You’d only need one marketing strategy, one marketing plan and then you could sit back and watch the dollars roll in.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ahhh we can only dream. Even for toilet paper manufacturers it’s a struggle, I mean we all use toilet paper don’t we? One marketing plan right? No!. Even toilet paper manufacturers have to re invent their own products and target specific markets – Families want longer length rolls, environmentalists want unbleached, blue collars want softer, teens want patterns, singles want scents. And the list goes on and on!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The idea is to break your business into segments or SBUs (separate business units). That’s the first step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Let’s say you run and IT company selling communications. You have systems that suit home businesses right through to businesses with 100 plus employees.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Simply define your products to two specific markets.&lt;br /&gt;Primary and secondary, your primary market consists of the majority of people your products specifically suits and the secondary market consists of those people who may be interested to buy/use your product/service. &lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh68pjC-xjTisqWM6Wvh39N9nYkBO_8muVbL41ZyV-9UcsHyykmFTO1QKZbERthg0f-gQGSs_IcqaKB88H2ap9oU_uCNdzScjyOTWiwcDaJg_5Pz2Ia7RjOz7gv7esZs6-A9eAoAfJdV74/s1600-h/Untitled-1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260911163335206738&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 117px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh68pjC-xjTisqWM6Wvh39N9nYkBO_8muVbL41ZyV-9UcsHyykmFTO1QKZbERthg0f-gQGSs_IcqaKB88H2ap9oU_uCNdzScjyOTWiwcDaJg_5Pz2Ia7RjOz7gv7esZs6-A9eAoAfJdV74/s400/Untitled-1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#993399;&quot;&gt;Heres a quick example.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Step 2 – Now you have identified which products suit which target markets, you need to apply a specific budget to each marketing plan to reach these customers. Once you have done the plan, you can then decide in which order of importance you wish to execute them. You would define this based on either increasing volume, increasing brand awareness or increasing bottom line profits. &lt;span style=&quot;color:#993399;&quot;&gt;Heres another quick example of defining the market &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color:#993399;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRaeL7f8k6Dg_G9Rx2H741RS7CqFcUjhCZn2REsGCwLd5O8vaGAlz89XSSHZSV_4aNAKJPaljXP11M6VIoKTsujLjJD3m1APZhS42VK8sNSjJU_kAxIlCBIkgVntP4LdTtQRdsUkSdfw/s1600-h/Untitled-1.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5260913029657144338&quot; style=&quot;FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 152px&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPRaeL7f8k6Dg_G9Rx2H741RS7CqFcUjhCZn2REsGCwLd5O8vaGAlz89XSSHZSV_4aNAKJPaljXP11M6VIoKTsujLjJD3m1APZhS42VK8sNSjJU_kAxIlCBIkgVntP4LdTtQRdsUkSdfw/s400/Untitled-1.jpg&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div&gt;Step 3 – implement and evaluate. Even though the information contained within this enews is quite simple, using a method like this can help you stay focused and start planning! No matter what business you are in, these methods can apply to you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Remember before you start spending marketing dollars willy nilly, be sure to give your business a quick health check for e.g. ensure your website is up to date before you start sending leads there, be sure all your marketing collateral including brochures are also ready to go. It’s no good finding out your material is dated when you need to send it to someone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I hope this news has provided some useful tools and information.

It’s not all about having the biggest budgets or setting massive cost per clicks. It’s about understanding the Google AdWords service and really making it work for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is one main point I’d like to bring to your attention when setting up your campaign and that is Google Zoning. You can choose the location where your ads appear. For instance, if you are business based in Sydney, and only want to target people in Sydney, then you can choose Sydney and surrounds, maybe up to a 40km radius around Sydney centre.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;However, please note that Google cannot determine that your ad is only being shown to people in Sydney within your chosen zone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Google can only pick up ip address location. That is, not where you/your potential customer are sitting on your/their pc or lap top, but where you’re/their ISP (internet service provider) is located. For instance, even though I run my offices from Alexandria, Sydney, my ISP is located in Melbourne, so I will not see your ads.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;How can you fix this?&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There is no sure fix way that is 100%. But what you can do is this:&lt;br /&gt;Most ISPs are located in the major cities such as Sydney and Melbourne. It will be worth your while to add a small additional budget located in these main cities.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;To overcome non effective and costly cost per clicks be upfront in your ad description. Eg: the key word you may use if you are an electrician: Smoke detectors. The description you should use if using some budget in another city would be: Installation of smoke detectors save lives, servicing Sydney and surrounds. That way people whom are located in Melbourne, with their ISP located in Melbourne will not want to click on your ad. Whereas people who are located in Sydney, but their ISP is in Melbourne may click on your ad. That way there’s minimal wastage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You could also use keywords such as: Smoke detectors Sydney or smoke detectors Sydney electricians. This will also help minimize wastage and provide a better return on your investment.&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://marketingmechanics.blogspot.com/2008/08/getting-most-out-of-your-google-adwords.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJ9rd7LxgAXjf891h0V5kVD_yzqOrjgXmeTY-sKKOgSC8g0nEBBhKlSoOpPwNKH42cEh5WiPVgJgMcGPvBC_8PuuHOPACLhCG1FaY8wC-NBxiwtm_bMvCJ4Rf-akGo5zgQIhTpKoiG4sU/s72-c/untitled.bmp" height="72" width="72"/></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532891903105499178.post-186824187653668036</guid><pubDate>Mon, 28 Apr 2008 00:37:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-04-28T10:43:43.294+10:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">money</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Philippa Hunt</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">wisegirls</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">wisegirls money</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">womens financial planning</category><title>Wi$eGirls Website Launched</title><description>&lt;div align=&quot;justify&quot;&gt;Marketing Mechanics recently completed the Corporate ID and &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_0&quot;&gt;website&lt;/span&gt; build for Female &lt;span class=&quot;blsp-spelling-corrected&quot; id=&quot;SPELLING_ERROR_1&quot;&gt;entrepreneur&lt;/span&gt; Philippa Hunt.

