From Push to Pull Marketing via Content Curation

From Push to Pull Marketing via Content Curation | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Robin Good: Cory O'Brien writes on his blog: "...Over time, as trust shifted and consumers were more willing to look outside of the traditional sources for new content, additional verticals started to adapt to this trend, including ad networks and daily deal sites.

 

... [here] I’ll give a few examples of daily deals sites that have harnessed the power of content curation."

 

And then he presents three online services that are making the best of content curation for marketing products.

 

From the article conclusions: "By becoming the source of curated content, brands can shift some of their energy from push to pull marketing.

 

Instead of constantly pushing out messages through banners spread far and wide, they can pull in their desired audience by sharing content those customers will enjoy, and then retain those customers for long-term interaction with the brand.

 

This gives the brand additional opportunities to develop a deeper relationship with their customers without additional media spend, and puts the focus on a channel that they have much more control over.

 

Curating content that customers will enjoy does take time, and you can’t be everywhere at once, so brands need to choose channels wisely, but for those that have the personality and the resources it takes, content curation can be a great way to attract and retain an audience that will trust the brand for more than just a one time sale."

 

Insightful. 7/10

Author Promotion: What Worked, What Didn't | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Good: I wrote personalized letters to booksellers and sent them ARCS. My efforts resulted in my novel being a Booksense Notable (Which is now Indie Bound.)

Bad: I wasted too much time on bookstore appearances. Lots of time only a few people would come out, so now I mostly do drop-in signings where I just sign stock and chat up booksellers.

That's the question an initiative called Making Measurement Make Sense -- or 3Ms -- is wrestling with.

Google Plots Web Domain-Buying Spree | Digital - Advertising Age

Google Plots Web Domain-Buying Spree | Digital - Advertising Age | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

According to Ad Age, only a few brands, notably Google and Deloitte, have publicly stated that they intend to register generic top-level domains ("gTLDs") during ICANN's enrollment period.

 

Many brands have remained mum, perhaps not wanting to tip their hand with the enrollment period remains open.  Several highly visible brands, such as
Facebook and Pepsi, have opted not to register brand-related gTLDs that would
enable them to create .pepsi domains in place of .com or other top-level domain
tags.

 

Among those companies, Pepsi cited high costs (approximately
$185K to register a gTLD) and the likelihood that users' web browsing habits
will take years to change.

 

What remains to be seen is whether the highly contentious gTLD program will, in the end, vindicate ICANN's stance in opposition to marketers, or founder as companies and others decide they can live withour .your name here.

Target learned that the ability to predict our needs and desires comes with the need to do some psychological management as well. Accordingly, they began sneaking baby-related coupons into coupon books that also included other things. So far, Target reports, these women are none the wiser… and thinking of Target as their one-stop baby shop.

How the e-book landscape is becoming a walled garden

How the e-book landscape is becoming a walled garden | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Apple's decision to reject an e-book by Seth Godin because it contains hyperlinks to books in the Amazon store is just another example of how the oligopoly that controls the market for e-books is turning the landscape of reading into a walled garden.
***
Just as a few massive chain stores eventually came to dominate the traditional printed book market in North America, the e-book marketplace is a kind of oligopoly involving a few major players — primarily Amazon, Apple and Barnes & Noble. And while bookstore owners of all kinds are free to decide which books they wish to put on their shelves, these new giants have far more control over whose e-books see the light of day because they also own the major e-reading platforms, and they are making decisions based not on what they think consumers want to read but on their own competitive interests. That is turning the e-book landscape into even more of a walled garden.

Author and digital-marketing maven Seth Godin highlighted this issue in a recent blog post, in which he described how his new book was turned down by Apple because it contained hyperlinks to books sold by Amazon (with whom Godin has a partnership). According to a letter that the author says he received from the company, the new title — Stop Stealing Dreams, a book about the transformation that Godin believes needs to happen in public education — was rejected by Apple due to what the letter described as “multiple links to [the] Amazon store.” Godin notes that the book had links to related works, including Too Big to Know from David Weinberger, co-author of The Cluetrain Manifesto.

What book publishers should learn from Harry Potter: Memo to publishers: DRM is not your friend

What book publishers should learn from Harry Potter: Memo to publishers: DRM is not your friend | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it

Author J.K. Rowling has chosen to do a number of interesting things with the launch of the e-book versions of her Harry Potter series.
***

After months of anticipation, the e-book versions of author J.K. Rowling’s phenomenally successful Harry Potter series are now available through Rowling’s Pottermore online unit, and as my PaidContent colleague Laura Owen has noted in her post on the launch, Rowling has chosen to do a number of interesting things with her e-books, including releasing them without digital-rights management restrictions. Obviously, the success of the Potter series has given Rowling the ability to effectively dictate terms to just about anyone, even a powerhouse like Amazon, but there are still lessons that other book publishers should take from what she is doing. 

***

One of the encouraging things about the Pottermore launch is that the books will be available on virtually every platform simultaneously, including the Sony Reader, the Nook from Barnes & Noble, the Kindle and Google’s e-book service (which is part of Google Play).

George Lois -"the real-life ad man who emerged in the '60s to create a storied body of branding and magazine work. Lois conjured the "I want my MTV" slogan, invented the Lean Cuisine concept and, as the well-worn story goes, believed in his concepts so fervently that he once threatened to jump off a third-floor window ledge when executives rejected his matzo cracker campaign."

It's Not All About You: What Privacy Advocates Don't Get About Data Tracking on the Web | A Marketing Mix | Scoop.it
People condemn targeted advertising for its "creepiness" but the real issue is that we are giving private companies more power.

"Rather than caring about what they know about me, we should care about what they know about us. Detailed knowledge of individuals and their behavior coupled with the aggregate data on human behavior now available at unprecedented scale grants incredible power. Knowing about all of us - how we behave, how our behavior has changed over time, under what conditions our behavior is subject to change, and what factors are likely to impact our decision-making under various conditions - provides a roadmap for designing persuasive technologies. For the most part, the ethical implications of widespread deployment of persuasive technologies remains unexamined..."
