2. Marketing Tip 3 by Butch Hamilton

Evaluation is systematic determination of merit, worth, and significance of something or someone using criteria against a set of standards. Evaluation often is used to characterize and appraise subjects of interest in a wide range of human enterprises, including the arts, criminal justice, foundations and non-profit organizations, government, health care, and other human services.

Marketing Research

In the last article concerning marketing, we tapped into some common problems found in trying to market a business on the Internet. The only logical conclusion that one may reach is the fact of the matter that research should always be followed with a clear goal in mind. Once that goal is determined, it is then time to conduct marketing research.

Marketing research is the function that links the consumers, customers, and public to the marketer through information. That information is used to identify and define marketing opportunities and problems; generate, refine, and evaluate marketing actions; monitor marketing performance; and improve understanding of marketing as a process. Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues, designs the method for collecting information, manages and implements the data collection process, analyzes the results, and communicates the findings and their implications. Marketing research is the systematic gathering, recording, and analysis of data about issues relating to marketing products and services. The goal of marketing research is to identify and assess how changing elements of the marketing mix impacts customer behavior. The term is commonly interchanged with market research; however, expert practitioners may wish to draw a distinction, in that market research is concerned specifically with markets, while marketing research is concerned specifically about marketing processes

Marketing research takes time to develop. For example, in our marketing research concerning franchises, we have uncovered some interesting and enlightening facts about the franchise business model that we had no idea that we would find. Marketing research is time intensive, and requires great patience to diligently pursue.

It is an undeniable, and quite mysterious fact of nature that those entering the hallowed halls of SOHO promoting know very little about the very thing that they are trying to achieve. This MLM thinking has led many down the primrose path to non-success, and is totally due to their lack of initiative and drive to become educated in the process. Without this type of education, the very goals that they hope to achieve will be dashed dismally against the rocks of broken promises and dreams. It is little wonder that Internet marketing has gotten such a bad reputation over the years. It is not the concept of the business model that fails. It is the people that are too lazy to dig deep into the essence of marketing that should receive the blame.

Adequate time spent in researching markets will uncover gems of wisdom, and will aid the overall performance of any business campaign currently being attempted. Read more on The Next Page...

The Complete Guide to Marketing

Marketing is an organizational function and a set of processes for creating, communicating, and delivering value to customers and for managing customer relationships in ways that benefit the organization and its stakeholders. It generates the strategy that underlies sales techniques, business communication, and business developments. It is an integrated process through which companies build strong customer relationships and create value for their customers and for themselves.

Marketing has the full intent and purpose of looking objectively at a business model, and then setting about the path to prove its validity for long term financial growth. Without a doubt, without proper marketing and research, any business will simply fail to create a positive cash flow for the business owner.

Marketing is a series of sites that tells the real story about building substantial businesses on the Internet. This is a no frills site, with great reading content. It is up to each reader to decide whether or not to pursue the art of marketing in the right way, or simply go about the same old process just like everyone else does. Internet Tales and Tips will be a guide in that process of business building on the Internet.

Marketing Tips

In today's article, we are going to go into some detail about the process of trying to gain exposure on the search engines of the Internet. We are going to enter into a not so popular area concerning the grandad of all search engines. I am not going to mention any names, but you will know who they are. You know, the biggest multi-national corporation that literally owns the Internet, right? Maybe this will help. They are also known for giving away, supposedly, free tools that will assist in gaining better search positions on high traffic keyword terms. Now that I am sure that you know who I am referring to, we can move further into the process of marketing a website on the Internet effectively.

Big Brother Tools

In case you have not been paying attention, and I just cannot imagine anyone in the SOHO industry that does not pay attention to details, our supposed friend and ally, is really our biggest enemy when it comes to marketing. These free giveaway systems are nothing more than tools that allow these super giant corporations to monitor your activities 24/7. If they like you, then maybe you will be found. However, if they choose not to like you, guess what? You information will far so below in their searches that it could even scarcely be called digital trash.

Over the years, I have been guilty of this probably more than anyone else, but the fact of the matter is, that when I began to actually research all these minute details, I uncovered amazing facts. Those facts now have allowed me greater freedom, functionality, and takes away their veiled threats of not letting my information go out to the areas that I wish it to go. You see, this is all part of the growing process called marketing. Marketing is the only way that you could ever uncover these gems of wisdom. If you simply choose to go down the same path that everyone else goes, you will archive those same results.

Worthless Press

Once again, I am not going to mention any names, but I am sure that you will get it when I talk about one of the most popular blogging systems seen out there on Big Brother today. In our marketing research and testing, we have uncovered the real truth about Worthless Press. They are perhaps the worst propagators of spam, scam and hype found on the Internet today. In excess of 450,000,000 of these so called blogging sites can be found out there, and not one, and I repeat, NOT ONE, is considered anything more than a piece of worthless digital trash. No authority sites listed on the Internet today would come near a Worthless press blog.

