Direct media is media that you create to go out to your target market with your focused message. Your direct media could be your brochures, it could be your white papers, it could be your "shock & awe" package.
Your direct media could also be contained on your website, in the blogs that you write or the videos your create for your YouTube channel. It could be information that you're sending in the mail. It could be postcards that you're creating and sending out to a prospect. It could be an email campaign that you have created that begins when somebody requests a copy of your book.
Smart marketers establish an automated system that initiates when someone requests a copy of their book. You then mail them a copy of your book with some other information about your company, then they get put into a drip email campaign where they are going to receive messages from you over the next three, four, five weeks (or months) educating them about their needs and their issues and how you can solve their problems and perhaps offer them a one-hour consultation to discuss their issue. That's direct media.

When they're requesting information from you, they obviously have a need. They're not going to be requesting your book if they have no interest in what you do. Obviously they have some interest, they've raised their hand, they've said, "Yes, send me a copy of your book."
Well, they're going to get a copy of your book all right, but they're going to get some other information-some direct media-that you've created that's going to make you stand out in a category of one. They're going to get all this and they're going to say,
"WOW!, this guy's incredible. He really knows what he's talking about. Look at this. Look at this. Let me go here."
They'll go to your YouTube channel and see some videos that you've created as direct media. They're going to see the information that you've provided. They're going to see you as different from everyone else.
Media is not just what the salespeople who are knocking on your door every day are trying to sell you; radio, television, magazines, newspaper, SEO, etc. Those are a different type of media.
Direct media is media that you create for the purpose of engaging directly with those interested prospects who are requesting information. People you are interacting with. People you are wooing to become a client. People who are searching for answers.
You want a series of direct media created specifically to position you as the expert in their mind. This doesn't happen immediately. It takes place over a period of time because people don't contact you, most of the time, having a need today. They have some interest, they know they have a need, but there's a process that they have to walk through.
In my book I call this process The Alphabet Maze. People have to walk through the Alphabet Maze to come to know, like, and trust you before they feel comfortable taking the next step with you. You have to be patient and be willing to wait for them to be ready to make take the next step.
Inside the Alphabet Maze is a lot of direct media that you create to show up like nobody else does. You're going to be touching them through a variety of media both online and offline - it's what we call Combined Media. It's combined direct media where you're touching them with emails, which are online, but also through physical products that you're sending them offline.
You're calling them to thank them for requesting information, making sure they've received everything, seeing if they have any questions. You and your staff, through direct media, personal media, and personal contact are winning their hearts. You're positioning yourself as the expert. You're not hounding them, you're not chasing them, but you're providing information and you're becoming the source of information, the expert, in their mind. That's the position you want. That's personal media and direct media.
Create your book as your personal media. Use your book as part of your direct media. Build a relationship by talking directly to them about their needs. When you follow these steps you'll build a thriving business that will serve many people for years to come.

Position Yourself As the Expert: Focus Your Message
By Michael DeLon
To position yourself as the expert, you must Focus Your Message.
This is where many people fail in marketing. They have a message that's all over the board. Nobody knows who they are or what they do. When you focus your message, you set yourself up to be known for something. Let's go back to our example of Federal Express.
Federal Express is known for overnight delivery. That's where they hung their hat. That is the nail that they have driven into our minds over and over and over again. Federal Express now provides a variety of services including three and four day shipping, but they got here by focusing their message.
Federal Express owns the word "overnight." That's what made them successful. It was a marketing strategy where they focused their message and eliminated everything else. They were not trying to be an international courier, they were not trying to be a four-day delivery service; they were an overnight delivery service of small packages. When you needed your package delivered overnight you thought Federal Express.

Theirs was a focused message and that's really what you need to do in your marketing as well. You need to focus your message. You need to be very clear about your message. You need to be as specific as you possibly can be.
You need to be willing to sacrifice everything else to focus your message on what it is that you do so that you will become known for that. When you're known for something like that you immediately become the expert in that and you will more easily position yourself as the expert. When you can do that consistently you're going to gain many more clients just like Federal Express has done.
Remember, Federal Express did not come into the market and say, "Hey, we're the overnight guys," by running two or three ads. No, they've been hammering that message for decades and we now we know them as the overnight delivery company.
Positioning yourself as an expert is not an overnight proposition. It is a long-term battle. You're going to be investing in marketing long-term regardless. Why not do it the right way? Focus your message, be known for something, be clear, be specific.
You can't be all things to all people. You have to give up to go up. In marketing, less is more. This is what we call the message to market match. You have to understand your market-what we just talked about, which was defining your target market. You have to understand who they are. You have to make sure that your position is right, and then you have to focus your message and you have to pound that message into their mind over and over and over again through a variety of media, through a variety of methods.
Focus your message so that you are known for something.

