Today it is no longer enough to have a website to have an online presence. Nor is it enough to just build several social media pages like Twitter, Facebook, YouTube etc. There must be method to your approach. You have to ask, “Why am I building this, where are my customers and will this help me get closer to my customers?”

Social media became the buzz word in 2009 and this continues well into 2010. The corporate world (with a number of RARE exceptions) tend to make little if any money out of social media simply because they view social media as a channel in isolation. For example, the process of optimising your website can be significantly enhanced by the use of social media platforms.
Directing the right customer (or prospect) to your business can be significantly enhanced by the right combination of channels, only one of which is social media. This is what you will learn at the 1 day seminar on social media. The digital marketing training course in Dublin offers the latest approaches, thinking and techniques from Europe and the US.
It is also important to note that across all of our digital marketing training courses, we spend considerable time explaining what the digital channels are and are not. It is critical that candidates understand that a digital marketing training course is simply a process where we teach candidates what each of the key channels are and how these channels can be integrated into your business model or brand plan.

If Charles Dickens will allow me I’ll hijack and invert a quote of his. Companies who are successful online are successful in different ways, whereas companies who fail, all fail in the same way.
I am asked regularly to audit organisation’s Digital Marketing Strategies and have noticed similar issues across most of the organisations who’s digital marketing strategies are stuttering or have plateaued.All of these organisations tend to make the same mistakes and these mistakes are conceptual as opposed to technical.
The first and most common mistake is a conceptual one in how people approach the medium in the first place. The web differs form the other media channels in one important and very significant manner. TV, Radio and Print are publication and presentation based media channels. The Internet on the other hand is an interactive medium. People do not go to the web to read, they go to interact, whether that’s with your business or with each other.
The web is not a presentation medium, its an interactive one. Campaigns and strategies that respect the manner in which customers use the medium are more likely to succeed as they understand that people are not a rapt audience in the same way that they are in the their sitting room in front of the TV or in their car listening to the radio. The Internet allows a level of user control that is unheard of and deeply important. And the number one thing people choose to do with that control is to interact with other people.
The most successful websites in the world are the ones that facilitate user control and allow and encourage user interaction. Think of EBay for example, i can sell what ever i want, when ever i want in any way shape format and ship it anywhere in the world and the number one way I express all of that user control control is by interacting with other people, ( i sell, they buy).
Similarly for Facebook. Its not just publishing photos videos, comments opinions and and anything else i want but its that fact that all this control is being expressed through interaction with other people. Think about it the only time facebook makes the news is when they change their terms and conditions or functionality in way that hampers user control and user interaction. So the most effective websites are the ones the ones that get out of the way of the user, in a sense the websites that win are the ones that disappear. Read More

Online advertising spending on the USA is set to drop this year for the first time since 2002. eMarketer estimates online ad spending will be down 4.6% this year. However, the slowly recovering economy, combined with basic structural changes in how marketers and the public use media, will lead to Internet ad spending growth in early 2010
The various components of online advertising react differently to cyclical and structural changes. While one format might show relatively healthy growth in the recession, another suffers due to the same economic climate. For example, pay per click advertising will grow by 2.2% in 2009, while classified ad spending will decline by 30.2%. Even during 2010 and 2011, eMarketer projects search will continue to grow at mid-single-digit rates, while classified spending will decrease again both years.

The Center for Marketing Research at the University of Massachusetts Dartmouth has completed a study of Social Media usage by the top 500 businesses in USA. Both the adoption and the awareness continue to increase, with over 90% of firms using at least one social media tool – Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook – in 2009 and over 75% of them describing themselves as “very familiar” with social networking.
Social networking and blogging have seen the most growth in adoption, while other technologies have flattened or even declined in use, including wikis and online video. Twitter usage, of course, has caught on quickly—more than one-half of businesses reported tweeting in 2009. This was the first year respondents were polled about Twitter.
Here are the types of Social Media being used ….
