Pay Per Click Advertising is a Search Engine Branding Tool

Pay Per Click Advertising is a Search Engine Branding Tool

A lot has been said about how pay per click advertising can be used to drive targeted traffic to your website, but did you know you can also use pay per click ads to brand your business?

It’s true. One of the most often overlooked aspects of pay per click advertising is the powerful branding force it can be. I’m not just talking about Google AdWords either. I’m talking about the whole shebang.

Whether you write ads for Google, Yahoo!, MSN, one of the smaller pay per click companies, or a specialty or niche website, your company brand can be instrumental in getting you additional business and creating top of mind awareness among your target market. Even if you never get a click from an ad, just the ad’s existence by itself can be a useful branding tool. The next time someone sees your business name, website URL, or branded logo, they’ll realize they’ve seen you before. Get your brand in enough places and eventually those targeted consumers will be at your website seeing what you have to offer.

There are three ways to brand your company online:

• Use your company name

 

• Displaying your website URL

 

• Your branded logo

 

Since we’re talking about pay per click, we won’t discuss the logo. But your company name and website URL are very powerful tools in pay per click advertising.

Yes, you need keywords. Don’t give up on those. Ideally, you would have your primary keyword as a part of your company name and your website URL. That’s the most effective branding strategy. Unfortunately, that’s not always possible.

If you do have a company brand and a website URL that uses your primary keyword then you are in like Flynn. All you have to do is list your company name and website URL once each along with an effective use of your keyword in your pay per click advertising efforts and you have instant branding. But what if your keyword is not a part of your URL or company name?

Well, then you have other options:

• You can run ads based solely on your company brand name

 

• Your ads can focus on your website URL

 

• You still write keyword-based ads, but use your URL or company name in those ads

 

The first pay per click option allows you to write ads based on your company name. If it’s a recognizable name then this is easy, but if your company name isn’t well known then you have to brand it. I wouldn’t recommend this tactic with Google, MSN, or Yahoo!, but if your ads appear on websites within your industry then this is a good tool to use. You run a sponsored ad on a related website using your company brand name three times (once in the ad’s title and a couple of times in the body content of the ad). If your company name is also your website URL then you can run your company name again within your display URL.

The second option is to focus on your URL. Are you promoting a particular product or service at a specific URL? Some pay per click companies will allow you to have a display URL and a destination URL. Use the web page you want to send traffic to as your destination URL and your home page (without the index.html) as the display URL. You can also use that display URL in your ads title and once in the body of your ad’s content.

The best and most effective way to brand your company with pay per click advertising, however, is with keywords in combination with your website URL and/or your company brand name. In this case, you include your keyword as well as your company name or URL in the title and once or twice each in your ad’s content. It should look something like this:

Brick Marketing offers Search Engine Optimization Services to drive customers to your website.

See how “Brick Marketing” AND “Search Engine Optimization” appear in both the title and the body of the ad? This is effective branding because it connects your company name and website URL with the specific keyword phrase you want people to associate you with. In the title, you can put your company first as above or put the keyword first and your company behind it. Either way, you are associating your company brand with the keyword phrase that you want people to remember when they think about you. It also works to get people to think about your company when they see the keyword phrase and the effect is to get them to associate both the company and the keyword any time they see either one somewhere else on the Web.

When it comes to branding your company online, pay per click advertising is one of the most powerful tools you have.

Branding With Banner Ads

Branding With Banner Ads

Every marketer likes branding of his business. In case of banner advertising, your business brand should be promoted by the banner advertising. You can even begin branding of your site by banner advertising.

Branding your business is a good idea to make your customer to remember your business type. When you are doing banner advertising, customer should have the idea about the type of business you have.

Know your target audience: While you have put a banner in front of your online visitors, there must be something going on in your mind for designing such a banner. Every banner is designed thinking about the target audience. A game site’s banner ads won’t be placed on a healthcare site. A banner ad for jewellery site must not be placed for the visitors on an NGO site.  First you decide whether visitors of a particular site are suitable business for your business products or service and then place your banner ads there.