You will find it as a link when managing the tools in your Google Ad words. I’ll provide advice below to tell you what it is, how to use it, why you may not be able to use it and what it does.&lt;br /&gt;What is the Google Ad words Campaign optimizer? The Google adwords campaign optimiser campaign tool is quite new and is a free tool within your Google ad words account. You can gain access to the optimiser tool when in a Goggle campaign or in the tools section of ad words. The campaign optimiser is automatic and at the click of a button can analyze your campaigns. It will review your budgets, keywords, bids, text and will automatically generate a report for you which tells you how to optimize your campaign. You can then accept or decline the changes the Optimizer generates and recommends. It takes only moments for the Google optimiser report and you can then review one ad group at a time.&lt;br /&gt;How Does the Google Adwords Optimizer tool work?&lt;br /&gt;The process involves firstly the optimizer tool reviewing your current ad word keywords and then it generates keywords that you may not be using. (You can do this any way in the keyword tool help without using the optimiser.) The optimizer will then review each bid for you and then make recommendations to increase or decrease your current keyword or ad group bids. You can then choose to add the suggested keywords if you like. Lastly it reviews the ad text for each ad group. This could mean it recommends changing lower case letters to capitals in your text or in your urls or text changes within your campaign.&lt;br /&gt;You may see this text in your ad words campaign when you click on campaign optimizer: This campaign is currently not eligible for the Campaign Optimiser. So here are some answers for you: Why You May Not Be Able to Use the campaign Optimizer?&lt;br /&gt;The Google ad words help section can provide some vital answers but below you will find a recap on why you may not be able to use the campaign optimizer on certain campaigns.&lt;br /&gt;Your location: Your billing address must be in a &lt;a href=&quot;https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=52589&quot;&gt;supported location&lt;/a&gt; where the campaign Optimizer is available.&lt;br /&gt;Campaign status: Your campaign must currently be active or paused. Deleted campaigns aren’t eligible. Your campaign also can’t have ended.&lt;br /&gt;Language targeting: Your campaign must target only one language which must be a &lt;a href=&quot;https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=52589&quot;&gt;currently supported language&lt;/a&gt;. Learn how to view and &lt;a href=&quot;https://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6277&quot;&gt;adjust&lt;/a&gt; your language targeting.&lt;br /&gt;Campaign is too large: Campaigns can have no more than 64 ad groups and no more than 2000 keywords across all ad groups in order to be eligible.&lt;br /&gt;Bidding mode: The campaigns bids must be set manually, so the campaigns using the Budget Optimizer or position preference won’t be eligible.&lt;br /&gt;Other campaign optimization: You won’t be able to get a proposal for one campaign if you’re already running the campaign Optimizer for another campaign at the same time.&lt;br /&gt;URL: There are some landing page URLs that the campaign Optimizer cannot analyze. It’s possible that your website doesn’t contain enough content, especially if you have a Flash site.&lt;br /&gt;For more information hers a couple of links:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&amp;amp;answer=52954&quot;&gt;http://adwords.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?hl=en-uk&amp;amp;answer=52954&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://groups.google.com/group/inside-adwords/browse_thread/thread/cb851709ac1e2d83&quot;&gt;http://groups.google.com/group/inside-adwords/browse_thread/thread/cb851709ac1e2d83&lt;/a&gt;</description><link>http://marketingmechanics.blogspot.com/2008/03/google-adwords-campaign-optimiser-help.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532891903105499178.post-8318513116281197889</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:24:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-18T15:26:02.614+11:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">advertising</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">multimedia</category><title>Multimedia</title><description>Multimedia – Bring your Products and Services to Life!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Multimedia is about taking images, drawings, pictures and developing them so they become animated and interactive.

