August 17th 2008 Uniqueness is the biggest key factor

Uniqueness is the biggest key factor. Not only should the products and services be unique, the marketing campaign should be unique too. Not only will the effort be appreciated but also the impression will be everlasting. Once faith of customers is gained, they will be like free walking advertisement and will spread the word to their friends and acquaintances like anything.

July 23rd 2008 But many companies often make mistake of confusing advertising

But many companies often make mistake of confusing advertising with marketing. They try to ape big companies like Coke and Pepsi in advertising but they simply ignore the work that goes behind that. The classical example of this is, take the case of logo for instance. Many business owners are so hysterical about the logo of their company in their advertisements that they think that it will simply bring in the sales. But what makes a logo works is none other than the reputation of the company and the logo must have a feeling to it and should truly reflect company’s values. One should also remember that these companies spend fortunes on advertising which a new start up business can’t. Rather than spending unnecessary money on branding your product one should invest money and time in communicating to the consumers that they can address their expectations. After building reputation and growing to a big size company one can think of these lavish ideas. Educating the consumers also helps as it will give them an understanding that you know what you do and are best at doing that. More and more people are becoming successful online. It takes some time and effort to earn money online and of course there is a learning curve. The main point to remember however is that it does not happen overnight and like any business there are risks. The amount of work and risk at the end of the day is up to you but nobody has become rich by doing nothing.

July 5th 2008 Web 2.0 Definition is About Values

Over the last few years, many bloggers have tried to define Web 2.0. Most list the new software applications that are changing the face of the web. However, a better approach to understading what web 2.0 means is to stick close its values of networking, trust, interactivity, and multiplicity.

Another element of Web 2.0 reflects how integral the web has become for people’s every day lives. Here the focus on software is appropriate, because these technological advances have helped mesh business practices with the powerful thirst for information.
