Advertising is a Myth
December 14, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
I was just on holiday in France. Fantastic time, very relaxing and it led me to miss some deadlines. Shame on me, however I think that it is positive that I can still lose myself and let things go. One of very interesting experiences during my trip was staying in a village with no advertising at all (and no internet connection). At first, I didn’t noticed this, after a while I was wondering what’s wrong here. There was something missing in the landscape. And finally I realized – there was no advertising around me! I wandered through streets searching for some commercial message. There was none! I was pretty impressed by it and it made to think about the impact advertising has on people and its role in our culture.

Advertising is only one part of the marketing pie, do not think that because you are spending hugely on advertisement, you can seatback and wait for the buyers to come in.

Blogging Your Travels Can Make You Famous
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
As a medium of communication, blogging has taken the world by storm. The question on the lips of most media savvy communities is whether our traditional media will survive the onslaught. Will blogs eventually kill conventional websites and newspapers? As a social Media Marketing tool, blogging provides endless opportunities at the least cost.
Suffice to say blogs are cool; they are a techie thing. You have to be in it. They are vogue. Blogs are, quite simply, the next wave. So if you are thinking about setting up a site, find out if a blog is the alternative that you have overlooked. So are conventional websites no longer necessary? Maybe.
Blogs are cheap, easy, efficient, wildly easy to find on the Net, super marketing-friendly, and just plain fun. Today with so many scripts, you can download install and create several pages of complete web sites within a couple of hours. Unlike traditional web pages, they are a walk in the park. Easy. Of course if our Sunday papers cease, there will be a gaping hole; at least psychologically.
In reality the picture is different. News prints are for people who read and consume information. These same people, in an ideal situation, will be web savvy already. So if they can read the paper online, why would you print the paper for them? Most people don’t read the newspaper in the morning. Actually for those who stay late, they read the paper around 11 before they go to bed. Workers no longer read papers over lunch break like they did in the 1990s, they read news bites at their desk while working.
So if newsprint is good for advertisers, online advertising is even cheaper and prettier. The only way newsprint can survive is by sabotaging the spread of broadband Internet connection. This way they will have a pocket of readers who have no access to cheap Internet round the clock-at work and at home. The only place that fits that description is the developing world.
Ironically, the majority who read papers are concentrated in urban places. Here Internet is available albeit expensive in comparative terms. More bad news. Even in poor Sub-Saharan Africa, there are advance plans to link the continent using the coveted under-sea fiber optic cables.
Business Blogs
Blogs have been embraced by businesses as a new and very powerful marketing tool that has allowed them to communicate with their customers. It has helped bridge the feed back gap that has existed between clients and the service providers. It is a kind of dialogue with them; a close yet distant rapport.
Customers feel like they are being heard while businesses feel like they are showing that they indeed value their clients’ opinions and concerns. Today all major companies and individual companies have blogs and forums for the clients to vent their anger and to give them accolades for rolling out new products.
Personal Blogs
Blogs start, essentially as personal diaries or scrapbook, which can be great fun to both read and write. A personal blog is generally set up to allow the author to discuss their views on anything and everything, so the topics change with each post according to mood, skills, interests, age et cetera. Bloggers are not your average eccentrics with bohemian urges to be different. Some have genuine reasons to whine about their niggling thoughts anonymously, or otherwise, without being edited. Only personal censorship and reason is the limit. Blogs give people a license to whine about how life is unfair and how you think outside the box.
There are now tools which are freely available to allow anyone to set up a personal blog quickly and simply – while these are not advised for a Business Blog simply because they offer less control over a tool which will become key to your business. There is wordpress, blogger from Google and other smaller but powerful software that you can download and get going.
Remember no technical knowledge is required to blog, readers can leave comments as well as read other people’s comments. Blog scripts come with the ability to automatically organise information into categories and archive what you don’t need. Blogs are the best Search Engine magnets if you are concerned about pulling traffic to your web site for sales purposes. Blogs are content rich because of Multiple Authorships.Blogging can make you famous and can earn you money.
It is important to note that blogs have the enviable Internal and External Links which through the viral effect-interlink related information. Lastly, blogs have permalinks another great feature for the Search Engines.

