market.jpgIn today’s smart marketing blog, I will discuss some ideas concerning marketing issues. We try to bring you the most relevant information, news and ideas and we hope that you find this information useful to your purposes. At the smart marketing blog, we seek to help all those in the marketing industry, whether they are professional marketers or simply people who own their own home based business. Today we will look into the issue of affiliate marketing and see if this is something for you.

 

What kind of marketing do you do? Have you ever considered affiliate marketing? Of course, affiliate marketing is marketing that you do for another company. You market another company’s product or service, and you get a percentage of the sales. Now this might not be a situation where you could stick with one client, and you may need to sell for several clients just to make a decent income, but if you have the necessary web design skills and have the patience to do it, then affiliate marketing just might be for you. The benefit is that you do not have to come up with a product or service of your own because it is already provided for you.

Google has decided to allow marketers to distribute their ads across the AdSense network, and has opened the door to a new type of marketing. This, however, will not be available to just anyone who posts to YouTube, but is designed for legitimate distributors. In fact, Google has already signed deals with TV Guide Broadband, Ford Models, and Expert Village to name a few. Considering the popularity of YouTube, this may be the next big gateway for advertisers to reach their customer base. The cost for these ads is uncertain at this time, but it will be interesting to see if it is competitive with TV, radio, and print advertising.

Smart Marketing: Permission Marketing.

mobile.jpgIn today’s smart marketing blog, I will discuss some ideas that will help you with your marketing needs. This piece is written for all marketers, large and small, and its aim is to provide valuable information and ideas that will help you reach the consumer. Be sure to come back to the smart marketing blog often for more information, news, updates and ideas. We hope that you will find success in all of your marketing endeavors.

 

There is something new on the marketing horizon that may be on the verge of becoming very big, especially for those who get in on the ground floor. It is called permission marketing, and it is aimed at consumers with mobile devices. The idea is that marketers, with the permission of the consumer, can market directly to their mobile device through calls and text. This way, the consumer could get the information they desire, such as updates and advertisements about films and music. The consumer would get certain benefits, like free downloads and even calls, while the mobile company makes revenue through advertisement fees. This should benefit all those concerned, but is especially nice for the consumer who can choose what information and services he or she would like.

Smart Marketing: Mozes the new MySpace.

marketing.jpgIn today’s smart marketing blog, I will discuss some of the newest innovations in marketing. The smart marketing blog is a piece that hopes to help business owners and professionals with their marketing needs. If you would like more information, come back often to this blog for more information and ideas.

 

Let’s face it. MySpace is huge, and a very successful company that was started on a risky idea. Users can use MySpace for free, but advertisers pay big money to advertise on the space. Well, a company called Mozes is taking this to the next level by going mobile. Mozes is a company that will allow any user to sign up, but it is targeting the music industry in specific. Mozes uses the same ideas as MySpace, but is also offering updates on customer’s favorite bands. For example, bands will now be able to notify their fans of new music releases and concert ticket availability. This new twist on the mobile marketing device appears to be picking up pretty quickly. The service was used at several concerts already and it is estimated that about one half of all those in attendance used the service.

Smart Marketing: Podcasting Part 2

podcast1.jpgIn today’s smart marketing blog, I will continue the two part series on podcast marketing. The series is written to give web based businesses marketing ideas to get their companies off the ground.

In the first part of this blog, I talked about how search engines really changed the face of he internet and forced web business owners to become technologically savvy in order to remain in competition. Much of this is based on search engine optimization. Well now there is another way to attack this problem. Podcasting is basically an audio file that is posted directly to your website. You can use this so your viewers can listen to you talk about your products and services without having to sift through countless pages of content. The added benefit is that podcasting, if done correctly, can also help greatly improve your rankings in the search engines. The results are quite stunning and there are specific steps that you need to take in order to achieve the desired results. You should consider podcasting for your web business. Try finding a company that specializes in this for help. For more information on smart marketing, check back at this blog periodically.

Smart Marketing: MySpace

myspace.jpgIn today’s smart marketing blog, I will discuss some good marketing strategies that you may want to consider for your business. The smart marketing blog is dedicated to the business owner, or for those who work in the marketing sector. Come back to this blog often to look for more updates on marketing tips and advice.

Recently I learned that MySpace and MTV have teamed up to address the upcoming presidential elections. They have decided to run a debate between the candidates where MySpace users will be able to ask candidates direct questions concerning their policies. MTV will then broadcast the debates. The target audience here are the college campuses. MTV runs college campus version of its program to many universities across the country, and MySpace has the large numbers of users to make this work. This got me thinking, and I wondered why I did not see more businesses set up a profile and network on MySpace. This is going to be the mode by which many people will communicate, so why not start developing those business relationships now? It certainly cannot hurt to load a profile and to do so is free to the user! What better advertising than word of mouth?

Smart Marketing: Data Mining.

data-mining2.jpgIn today’s smart marketing blog, I will continue an earlier discussion on data mining. The smart marketing blog is a blog dedicated to marketing professionals regardless if they run their own business or if they work for a corporation. We offer tips and advice on a host of marketing issues that you might be interested in. For more information, come back to the smart marketing blog periodically.

In an earlier blog published in the later part of August, I discussed data mining and some of its potential. The Department of Homeland Security had recently announced a project with Kansas State University that is designed to streamline data mining methods. Additionally, there are companies out there who specialize in data mining. These companies figure out what their client’s target audience is, and then come up with strategies and software that is specifically tailored to meet the needs of their client. This is something that you might want to consider unless you already have a specialist who is familiar with the specifics of data mining. Either way, data mining just makes sense to include in any marketing strategy. It can help you save both time and money by finding the clients that will fit your product.
