Effective Twittering

2010-02-17T14:56:00.000-08:00

Ah Twitter. Everyone's talking about it. I think it's not as effective as people might think. However, if you are serious about marketing online, you'd have to at least be present in this channel.

How do you make twitter effective for you?
1. Link it to your facebook and blog
2. Link it to your website
3. Market your website on twitter daily - provide short teasers
4. Follow as much as 2000 twitter members - be selective - choose the ones that fall within your target market - you can choose who you follow based on industry
5. Put your logo and your product photos on your twitter's profile photo
6. Change your twitter page's photo under "design" section

How to Create a Successful Online Business

2010-02-17T01:11:00.000-08:00

The real test of an online marketing company is not whether it can move up a business website to the front page of search engines or if it can gather millions of clicks and impressions. Sure all these will help but these will be insignificant if the site does not make money to sustain the business operations. Too many businesses enjoy seeing increased links, traffics and clicks. But the real question is: Where's the money?

The online marketing company needs to closely work with the online business owners / marketing team. As an outsourced online marketing provider, we understand the business and its opportunities. LVDConsulting offers businesses more than just traffic. We offer ideas for growth and sustainability. We provide business solutions that are cost-efficient and sustainable.

We help companies build successful online businesses by creating strategies based on industry and competitor research, product concept development, packaging, design, website development, online payment solutions, online marketing, search engine optimization, after sales and customer service. All these aspects are intricately involved in our online product marketing process.

How to Pick the Right Webhost?

2009-03-18T03:15:00.001-07:00

My suggestions are:

1. Pick a host that has been in business for at least 5 years. Most hosting companies go bankrupt within 3 years. Being 5 years in business conveys some credibility.

2. Pick a house that has a lot of other products to offer. This way, you may get discounts as a customer if you upgrade your services.

3. Choose a host with 24/7 customer service and technical support. Even if majority of hosting companies these days boast 99.9% uptime, it’s still very important to make sure that if ever the server goes down or you accidentally delete your website files, there will be customer service people to advise what to do so you can recover your pages as soon as possible. Remember, a “down” website conveys more permanence than a closed store. Each hour that your website is “down” means lost customers and poor marketing.

We have a lot of other recommendations to help small business owners pick the best web hosting service provider. These can be found on the book "Sites that Sell: Creating an Appealing Online Presence".

One recommendation is Goddady.

Sites That Sell: Creating an Appealing Online Presence

2009-03-11T01:49:00.000-07:00

This guide is designed for small business owners that have limited experience in online marketing who would like to embark on developing or redesigning a website for their small business—AT THE LEAST COST POSSIBLE.

This guide is especially helpful for business owners who manage their own website or those business owners who pay other people to create websites for them as they would be able to manage the work of a web developer better. I do not attempt to dazzle you with complicated jargons used in online web development. I provide straight suggestions, clear examples and easy-to-remember guidelines. Most of all, the knowledge in this eBook is practical and pertinent to a small business.

What makes LVDConsulting different from other consulting organizations?

Interesting Online Trends

2009-02-08T13:12:00.000-08:00

I gathered a few interesting statistics today. However, as usual, let's be critical of the information we get online.

Of the 1,058 online shoppers surveyed 75% said they would not return to a website if it took more than 4 seconds to load. Only high prices and shipping costs ranked higher in their concerns. Source Click here.

Did you know that when you send out a mass email with religious content, there's a 33.32% chance that your email will be read? This is more than double if you send out a mass mail about "entertainment and events"which has an open rate of only 12%. Click here for more info. This data is from 233 million emails delivered by Mailchimp system. Mailchimp is an email marketing solutions provider. This is actually good data. The quality of this data is dependent on the credibility of this company. Assuming this is a reliable data, it's still not to be considered Gospel. As you can not assume that this statistics could be applicable to your case. You need info on whether this data is from a worldwide market survey or if it's just for USA.

A very good experienced sales man can only realistically expect around 5% success rate for cold calls. Click here for more info.

The problem with statistics like this one is that it doesn't define the meaning of "success rate" does that mean "closed sale" or the customer said he is interested?

I suggest business owners conduct their own customer survey. They can simply send out email to their customers. The email contains a questionnaire. The information they get from their customers' responses could be compensated with a discount from their products or services. Market data is pretty expensive if you purchase it from Market Research companies. Reports range from $500 to $2000 USD depending on the industry.

If you'd like to discuss low cost solutions to developing online surveys and questionnaires that would surely get valid responses from your new or existing customers, email lvdconsulting1@gmail.com LVDConsulting Group can provide customer survey solutions ($100) and data analysis ($150).

