The marketing video talks about the importance of content marketing, curation, and social commerce to the success of online businesses.

If someone has suggested you to give up the idea of online video marketing and you are just about to move ahead with this idea, it is time for you to think again. This is because online marketing via videos is not as difficult as perceived and this YouTube video justifies this fact.

Getting invaluable insights is a must in the world of online marketing just as for any other thing in this world. This is the reason why business owners and online marketers are trying unique ways to attract potential customers for developing mutually-benefiting relationships.

One of the best options in this regard is email marketing by which online businesses can easily promote their products and services.

From Blogandopinion.com:

Before we proceed any further, it is highly important to note that email marketing should not be a forced affair. This means that promotional emails should be sent to only those who are interested (or opt-in) to receive such emails. Moreover, each of the promotional emails must have the option to “opt-out” so that customers feel free to do business with you. This will also help prospects of the business in the long run by building credible business relationships. Never ever sell or rent email list of customers. If you cannot respect the privacy or value of your customers, they will not take a second before leaving you.

In addition to that, do make it a point to recheck claims and facts included in the emails before clicking on the “send” button so that no single piece of false information is provided to the customers. Furthermore, include a section through which customers can express their opinions and preferences (allow them to express positive as well as negative opinions) and work on them. Remember, customers prefer businesses that care for them by responding to their needs, before-sale and after-sale.

However, it is important to note that email marketing must be planned and implemented carefully and should not force or mislead customers.

According to a recently concluded study, online giving grew 14 percent in 2009. It was disclosed by the study that nonprofits reported more gifts and were able to grow their email files.

Volume of traffic to a nonprofit’s website is responsible for 38 percent of its success in building large email files.

From Philanthropyjournal.org:

Overall, 69 percent of 499 nonprofits studied raised more online in 2009 than 2008, while 31 percent saw online fundraising decline, says the Convio Online Marketing Nonprofit Benchmark Index Study.

Among nonprofits that grew their online fundraising in 2009, 92 percent generated more online gifts, while just 43 percent saw an increase in the average gift amount.

Online giving to small nonprofits grew fastest, with online revenue growing 26 percent and online gifts growing 32 percent for nonprofits with fewer than 10,000 email addresses on file, says the study, which analyzed data compiled from nonprofits with at least 24 months of data.

It was also revealed that web traffic grew only 6 percent when compared to double-digit growth in previous years despite the fact that 60 percent of nonprofits grew their website traffic from 2008 to 2009.

If you have just started a new business and think that online marketing is not your cup of tea, think again as marketing lessons are not hard to understand and implement as perceived by some.

There is no denying the fact that marketing a new business online is not a cakewalk for business owners, especially those who are new to the world of business and marketing. However, things can be made easier by following a step-by-step marketing strategy.

In this aspect, it is important for us to realize and remember that online marketing is all about research, planning, and implementation. In order to start, business owners need to first identify their targeted market and customers along with analyzing marketing techniques of competitors. It is also important to note that a business should not create and implement marketing plans as it wants to, but as the customers want the business to. Remember, a business can attain success only if the customers are satisfied and marketing policies are formulated emphasizing upon maximizing the level of customer satisfaction.

A business can promote its prospects online by opting for a carefully designed website that conforms to principles of search engine optimization and quality content. It is worth noting here that the site should be easy to navigate and clear with its purpose. A site should always bring forward real facts and should avoid misleading information at all times. For this, the services of an Internet marketing agency can be sought for a paltry fee so that it can be promoted on all available and feasible marketing platforms.

Facebook and MySpace are looking to expand their mobile services and this may mean good news for marketing professionals all over the world.

This news is bound to be received with overwhelming response from online marketing professionals as expansion plans of two of the most popular social networking sites will be generating rewarding employment.

From impactmedia.co.uk:

MySpace announced at Google’s I/O conference that it was to offer software for Android users to access accounts via an app.

What may interest marketing managers, including those who use professional SEO services, is its intention to increase the number of people visiting the social media network via phone from 30 per cent to 50 per cent in the near future.

According to Marketing Pilgrim, Facebook is also aiming to diversify its mobile content, but is focusing on developing text-only content for those whose handsets have limited bandwidth.

Meanwhile, the forthcoming FIFA World Cup could see online marketers in strong competition to catch the eye of users on Twitter, Facebook and MySpace, as they look to capitalise on the popularity of the competition, Equi Media reports.

The tournament kicks off on June 12th.

One thing is for sure, admirers of Facebook and MySpace will be completely having a blast after this much-awaited step from the two social networking giants.

In this YouTube video, BizLaunch Expert Andrew Patricio discusses the important aspects of market research so that it can be easily understood by one and all. After all, the door of success in the world of marketing, particularly online marketing, opens only after understanding and caring for the customers and this is what this video talks about.

More than 72 percent of potential customers in the world are on the web and looking for reliable product vendors and service providers on the web itself. And if you are already running a business but have not opted for online presence and marketing tools, there is a high possibility that some one else may be using them for his benefits. Read on!

Recent studies on trends of online marketing have disclosed that many businesses that actually never opted for online visibility noticed that there were some businesses running and cashing on the benefits on the web, using their names. Strange? But this is truth. Moreover, having a presence but not benefiting from it is like having no presence at all and in most cases, damage to reputation earned over a period of time with dedicated efforts. Well the truth is that while some may be using the same identity as you could have been using unintentionally and without thinking about harming your reputation, there may be some doing it intentionally and aiming to harm the reputation of your business.

Let us understand this with the help of an example. Suppose, the name of your business is AB Services Ltd and you do not have online visibility but you are a successful business in the United States. There is one more business with the same name but having online visibility and operating in the same geographic location as yours, can’t your potential customers assume the second business to be yours and deal with it without even realizing the fact? Yes, they can do and this could mean loss of enormous opportunities without even realizing the same.

The best way to avoid such a situation is to create, maintain, and promote an online presence of your own. It would not only help you reap benefits of online marketing but also helps you in controlling business reputation management on the web to a significant extent.