Know your brand: Can a person identify your brand? Is there a logo for your brand and can it be shown in the banner? Can there be a punch that can be used in the banner ad? Try to know customer’s feedback how they feel associated with your brand. Accumulate all the points from customer’s feedback that may be helpful to build your brand and apply the newly learned concepts in your business banner ad.

Animation: The content and graphics of your banner can be put more if you use animated banners. If you want to tell more about your business, company or product name, brand or service type, use GIF or Flash banners to make a perfect sales presentation.

Repeated exposure: If your banner ads are shown for a few weeks, then viewers may probably see it more than one time and feel mental association with your brand. Also, repeated views generate more click-through rates to your business website building your brand.

Before launching a banner it is very important to test the banner in front of a group of net users. Even you can act as one of the visitors. See the banner ad on a sample webpage and judge if you can associate yourself with the ad. Can you feel the brand association from the banner advertising? If you and other marketers feel the association with the brand in testing phase, then your banner ad has the possibility for successful brand image building.

5 Tips for Branding Your Business on Twitter

Twitter can drive leads and sales. However, because of the simplicity of the Twitter platform, some businesses overlook simple ways to improve their business’ branding on Twitter.  Taking the time to optimize your brand on Twitter is important to help capture the ultra-short attention span of users scrolling through their Twitter feeds.

One way to enhance your company’s branding on social platforms like Twitter is by empowering all employees to be part of your company’s brand online. It is not about mandating that employees support the company online; that doesn’t work. Instead, it is about providing tools for employees to easily become a part of your online brand.

Branding Your Business on Twitter

1. Template Background for Employees
– A major branding factor within the Twitter experience is profile backgrounds. Profile backgrounds are the largest piece of visual real estate that you have to share with other users. While many businesses have custom Twitter backgrounds for their business’ profile, take this a step further and offer your employees a custom company template for use on their Twitter backgrounds. By creating a Twitter background template file, you can offer it to all new employees and provide them with simple instructions on customizing the template and uploading it to their Twitter accounts.

2. Consistent Profile I
mages – In a Twitter stream profile images are a major branding opportunity. At the same time, most people don’t like pictures of themselves. Take this opportunity to have someone in your company or a freelance photographer take new profile pictures for current and new employees. When doing this make sure that the pictures are taken in the same style: lighting, positioning etc. Additionally use a common background for the photos that represents your company in some way. This background could be as simple as a wall in your office that is one of the company colors. The goal here is all about creating consistent profile images across the company.

3. Custom URL Shortener — Twitter is all about sharing great content. Take advantage of this by making your own URL shortener
to help brand your company as people share your links. This can be done pretty simply by selecting a domain name and connecting it to Bitly Pro.

4. Consistent Twitter Account Naming
– Twitter profile names, or “handles” as they are often called, are an important identity for your business and employees. When setting up Twitter profiles, be consistent. Dell has done a good job of this. For employees representing the company on Twitter, each person uses their first name followed by “atDell” to make it clear who represents Dell to customers on Twitter.

5. File Branding – This tip is dead simple, but a great added touch. When sharing files like eBooks or whitepapers on Twitter, make sure that your company name is in the file name of the document.

Example:youcompanynamedocumentname.pdf. Because these documents get shared through email and will go to others within an organization, make it clear from the moment others open the file that your business is the source of the information.

Have you taken any of these steps? What other recommendations do you have?

Social Media Branding – Why For You

A brand is a center stone for a company. Building a brand required a balance marketing efforts across various channels. As days are passing there are sign of new beginning of an era. In which opportunities are countless for businessman, companies, organization & etc to establish or mark their name & build a reputation of them.

Now a day’s Social Media Branding become a very useful & great tool for the building of brand.Social Media branding help you get high quality traffic from social media websites. It’s provides the opportunity to reach your target audience in a more effective and creative manner than ever before.

Role of Social Media’s in Branding

Right from the early age we humans have an ability or I say (if u agree with me) a quality to get socialized through which we are able to solve our lot of problems. Still now a day if we have any problem we tries to socialized, by meeting with our family member, friends or other people, who in their life once have face or successfully tackle that problem. So the term of socializing is not new for us. So if I say branding through social media it doesn’t seem something out of the world or new to us. To support my words I will take you back to the past.