Start up business - what do you need?

2009-01-18T20:57:00.000-08:00

Marketing promotions make sure your target customers understand the value of your product. However, that is just the first phase of closing the deal. Each marketing dollar you spend should convert into sales that is enough to recover the acquisition cost per customer.

To sustain your business' profitability, you need to provide excellent customer service and after sales support.

LVD Consulting understands this need as we provide a wholistic business marketing solution that enables businesses to:

Gather potential customers
Increase customer sign up
Increase customer satisfaction after sales

LVD Consulting Group believes that "customer service" is an integral part of marketing. The way businesses treat their customers after sign up ensures that customers stay with them and advocate their product. In the end, customers who have been given excellent customer service turn out to be free marketing channels. Taking care of your customers, means taking care of your business. Your customers will eventually give you "word of mouth marketing", recommendations and testimonials -- for free.

If you are in need of customer service solutions or call center services for your business, email lvdconsulting1@gmail.com

We provide customer service and inbound call center solutions that fit your needs.

Google Search Engine - exposed

2009-01-13T13:16:00.001-08:00

70% of the world's online search results are derived from Google search engine. A lot of online marketing experts say that it's the "only" search engine you need to understand to significantly improve your online presence.

Let's do a little test. Go to www.google.com - enter your business name. Do you find your website or your name on the first page? 2nd? 3rd? 4th? 5th? If not, then you are losing the opportunity to increase your revenue online.

This is a book sent to me a few years ago. Download here. It's called "Google's Secrets"

Learning about Google is currently a requirement in online marketing... unless Google folds... which will not happen in the next 2 years at least.

FAILURE TO LAUNCH: 10 Worst Product Launches

2008-10-02T17:36:00.000-07:00

10) Sony Betamax

The 1979 Betamax was a real breakthrough for its time and for the video recording business. It’s a shame it didn't catch on. Grandma must be pretty ticked off that all of her memories are trapped in a dead format.

Why it failed: Despite having higher quality (and a cooler name), Betamax was defeated by VHS when over 40 companies decided to run with the VCR-compatible format instead. The lower price of VHS-C camcorders probably helped a little too.

9) Coca Cola- New Coke

Bill Cosby, a soda can, and a crystal ball. Nope, nothing odd there.

Is Bill Cosby really trying to be believable?

Why it failed: There was nothing wrong with old coke. Life lesson: If it ain’t broke, don’t fizz it.

8) Polaroid - Instant Home Movies

Five seconds into this commercial and this guy has already lost us. "Imagine if someone invented a wonderful box (what??) and gave you a way to catch little pieces of your life so that you could see them again, anytime, by just dropping them into the box. Now, now...wo..wouldn't that be something?"

Why it failed: Polaroid will inevitably be associated forever with the act of standing around shaking a picture that may or may not come out as intended. Trusting Polaroid to capture any life event big enough to warrant a video camera would just seem reckless.

7) Pepsi - Crystal Pepsi

Who knew that 15 years later Van Halen would be done with Sammy Hagar and bring back David Lee Roth? Also, who knew we would live in a world without Crystal Pepsi? We were pretty sure it was here to stay.

Why it failed:Similar to New Coke, there was no real need for Crystal Pepsi. Despite the shifting tides in early 90’s marketing towards healthiness and purity, people just didn’t get excited about a clear caffeine-free Pepsi. Not really a surprise- those who were that concerned with the health and color of their beverage probably would not be Pepsi drinkers to begin with.

6) McDonalds - Arch Deluxe Burger

Worst. Commercial. Ever.

Anytime you think the best way to market your product is by standing in an elevator in a chef's outfit and begging the people on that elevator to eat that product...you might want to go back to the drawing board.

Why it failed:The goal of the Deluxe line was to market McDonald’s fine cuisine to the adult demographic. Unfortunately, adults weren’t interested in paying significantly more for slightly different burgers.

5) Apple - Lisa

Wow. Looks like it took Steve Jobs and his minions a few years to really get the hang of that "cool commercial" thing....

Why it failed: The Lisa was geared towards business consumers, though those consumers were attracted to the lower price tag on IBM PCs. NASA got behind the Lisa project, which they regretted after it was discontinued two years later.

4) Levi’s - Type 1 Jeans

Apparently jeans that are perfect for those situations when you're being dragged through the dirt while hanging on to a rope wrapped around a possessed car don’t resonate with the masses. This confusing Super Bowl commercial was simultaneously the debut and the death knell for Levi's Type 1 Jeans.

