Why Marketing Needs Objectives… Not Just Goals

Many companies have essentially the same overarching goals: increase sales, decrease operating costs, and reduce churn. All of those goals result in growing a company’s net revenue and profitability. 

Seems pretty simple, but the way those business goals translate into objectives, specifically with marketing, is the secret sauce that ultimately determines whether an organization stands a reasonable chance of achieving success or whether it will blow another budget on a creative refresh that fails to better communicate or motivate the consumer to convert.

Ten great ways to optimize your internet presence

Remember: all search is local

By John Faris

Former U.S. Congressman Tip O’Neill famously coined the phrase “All politics is local.” In much the same way, retail and service companies are quickly coming to realize that all marketing is local. With the recent rise - and soon to be explosion – in GPS/mapping-enabled smart phones and drastic changes in the way Google searches trigger local results, local search is rapidly becoming a critical marketing channel.

The concept is more evolutionary than revolutionary; most marketers are savvy enough to already claim their listings in Google Places. However, that’s only the first step in a comprehensive strategy, since the majority of location-specific searches don’t take place on Google. Many consumers use other outlets such as online yellow pages, local directories and city guides like CitySearch or Yelp as well as search engines, including Yahoo and Bing, to conduct their searches for local businesses. Even if Google were to start dominating local search like they dominate general search queries, their results are heavily influenced by these other local sources.

So before missing the boat entirely, here are 10 things marketers can do today to optimize their Internet presence for local search queries.

Social Media Put To Work

To manage its social media efforts, Charlotte Russe used Red Door Interactive, a San Diego marketing firm. According to Red Door social media strategist Crosby Noricks, the Charlotte Russe content is a collaborative effort with the retailer’s public relations department. Noricks said she focuses on the conversation by inviting customers’ opinions.

“Instead of just doing the post and leaving it, we’ll turn the conversation back,” Noricks said.

Why Restaurants Should Get on Board with Social Media

Not only do these tech-based avenues offer a forum for one-on-one conversations between brands and consumers, but also they give customers the chance to choose how they want to receive information from the company, says Crosby Noricks, a social-media strategist with Red Door Interactive in San Diego.

The Internet-presence-management firm’s clients include locally based buffet chain Sweet Tomatoes/Souplantation.

Social-media marketing pushes aside usual methods

Denver Business Journal – by Greg Avery

Offering coupons through Twitter.com – a messaging-relay service on the web – and creating company pages on social networking sites complement more traditional marketing by deepening a company’s involvement with regular customers. That’s according to Reid Carr, president of Red Door interactive.
