Fast Food Service Provider Marketing
Over the years as we’ve grown and worked with clients to build a digital presence, one of the things we’ve heard is how our team provided insight into marketing data, not just the data itself. I use the word “insight” for a reason. Data from marketing channels, for many, is like eating out. Small bites of info may be better for some while others need a full course meal. In the spirit of combining two things I appreciate, food and data-driven marketing, I’ve started leading our team to an approach of providing sit-down service during our discussions with certain clients versus providing a fast food service approach. Got your appetite ready? Let’s go. …
Olympic Success: A Marketing Team’s Version of Reaching the Podium
It’s been an amazing couple of weeks, watching athletes from around the globe compete at the Olympic Games in Rio. One day, we’ll be able to tell our grandkids we were there to watch (on a tape-delayed basis, of course) such record-breaking feats of athleticism as a kayak capsizing after hitting a sofa in the water, and Ryan Lochte and three other athletes dodging the Zika virus but not being able to avoid being robbed at gunpoint. Oh, and we heard that Michael Phelps won a few more gold medals for swimming.
The team of world-class digital marketing professionals here at On Advertising have a few thoughts about the Games, and how they relate to the services we deliver to our clients. …

When It’s Time To Upgrade Your Content Ownership From A Part-Timer Or Intern
It’s hard to underestimate the importance of your company’s digital content in today’s crowded marketplace. Having a robust online presence can boost lead generation, organic search success and branding. That means your content strategy must hit all the bases, cohesively incorporating impressive design with fresh, relevant content and a meaningful presence on social media. Here are a few things to consider when you’re thinking about your company’s digital content strategy.
Making a long-term commitment. For many companies, digital content is almost an afterthought. They’ll take a person from another part of the company, such as sales or operations and put them in charge, or bring on a part-timer or even an intern. Maybe that was fine for handling your company’s Twitter feed or cranking out the occasional blog, but successful companies realize it pays off, long-term, to have one person lead a cohesive, structured approach to website design and development, email, landing pages, blogs, newsletters and social media. When your company decides it’s ready for a long-term commitment and wants longer, sustainable growth, it needs to follow through and partner with a digital marketing agency or bring in a full-time employee. …

What Are Predictive Analytics and How It Can Help Increase Sales
Marketers wish they had a crystal ball that would allow them to peek into the future to see how their customers will behave and whether they’ll buy a product. Since that’s impossible, they have to settle for what is called Predictive Analytics. That’s when you take the data from past performance and use tools (such as data mining, modeling and even artificial intelligence) and analyze it to develop models that predict future performance. In a recent study, the research and advisory firm Forrester Research offered several guidelines for using Predictive Analytics.
Search for data from multiple sources. You need to look for data both internally (in places within your company like sales per month, average order values and customer type lifetime value) and externally (in places like social media dashboards, Google analytics and government reports) to develop trustworthy analytics. …

Is Email and Email Marketing Dead?
When a newspaper (remember those?) printed his obituary after rumors he had passed away, 19th century writer Mark Twain famously quipped, “The reports of my death are greatly exaggerated.”
The past few years, many obituaries have been written for email and email marketing. Some people are saying that social media is to blame, as millennials prefer to communicate in 140-character bursts on Twitter and via pictures shared on Snapchat. These “experts” are saying that because people aren’t using email, reaching consumers with email marketing is also dead. …
Using Social Media Support To Boost Engagement
Twitter recently celebrated its 10th anniversary. The social media app has become such a part of the nation’s collective conversation and so ubiquitous (even playing a pivotal role in the 2016 presidential election) it’s difficult to remember a world in which we still communicated in more than 140 characters. Despite its popularity and influence, many companies struggle to find a way to harness the power of Twitter and other social media to promote their brand leadership, cultivate leads and bolster their bottom line.

Tools To Help Your Business Get Media Coverage
In our last blog we told you about a couple of tools to keep your eye on in 2016. Along those lines, we now want to share some tips that could help you grow your business this year. We recently read an article that listed resources available to entrepreneurs for better media coverage. While most were geared toward making it easier for a small business to operate on a day-to-day basis (like Asana and Google Drive), some of them stood out because they promise to help businesses do something that used to be left to experts: obtaining media coverage.