Why it failed: Fashion is a capricious field. The designers at Levi’s made Fashion Fumble #41b: Celebrating the launch of a product before checking to see if anyone RSVP’d to the Evite.

3) IBM - PCjr

This is what happens when you only have enough money in your marketing budget to afford a dead guy. This commercial is flawed on many levels. Would Charlie Chaplin really know how to use a computer? He was born in 1889, back when North Dakota wasn't even a state yet.

Why it failed: This computer had a hefty price tag. At $699, it was twice the price of computers from Atari and Commodore. Many were also disappointed at the awkward layout of the factory-shipped keyboard.

2) DeLorean - DMC-12

How this car failed to catch on perplexes us. We know we''d want one.

Why it failed: The fall of the DeLorean Motor Company was not due to the vehicle, which is no surprise because this car is an incredible piece of engineering and style. Rather, failure ensued after hard times fell on the company’s founder. John DeLorean’s empire was dismantled after his arrest on accusations of drug-trafficking resulted in bankruptcy.

1) Ford - Edsel

"They'll know you've arrived when you drive up in the 1958 Edsel, the car that's truly new!"
I guess in 1958, new was slang for ugly. The front of this car bothers us, as it looks like an angry mechanical face.

Why it failed: A small army worth of factors came together to curse the Edsel. A name that didn’t resonate with the crowd, a bizarre pricing strategy, and a national recession have all been cited as factors by those who use the Edsel as an example of how not to market a product.

Blue Ocean Strategy`

2008-10-02T10:28:00.000-07:00

Is there really such a thing as BLUE Ocean Strategy? Or is it just another bunch of mumbo-jumbo, simple-made-complicated, concept developed by MBAs in USA?

Short info about the book:

Since the dawn of the industrial age, companies have engaged in head-to-head competition in search of sustained, profitable growth. They have fought for competitive advantage, battled over market share, and struggled for differentiation. Yet, these hallmarks of competitive strategy are not the way to create profitable growth in the future. In a book that challenges everything you thought you knew about the requirements for strategic success, W. Chan Kim and Renee Aubergine argue that cutthroat competition results in nothing but a bloody red ocean of rivals fighting over a shrinking profit pool. Based on a study of 150 strategic moves spanning more than a hundred years and 30 industries, the authors argue that lasting success comes not from battling competitors, but from creating "blue oceans"--untapped new market spaces ripe for growth. Such strategic moves--which the authors call "value innovation"--create powerful leaps in value that often render rivals obsolete for more than a decade. Blue Ocean Strategy presents a systematic approach to making the competition irrelevant and outlines principles and tools any company can use to create and capture blue oceans. A landmark work that upends traditional thinking about strategy, this book charts a bold new path to winning the future. W. Chan Kim is the Boston Consulting Group Bruce D. Henderson Chair Professor of Strategy and International Management at INSEAD. Renee Mauborgne is the INSEAD Distinguished Fellow and Professor of Strategy and Management.

Marketing Matrix

2008-10-02T09:40:00.001-07:00

One of the most common concepts in marketing is what they call the "Marketing Matrix" composed of the 4 Ps: Product, Price, Place, Promotion.

Of the four, the most important is PRODUCT. The rest would just add revenue.

The key to a sustainable business is a VALUE product. By VALUE, I mean, the right product, for the right market, required by the times.

A VALUE product is not OVER-priced. As VALUE means the customer gets his money's worth.

The place (or channel of distribution) is secondary in marketing because if you have the right product, it will definitely sell... now if you have the right product sold in 3 different stores, the store with the best location will have the most sales.

Perhaps the most complicated aspect of the business' assurance for sustained income is its ability to "promote" its products and services.

Many business owners who have really good VALUE products/services are not able to present themselves properly to the market. They are not able to communicate how their products or services would improve the lives of the people who use it.

This is where LVD Consulting can help.

LVDConsulting Group VALUES
1. Integrity
I believe that a sustainable business should be aligned with a vision that is consistent with skills of the organization, the demands of the market and the goals of the business owners. This is strategic integrity.
I believe that operational and marketing integrity involves consistent values provided by the product being sold and its promotion.
I believe that ethical business practices, respectful business relationships and value-based decision making would make a business owner sustain and profit from his business.
-LVDConsulting
2. Innovation
I believe that ideas give birth to action; carefully thought of ideas will bring forth carefully considered actions; great ideas came from experience and knowledge and most of all from a "way of thinking".
-LVDConsulting
3. Information
I believe that the best form of charity is to provide well-researched and well-analyzed information -- a channel of free but valuable education.
