Why Marketing Analytics is the ONLY Way to Understand What's Working and What Should Be Done When it's Not

Imagine giving your SATs and never receiving your results. Wouldn't that drive you crazy? Any endeavor that is undertaken by an individual or an organization needs to have an end goal. It's how we measure our successes and areas of improvement. When it comes to your business, your end goals could be varied in every quarter - they could be achieving sales targets, signing on new clients, increasing visibility, building an image and so on. With specific goals, come specific actionable insights based on analytics, or simply put, numbers. Just like your SAT scores are the only way to deem your scope of getting into great schools, your marketing analytics is the single 'scorecard' that consider how your marketing strategies and techniques are doing out there in the market.

Niche Marketing Do’s and Don’ts

Making products/services that already have patrons in the market and enough competitors that pose a threat to your business? Marketing your product/service in a unique, one-off way could be one of the winning factors of your campaign.

In a world where consumerism is increasingly driving everything and businesses struggle hard to ensure their product gets sold over their competitors’ products, branding is one of the most important factors to consider when it comes to marketing.

Understanding the short-term and long-term goals of a new Marketing Client.

Development of a good clientele is highly essential for the growth of any business. Having a marketing professional’s expertise at the disposal of a new client is vital as it is a cynosure in nurturing and constructing long-term associations between the customer and the marketer. As a marketing professional, it is essential to cater to the needs and satisfy the client’s requirements to build a relationship and do business with them.  To create a good rapport and trust with the right set of clientele, the professional marketing needs to inherently understand the client’s brand to make it more visible and feasible for their product to reach a broader range of customers.

Why a Guarantee is in your client’s best interest?

Ever bought a phone or an electronic device without warranty and smacked yourself because the cost it took to repair the equipment, when it broke down, went into thousands of dollars? We often see this happen when more important purchases like expensive gadgets, daily utility items like kitchen tools, handiwork tools, and even cars break down. While it is unthinkable to make expensive purchases like a car or that swanky iPhone without insurance, most often it is the "guarantee" factor that attracts customers while making a purchasing decision, no matter what the price or variety is, of the product/service you sell. In this post, we explore more into why offering a guarantee on your products/services does a ton of good for you and more importantly, your customers.

What is Promotional Marketing and What makes it important?

BOGO, or up to 50% off on select merchandise - we love a deal that says this and often throngs to a website or a store to browse through the products/services under promotional offers from time to time. While it's an excellent opportunity for buyers to stock up on outcomes during a promotional sale, it's equally fetching for companies. In this post, we delve into the concepts that circle around promotional marketing, why giving your customers a good deal ends up being profitable for you, and the right ways to do it - through tried and tested methods from successful brands.

A week before Christmas last year, a famous illustrator based in New York was bombarded with calls from various clients asking for commissioned work to be done, themed around the holidays. While the illustrator was busy with previously assigned work, most of these potential clients were declined. This is a classic example of planning gone wrong from the client’s side. The glitch could have easily been avoided with some foresight and essential content planning. A useful marketing tool that helps you do just that is a content planner.