Creating Brand Strategy and Awareness Using Social Media
By Carla Wynn Hall
Branding in the Virtual Universe
Every business today needs a hot and sticky brand.
Today is different than any time in our history when speaking on the topic of branding a business. In the virtual universe, it is very important to have a professional social presence.
To do business online in this changing landscape, it is going to be required of us to know how to use social media for branding. Branding is the concept behind all you do in business and even in your personal life. It is the element which people remember.
Remember the days of "cold calling"?
Cold-Calling is the process of calling a list of people to get them to say yes to what you are doing. It is a process which may be going away with the dawn of virtual marketing. There are a few things your business can start to do to increase brand awareness.
Read also : Creative Advertising Trends to Watch in 2015
Use referencing material such as hashtags when making social posts. A hashtag is the number sign and the word beside it will be what you would use. Simply do a search for the word and see what you come up with.
Have a complete social media profile. Using one over the other is perfectly fine, but a successful business will be branded everywhere a prospect resides.
Create a mission. Having a business is one of the greatest assets someone can possess, but often the business does not have a mission. What are your core values as a business owner?
Recruit a team. Using some of the group features found on many social networks is a great way to build your tribe. Once loyal, a consumer will return again and again. Within the groups, talk about your brand, products and outreach goals.
Be visible. Don't worry about being seen. Business that aren't seen, aren't in business very long. Use your social media to create a virtual fame factor.
Write a book. Writing a book establishes you as the expert in your chosen field. It is easier than ever to produce, publish and promote your book.
Be a testimonial junkie. Everywhere your business goes, be sure to collect testimonials. Even one sentence praise reports from someone famous can result in your business exploding with interested clients.
Be humble and authentic. In a virtual arena, retaining authenticity is key to attracting high-paying prospects who demand more of the "real deal".
Have a strategy. Having an outlined strategy for virtual branding goes a long way toward peace. Lay out each week what you are going to put out there and who will see it.
Finally, embrace change. Social media is a virtual Goliath in the world of branding. Your new "hot and sticky" brand will go with you through all of the change, but know, there will be changes.
It has been a pleasure to talk to you today about branding on social media. Stay cool and write your book.

Creative Advertising Trends to Watch in 2015
By Rocky C Rhodes
With technology placing creative advertising tools into the hands of even the smallest business owners, the collective knowledge of branding and advertising is growing at a rapid pace. For those looking to get an edge on driving traffic to their business or website, it is vital to stay on the cutting edge of advertising trends. This often requires constant education. To begin your process of staying on the front line of advertising strategies and tactics, here are a few trends to watch out for in 2015.
Cinematic Web Design
In line with the online advertising methods we saw in 2014, you can expect to see a more mature web design, user interface, and greater use of ambient video. This trend emerged last year as a fantastical creative execution that transforms the standard text driven website to a cinematic experience. Creative agencies have been working to find the best way to implement and utilize video better to tell a story. Ambient video adds an element that appeals to the human spirit in a way that still images and text cannot match.

Super Fan Utilization
As social media takes a greater place of importance in strengthening a company's revenue potential, companies will likely utilize their best fans to drive growth. Many companies are already able to place a dollar value to each share or retweet that comes from their audience. If you can leverage those passionate advocates of your business and brand, you can gain greater brand awareness and even tap into a whole new segment of customers.
In order to do this, companies will need to stay relevant by creating interesting, engaging, and shareable content, and giving your customers a chance to speak back and have an input on product decisions.
Storytelling Across Multiple Media
Having an ability to transmit your story across multiple devices seamlessly is now unavoidable. More and more people are now accessing web sites and Internet tools predominantly through mobile devices. Although managing your audience's consumption of messaging in a fragmented manner across multiple channels can be a challenge, but in every challenge lies an opportunity. Creating compelling content that your audience can consume in multiple ways will only grow in importance in the coming year.
Understanding Millenial Markets
Heading into 2015, companies will do well to create brands and products that the Millenial generation will consider valuable. Within this generation, a new subset has emerged known as the New Pragmatics. This subset is a cohort of Millenials that came of age amidst national financial hardship, and tend to see value in products and businesses much differently than products that came before them.
This group will pay a premium for products that are highly unique, customizable, and demonstrate value and social responsibility. On the other hand, this group is also extremely sensitive to high prices and the reputation of the companies they purchase from.

The Importance Of Branding Basics
By Shelly Morrison
Any business, large or small, retail or B2B, one important aspect of it is its branding. In today's competitive market, an effective branding strategy gives the organization a major edge. It is very important to understand the basics of branding thoroughly and how it can affect the business positively.
Simply put, brand is a cluster of functional and emotional attributes, which enables a promise to be made for a new and welcomed experience, while differentiating the products from the competitor's offering.
The product offering has to be according to the target market and their demands. One cannot offer high cost - high quality products, simultaneously with low cost - high value products.
The logo is the identity of the brand. The packaging, promotional materials and website has to integrate logo, in order to communicate.

