Branding Trends: Delivery Channels Take Forefront
| |
| In looking at current branding trends, and what might be around the corner in 2007, what strikes me most are not the tactics being used, but the mediums being called on to disseminate the messages. Marketers can no longer rely on traditional outlets such as TV, radio and print ads to “get the job done”; they must take into consideration all the new media at their disposal, including blogs, podcasting, mobile phone-based programming, social networks, and RSS feeds. |

Integrated Marketing

| Whatever does guerrilla marketing have in common with a boomerang? If you throw a stick, it flies about 30 feet. Frank Donnellan once threw a boomerang 377 feet, longer than football field. A boomerang uses gravity and air resistance to aid its flight. Guerrilla marketing uses other weapons to aid its flight. Single-weapon marketing has nothing to aid its flight. |

Saying What You Mean To Connect With Prospects! Why What You Say is Just as Important as How You Say it.
| |
| Do you REALLY think about what you are saying and how you are saying it, particularly in your promotinal copy?
Word choice is a vital component of the copy for your marketing, advertising and promotional materials. In fact, your copy can make or break your sales efforts. I always say copy counts and actually your sales count on your copy.
The best illustration of how important copy really is was shared by my good friend and mentor Lorrie Morgan-Ferrero. She explains that copy is the DNA of all marketing materials. I have to agree.
Imagine stripping all of your marketing materials of words. How well would your website, brochure, print ads, sales letters, press releases or broadcast scripts work without words?

THE THREE RS OF SERVICE BRANDING: REACH, RECOGNITION, AND REPUTATION
| |
| By Robert Croston
Think about your most recent branding campaign. Were your television ads as successful as you'd like them to be? Perhaps the billboards didn't create the recognition that you were looking for, but your online ads on Yahoo! and AOL worked quite well. Did you pick the right professional athlete to represent your firm's services?
If you're reading this far, and you work at most service businesses, you probably think I'm nuts. You don't do any of this.
Well, maybe you're a big firm and you do (kudos to you), or you've tried something here and there. But in most of our service business realities, advertising-as-a-primary-branding-vehicle is not the norm. And it shouldn't be.

Make Your Business Card Work for You
| |
| I expect that many business owners don't even think about it. They get used to handing out their business cards left and right, so that people are able to get in touch with them. They are doing what they are taught and told to do; making contact, keeping their name in front of people. But, have you REALLY looked at your business card? What does it really tell people? Will they have to trigger their memory to figure out what it is that you do?
When given the opportunity to be placing your business card in someone's hands, or in an advertisement, make sure you are making the most of that opportunity. |

Convergence Technology Theory in 99, Reality in 06
| |
| It was the summer of 1999, and I remember first hearing the then popular buzz expression convergence technology. What it meant was that the Internet was fast coming of age, that web, TV, radio and print content would all converge into one mass body of communication. The distinctive lines of one format from the other would begin to blur, and all outbound communications, whether in print, online, via radio, TV, outdoor, in-store and the like, would all interrelate and point to one another in some meaningful way. |

As 2005 approaches it is well worth benchmarking your business plans and formulating your strategy for what may be needed to survive the next 5 years. DC Strategys Rod Young looks at ways to blue print your system in increasingly uncertain times.
The first 5 years of the 21st Century are about as good as it gets for the broader business community and franchising in particular.

Attention and Distraction
| |
| The idea of whether the Internet is making us more intelligent or less intelligent, more vulnerable to distraction or more capable of skillful multi-tasking, seems to have obsessed the majority of print and online media journalists lately. No doubt these journalists are concerned with the fate of their jobs, as print media dwindles and people become increasingly less likely to pay for reporting that often costs thousands of dollars to accomplish. Out of this so-called crisis of attention has emerged a new genre of writing, a kind of meta-reporting in which journalists, distracted by the swarm of new media overtaking print, are focusing their attention on new neurological research and technological advancements to try and figure out where the future of their own profession, and indeed the entire globalized world, is headed. |

Internet Advertising - Keeping Cost Down
| |
| In the past 5 years, we have seen a dramatic shift in the American media from print to online programming. With print ad sales shrinking dramatically in the last decade, the internet has seen a surge of new marketing money from all sectors of the economy. For example, in 1996, real estate agents, brokers and developers spent $755 on newspaper advertising for every home sold. This year, they are spending $605 per home. For the same period, online ad spending per home went from $14 to $148. |

Advantages and Disadvantages of Self Publishing
| |
| Gone are the days when you needed either a book deal or a large sum of money to publish a book. Self-publishing is no longer seen as just "vanity publishing"; it's a legitimate professional way to get your ideas into print. And now, with the Kindle and iPad making e-books mainstream, you don't even need it in print! But that doesn't mean it's all plain sailing. Traditional publishing does have some advantages, so if you do decide to take the self-publishing route, make sure you get those benefits in other ways. |