Have you ever wondered exactly why Worthless press has so many updates? Supposedly they are trying to keep your special little piece of digital trash safe and secure. But wait a minute. You are not being hacked by the outside forces, as you are already loading up plugins, templates and various, once again, free stuff, that literally takes your seemingly harmless piece of marketing material, and makes it fair game for the good old boys to come and overtake all your stuff, and use it to their advantage.

Here, simply take my hundreds of thousands of free templates and plugins and just make them your own! We offer forums, support, insider information and updates, and all the while, the masters behind the plan are snickering at the men and women who use these services daily, and thinking to themselves, "what morons!" And, you want to know what? They would be absolutely correct with that statement!

Do not say that I did not warn you. The choice is yours. Become a winner by beating Big Brother and Worthless press at their own game. We do have the solution to problem, but YOU have to pay attention. Next Page...

6. Today's Bullpen Marketing Strategy
Marketing and marketing research is the integral part of the puzzle that most people who are attempting to build a business using the power of the Internet, fail to do adequately. Researching markets and trends is the way to establish the proper mindset towards that process. Those who are basically driven by the passions of MLM and network marketing, will only be drawn to pitching sales deals, sending out spam email, and basically trying everything in their power to convince, coerce or sell their exclusive products and or services.

The bullpen marketing strategy begins with bringing together a few people, who are wanting to research a particular business in detail. These people should gather together in a web conferencing environment, as this is the best place to communicate and convey ideas with others. Within the privacy and protection of this type of bullpen group, the business model is discussed, and the benefits and solutions will be weighted to determine if it is indeed a good business plan. There will be many details discussed like searching on Alexa.com for results, backlinks and the overall evaluation of the business in question in regards to the competition that will be faced when the promoting process begins.

From this point, the group will shift focus and go into the obvious downfalls of the business model in question. Further research and evaluation will be done, and over a period of time with this back and forth dialog, certain gems of wisdom will be uncovered. This particular research marketing strategy should be done each and every time a new business venture is found. One should never take for granted that the business is valid and supported, before conducting bullpen type discussion groups. It is vitally important to realize that businesses should always be built by using market research techniques, for if one does not do this, the eventual outcome of the business in terms of making money, will be significantly diminished.

7. The Brick and Mortar Bull Pen
The Brick and Mortar Bull Pen Did you know almost all successful marketing campaigns start out in the Bull Pen? Do you know what a Bull Pen is? I do, because I used to own an ad agency. I am sure many of you reading this are somewhat new to or mystified by the real marketing process. It is not sending or post ad messages to buy your product or service or join your latest get rich quick program. But from where I sit, that is what most self proclaimed Internet marketers do.

All professional ad/marketing and product/software development comes from the Bull Pen. A Bull Pen is comprised of a group of people from a wide spectrum of levels and profession/education into a conference room. The common thread is these people are a loose nit group that is somewhat familiar with the product/service being discussed.

Our Bull Pen had the account executive(s) for the client, the marketing Director, the Art Director, maybe a few designers, even the receptionist and the shop manager included. We would start out by identifying the obvious objective. We need to establish sales, increase sales or establish branding for this product/service/software etc.

The entire group has equal input and is usually directed by a leader. They can last for hours or be especially dynamic and the concept is identified within minutes. This is how we identify keywords, markets and campaign concepts. It establishes a place to begin. It gets everyone looking at the project from the outside in.

At times after several potential concepts are established we would make up several illustrated story boards or reports and then hire a small unrelated focus group that fit the demographics of the targeted market group we felt was effective then get their objective reaction to several of our potentially targeted campaigns.

This would help us get a really good perspective of a solid campaign. Then the marketing and creative team would go to work creating a much more developed presentation for the proposed marketing strategy based on intensive research and development of a final draft.

Again we would convene the Bull Pen members and hash out again. This process almost always gave us excellent direction, kept us honest to the strategy and produced measurable results.

At Veretekk, we make it our goal to teach real marketing principles and techniques so our subscribers achieve real measurable results conducting a real campaign that works. What works? Measurable results with measurable income in direct relationship with the amount of effort put forth implementing the campaign strategy exactly as it is mapped out.

If your marketing efforts keep coming up short, ask yourself, are you just out there on your own conducting a ad campaign and getting no results at all? More than likely, it is because you're "on your own" and you had no idea how the big guys did it. You will never succeed just sending out pre written ad copy via your email, FB, Twitter and ad placement. It takes a team. Join the team at Veretekk's Online Automated Marketing System.