Basically its used to find out target markets, understand your clients buying habits, provide you with a well qualified environment to launch your products and services and so on.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Think about this – When you go shopping to make a good-sized purchase like a TV, most of us do a little research. What’s the best brand and why, what are the different models available, which has the best price etc. This will put you in a better position to make the purchase. So that&#39;s probably the easiest way to explain market research – it puts you in the best position possible to make judgements.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What type of marketing research is available?&lt;br /&gt;Depending on what you require, determines the best strategy used to conduct the research. We take into account time restraints, budget, statistics and other information that we will find for you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Some examples of market research available include surveys (both electronic and hard copies,) focus groups, competitor analysis, and statistical information from various sources. It may be as simple as a customer satisfaction survey right through to developing a new product you’re launching and want the best possible strategies to use for successful outcomes.</description><link>http://marketingmechanics.blogspot.com/2008/02/market-research.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532891903105499178.post-3974627473593847797</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-18T15:23:05.749+11:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">advertising</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">direct marketing</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">marketing plans</category><title>Marketing Plans</title><description>Have you ever heard the saying? - “If you fail to plan, then you are planning to fail.” Whether you are planning a trip, planning your finances or planning your marketing, without the planning, you can bet it would be hard to get your idea/project/trip or finances off the ground – if at all!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It’s essential that businesses have an idea on how they should be marketing and promoting their business, as without this, how can businesses increase their sales?

Let us give you two scenarios to visualise and answer.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;1. You are a customer and visit the same two cafés each week. You generally visit each one about once    per week (a total of two visits).&lt;br /&gt;2. Every week the same person serves you at the two cafes.&lt;br /&gt;3. Café no. 1 and café no. 2 generally serve the same type of coffee and have similar service.&lt;br /&gt;4. Café no. 1 gives you a coffee card where you get your 5th cup for free. They also give you a VIP card that entitles you to 10% off all meals, 7 days per week.&lt;br /&gt;Q – which café are you now going to visit more?            &lt;br /&gt;A - Café no. 1 where you get your 5th cup for free + 10% on all meals&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The answer is clear, and no matter how old or young or wise we are, everyone likes to be treated in a special way, and made to feel special.&lt;br /&gt;So the keyword here is “SPECIAL”&lt;br /&gt;No matter what business you have, customer loyalty programs can be introduced. Marketing Mechanics are the experts in devising, developing and implementing fantastic programs that are unique to your business.&lt;br /&gt;Some food for thought… its easier and less expensive to sell to existing clients than to obtain new ones! You have already done the hard work in getting the client in your door or helping them buy your products and services. Now is the time to keep them there and up sell/cross sell. You will be amazed about the additional % in sales you can achieve!</description><link>http://marketingmechanics.blogspot.com/2008/02/customer-loyalty.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Unknown)</author></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-532891903105499178.post-1844043742818587320</guid><pubDate>Mon, 18 Feb 2008 04:09:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-02-18T15:10:48.063+11:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">advertising</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">corporate ID</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">direct marketing</category><title>Corporate ID</title><description>WHAT IS Corporate I.D.?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corporate I.D. is about your companies Corporate Identity - who your company is and portrays. It may be the first thing your customers see. Whether it’s a business card or brochure, your corporate I.D. makes up your stationary range. This falls into how you project your company’s image and how your customers perceive you in their mind when they receive your stationary and literature.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I remember many years back knowing a really switched on salesman. I had known him for at least one year. He always dressed beautifully, always wore his hair in the latest fashion, carried a soft leather attaché case and had the best looking business card I had ever seen. It wasn’t until a year later that I discovered he drove a car that had rust on the side of it, and his office was his bedroom!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;He was a great guy and of course I had to laugh with him and not at him. He was smart – he always came across professionally and well presented - so in turn - This is how I felt about his business and products/services he was selling.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So the moral to the story in simple terms  - Corporate ID is about the image you project – and you may only have moments to prove your company’s worth!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Company Brand/Corporate I.D. – who you are, what you look like&lt;br /&gt;Position: - strategies used to make your clients feel/react a specific way to your products/service&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Developing a logo or brand is not just about delivering visual solutions. There are reasons why the big guns develop their logos and brands – they sometimes can spend millions of dollars developing a brand or logo. Market research certainly can be undertaken, or more so should be to determine consumer behaviour towards your product/service. This research can help us understand your customers and what they do and don’t like – This can have massive impact, both positive and negative, towards your logo, your brands and even your company.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Corporate ID services include:&lt;br /&gt;•    Corporate image /market research&lt;br /&gt;•    Logo design&lt;br /&gt;•    Corporate Stationary (business cards, signage, letterheads etc.)&lt;br /&gt;•    Concepts, designing, printing and delivery at realistic and competitive prices&lt;br /&gt;Does your corporate identity represent your company&#39;s goals, sales &amp;amp; marketing objectives, attitude, and image?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The first step.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Depending on your business situation, whether your company is large or small, what markets you wish to capture or you may be after a slightly new feel or look. Whatever your situation, Marketing Mechanics will deliver you with a well researched, visually creative, unique and objective reaching Corporate ID.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;After a new look?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In many instances we have given a sparkling new look and feel to clients existing stationary.
