Three Secrets of Marketing

January 23rd, 2007 -- Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

In over 15 years of doing marketing communications work, I’ve picked up quite a few tips on plastic surgey to best get the job done. From start-ups to Fortune 100 companies, my three marketing secrets make a difference.

1. Consistency Is Key If I had only makeup piece of marketing advice to offer, this would be it: The secret to effective marketing is consistency, plain and simple. A press release here, an ad buy there, a brochure that looks one way and a website that looks another … these hit-or-miss efforts are doomed to failure and are just a waste of your money.

TIP: Don’t dabble at marketing. If your budget is limited, invest in a good, solid marketing plan and then consistently execute just one part of it until you can afford to do more. Don’t let it fall down on your list of priorities. If you think marketing can be of value to your company, start doing it, even in a small way. And then don’t stop. You’ll see results.

2. Amplify What Makes You Different As teenagers we desperately want to blend in with our peers, never imagining we’ll one day embrace the very things we worked so hard to hide. In business, marketing yourself and your brand is much easier if you have memorable qualities that stick in people’s minds. Don’t be afraid to be distinctive. Barbra Streisand’s strong nose, Warren Buffett’s frugality, Cary Grant’s elegance - these qualities are entirely authentic but hard to duplicate.

TIP: Take a moment to think about your business persona or company. What do you have that others don’t? If you’re not sure, do a quick review of competitor websites or think about comments you’ve received from others. Now how can you amplify those qualities?

3. It’s All About Third-Party Credibility Okay, now I am going to tell you some gossip. Did your ears just perk up? Would you have had the same response if I had said, “Now I am going to tell you all about me.” Probably not. What someone else says about you will always carry more weight than what you say about yourself. When thinking about your company’s marketing, look for ways to build your reputation with others. Reporters, editors, bloggers, customers, business and government leaders are all examples of influential audiences who could be spreading your message. It’s your job to make sure they know and understand what makes you special.

TIP: Take a look at the marketing you’re doing. Are you missing any important audiences? What one thing can you do to reach out to them?

Last Minute Mother’s Day Gifts

January 12th, 2007 -- Posted in Uncategorized | No Comments »

If you’re having swimwear hard time believing we are already into the fifth month of 2008, then you probably also just realized that Mother’s Day is this Sunday. What a predicament! Thankfully, we have the Internet to help us out in this department (what did we ever do before it?) There are plenty of snazzy gift ideas out there available with the click of your mouse (and the digits to any major credit card). So tune in for some great gift ideas for that beloved woman who put up with you for all those years, and still does to this day…

The way I see it, the best gifts are always the simple ones. Unless, of course you are a world-renowned poet, in which case you can simply jot a few words onto a nice piece of paper and have mom bawling. But for those of us who are not lyrically talented, you simply can’t go wrong with the following three gift ideas…

1. Flowers

2. Jewelry

3. Gift Certificate

I know what you must be thinking…boring! But honestly, who doesn’t love flowers? And if mom is into it, couple it with a nice bottle of wine, or perhaps some special chocolates or something that she really likes. For instance, my mom absolutely flips over chocolate covered cherries. Just showing that you know what her preferences are is a great way to show her you care and you’re always thinking about her.

The same thought process applies to jewelry. If you don’t tailor the gift to your target audience (Mom), then it will look designers you ran to the corner store on your way to the house for dinner. Make sure you have mom pegged before you make a jewelry purchase. Does she like gold or silver? Does she have a particular affinity for anything in particular? Perhaps that sterling silver angel charm would be perfect, because you know how much she loves angels. Maybe her birthstone is the opal, and she absolutely adores opals! See where I’m going with this?

The gift certificate can be tricky. You certainly don’t want mom to think that you simply couldn’t think of anything creative, so you brought her this lovely piece of paper. You also don’t want it to look like a last-ditch effort. So again, what does mom really like? Pick up a gift certificate at her favorite spa, and get her a nice relaxing massage or that long overdue pedicure. Does she have a particular clothing store she frequents regularly? Buy the certificate there. Any extra effort will go a long way. Gift certificates are perfect for even the hardest-to-please moms!

Good Luck, and Happy Mother’s Day!