Social Media And The Pop Culture
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
Why would a popular musician or singing group put a social media page together? After all, aren’t they busy enough without adding the interaction that seems to be required of a social media site?
In most cases these artists do not develop these pages as a result of having too much time on their hands. In fact, most of these artists do not have a significant amount of free time to devote to a social media site.
That being said the social media site becomes an incredible means of immediate connection with fans. The social media page contains audio streaming of popular songs, video streaming of current music videos, photo galleries and of course an online blog.
These tools provide a sense of immediate connection between fans and artist. Since the page development of social media sites is all online the artists can update their page from anywhere they can gain an Internet connection (often wi-fi hot zones).
Obviously there are those who have some help in getting everything online and keeping things updated, but the point is a majority of artists have gained a clear understanding that an online community provides an incredible mechanism for marketing to already motivated fans.
Links to a primary site can often result in additional product purchases. Even if the individuals have the most current audio products they may use a social media site as the first step in locating and purchasing items such as t-shirts, hats, sweat bands, posters, magnets and many other branded items from the artist.
A social media site allows these artists to let fans know of significant achievements, news or offer information on the pre-release sale of new audio projects.
Fans take the time to post replies, ask questions and send site-controlled messages to the artist.
In so many ways the world of social media has allowed the famous to be viewed as approachable and friendly. The mystery of the artist is less mysterious and concerts can be viewed by many concertgoers as something a bit like a gathering with friends.
In an odd way the use of social media levels the playing field of the famous and yet-to-be famous. This environment is an odd mixture of reality TV, entertainment report and fan site.
The success of pop culture as a historical phenomenon makes this up close and personal approach to artists and film stars something that is meaningful to fans.
Beyond the unusually profound cultural dynamics of social media, artists and actors understand that this genre provides marketing potential to a highly motivated group of individuals.
Marketing has always been about putting a product in front of people on a regular basis. Social media allows the famous to keep their projects (past, present and future) in front of fans.
The use of social media can render fan sites obsolete because the fans have access to the famous. In turn they also have access to each other.
The example of the famous using social media can provide a reason for individuals to provide a point of connection for their own group of family and friends in a one-stop shop of information and feedback.

Car Blogs as Means of News Dissemination
November 19, 2009 by IBI · Leave a Comment
The very active society we now live in demands of us to be informed at all times. We will find it in our best interest to be aware of the latest news in all fields, but especially in those which influence our life directly. Significant new information becomes relevant when it influences a lot of people. Staying informed may also be part of pursuing a hobby, or fulfilling an important part of your life. The variety of sources which report news includes newspapers, television programs or radio programs, websites and so on. The websites are becoming a more and more accessible source for news, as they do not impose a certain schedule, like the morning paper or the evening news do. A PC and an Internet connection it’s all it takes to stay informed. Websites offer information on an endless number of topics. Some types of websites, such as blogs, offer the possibility to share opinions with other users or participate in discussions. Car blogs are popular among many people, not just those passionate about cars. For those who make a daily habit out of finding out the latest automotive news, a car blog affiliation is a must. But a car blog is not meant to satisfy the needs of those wild on cars alone. Ordinary people seeking any type of information, suggestion or advice for their car can find a satisfactory answer on a car blog.
Car blogs often make comments on the automotive news already announced through other mainstream media. But the cases when a car blog brings new information to public light are more and more frequent. Automotive news dissemination through car blogs is important especially when those targeted are car enthusiasts. But those not so passionate about car could be interested in the automotive news presented on a car blog, as it may also include information of general public interest.
The automotive news that a user can find on a car blog includes news about the latest car models, alternative fuels, environmentally friendly cars and hybrids, tires, convertibles, used cars, auto shows, car loans, alarm systems for cars, car accessories, and the list could go on forever.
The type of information the reader is looking for, whether it’s the latest automotive news or just useful information on cars, depends on the type of the car blog. While some car blogs are technology-oriented, others are brand oriented. On the other hand, a car blog may focus on custom cars alone, or be concerned with specifics such as 4×4. But the overall idea is that most bloggers check out the latest automotive news on a car blog because this is where the information on cars reaches its highest level. An ordinary conversation on cars will by no means prove satisfactory to a car enthusiast as many people know too little about automobiles. Therefore, they turn to a car blog where automotive news are accurate and updated. While mainstream media may be under censorship to some extent, blogs will always send the messages directly to the large public, presenting the readers with credible news.
