Study Shows Demographic Differences in Internet Marketing Priorities

linked_in_logoA recent poll on LinkedIn, published by freelance marketing advisor Carlos Redlich, revealed some rather interesting results.

In an attempt to narrow the focus of an e-book he’s preparing, Redlich asked members of the professional networking site to answer the question “What Are Your Biggest Questions On Internet Marketing?” They had five categories from which to choose:

-Hypnotic Copywriting
-The All Mighty Salesletter
-Magnetic Marketing Strategies
-Organic SEO For Top Results
-I Want it ALL!

Not surprisingly, of the 182 people who participated in the poll (the number of respondents just before this post was published), 35% said they ‘Want it ALL,’ with another 25% preferring ‘Magnetic Marketing Strategies.’ The other half chose more specific interests as you’ll see on the graph after the jump.

Goodbye (and Good Riddance) IE 7

Internet_Explorer_7_Logo-1Internet Explorer, long the bane of Web site developers everywhere, is being given the old heave-ho by many users.

In my weekly look at browser statistics (thank you, StatCounter), I was pleased to see that the combination of IE 8 and Firefox’s growth has finally taken over Internet Explorer 7’s dominance. As of today, June 15, 2009, at 11:20 a.m. EST, Firefox 3.0 has 32.09% of the browser market, with IE 7, for the first time ever, dipping below Firefox ever so slightly and coming in at 32.05%. These numbers are for the North American marketplace.

UPDATE: I was wrong. Well, only partially. At the time I wrote this post Firefox 3.0 hadn’t surpassed IE7. But that’s because it was still morning. However, it is worth noting that Firefox is VERY close. See the graph after the jump to see what the day of deliverance will look like.
:) Sorry for the false excitement!

Interactive Marketing – Is That Really Where It's At?

iStock_000000307584XSmallIt shouldn’t come as a shock that more and more marketers are taking their advertising efforts online. We’ve chronicled this shift fairly frequently, like in this post on the increase in spending in social network marketing.

But just because marketers are increasing their budgets for interactive advertising, that doesn’t mean they’re making money.

The good news is at least they think they will. And positive thinking has power, people!

According to the “2009 Promo Interactive Marketing Survey” from PROMO magazine, more than one-third of marketers believe that interactive marketing ROI will be more profitable than traditional marketing – such as TV, radio and outdoor - this year.

Take a look at this bar graph from eMarketer, which details the results of the survey:

Make Good Marketing Copy Pay for Itself – Over and Over

headerIn a recent “Get to the Po!nt” article from MarketingProfs, Rick Sloboda of Webcopyplus talks about how companies shouldn’t let good marketing copy go to waste. Getting it just right the first time around costs time, money and effort, and by repurposing that content for use in other areas he argues that you’ll not only save instead of spend, you’ll also reinforce your brand identity, establish consistent messaging, and increase customer recognition.

Here are just a few ways to make good marketing copy pay for itself over and over:
