it a business and its brands cease to seem separate. Which then suggests that the partners of a brand (usually consumers) and partners of a business (usually employees) cease to seem separate. This is the idea, and I must admit I see it echoing on various minds these days in some form or the other. Going back a little into our high school science journals, I’d like to place some observations to validate this hypothesis if I can call it one. They a...

The bag said:Now arriving on the "L" Service available on thered and blue linesThe treat's on usThat's it. Seems rather cryptic. Except, since I'm the CTA Tattler, I know right away T-Mobile was trying to hype the new availability of phone and data service in the subway tunnels. Except it didn't say "subway" or "tunnel" anywhere on the little bag. Now, that's just bad marketing.So I've taken the liberty of editing the copy for T-Mobile.

2009-11-01 19:39:00 It is rumored that Fedor Emelianenko and Brett Rogers will both appear at the Chicago Bears game against the Cleveland Browns today.

Protecting Your Brand Online: The New Marketing Imperative
2009-09-22 23:20:00 There's no question that the Internet is an ideal venue for marketing, but along with the advantages come risks. Because the online world has seen so little formal policing, it's ideal for the “hijacking” of brands online. Scammers have realized that the value and power of your brand is very good for business—their business. Whether the illicit activities are aimed at diverting traffic to competing businesses or stealing directly from your bottom line, they all have the effect of eroding brand value and devaluing your marketing investments and revenue.As a result, the online world requires closer monitoring and because online brand abuse causes substantial brand erosion, lost revenue, diminished customer trust, and tarnished reputation—marketers may have the greatest stake of anyone when it comes to protecting brands online.Request Free!

China Marketing And Branding. Reading The Tea Leaves.
2009-09-20 22:08:00 The DragonBeat blog has a great post, entitled, "Why foreigners are beating China’s tea-makers on their home turf." The post is on why China has none of the leading tea brands worldwide, but what it says pretty much applies across the board to Chinese branding in general. The comments are interesting as well, with many of them complaining about how bad Lipton tea is and how the Lipton market is completely different from the market for Chinese tea. Wrong. If anything, Lipton is a classic example of great branding and of how a Western company has managed to take a ho-hum product (in this case, Lipton tea) and market it in such a way as to trump the market. When will there be a Chinese Lipton and who will that be?

One Marketing Question That Can Give You Bigger Pockets Every Time!
2009-09-19 22:25:00 When I first got started in real estate, out of all things that could be important, there was one thing that stood out the most . . . Having a website! Now, I'm not saying you have to have a website in order to be successful in real estate, however I'm sure you see how powerful a website can be, if used correctly. Just look at this website! Anyway, in spite of all the buttons, features, images and whatever else that makes a website look pretty, there is one portion of a website that you should be most concerned with. If you don't have it, then you need to get one fast! I only care about one portion of my website (on the backend) and that is my Lead Questionnaire Form. Basically this form asks questions that allow me to qualify/disqualify leads based on the type of investing strategy I use, as well as their motivation and their ability to do a deal.This Article is Copyright © 2004-2009 BiggerPockets, Inc.

Real Estate Marketing Campaigns: Aim Before You Shoot
2009-09-19 16:24:00 I received the Google Analytics newsletter the other day in the mail and it got me thinking about long tail keywords. But Peter Kolat has already written some great posts about that subject, so I shifted my thinking more generally to targeting your prospects. Because that?s what using long tail keywords is really about, after all ? honing in on the prospects that are searching specifically for what you offer. What?s in it for me? Let?s do a thought experiment: Imagine you?re looking for someone to clean up and fix the houses you buy before you flip them. You happen, just as you?re thinking about it, to get three postcards in the mail.This Article is Copyright © 2004-2009 BiggerPockets, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