“Few years back marketers just push their messages, what they want to say, about brand to consumers. (by just showing commercial adds etc) ”

As people are getting more information & knowledge companies are more keen what consumers are discussing & saying about it. Social Media had a strong impact about public opinion & what they are expressing about the brand & products. So if I give thank to social media as they switch the control; as now consumers are driving the opinion about the brands not the marketers. I can support these words by giving you an example which my good friend (I will not tell u his/her name) uses to give me during our schools days;

“if u saw shaving trimmer add & its said that its easy to use, give good shave, having long lasting battery etc., you won’t buy that product at first place just showing that add even its market price is very low. But if any of your family member or friends gives good comments about that product you just purchase it without any problem. That is called Social Branding.”

For companies social media is important b/c it provides a way to get out there and get noticed. It’s an opportunity to go where the consumers are and create a presence and through social branding marketers now engaging with the potential users and involved in the conversations which are taking place about their brand or products. Instead of forcing yourself to your consumer social media gives you opportunity to hang out with them.

Social media however allows you to brand yourself long before anyone becomes your customer. In social media branding you are not the ad on the wall you are the guy telling stories about your brand which your audience finds fascinating and distribute it in its social circle. So don’t be afraid to participate in social media just because you don’t see the result quickly. But as the time passes you build your social reputation which leads you to credibility. And over time that credibility and awareness will very likely lead to an increase in your customer base.

As a dawn of social media is begun and companies have lot of expectation to get good results form social branding! 1 Social Media eagerly expects the challenges of social branding and has a commitment to fulfill your expectation.