Brand Equity and Strategy
There is a direct relationship between brand equity and strategy. A unique branding strategy will result in strong equity. Developing a strategy involves four processes: planning, monitoring, analyzing and assessing the whole branding process. The message that the offering product wants to deliver, place of advertisements and distribution channels also come in branding strategy.
The quality and emotional attributes about the brand are perceived as its intrinsic value. These contribute to enhance the equity. To attract customers towards the product, emotional attachment and associations are few of the ways. If the strategic direction is consistent then the equity would define the hold of the brand in the market. Now the company can charge higher prices relative to other homogeneous products.
Defining the Brand
The process of defining is a drive of self-discovery. It is very painful, tough and time consuming. The process begins with designing a clear mission. Next is to conduct an extensive research about the customer's perceptions and demands and designing the offer according to the needs of the customers. To earn a competitive edge the company needs to offer differentiated benefits and features. Finally, gather customer's feedback about its presence.
Brand Communication
Next is to spread the word out in the market after defining the brand. This can be done by designing a great logo and placing it to the highest level of visibility. Next develop a message which defines the attributes of the product. Now create a catchy tagline which defines the essence. Be consistent while designing color scheme, logo placement, look and feel of the brand. All in all, use a holistic approach when integrating the marketing communication plan. Always aim for under-promising and over-delivery because these leads to referrals.

5 Ways Signage Can Boost Your Business
By Jillynn Stevens, Ph.D., MSW
Physical signage like awnings and pole signs are one aspect of traditional marketing and branding that is here to stay. Even if your brick-and-mortar establishment has some serious online advertising happening, that's a complement to your marketing efforts-not a replacement. Even 100 percent online businesses can benefit from physical signage. Think billboards, car wraps and other forms of big impact and/or mobile marketing.
However, you may be surprised at exactly how much of an impact signage actually has! According to Signs.org, the international nonprofit organization dedicated to signage data gathering, support and services, this is a numbers game with the odds stacked clearly in your favor. If you're on the fence about signage, check out these figures:
1. Signage puts newspaper advertising to shame
Advertising in the local newspaper can still be a great way to get your name out there. However, bear in mind that on-site signage is monetarily equivalent to 24 full-page newspaper ads every single year. If you've recently looked into the cost of newspaper advertisements, you know they don't come cheap. A single investment in signage can last for years. Save the newspaper ads for special events and leave the daily advertising to your signs.
Read also : The Importance of Unique Brand Consistency
2. It's chump change for you
How much does a single on-site sign cost you per view? According to Sign.org, it's two pennies per 1,000 views. Of course, this figure might shift a little, depending on your location and the population, but it's a pretty solid number no matter how you look at it. Do you think 1,000 people checking out your sign is worth it? Plus, compare that to the $2.81 per 1,000 views with newspaper ads and it's an easy choice.
3. Locals see your sign up to twice per day
The vast majority of your customers live within five miles of your establishment. This means the average person (not just your customers!) sees your signage between 50 and 60 times per month. That's a lot of free advertising, and a way to nestle into their psyche. They might not need your services right now-but as soon as they need a doggie daycare, wedding cake or yoga class, your name (ahem, sign) will be the first thing they think of.
4. More than a third of people walk right past businesses without signs
Here's a scary statistic: 35 percent of people don't have a clue a business is there if it lacks signage. What would you think of a building with no signs? Likely that it was private property and has nothing to offer you. People aren't going to dig to find information about your business-it's your job to provide it.
5. Bigger store signs equal bigger profits
If you replace your storefront sign with a bigger one, you'll average a 7.7 percent increase in profits. It's true: Size matters. Make sure your sign is a sizable siren.
Signage can help a business succeed or drag it into the ground. Whether you're a startup, small business, franchise or major corporation, make sure people know who you are, where you are and have a general idea of what you do. You don't want to miss out on marketing, impulse buyers or staking a claim in your neighborhood - get that sign up!

The Importance of Unique Brand Consistency
By Susan Friesen
What is a brand anyway?
Many people think it's a logo or website, but it's much more than that. A brand is not only what people see when your business is presented to them, but it's also what they feel.
And it's that feeling that makes or breaks a business. It's the perception of what your audience thinks and feels about you and your business that makes up your brand.
You want your brand to establish your business persona or identity in a way that you will be noticed... and it's those feelings about your brand that will determine how you and your business are remembered and trusted.
Whether it's positive or negative, those feelings associated with the perception of you and your business is what's critical and needs to be given significant attention when starting or building your business.

