Point Pricing: An Inside Look at PR 20/20's Value-Based Pricing ModelPR 20/20
In early 2014, PR 20/20 began rolling out a proprietary, value-based pricing model—Point Pricing.
Point Pricing ensures clients get the full value of every dollar spent, regardless of how much time it takes to deliver.
A point is a fixed unit of value, it is PR 20/20's value metric. Each project within a campaign is assigned a fixed-point total (e.g. blog post = 3 points) based on value creation rather than hourly estimates.
Points are allocated by campaigns and goal type (i.e. brand, leads, sales, loyalty), and therefore always tied to performance.
Points provide total transparency into pricing, progress, performance and resource allocation.

Attendees will gain critical insights into how the algorithms of Paid Social Media advertising REALLY work, including Relevancy Score and Quality Adjusted Bids, which govern how often your ads show and what you pay for them. A must-attend session for Content, Social Media and PPC Marketers alike.

Sales Process Engineering: Marketing Planning and Automationpropatrea
Sales Process Engineering is a strategic planning system and toolset. It enables you to engineer a sales & marketing process to match the key stages in the buyers’ process - to mirror exactly how clients want to buy.

# Sales and marketing process is opaque: Sales Process Engineering enables you to identify and fix problems that arise from the earliest stage of market planning - through to the sales close and retention.

llegamos a las negociaciones paritarias después que los grandes empresarios nacionales y extranjeros produjeran en diciembre y enero, una escalada en la remarcación de precios que afecta fuertemente el poder adquisitivo de salarios y jubilaciones. El gobierno nacional por su parte convalida este estado de cosas intentando fijar un tope a los aumentos para que no excedan el 20 %, bajo la amenaza de que no serán homologados por el Ministerio de Trabajo porcentajes superiores. Cuenta para ello con la indispensable colaboración de las conducciones sindicales comenzando por la directiva Celeste de CTERA.
Class syllabus for 5-Day Lean Launchpad class with Steve Blank.
This course provides real world, hands-on learning on what it’s like to actually start a high-tech company. This class is not about how to write a business plan. It’s not an exercise on how smart you are in a classroom, or how well you use the research library to size markets. And the end result is not a PowerPoint slide deck for a VC presentation.
This is a practical class – essentially a lab, not a theory or “book” class. Our goal, within the constraints of a classroom and a limited amount of time, is to create an entrepreneurial experience for you with all of the pressures and demands of the real world in an early stage start up.
You will be getting your hands dirty talking to customers, partners, competitors, as you encounter the chaos and uncertainty of how a startup actually works. You’ll work in teams learning how to turn a great idea into a great company. You’ll learn how to use a business model to brainstorm each part of a company and customer development to get out of the classroom to see whether anyone other than you would want/use your product. Finally, based on the customer and market feedback you gathered, you would use agile development to rapidly iterate your product to build something customers would actually use and buy. Each day will be a new adventure outside the classroom as you test each part of your business model and then share the hard earned knowledge with the rest of the class.
Neue Studie: Smartphone, Tablet & Co – iUnderstand?
Wie verständlich präsentieren sich die Anbieter von Unterhaltungselektronik? Wie reagieren Unternehmen der Branche auf direkte Kunden-Anfragen? Diese und weitere Fragen untersucht eine neue Studie des H&H Communication Lab, der Unternehmensberatung Iskander Business Partner und der Universität Hohenheim. Das Ergebnis: durchwachsen. Produktbeschreibungen und Pressemitteilungen lassen zu wünschen übrig. Nur die E-Mail-Kommunikation schneidet insgesamt sehr verständlich ab.
Neben einer hohen Nutzerfreundlichkeit spielt die Produktkommunikation auch weiterhin eine wichtige Rolle – Kunden kaufen am liebsten Produkte, die sie verstehen“, erklärt Ben Hagelauer von Iskander Business Partner. „Unsere langjährige Erfahrung in der Beratungspraxis zeigt jedoch immer wieder: In der Consumer-Electronics-Branche liegt der Fokus auf den Produkten und dem Vertrieb – der Kundenkommunikation wird dagegen zu wenig Beachtung geschenkt.“ So werden Texte häufig mit Mammut-Sätzen, Anglizismen und Wort-Ungetümen gespickt.
Verständlichkeit der Kundenkommunikation unter der Lupe
Die Studie analysiert drei typische Textsorten in der Kommunikation von Unternehmen: Produktbeschreibungen, Pressemitteilungen und E-Mails. Die Texte von neun Unternehmen wurden auf ihre formale Verständlichkeit untersucht. Wichtige Kriterien sind unter anderem: kurze Sätze, aktiver Sprachstil oder Vermeidung von Anglizismen und langen, zusammengesetzten Begriffen.
Die Verständlichkeit von Produktbeschreibungen variiert sehr stark, den ersten Platz erzielt dabei Apple, auf dem letzten Platz findet sich Lenovo. „Offenbar sehen einige Unternehmen Produktbeschreibungen immer noch nicht als wichtigen Teil ihres Produkts an“, kommentiert Professor Dr. Frank Brettschneider von der Universität Hohenheim das Ergebnis. „Unverständliche Produktbeschreibungen können bei den Verbrauchern aber Frustrationen auslösen.“
Die Pressemitteilungen der Unternehmen schneiden laut Studie am schlechtesten ab. Mit einem Durchschnitt von 6,62 Punkten liegt deren Verständlichkeitswert gerade einmal im unteren Mittelfeld. Auch wenn die E-Mail-Kommunikation im Schnitt am besten bewertet wurde, besteht hier gerade bei den Reaktionszeiten und bei den Kontaktmöglichkeiten einiger Unternehmen Verbesserungsbedarf: So antworteten zwei der Unternehmen im Untersuchungszeitraum auf eine Anfrage überhaupt nicht und Apple bietet trotz Ankündigung kein Kontaktformular für Kundenanfragen an. Bei manchen Unternehmen ging die Antwort an der Frage vorbei. Besonders positiv fiel die Bewertung für Samsung und LG aus. Sie fielen sowohl durch verständliche Antworten als auch durch besonders schnelle Reaktionen auf.

[Keynote presentation from the May 2016 PRSA Strategic Collaboration Conference]
The rate of technology innovation, along with massive shifts in consumer behavior, have revolutionized the industry and the job market. Corporate marketing departments, small businesses and agencies struggle to recruit and retain qualified professionals for career paths that did not exist three years ago, while academic institutions are faced with the need to adapt curriculums to the real-time nature of business.

- How technology innovation and shifts in consumer behavior are impacting career paths.

Origins of the Marketing Intelligence Engine (SXSW 2015)PR 20/20
Marketing automation platforms save time, improve efficiency and increase productivity. They give companies an unprecedented ability to understand buyers, identify opportunities, track campaign performance and link marketing activities to business outcomes.
But, they do not provide insight into the billions of bits of data being created as consumers move from screen to screen and interact online and offline with brands, and they do not recommend actions to improve performance.
Humans are limited by their biases, beliefs, education, experiences, knowledge and brainpower. All of these things contribute to our finite ability to process information, build strategies and achieve performance potential.
Algorithms, in contrast, have an almost infinite ability to process information. They possess the power to understand natural language queries, identify patterns and anomalies, and parse massive data sets to deliver recommendations better, faster and cheaper than people can.
What inevitably comes next are marketing intelligence engines that process data and recommend actions to improve performance based on probabilities of success.

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
