New Year … New Marketing? – Cover Hunt Event
Category:Events,Personalized Marketing,Personalized Marketing Inc,PM Inc,Real Marketing for Organic GrowthNew Year … New Marketing?
So, it’s that time again… time to decide whether your marketing efforts from 2018 worked, didn’t work, or not sure either way…
If you are like us, we have been collecting stats all year long and January marks the time to compare them, see what months you did better in and what months you didn’t. It is also a good time to look at the days, hours, and content you are posting. By understanding your stats not just from the social media networks but also your own website, you will have a better understanding about those that not just follow you but interact with what you are putting out there. If you happen to have a brand-new social network account, then you may not have any stats to collect on the network but hopefully, you have been keeping track of your post in a social networking platform tool, such as Zoho. You can also download or request an export of your post on various social networks. We prefer Zoho because even with a brand-new network after a month of posting, it does provide suggested dates and times to post.
Now that you have your stats, how do you understand them? Comparison from one quarter to the next can help. You can see by looking at last January’s post what days worked better and what times were people more likely to see them. Remember that the month, day, time, season, weather and other variables can affect how well a post may or may not do. Just because the weather was beautiful last year at this time, does not mean that it will be this year, take the upcoming snow storm we are expecting. We do not always get significant amounts of snow currently of year, sometimes we even get comfortably warm weather. So, when comparing your statistics consider looking at each month.
Now that you have looked at the numbers, what’s next? Time to post on those peak days and times, even if it’s 4:00 PM in the afternoon on a Thursday. However, you want to also post on the days and times you would like for your viewers to be on, (sounds like a newsletter huh). Once you have faithful followers, they will notice what times you’re on and even check out what’s new with you.

More Than Just Social Site Marketing
Category:Articles By Dee Carver,Personalized Marketing,Personalized Marketing Inc,PM Inc,Real Marketing for Organic Growth
Why Social Site Marketing Alone Is NOT Enough
I bet many readers looking at that title went ‘huh?’, I know, because I would have had the same reaction at one point in time. I would have said but social site marketing is a key component to marketing and I would have been sadly mistaken. Marketing alone is just not enough.
You also have to do Search Engine Marketing, Email Marketing, Search Engine Optimization, and you have to combine these different elements together. It’s great to have a large social reach but unless everything you have is being listed on that network then you might find yourself with a large problem, no final actions (sales, sign-ups, subscribers). Being on a social network is required but if you do not have a blog or website where the same information you put on that network, then people can only find you in one location.
Social Reach
So let’s pretend that you have a ‘Cyber Monday’ sale going to happen but the only place you have referred to it is on your blog. The people on your social networks will not know about it unless they happen to follow your blog. Now picture you have created this stunning advertisement for ‘Facebook’ and then did not send the viewers anywhere, sure you reached a lot of people but it did not do any good for your business.
SEO Again?
Now comes the kicker… You do put the ad on your Social Site and Website, did you send it out to your email followers? A better question, did you optimize the announcement and landing page for SEO? You have put forth this great ad but there is no marketing plan, no Search Engine Optimization, and you have not contacted those who already want to hear from you. The ad itself is not going to reach its full potential and with some of the changes on social networks, you cannot count on it being the primary source of potential buyers.
Analysis
So let’s say you have put the ad on your website, social network, sent an email blast and even optimized it for search engines, awesome! Did you put the post out at the best times? This is where network analysis can make or break your marketing budget. If you do not know what day or time is the best to advertise it then you will find yourself missing out on a potentially huge market.
Need Help?
Marketing Managers / Coordinators know that you have to have a full circle of planning. You have to plan launch dates, you have to know when to start, what your peak days and times are, you have to have the ‘goal’ and follow-through action decided. It cannot just be ‘sell more’ because then you are only focusing on the bottom dollar and not preparing for growth.

