Copywriting is achieved with proper input of the business owner, or as a collaborative part of a creative team (eg., advertising agencies partner copywriters with art directors, etc.). The copywriter has ultimate responsibility for the advertisement’s verbal or textual content, which often includes receiving pertinent information from the client. The copywriter is responsible for telling the story, crafting it in such a way that it resonates with the viewer/reader, while producing an ’emotional’ response. The art director has ultimate responsibility for visual communication and, particularly in the case of print work, may oversee production.

Despite the booming success of social media marketing, email remains the most reliable and effective tool for marketers (brick and mortar and online) today. Many expected that social media would replace email marketing altogether.

Social Media Marketing Campaigns – SMM:

SMM is Social Media Marketing. Social media marketing refers to the process of gaining website traffic or attention through social media sites.

Social media marketing programs usually center on efforts to create content that attracts attention and encourages readers to share it with their social networks. A corporate message spreads from user to user and presumably resonates because it appears to come from a trusted, third-party source, as opposed to the brand or company itself.[citation needed] Hence, this form of marketing is driven by word-of-mouth, meaning it results in earned media rather than paid media.[citation needed]

Social media has become a platform that is easily accessible to anyone with internet access. Increased communication for organizations fosters brand awareness and often, improved customer service. Additionally, social media serves as a relatively inexpensive platform for organizations to implement marketing campaigns.

  • Blogs – inclusive of plug-in requirements, SEO, Keywords, etc.
  • Facebook, Pinterest, etc. – campaign management
  • Content creation
  • Press Releases
  • Social Bookmarking
  • Social ‘hub’ pages, eg., Squidoo, etc.
  • Link Wheels re: page rank strategies
  • Forums, video sites, etc.
  • Instagram, Pinterest, mobile and other SMM integration strategies

Product Launch:

Product launch marketing deals with the first of the “7P”‘s of marketing, which are Product, Pricing, Place, Promotion, Packaging, Positioning & People.

Product launches, as opposed to product management, deals with more outbound marketing tasks. For example, product management deals with the nuts and bolts of product development within a firm, whereas product [launch] marketing deals with marketing the product to prospects, customers, and others. Product launches include, but not limited to… marketing communications (“online”), online marketing sales funnels, advertising, customer relationship building utilizing Facebook, email educational deliveries, online content landing pages, affiliate relationships, back-end follow-up campaigns, sales funnels, etc.

A Product Launch is something that is referred to when pitching a new product to the general public. The people you are trying to make your product appeal to is your consumer market. For example: If you were pitching a new video game console game to the public, your consumer market would probably be the adult male Video Game market (depending on the type of game). Thus you would carry out market launch research to find out how best to release the game. Likewise, a massage chair would probably not appeal to younger children, so you would market your product to an older generation.

A product launch market definition is to focus on a narrow statement. It focuses on the product type, customer needs (functional needs), customer type, and geographic area.

Progressive Web Apps (PWA):
Essentially a Progressive Web Application doesn’t require one to go to an app store/location to download. It’s actually
built into the website platform and delivers up as though it’s a part of a website… eg., App like in its performance but not a stand alone App.

Pinterest (as an example) had noticed that their website experience was slow and barely converted 1 percent of all visitors into sign-ups or mobile app installs. This led them to develop a Progressive Web App. With this they saw a whopping 50% increase in ad click-throughs and 60% increase in engagement.

In 2015, Alex Russell introduced the term “progressive web app”.

Website Audit/Evaluation:
It’s important to realize that any online campaign must build brand awareness, with a combination of all the aforementioned elements… utilized as a synergistic approach to gain customer exposure and expansion.

In order to achieve maximum results with any online marketing agenda, it is best that you evaluate where you are now and then determine the steps required to move forward. A complete evaluation report on existing and pending launches are available.