So if you haven't given a lot of thought into developing a professional brand, now is the time!
There are several ways a brand helps a business grow:
Makes your business memorable and represents something meaningful to the consumer
Creates trust that you can be relied on to meet a consumer's expectations
Builds your credibility and establishes you as an authority in your field
Saves you time and money by getting established quickly and avoiding lost sales
Attracts your ideal clients who are looking for exactly what you have to offer
Provides a solid base to help grow your business with loyal followers
With so many reasons to have a solid brand in place, it's also important to ensure you have brand consistency.
What I mean by that is having your brand always in mind when doing any kind of representation of your business. This not only means how you present yourself in public or on Social Media (as in what you say and write, how you behave or how you look), but also from a visual perspective.
It's the visual brand of your business that will help develop brand recognition with your followers.
So if you want people to remember who you are, brand consistency needs to be always top of mind when creating your website and all of your marketing materials including your social media pages.
The visual component of your brand often consists of the following attributes:
A well designed logo
Specific brand colours
Strategically chosen fonts/typography
Relevant shapes, photos or images
An overall flow, style and feel
You want to take all of these attributes into consideration when designing your business cards, product/service packaging, social media banners, advertisements, flyers, stationery, eSignature and anything else your prospective clients and followers might see.
With your website being the primary marketing piece that you have (remember that it's working for you 24 hours a day, 7 days a week), it not only needs to represent your brand perfectly but also all of your marketing materials must look similar to it.
This means everything you do when representing your business must match your overall brand in order to get maximum results. You don't want to confuse and throw people off when brand consistency is not there. A confused mind will say "no" every time.

Why Native Advertising Spend Is On The Rise
By Emma Flanagan
Native advertising budgets continue to rise. Advances in ad-technology, the growth in mobile advertising and the launch of programmatic native all point to a significant increase in native spend in the future.
Here's why.
Association of National Advertisers (ANA) published a report at the end of 2014, stating that 63% of marketers were planning on increasing their native budgets. New data launched from BI Intelligence indicates that native spend is on the increase and set to reach an estimated �10.7 billion by the end of 2015. Other studies show that by 2018 the native ad space will be worth a staggering �21 billion in the US alone - quite an increase from the modest �4.7 billion spent in 2013.

Mobile native advertising increase

Mobile users surf on average 58 minutes per day on their smartphone and 27% of digital content is consumed via mobile, compared to 22% in early 2014.
In-feed native ad placements perform exceptionally well on the small screen, particularly if you compare them to the performance of display on most mobile devices. Data shows that mobile native outperform traditional mobile display ads - providing a 1% higher CTR.

[http://www.adyoulike.com]Programmatic native advertising works by serving native ad placements across sites on an impression basis, using real-time data and technology so that only the most relevant native advertisement is displayed to a specific user.
It promises to boost user experience, scale content distribution and reduce time management of native campaigns. The advent of programmatic RTB 2.3 means that more and more digital ad spend is going to move in the direction of native campaigns.
Add value to your digital campaign
As a brand, it is important to create a campaign that is valuable - to both the brand and the end consumer.
Native adds value to any campaign and enhances the overall site experience. Recent research conducted by the Interactive Advertising Bureau (IAB) found:
Business - 45%
Entertainment - 44%
General news - 27%
Overall - 38%
The report also found that sponsored content actually increased favourability amongst brands. 55% of users believe it boosts the brand as an authority, 55% argue this makes the brand appear more trustworthy and 56% said the content appears more relevant to the site.

Five Ways Advertising Companies Can Benefit Your Business
By Andrew Stratton
Unlike what many people think, advertising companies are not exclusively used for expensive national and international campaigns. On the contrary, a lot of these campaigns run locally. Even if your business is not a large corporation, there are plenty of reasons to hire an agency to promote your products and services. Here you will learn about these great benefits.
Knowledge And Expertise
Advertising companies have access to experienced researchers, artists, and people working in many forms of media. These people can determine which media is the best option for you, whether it's online, radio, television, or even several at the same time. They can tell you which is the best medium to reach your consumers and how to persuade them to try your products or hire your services.
Read also : Stop Losing Your Marketing PPC Dollars!
Objectivity
An agency can help you see your business from the perspective of the consumer. They can analyze everything from your business slogan to your advertising material, such as brochures and company website. This is an excellent opportunity to correct any message that does not portray your products in a favorable light. It can also renew your own company's image in a way that will attract more people and create more sales.
Saving Time
It takes a while to create the right message to reach your consumers. In addition, you also have to take the time to gather the necessary materials and hire the required services to convey this message to your audience. Implementing a campaign to promote a business is a full-time job! If you are concentrating on running your own company, you don't have time for that. This is exactly why advertising companies exist: to save you time and effort. These agencies have a lot of experience running campaigns.
Money Matters
Hiring an agency to spread the word about your company is not an expense; it's an investment. Every dollar you spend will multiply when you see how people are getting to know your brand and when your sales start increasing. In addition, a lot of agencies get discounts from TV stations, radio stations, publishers, and even printers. This means you'll get a good price for running ads to promote your products. Plus, using an agency's services is cheaper than hiring your own personnel to market your brand.
Boost Your Brand
Besides promoting your products and services, one of the main objectives of the agency will be to create brand awareness. This means they want people to recognize your company's name and associate it with top quality, reliability, and trust. An agency can help you create a brand from scratch by designing logos, slogans, and more. However, it can also work with what you already have and create the right message to develop brand awareness inside the market you want to reach.
Promoting your business the right way will help you achieve your goals as a company. In order to achieve this, hiring an advertising company can be the best move you can make.