Real Marketing For Organic Growth PT 25
Category:Articles By Dee Carver,PM Inc,Real Marketing for Organic GrowthWhy You Should Be Using More Than One Social Network
It has been a while since we focused on marketing but it seems that changes have prompted a new post. As many of you may have heard, Google is getting rid of Google+ as of August 2019. Now some of you may not take much notice but others may be wondering what now… This is the very reason why myself and other Marketing Specialist suggest using more than one social media network. Networks, as we have seen with others, can last for decades but many come and go or change their platform to where you just don’t belong, such as the changes to MySpace.
Do not get me wrong if you are in the music industry then MySpace is still a place to be but it really is not designed for other venues anymore. Facebook recently made a big announcement to the way businesses are shown and how it affects users such as you. Twitter made a positive change and increased the number of characters and each network has is focused on specific users. Some networks are fads and as with all fads they will fade away and others just do not make the number of profits needed to continue forward.
Dealing With The Unexpected
Having more than one social network is more than just about reaching the users on them it also means that if unexpected and potentially problematic changes take place you do not have to worry about “how am I going to reach viewers now?” You already have a plan in place. Since Google+ is closing its doors does that mean you should stop posting to it between now and the shut-off date? Nope, it only means that you need to adjust your marketing plan and maybe even consider that social network site that you before decided you were too busy to use.
Yes, it is a year away (well almost) but you still need to be adjusting your strategy now. You need to make sure that there is no information shared on it that you do not have elsewhere or at least saved. You need to make sure that any connections you have made there are found on different platforms, (if you are a client of ours then your post are on several other networks already). You may even want to begin transferring your followers and friends to another network. Now if you have a small platform and reach, then it will not take you too long to do this. However, I imagine most of the readers will have months, years and longer than they do not want to lose. So instead of waiting to the last moment, start the transfer process now.
Take Action Now
Make a plan, schedule out at least 30 minutes to an hour each week to begin the process. There are exactly 291 Days — or — 41 Weeks and 4 Days from the date of this post. If you give yourself an hour each week then that means you have only 41 hours to get it done. However, if you do an hour twice a week then you have 82 hours in which to move the content you do not want to lose. I have not heard as of yet if they will be keeping the content or if it will just disappear.
You might also not be aware of is Google’s URL shortening service is also closing, in March 2019. Personalized Marketing Inc has some shortened URLs using their service and each month, I go in and make note of the current stats and keep a running list of the URLs. Will the shortened URLs eventually create 404 Errors, I cannot say but being a geek, working in marketing and doing SEO I am not taking a chance.

Real Marketing for Organic Growth pt 1
Category:Articles By Dee Carver,Personalized Marketing,Personalized Marketing Inc,PM Inc,Real Marketing for Organic Growth
I often hear “What is social site marketing?” and “How does it affect me?”, so I decided to write a series of articles on how it can impact you.
Social site marketing is generating word-of-mouth interest on social networks about you, your work, or cause. Social Site Marketing affects you because, if people cannot find you, then you cannot grow.
How Real Marketing for Organic Growth works...
People often believe that it is the number of fans, friends, likes, follows that make an impact on their social networks. This is true but only partly. Social Reach is more than just the people who are following you but their friends and such. It is the Organic Reach you have through word-of-mouth (sharing, liking, retweets…) online.
When you go shopping and you go to buy a box of cereal and at the end of the isle you see bananas, that is marketing. When you share the batch of bananas you found at the end of the isle, you just participated in Organic Reach.
Why?
Because they were someone else’s bananas that you not only bought but also shared. To have Organic Growth, you have to have social site marketing, search engine optimization, quality content, email marketing or blogs, and people who care about what you talk about. To gain people that care about what you talk about, you have to care about what they say. You cannot just post about your product or brand, you have to take time and interact with the people following you. You want to wish them happy birthday, like or share their post, thank them for taking time to like what you said.
Just as a plant cannot grow without care YOU CANNOT GROW without caring what your fans/friends/followers’/twitter tribe/YouTubers etc care about.