Web Branding Blueprint Experience Economy

Change is inevitable; as an economy matures, ages, and ultimately evolves into something new, adjustments must be made to our business development, marketing and branding. Failure to adapt to new realities results in potentially unwanted dramatic consequences. We are all aware of how modern economies have grown from agricultural, to industrial, and on to the information-based, but where do we stand now? Is the information economy dead and if so what’s replaced it? We need look no further than Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to see parallels between personal and economic growth in a sophisticated modern economy. The agrarian economy satisfied the first level of Maslow’s hierarchy by fulfilling basic physical needs like food, while the industrial age provided the goods necessary to satisfy a variety of concerns ranging from safety to social acceptance and status; the information economy provided answers to our cognitive needs, the desire for knowledge, but things have changed. The Web has disrupted business as usual: the effects on the music, film, television, newspaper, book publishing, and software industries, just to mention a few, has been not just dramatic, but traumatic. The adage, ‘adapt or die,’ has never been truer for business. So where are we now on the personal and economic pyramid? Be All You Can Be At the top of this pyramid is ’self-actualization’ the desire to make the most of our existence and as the US Army’s slogan states to ‘Be All You Can Be.’ This is the central defining issue of the new economic reality, the Experience Economy. Authors B. Joseph Pine and James H. Gilmore state the issue of what business needs to focus on in this new economic era: “While commodities are fungible, goods are tangible, services are intangible, experiences are memorable and transformations are effectual. All other economic offerings have no lasting consequence beyond their consumption.” – ‘The Experience Economy: Work Is Theater & Every Business a Stage.’ Experiences are memorable and transformations effectual, this should be your new marketing mantra, your marching orders to fulfill what the market demands: to be all you can be. Experiences Are Memorable, Transformations Effectual What then does this mean: experiences are memorable and transformations effectual. In order to effect change: to turn website audiences into customers, marketers must deliver something more than commodities that are replaceable for a price, goods that are made irrelevant by technology, and services that are mere conveniences. The businesses that will succeed in this new experience economy are the businesses that will provide an experience and not just goods and services. We are surrounded by examples of the experience economy both online and off. The growth of coffee giant, Starbucks, was not a result of great coffee but of the experience it provided to patrons, while online, iTunes satisfied the ignored needs of music buyers and Amazon did the same for book lovers. The Macintosh is finally gaining market share because the experience consumers have had with iPods has been so satisfying that they are now ready to bring that same satisfying experience to their desktops. The key to business survival is not a new feature or even a lower price, but rather an experience that satisfies the soul. Experiences Satisfy The Soul Traditional business thinking has lagged far behind the sophisticated psychological desires of the experience-economy consumer. Business schools have produced a cadre of bean counters and statistical idiot savants whose grasp of this new experience-driven economic reality has been outpaced by Web-savvy mavericks bent on delivering the essential emotional need of consumers to gain some measure of satisfaction in a hectic, demanding, frustrating world. The Web is not without its own version of mindless number crunchers, selling the search engine optimization snake oil of Web-traffic nirvana. These new age carpetbaggers play on the conventional wisdom and comfort food of spreadsheet statistics. Like Texas Hold’em poker, you can play the math or you can play the man, and it’s the latter that generally walks away the winner. The Six-Step Web-Branding Blueprint The Goal: Transformation Through Self-Actualization The end result of our efforts is to transform website visitors into customers but in order to do that we must take a step back. The experience economy demands a new way of thinking about your audience and exactly what it is you’re selling. Every marketing decision you make from now on should relate back to one simple priority: what element of self-actualization do you deliver? Find that element and build your marketing campaign around it. Forget price, quality and service; they are all discounted in the minds of a highly cynical marketplace bugged more than enlightened by heavy-handed old-school marketing presentations and methodologies. Step one: understand your marketing goal is to transform your audience from unsatisfied cynical viewers into satisfied contented clients. The Prerequisite: Expectation Successful marketing is about creating a set of realistic, believable expectations that can be fulfilled by the offering. Almost daily we are bombarded by over-hyped, silly direct marketing Web-advertising that is structured to take advantage of consumers’ weaknesses, their desire to improve, to be the best they can be, and to gain some measure of satisfaction and relevance in their lives. Creating false expectations may lead to a onetime sale but not a long-term client. Step two: create appropriate, believable expectations that you can actually fulfill. The Product: Audience One way of wrapping your head around this new approach is to think of your audience as if they were your product; you are transforming them from unsatisfied browsers to satisfied evangelists – that’s your job. You just don’t want to make a sale you want to make coverts, an army of satisfied consumers telling everyone they know how great you are. Getting people onto your emailing list is not good enough; turn them into believers and proselytizers. Step three: the product of your marketing is your audience, turn your website audience into true believers spreading the gospel of your ability to satisfy. The Methodology: Experience Experiences are