Stop Losing Your Marketing PPC Dollars!
By Christina Nikolova
Are you afraid of losing money in general? Are you afraid of losing money when it comes to your marketing budget?
Let's speak more specifically concerning PPC campaigns. I am sure that the most common response to the previous sentence that immediately comes up in your mind is: "Where on Earth does my money go?".
Maybe all of us with small exceptions have heard the phrase of John Wanamaker:
"Half my advertising is wasted, I just don't know which half."
With all the analytics on the market, maybe we are closer to realize exactly which half is wasted and making some progress, but it's still not possible to say with 100% certainty where our money goes.
Read also : What Is Pay Per Click Marketing?
Especially now when time flies fast as never before, to afford not to pay enough attention to the ways how to save the money set for advertising on the Internet is crucial.
In this sense, the fear of losing money, I believe, is a good thing. Just because fear makes us think not only how to handle the issues we are facing, but also to avoid them. Which is more essential than the first option, definitely.
Keeping on thinking in the same direction, can you give an optional answer to the following question:
How can you prevent your marketing PPC budget from being wasted?
I know that many will say it is hard to diagnose a reasonable response without knowing the exact situation it's regarding. Probably, some of you have a well-organized answer and are pretty sure about it.
However, the most appropriate reply is hidden and we are about to reveal it.
As we all know, many ways to make advertising on the Internet exist, but amongst them the primary still remains advertising through PPC campaigns.
Pay-per-click advertising also known as Cost-per-click is an internet advertising model used to bring quality traffic to your website and it gives you the opportunity to see who lands on your website through clicking on a link, banner or search engine result.
One thing should be kept in mind that a successful PPC campaign goes hand by hand with properly suggested and chosen keyword. This keyword is essential for the performance of the PPC campaign you launch on the Internet and is its basis. The keyword determines the interests of the eventual prospects who click on it and better suits these interests! The keyword brings direct traffic to websites and the traffic is already well-targeted. Therefore, leads who come to your website through a PPC campaign ad are curious or interested in searching for more information about your services or products.
Where does the problem start?
The problem starts from where you are losing already dollars from your marketing PPC budget.
It might be because of intentionally made fraud clicks or just because a prospect who wants to check what he is searching for again and again keeps constantly opening your website by clicking on the PPC ad. Having in mind also that people are sometimes deceitful in their willing to be successful and number one in general, software bots are already on the market and can absolutely menace and decrease your PPC budget. What happens in the meanwhile is that your budget is being cut every single time when a click on your PPC ad occurs no matter in what way. No matter if the way it happens is profitable for your online business or not.
However, a solution does exist!
Prevent your PPC budget from being wasted because of fraud clicks:
by finding a way to determine whether a click is a fraud one or not;
by finding who has made it;
by giving him the opportunity to come to your website in a way which saves you money;
by having the option to ban a specific visitor from coming again;
And if all these tasks can be controlled from one place or system in a way you do not have to invest time and do it yourself, it would be just great.
Definitely, preventing and trying to save your marketing advertising budget when it comes to PPC campaigns, is not as simple as we wish to be. However, it is still possible to achieve progress and responsibly take care of the dollars you spend over the internet. No human in the world likes losing money because of any reasons. From the other hand, everyone who starts online business prefers to gain more profit instead the other unwanted alternative.
So, do something about it!

What Is Pay Per Click Marketing?
By Rob Fore
Pay per click marketing is among the many business platforms for advertising products and services. If you are a regular internet user and online shopper, you should have already seen and clicked on these ads yourself. These types of ads can be seen almost everywhere on the internet from search engines to social media sites. You have the option to click or not. Many marketers are into pay per click because it is a lucrative business. The advertisers pay for only every conversion (in this case, a click) made. Meanwhile, publishers get paid for a very simple task of strategically positioning their pay per click ads in their site or content.
What Is Pay Per Click Marketing?
Pay per click marketing is an advertising platform where advertisers pay the publishers of their ads for every click of the ads on their websites. Guests of the websites, forum and social media sites click on the ads and the advertisers and the publishers to get revenues. This type of advertising platform also requires a certain investment.

How Does Pay Per Click Marketing Work?
In pay per click marketing, advertisers bid on keywords in Google or their choice of search engine. These keywords depend on the target audience of the advertisers. They choose the keywords that are relevant to their business and are more likely to be entered into by audiences when they use the search engines for their queries. Choosing the keywords is only part of the work done. They have to outbid the other advertisers to be able to own the right to use the keywords for their pay per click marketing. Every time an internet user enters the keyword in the search box, the pay-per-click advertisement will appear on top or at the side of the search results as part of the sponsored results for easy viewing.
The rate of the keyword depends on the demand of the keyword. If the keyword is very popular, you can expect many competitors to be bidding on the same keyword. The keyword is more likely to be highly rated. If a keyword is less likely to be used, you can bid on the keyword at a very low rate. The equivalent bid will be returned to you for every click made on your ads.
Why Use Pay Per Click Marketing?
Pay per click marketing is one of the many ways to generate traffic into your business website. Your ads, which are posted in the sponsored ads in a very strategic position in pages of popular websites, get exposure to thousands of internet users. They are likely to get noticed and clicked on. Every time an internet user clicks on the ads, that user is redirected to your website that sells your products and services. Your pay per click ads are like referrals. Pay per click marketing, in general, also increases your chances of making sales.

