When starting a company, one of the main facets that must be addressed is marketing. No business will survive without a marketing plan and strategy. In the past, businesses have always used traditional forms of marketing such as print, television and radio. With new technology, the marketing industry is shifting and new forms of marketing are coming into use.

People use the internet every single day to check news, investigate places they want to go, and to communicate. The internet is the main tool of communication in today’s day and age. To have a successful marketing plan, the internet must be utilized.

Search engines, like Google, are the most commonly used websites, they allow people to browse and find exactly what they are looking for. Search engine optimization is very important for a business for a multitude of reasons, people want to find what they are looking for and companies want people to frequent their website. If a company’s website is not ranking high on the search engines then it will not get as much traffic. More traffic equals more business. There are companies now such as, Elixir Interactive that will work to boost your search rankings and optimize your website to attract traffic.

Social media is also critical to a marketing strategy. People are busier than ever and even though they want all their information, they do not want to search all over the web for it, they want it in one place. Social media sites such as Facebook, Linked In, and Twitter offer a place for people to communicate with friends but also to keep updated on businesses.

As technology is ever changing, so is the marketing industry. New forms of communication open up new forms of marketing and new ways to reach customers.

CompiledMonkey (a daily look at all things geek) has an article about the growth of online branding. It has a good insight into the mind of a twentysomething and the way in which they look at brands.

Of course traditional companies have caught on and are making their mark online with their existing brands. As a 20 something, I’m not as interested in what those companies have done online as they don’t speak to me as well as a Digg, Facebook, or YouTube.

Online Branding Differs From Traditional Methods

james — Tue, 17 Jul 2007 23:04:17 +0000

There is a nice article entitled ‘What is Online Branding?’ It explores the differences between traditional branding and online branding.

In traditional media, there is still some separation of brand advertising and the brand experience; you can’t buy from television commercials…yet. Online, there is rarely such a separation but most companies still haven’t realized this. Consumers now choose whether or not they want to respond to or even see advertising in many cases. Get relevant or get out is the message.

It explores the fact that many marketers do not get the concept that online branding requires total integration, that no part is antonymous and that it should be relevant to the consumer.

Certain industries use online branding to influence offline sales with great success. There is some new interesting research out that shows that consumers of electronics who use online search before going to a store, end up spending ten percent more that those who do not search. I know from my experience that this is the case. By doing some research you carefully consider what you need and what will work best for you even if the features you determine you cannot live without means a higher price.

According to new research from Yahoo! and ChannelForce, consumers who search online for televisions and digital cameras spend ten percent more when making their purchase in-store than those who did not use a search engine. The survey also found that a vast majority research products online prior to making in-store purchases, and that online research is helping consumers make key purchasing decisions before they enter a store.

A little article here about using Pay per Click (PPC) advertising to develop you online brand.

“Online branding through PPC advertising will depend on both the frequency the ad appears on the Search Engine Result Pages and the number of times your target market has been exposed to an ad. The idea behind PPC branding is that your potential clients, even when they don’t click on an ad, will be able to see your ad again and again achieving top-of-mind positioning.”
