Difference between brand marketing and lead generation marketing.

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. It has also got to do with how consumers are increasingly becoming brand conscious to the extent that many people identify themselves with the brands they use.

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.

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. Much like a regular planner that provides insight into your upcoming activities, content planners give your marketing team a much-needed blueprint to work with. There are many reasons why content planners as a tool are highly useful for your brand’s image to stay relevant.

Let’s say you have a startup or a small business with a brilliant product or service.  Effectively marketing the product/service is the only way one can go about ensuring a loyal base of customers. At this point, it is imperative to have a budget for marketing, in other words, an amount of money that is earmarked for marketing.