passed-on and reinforced by the strength of the story you tell. The Springwise newsletter has a perfect example of the strength of having a unique and interesting story. Emil and Magnus Gerbola of Denmark import Italian wine and sell it to wine bars, restaurants, corporate clients and consumers. But the experience of buying a bottle of Gerbola Vin is different from your usual trip to the liquor store. These two brothers, the sons of an itinerant Italian circus clown have set up shop in an underground candle-lit bunker built in 1942. What could be better than sitting with your friends enjoying a bottle of imported wine and entertaining them with the story of the circus clown’s wine merchant sons operating out of a World War II bunker. Step four: enhance your offering with a differentiating story forming the basis of the unique satisfying experience you offer. The Stage: The Web Believe it or not there are still businesses that can’t quite grasp the necessity of using the Web as their marketing centerpiece. And then there are those that just don’t recognize that the Web is a multimedia platform, and not just a reservoir of digital brochures and catalogs. The Web has multiplied the Paradox of Choice, the principle that the more choices you have, the harder it is to make a decision. As a consequence, websites must deliver well-crafted differentiating marketing messages using experience-generating multimedia Web-techniques. Step five: the Web is no longer just a dumping ground of random information; it is a highly sophisticated stage for creating experiences through the delivery of entertaining, informative, compelling, and memorable stories. The Vehicle: Video There is just no better way to cut through the remoteness and isolation of the Web than video. And when we talk of video we are not talking about slide shows of still photos and bulleted points. Just because it moves doesn’t mean it’s effective. The way to tell your story and deliver your message is with a real person that can express emotion, emphasis, charm, personality and impact. Step six: Deliver your marketing message, your unique differentiating story, your identity and brand through the clever and sophisticated employment of memorable Web-video. A Final Thought If you run a business you’re busy and that leads to a satisficing tendency to over-simplify, to reduce things down to an elevator pitch, to create meaningless mission statements and lists of bulleted points delivered by a boring PowerPoint slide show; unfortunately clients are complicated and business is complex, but Pine and Gilmore say it clearly in the title of their book, ‘The Experience Economy: Work is Theatre & Every Business a Stage’ or if you prefer just remember what old Will Shakespeare had to say, “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.” If you want to be a ‘player,’ you have to learn how to effectively communicate with your audience through the power and impact of experience marketing.Change is inevitable; as an economy matures, ages, and ultimately evolves into something new, adjustments must be made to our business development, marketing and branding. Failure to adapt to new realities results in potentially unwanted dramatic consequences. We are all aware of how modern economies have grown from agricultural, to industrial, and on to the information-based, but where do we stand now? Is the information economy dead and if so what’s replaced it? We need look no further than Maslow’s Hierarchy of Needs to see parallels between personal and economic growth in a sophisticated modern economy. The agrarian economy satisfied the first level of Maslow’s hierarchy by fulfilling basic physical needs like food, while the industrial age provided the goods necessary to satisfy a variety of concerns ranging from safety to social acceptance and status; the information economy provided answers to our cognitive needs, the desire for knowledge, but things have changed. The Web has disrupted business as usual: the effects on the music, film, television, newspaper, book publishing, and software industries, just to mention a few, has been not just dramatic, but traumatic. The adage, ‘adapt or die,’ has never been truer for business. So where are we now on the personal and economic pyramid? Be All You Can Be At the top of this pyramid is ’self-actualization’ the desire to make the most of our existence and as the US Army’s slogan states to ‘Be All You Can Be.’ This is the central defining issue of the new economic reality, the Experience Economy. Authors B. Joseph Pine and James H. Gilmore state the issue of what business needs to focus on in this new economic era: “While commodities are fungible, goods are tangible, services are intangible, experiences are memorable and transformations are effectual. All other economic offerings have no lasting consequence beyond their consumption.” – ‘The Experience Economy: Work Is Theater & Every Business a Stage.’ Experiences are memorable and transformations effectual, this should be your new marketing mantra, your marching orders to fulfill what the market demands: to be all you can be. Experiences Are Memorable, Transformations Effectual What then does this mean: experiences are memorable and transformations effectual. In order to effect change: to turn website audiences into customers, marketers must deliver something more than commodities that are replaceable for a price, goods that are made irrelevant by technology, and services that are mere conveniences. The businesses that will succeed in this new experience economy are the businesses that will provide an experience and not just goods and services. We are surrounded by examples of the experience economy both online and off. The growth of coffee giant, Starbucks, was not a result of great coffee but of the experience it provided to patrons, while online, iTunes satisfied the ignored needs of music buyers and Amazon did the same for book lovers. The Macintosh is finally gaining market share because the experience consumers have had with iPods has been so satisfying that they are now ready to bring that same satisfying experience to their desktops. The key to business survival is not a new feature or even a lower price, but rather an experience that satisfies the soul. Experiences Satisfy The Soul Traditional business thinking has lagged far behind