Social Media Integration with Website for Business Marketing

Your social media strategy is more than just a Facebook profile or Twitter feed. When executed correctly, social media is a powerful customer engagement engine and web traffic driver. It’s easy to get sucked into the hype and create profiles on every single social site. This is the wrong approach. What you should do instead is to focus on a few key channels where your brand is most likely to reach key customers and prospects.  Social media is about driving traffic whereas the website should be the hub channelizing the users in the right direction. If you use social media to keep your customers or clients apprised of your recent happenings and are actively managing your outlets on a daily or bi-weekly basis, it might be wise to showcase your Twitter feed or Facebook posts directly on your website. Linking out or displaying inactive social media channels will only cripple your online efforts. If you choose to go this route, it is important that you maintain your presence. It is important to be tactful with your social media choices and do your research before blindly forging into unknown territory. If you sell a product or run a full-fledged e-commerce site and you haven’t [...]

Exhibition design considerations

The right exhibit design supports your business goals and will best serve your marketing and sales efforts. While your display should look good from every angle on the show floor, it should also be oriented to face the heaviest flows of traffic. Graphics are the most important factor of your display. Graphics attract attention, convey your business message and build identity of your brand, complementing your marketing strategy, and presenting a unified and cohesive message. Draw visitors to you with commanding graphics at high points where they may be viewed from a distance and ensure that you’re visible from every direction. An open design is easily accessible from multiple entry points, welcoming to potential clients and offers easy visitor flow within your space. Use something or someone to attract passersby and encourage them to stop. The attraction you choose may involve one or more of the five senses: sight, sound, smell, taste, and touch. Studies indicate that a display featuring an activity creates more memorability than a static one. Highlighting new and popular products is essential. Which products you need in your exhibit, their sizes and quantities will guide where and how to show them to their best sales advantage. [...]

Business or Marketing: Which should you really be running?

As successful business and marketing coach Dan Kennedy says: “You are in the business of marketing, not in the business of carpet cleaning, selling furniture, selling services, etc.” We agree with this whole-heartedly.