The 5 Pillars of PPC Success
By Nicholas Silver
PPC is a major investment, so you want to get the most out of every valuable dollar you spend. You're paying for every person who clicks on your ads - whether they convert to buyers or not - so there are a lot of different variables that come into play and influence your ROI. Here's a look at the six pillars of PPC success.
1. Planning
It's impossible to implement a pay-per-click campaign without some planning. You have to give at least some thought to your target keywords, bid rates, and daily spend. You have to decide which landing page to direct your traffic to, and you have to write ad copy that attracts attention. You have to choose whether to use ad extensions, and whether they're worth paying for. If you're even thinking about entering into something this involved without planning it all out in advance, you're out of your mind.
Beyond this, however, you should also be setting goals for your campaigns. A positive ROI (return-on-investment) is always a good thing, but you also have to consider your cost per acquisition: How much investment does it require to earn each new customer? When it comes to PPC, you don't just have to plan; you have to plan to plan. That means you have to set up a periodic review and analysis and refine and revamp your campaign to continuously improve results.

2. Competitive Analysis
Competitive analysis is another essential pillar of PPC success. Competition plays heavily into every aspect of pay-per-click, including your cost per click, the viability of bidding on competitive brand names, whether your own brand name is being tapped into by competition, whether your offers are comparable (ideally, better) than your competition, and whether your landing pages far outshine your competitors' or look shoddy in comparison.
For this reason, a deep competitive analysis, and ongoing competitive analysis, should be a staple for PPC advertisers. Because advertisers are constantly changing up their creative and their campaign approach, ongoing monitoring is the only way to stay at the head of the pack.
3. Buyer Personas
Who will be clicking on your ads? If you can't answer this question, you have some serious work to do. You can't create a targeted, effective ad campaign if you can't describe the target customer. What makes your ideal consumer tick? What drives him? What keeps her up at night? What are her interests? The more closely you can define your ideal customer, the more targeted your campaigns.
One important thing to note: It's far too easy for a company to say their ideal customer is "anyone" and that their products and services are useful to "everyone." Create five or 10 distinct buyer personas if you want, but do create buyer personas with a clear, defined personality and profile. But remember that for each buyer persona, you should have a customized campaign.
4. Targeting
Now that you have buyer personas, you can effectively target your PPC campaigns. Again, each target consumer should have a customized campaign. These buyer segments may have distinct keyword groups. Think about the variety of buyers that shop at Hallmark on occasion. A daughter looking for a Father's Day card isn't searching for "anniversary gifts" or "cards for teachers."
Targeting goes far beyond this, however. You need to target your landing pages to relevant search terms, target your ads to relevant keywords, and target your offers to specific groups, as well. You might also target campaigns based on whether your target consumer is a repeat buyer or brand-new visitor. Targeting, like the other pillars of PPC success, is an ongoing process.
5. Analysis
So how do you keep tabs on all these ongoing processes? With analytics, of course. Analytics are like report cards for your digital marketing campaigns. The AdWords dashboard provides robust performance metrics for PPC campaigns, and Google Analytics can be used to define goals and monitor your consumers through multiple marketing channels for deeper insights into where they're being introduced to your company and which touch points are most successful as the final push to convert the visitor.
There are easily thousands of analytics apps and tools, so it's up to you to find those that work best for your company. Heat map analysis, for instance, creates a visualization of the path of the visitor's eyes when viewing a landing page or website. This provides valuable insight into whether your call-to-action buttons are placed prominently enough, whether visitors are paying enough attention to key selling points, and other details that can help you refine your marketing efforts. Once you get the hang of the many analytics options, ongoing analysis isn't a chore - it's an enjoyable habit.

Digital Media Vs Traditional Media - A Comparative Analysis
By Sayed Nasir
It is beyond doubt that social and digital media are significantly impacting consumer behavior. With the growth of the Internet, companies have realized the need to strengthen their online presence and, therefore, are spending ample amount of resources in digital marketing.

No doubt, advertising campaigns through traditional media reach a large chunk of the population. However, the message reaches an even larger number of people through online media. The Internet helps to reach a range of people within a short span of time. While traditional marketing is limited only to a particular geography, online media knows no barrier.

Promoting Business With Promotional Products
Author: Publisher
Leave a Lasting Mark
You have probably heard that, "There is only so much you can promote your business." Well, it's not true. You might have an allotted amount for the promotion for your business, but that doesn't mean it has to stop after a certain time.
Of course, your first priority would be to advertize your business through web, television, print media, or any other type of media. But you have to remember that those come with a limited life. Out of sight, out of mind right?
At that point you want something that has a longer lasting life, keeps the name of your business almost always in sight and therefore always on mind. And at that point you realize you just have to use promotional products.