the sophisticated psychological desires of the experience-economy consumer. Business schools have produced a cadre of bean counters and statistical idiot savants whose grasp of this new experience-driven economic reality has been outpaced by Web-savvy mavericks bent on delivering the essential emotional need of consumers to gain some measure of satisfaction in a hectic, demanding, frustrating world. The Web is not without its own version of mindless number crunchers, selling the search engine optimization snake oil of Web-traffic nirvana. These new age carpetbaggers play on the conventional wisdom and comfort food of spreadsheet statistics. Like Texas Hold’em poker, you can play the math or you can play the man, and it’s the latter that generally walks away the winner. The Six-Step Web-Branding Blueprint The Goal: Transformation Through Self-Actualization The end result of our efforts is to transform website visitors into customers but in order to do that we must take a step back. The experience economy demands a new way of thinking about your audience and exactly what it is you’re selling. Every marketing decision you make from now on should relate back to one simple priority: what element of self-actualization do you deliver? Find that element and build your marketing campaign around it. Forget price, quality and service; they are all discounted in the minds of a highly cynical marketplace bugged more than enlightened by heavy-handed old-school marketing presentations and methodologies. Step one: understand your marketing goal is to transform your audience from unsatisfied cynical viewers into satisfied contented clients. The Prerequisite: Expectation Successful marketing is about creating a set of realistic, believable expectations that can be fulfilled by the offering. Almost daily we are bombarded by over-hyped, silly direct marketing Web-advertising that is structured to take advantage of consumers’ weaknesses, their desire to improve, to be the best they can be, and to gain some measure of satisfaction and relevance in their lives. Creating false expectations may lead to a onetime sale but not a long-term client. Step two: create appropriate, believable expectations that you can actually fulfill. The Product: Audience One way of wrapping your head around this new approach is to think of your audience as if they were your product; you are transforming them from unsatisfied browsers to satisfied evangelists – that’s your job. You just don’t want to make a sale you want to make coverts, an army of satisfied consumers telling everyone they know how great you are. Getting people onto your emailing list is not good enough; turn them into believers and proselytizers. Step three: the product of your marketing is your audience, turn your website audience into true believers spreading the gospel of your ability to satisfy. The Methodology: Experience Experiences are passed-on and reinforced by the strength of the story you tell. The Springwise newsletter has a perfect example of the strength of having a unique and interesting story. Emil and Magnus Gerbola of Denmark import Italian wine and sell it to wine bars, restaurants, corporate clients and consumers. But the experience of buying a bottle of Gerbola Vin is different from your usual trip to the liquor store. These two brothers, the sons of an itinerant Italian circus clown have set up shop in an underground candle-lit bunker built in 1942. What could be better than sitting with your friends enjoying a bottle of imported wine and entertaining them with the story of the circus clown’s wine merchant sons operating out of a World War II bunker. Step four: enhance your offering with a differentiating story forming the basis of the unique satisfying experience you offer. The Stage: The Web Believe it or not there are still businesses that can’t quite grasp the necessity of using the Web as their marketing centerpiece. And then there are those that just don’t recognize that the Web is a multimedia platform, and not just a reservoir of digital brochures and catalogs. The Web has multiplied the Paradox of Choice, the principle that the more choices you have, the harder it is to make a decision. As a consequence, websites must deliver well-crafted differentiating marketing messages using experience-generating multimedia Web-techniques. Step five: the Web is no longer just a dumping ground of random information; it is a highly sophisticated stage for creating experiences through the delivery of entertaining, informative, compelling, and memorable stories. The Vehicle: Video There is just no better way to cut through the remoteness and isolation of the Web than video. And when we talk of video we are not talking about slide shows of still photos and bulleted points. Just because it moves doesn’t mean it’s effective. The way to tell your story and deliver your message is with a real person that can express emotion, emphasis, charm, personality and impact. Step six: Deliver your marketing message, your unique differentiating story, your identity and brand through the clever and sophisticated employment of memorable Web-video. A Final Thought If you run a business you’re busy and that leads to a satisficing tendency to over-simplify, to reduce things down to an elevator pitch, to create meaningless mission statements and lists of bulleted points delivered by a boring PowerPoint slide show; unfortunately clients are complicated and business is complex, but Pine and Gilmore say it clearly in the title of their book, ‘The Experience Economy: Work is Theatre & Every Business a Stage’ or if you prefer just remember what old Will Shakespeare had to say, “All the world’s a stage, And all the men and women merely players.” If you want to be a ‘player,’ you have to learn how to effectively communicate with your audience through the power and impact of experience marketing.

Change is inevitable; as an economy matures, ages, and ultimately evolves into something new, adjustments must be made to our business development, marketing and branding. Failure to adapt to new realities results in potentially unwanted dramatic consequences.

We are all aware of how modern economies have grown from agricultural, to industrial, and on to the information-based, but where do we stand now? Is the information economy dead and if so what’s replaced it?
