ROI Marketing: Are You Prepared?

No matter how savvy the marketer, the impact that ROI marketing will have on the corporate culture can be an eye-opening experience. ROI isn't just a nifty tool to keep vendors in line. The infrastructure frameworks that serve the ROI model will lay bare the decisions of everyone who touches the marketing program, and that includes you.

So what must you be prepared to do if and when your company embarks on the lofty quest of ROI marketing?

A Note to Readers

Pah-tay Time: It's Our 100th Seminar!

Greetings, readers!

Did you see the email from MP Seminar Junkie Shelley Ryan this week? In her own inimitable style, Shelley writes:

“It's party time! This Thursday’s online seminar is a cause for celebration around here, because it's going to be the 100th added to our library. To mark the occasion, we've got an important topic, a very special presenter, and a surprise for you at the end of the broadcast.”

She’s talking about this Thursday’s virtual seminar, when MP Publisher (and all-around smart guy) Allen Weiss presents Tighten Up Your Marketing Plan: The Nuts and Bolts of Market Segmentation.

Allen will be bringing you the same expertise that he shares in USC and Stanford executive education gigs. He's talking about segmentation, an analytical process that too many marketers are getting all wrong.

As Shelley said, “If you want to make sure your company is targeting the right customers, don't miss this seminar. Allen has a gift for making complex marketing concepts come alive.”

And speaking of gifts... MP is giving away a $100 Amazon certificate at the end of Thursday's broadcast. I'll be on hand to introduce Allen and moderate the audience Q&A, after which I’ll pick one lucky person at random from the audience.

Sign up here now, and watch for a reminder from the Seminar Ninja Shelley on Wednesday.

See you there,

Search Engine Optimization for Google's Universal Search: Back to Square One?

Organic search engine optimization, until recently, had been a fairly straightforward endeavor. That changed in the middle of May 2007, when Google began rolling out its "Universal Search."

This new search option may have long-term repercussions for every search engine optimization company if it becomes the standard.

Dynamite Branding

As YouTube, Google and MySpace announce that video advertising will become a key driver in their future revenue strategies, the glitzy, anonymous ads we have been used to for years will have to change course.

Ads need to be intriguing in some way; they need to urge us to watch them.