Why they are the perfect solution?
1. How can you forget something that is always staring you in the face? Items like mugs, pens, drink ware, etc. sit atop a desk for a long time. Items displaying the name or logo of your business will always be at the forethought of your customers. Customers in need of certain services need only look at those items and remember that your business provides those services. And voila! You have more business.
2. Someone else might see it too. Someone who might never have heard of your business before might see those items and find out about you. These items tend to be passed from person to person. This creates even more awareness.
3. Very economical. Should you decide to use such items for your business, you should make a budget for them and stick to it. They hardly ever go over budget. But chances are they will return your investments. And then some.
4. They go on and on. Advertisements stop, fliers fly away, billboards are taken down but these items often survive for a greater time.
5. Makes you International. Okay, it might or might not go that far. But these items are often taken on travels. And then either traded or given away. That means customers from other regions will be made aware of your business as well.
6. They make great gifts. They make great corporate gifts. Well, the high quality ones do. They do the job of promoting you and impressing any potential customer.
7. Makes your employees happy. They are not just meant to be given to your current or potential customers. They can also be easily given to your employees. This accomplishes many things.
Firstly, your employees get free stuff so they are happy. Secondly, your employees, intentionally or unintentionally, promote your business as well.
8. Create and spread goodwill. This might not be for everyone, but think about giving away low cost products at your local community. This will create goodwill for your business, attract new potential clients and leave a very good image of you in the community.

What Makes Your Business Sign Design Connect with Customers
Author: Davis Aiden
When you are planning to install signs for your restaurant, café or retail store, it's essential that you think, take your time and select the right materials, fonts, color scheme and other components carefully. Whether you want to highlight your business name, display your products/services or promote an end of season sale, the look, feel, content and aesthetics of your illuminated display or dimensional lettering matter a lot to grab the attention of passersby and passing vehicles.
Then, what principles of design should you consider to get maximum attention? Here are some of the things you can consider.

Research into Color Theory
It's not always necessary to use black and white; instead do some extensive research on color theory. This is important to understand what message is conveyed through the color used in your business signage. Say for instance, you want to promote an end of season sale, what color should you use? Well, red denotes urgency and it will be an appropriate color to highlight your sale. Again, you can use blue for a medicine store or spa as blue creates a relaxing feeling. So, research on colors properly. Your chosen shade should synchronize with the theme of your business.
Using Bright Colors & Good Contrast
Passersby or passengers in passing vehicles do not get much time to look at your pylons or illuminated displays. That's because they are passing by your store and only have a few seconds to notice what you want to advertise. This means you need to create an impact very quickly. If you look at other stores, you will find that most of them use bright colors to stand out from the rest. Choose shades that will contrast well with the background area. Always use a lighter background against a dark-colored font to create the best impact, and also to add depth and dynamism to your sign.
Think of a Powerful Message
It's not only designs or colors that make your storefront display stand out. The content or what message you are trying to communicate matters even more. When writing the message you want to convey, identify the unique selling proposition (USP) of your brand and products, and make that the focus to connect with your audience quickly. Take the content of your business sign seriously. Take some time to write, edit and revise your brand message so that it is powerful, catchy and memorable.
Keep It Big and to the Point
Your store front display has a lot of space to be used. This doesn't imply that you cram all of it with loads of information, making it look too crowded with text. Include only information that matters. Use big fonts, keeping your message concise and to the point. You need to grab the attention of passersby from a distance and attract them to your store entrance to learn more about your products/services. Therefore, when picking out fonts, avoid using highly curly or script fonts. Fonts that are too curvy may look beautiful, but extremely difficult to read from a distance.
Use the Right Materials
The kind of materials that you choose for your storefront display has a significant impact on its effectiveness. For any temporary business, you can use window decals and these will be displayed for a temporary period, like to promote a sale or an event. Again, if you are looking for long-term branding, it's prudent to use metal letters/dimensional letters in front of your retail store. So, choice of materials is extremely important and if you choose the wrong ones, your business may not even be noticed by passersby or your potential customers.
You can consider the above mentioned aspects when looking for business sign design. Or do you share some more innovative ideas?

How to Get Your Brand Noticed
Author: ryansmith
Once in a while, every company needs to conduct a brand exercise to refresh their brand. There are two reasons for it, one internal and one external.

Good PPC Plans Are a Prerequisite to Getting Good ROI
By Mike MA Anderson
With increasing competition in digital marketing, the race to get a good search engine ranking is now red hot. Websites may not be able to maintain good search engine ranking in-spite of scrupulously adhering to all the facets of search engine optimization. Moreover, search engine optimization demands continuous monitoring and tweaking of optimization parameters. In this respect PPC can be a game changer for you.
What is it
When you go for PPC, the web crawler will show advertisement about your products or services in its search page. When users search for products or services in Google they come across advertisements marked in yellow. The advertisements are placed away from the search results, on the side pane, above or below the search results. If the user's query matches your portfolio of products or services then your PPC ad will come up in these areas marked in yellow. If the user clicks on the advertisement you have to pay a fee to the web spider such as Google.

