Marketing, or showing more people our brand, name, and logo, is an important part of any business. Without people knowing who or what we are, we can’t expect them to do business with us. When we make how we market better, funnier, or more interesting, we’re really trying to make people think we’re good or reliable in some way. Putting money and people towards making how we market ourselves effective can sometimes make or break the success of our products and services.
I think that marketing needs to develop an online presence. I personally check yelp reviews on what restaurant to eat, I buy deals from groupon and I also check out company’s websites or reviews on amazon. I think advertising on things people use daily such as Facebook or YouTube would give people the greatest exposure. It’s the internet age so everyone needs to get on board with the internet.
You must be able to tell which is a “scam,” simply designed to take your money and make the person promoting the Marketing Strategy money, as opposed to those that have a reasonable chance of making money for all involved. Ask the question, “Why is this person promoting this Marketing Strategy?” is a good place to start. Also, if there is some reason the promoter is not simply using the strategy them self?

Investing In Marketing Strategies
What are some of the biggest reasons you would ever look into this subject?
Researching marking strategies can benefit a company because then they will not just purchase a marketing strategy blindly. They will be able to invest in a strategy that will help reach their target audience. They will be able to choose a marketing strategy that is affordable. They will be able to choose the right media for marketing.
What is the biggest, life-changing thing that could come from this topic?
I believe it would be critical to invest in sound marketing strategies. A product would never sell if no one knew about it. I believe the only way someone would know about your product and/or business is through marketing, via advertising, print, web, etc. And you would want that marketing to be spot on, accurate, detailed, informative. Its a very competitive world out there so if your looking for your business and/or product to stand out in a very large crowd, your marketing strategies must be sound, competitive, creative and top notch.
Could this topic help regular people like me and you be better at what we do?
This is a stretch to connect Marketing Strategies and being a better person, in my opinion, but I guess maybe if the marketing strategies are used for non-profit organizations or organizations that help people, it would be helpful. If you were to help, say, a company that needs to raise funds for AIDS research you could be considered a better person because you used your time, effort, and ideas for good. I guess the more information you know, the information you can choose to use for good.
Can you tell us what it’s like to have this subject in your life?
To start learning about investing in marketing strategies, I suggest starting at the library. Once you have a grasp on the terminology and styles, do a lot of case study research, who wins, who loses, etc., learn from the past. If you are really serious, take some business classes through the local university, use the role of student to ask lots of questions of working professionals, network while you’re at it.
How would you recommend someone dive into this topic further?
You could learn more by doing a web search through a search engine like Google. I would start by using the keywords “investing in marketing strategies” and I would look through the results to see if there is anything worth reading. Even if there is, I would still change my search words a bit to see if anything else comes up, such as “how to invest in marketing strategies” or something similar. Also, finding a book is a good idea, and I would go to a website like goodreads.com to see if there are any books on the subject.
Tell me who in your personal experience is not up-to-speed on this subject at all.
Companies that could benefit from learning about investing in marketing strategies include new companies such as startups. Also small businesses or small business owners can increase company assets by investing in marketing strategies. Furthermore, people such as entrepreneurs. Finally, people who have accumulated a certain amount of savings and would like to increase the return on this amount of money more quickly should consider learning about investing in marketing strategies.
Give us some hints and tips on this subject, please.
I would give a person who is looking to using marketing strategies in his/her life a few tips. The first tip I would give is find out your goal. What is your purpose? What do you want other people to know about you and your business. What will you offer the public in general? People always want a product or service that will make their life better in someway. Where do you want to brand yourself? What mediums do you want to use to send a message out about your brand.
Please, let us know what you think is the biggest problem related to this topic?
Investing is a part of every task. Whether you are investing time, money, or just energy, its a constant part of life. When learning about investing in market strategies, its very important not to put ALL your eggs in one basket, so to speak. Its easy when dealing with money to get wound up and focused on one facet of marketing, incidentally ignoring or neglecting others. Try to find someone with marketing experience to help lead you through.
How could this topic make you more effective?
I would research all options. I would look into what kind of target audience I want to market too. I would then choose a type of media that could reach this target audience. Then I would choose a time that this advertisement would best reach this audience.
Describe at least one thing you would recommend to someone looking into this topic more.
I believe that people should look more closely at investing in marketing strategies. I think that people should put more money into advertising, but should also allow more budget to allow people to fully interact with customers in order to sell a product. Too many companies are focused on productivity without paying attention to gaining customer’s trust and confidence and using those tools as selling points for their business. One example is working in retail. I worked at two similar companies. There were usual things that you did in the course of a shift that got you praised. At one place I was praised for having consistently short register transactions. At the other I was praised for being able to talk to a customer long enough to get an up-sale. I agree that the more sales in the shortest time is better, but long conversations bring repeat customers and bigger sales in the end.
