Why Mass Marketing Wins Over Targeted EffortsPercolate
In the second of our five-part series debunking major marketing myths, we’ll take a closer look at other factors that need to be considered in growing a brand. Influenced by Byron Sharp’s work at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, we’ll explore brands’ customer bases and which—if any—buyers they should be targeting.
Social media gives companies a way to quickly react to customer feedback and build their own marketing channel. It enables better targeting of niche markets. To be successful, companies should engage in dialogue with customers rather than talking at them, and make connections through everyday interactions rather than separate marketing attempts. Measuring results includes metrics like page views, returning visitors, and search engine placement. Social media challenges traditional marketing and requires businesses to be in constant contact with their markets through service and innovation.
Hansa Bhaliya submitted a paper on advertisement appeals to MKBU's Department of English.

It examines different types of advertising appeals including emotional appeals related to psychological needs, adventure appeals promising excitement, humor appeals using comedy, youth appeals targeting young consumers, scarcity appeals emphasizing limited availability, and rational appeals focusing on product features. While emotional appeals engage consumers' emotions, rational appeals provide practical product information. Both positive and negative emotions are used in advertising campaigns.

Consider the questions offered, find answers, and then act!

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

better