Benefits of PPC
Prominent ads
Away from the clumsy search results your ad will gain a prominent place among fewer ads and the yellow label. This evokes the interest of users. Moreover, being few in number, people are more inclined to click on them rather than on the search engine results.
More visitors
The curiosity of the visitors coupled with prominence translates to visits. As the user clicks on your PPC ad he or she lands directly on the landing page of your website. The same user may be directed to an affiliate website if he or she clicks on a search engine result. This makes it a more effective plan in comparison to plain vanilla SEO.
Targeted traffic
Effective PPC plans drive targeted traffic to the website. The user is directed to the landing page of the website directly from the search engine page. He or she will get the hang of your product or service by going through the website. If they like it they will make a purchase, or decide to make a purchase in future.
A good PPC plan
A good PPC plan is a prerequisite for reaping the dividends of pay per click. The plan must incorporate stuff like keyword research, keyword selection, list of negative keywords, long tail keywords, analysis of competition, identification of landing page, Geo analytic, conversion tracking etc. The PPC plan from Google AdWords should be such that your ad comes up in various places such as dynamic search ads, competitor campaigns, Google search partners, mobile etc. The plan must also incorporate price for playing PPC ads placed in Bing.
The cost
The benefits of a good PPC plans always surpasses its cost. You just need a good PPC plan to reap the dividend.

Importance/Benefits Of Search Engine Optimization
Author: Bright Infotechnology
At one point in time SEO was something you could bolt onto a website to make an average or below average website rank as though it was best in class. In some cases that can still be done, but it is getting harder (and less profitable) each day. As the web gets more competitive, effective SEO techniques will be viewed as a subset of marketing. With that in mind, we decided to create a full featured featured forward looking SEO training program covering: Keyword selection, domain names, On Page Optimization, copywriting, blogging, site architecture, usability, analytics, PPC advertising, public relations, viral marketing, and link building.
Many of concepts that relate to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) but are not core to SEO are covered in other modules. Modules in the SEO training section include:
Why search is so powerful: - Search Engine take advantage of reverse broadcast networks to help save time and money. They are instant answer systems that provide ultra- targeted advertising. While normal advertising interrupts people, search allows you to sell what your customers want it. Search is not intrusive, and does not look or feel like any other form of advertising.

Every website and every idea start off incomplete and needs refined. The more you learn about the web, the more you will learn how ideas overlap.

At one point in time SEO was something you could bolt onto a website to make an average or below average website rank as though it was best in class. In some cases that can still be done, but it is getting harder (and less profitable) each day. As the web gets more competitive, effective SEO techniques will be viewed as a subset of marketing. With that in mind, we decided to create a full featured featured forward looking SEO training program covering: Keyword selection, domain names, On Page Optimization, copywriting, blogging, site architecture, usability, analytics, PPC advertising, public relations, viral marketing, and link building.
Many of concepts that relate to Search Engine Optimization (SEO) but are not core to SEO are covered in other modules. Modules in the SEO training section include:
Why search is so powerful: - Search Engine take advantage of reverse broadcast networks to help save time and money. They are instant answer systems that provide ultra- targeted advertising. While normal advertising interrupts people, search allows you to sell what your customers want it. Search is not intrusive, and does not look or feel like any other form of advertising.

Good usability is usually good search engine optimization. Some People stress mechanical search engine optimization so much that they forget about their visitors needs.

Do you know WHEN you need a Re-Brand?
Author: Chaten
Corporate branding may involve millions of pounds with group decisions made by groups upon groups of people going up and down a corporate ladder to produce a strategic answer to a relatively simple question.
On the flip-side of a corporate business is me. I'm a small business with a small business brand. Some may even argue that my business is not a true brand because of the size or popularity of my business which happens to be small. I don't have groups upon groups of people or a corporate hierarchy to ask the questions above or to answer them so how do I know if it's time for a re-brand as a small business?
There's one simple question you need to ask yourself in order to find out and you don't need groups of people or anyone else to answer it. You can answer this yourself.

Your business has changed over a number of years or maybe even over a number of months in which case the length of time since your last branding exercise doesn't matter. What matters is the amount of change that's taken place within that given time.
Don't look at how long it's been since you re-branded, look at how much you've changed since the last re-brand because change is the primary driver for a re-brand not time.
If you can look at your branding and see that it has remained the same whilst your business changed, then your branding has gone stale and maybe its time for a re-brand.
After answering question 1 you may feel that there's not been enough change within your business to qualify a re-brand for your business but that doesn't mean that it's not time for a change. A re-brand could actually be the driving force to create change within your business.
