Image
The best is truly yet to come in the ever evolving space of digital marketing. (Representative Image) By Neha Kulwal The performance marketing space has seen an accelerated growth amidst the rise of SaaS platforms, along with the growth in popularity of affiliate networks. Increased dependence on new third-party tools has also aided in the measurement of ROI from paid marketing activities. With consumer behavior changing in the post pandemic era, ROI measurement should comprise both long-term and short-term strategies going into 2021. In the current times, brands which are entirely functional in the online space are not just concerned with brand awareness - they are also focused on getting performance driven results through their marketing activities. With advanced analytical tools, advertisers now have the freedom to pay for achieved results. This is what is expected from performance marketing, wherein, the advertisers disburse money, based on the generation transactions or qualifie...

TipRanks 3 Monster Growth Stocks to Beat the Volatility Volatility is back on the menu. Last week brought January's trading to a close in what amounted to the stock market's worst month since October. The GameStop saga hogged the headlines as the retail buying frenzy for names with high short interest raised the possibility the market might be exhibiting bubble behavior. Add into the mix the slow rollout of Covid-19 vaccines and the fear of a delayed return to normalcy, and once again, uncertainty is engulfing Wall Street. The key to success in this environment is really the same as in 'normal' times. Look for stocks with sound fundamentals and a history of success. Yes, past performance is no guarantee of future returns, but a history of share price growth is a good indicator. After all, growth stocks are growing for a reason. We've used the TipRanks database to pull up the details on three such growth stocks that have shown sustained gains over the past yea...

How to Achieve Success With Google AdWords - TechBullion

Image
Google AdWords is an internet marketing platform developed by Google. It's where advertisers bid on keywords to display short, contextual ads, service offers, product listings, and videos within search results. It can also place ads on websites, on social media, and on mobile applications. It lets website owners show up in search results for particular key phrases. To get a high placement in words, it's best to know how the system works. When someone searches for something using a keyword, a bidding war breaks out between website owners who want to reach the top position in words. The highest bidder then gets the top slot in the Google search results for that searched phrase. The second highest bidder follows and so on. To keep your ads at the top of the list, you need to have a good quality score. You can check your quality score online through the management tools. A high-quality score always means higher bids and click through rates...

Does Your Google Ad Spend Buy Better SEO? - JumpFly PPC Advertising News

Image
Share This Story, Choose Your Platform! Surely spending more on Google Ads will get you better placement in organic search also, right? That's the claim that one Google sales representative allegedly made to a prospective client recently. But is it true that higher ad spend equals better organic results? Ever since Google Ads launched as AdWords on October 23, 2000, digital marketers have speculated that there must be a connection between dollars spent on pay-per-click (PPC) ads and performance in the free organic search results. Twenty-one years later, it's still a common question that clients ask: "Can I buy better organic search performance by increasing my ad spend?" The answer is, unequivocally: "No." Google Ads spend does not affect organic search performance in any way. Nor does participation in or purchase of any Google product from GSuite to the $150,000-per-year Google Analytics 360. In Google's words: "While advertiser...

Attributing Sales to Email Marketing Is Not Always Easy - Practical Ecommerce

Image
Attributing sales to email marketing can be difficult. A typical customer journey involves multiple touchpoints, such as email, organic search, and social media. But the better we understand the impact of each channel on conversions, the better we can optimize that channel for growth. In this post, I'll address common mistakes in tracking sales from email. 4 Common Email Attribution Errors Mistake 1: Relying on offer codes. Many retailers include offer codes in marketing emails. Customers then enter that code at checkout to receive a discount. After the campaign, merchants tally the transactions from the code to gauge performance. But there are several reasons why this method of attribution is inaccurate. Few recipients use offer codes. In my experience, offer code redemptions represent no more than 20 percent of conversions. Consumers forget, or their products do not qualify for the offer. Competing offers. Consumers inclined to use discount codes often search for a...

Salesforce has cut off emails from the Trump campaign - Input

Image
The great de-platforming continues. After being cut off from the likes of Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, and Snapchat, it appears that President Trump has also lost his email. According to Vice , the Trump campaign went eerily quiet after riots at the Capitol, not because it was carefully considering its response, or because it thought an attempted coup might be a bad time to ask for cash contributions, but instead because backend provider Salesforce cut it off Trump's email list has been considered one of the most valuable in Western politics with an estimated 20 million subscribers, though the number could be far higher than that. The Trump campaign has made plenty of money from the list by selling its contents to various buyers, reportedly for millions of dollars. Like so many other avenues for spreading the Gospel According to Don — like social network Parler, which desperately sought to secure Trump's patronage — this one's now been closed to traffic. Another one bites...

How To Personalize Email Marketing With Customer Journey Mapping - Business 2 Community

Image
As more businesses shift towards more customer-centered values and business models, customer journey mapping is quickly becoming a rising star in marketing strategy. Customer journey mapping does not guarantee better customer engagement on its own, but it can be an essential tool for gaining a deeper understanding of your customers' wants, needs, and expectations. Mapping can even help you anticipate what your customer base may want in the future — what business owner doesn't want to be more attuned to their customer's upcoming needs? While this trend in marketing has many applications, the customer journey map is an undoubtedly valuable tool for creating impactful email marketing campaigns. Customer journey mapping is an unfamiliar term to many, but the premise of it is pretty simple. It is the process of understanding (a) how customers experience your brand and (b) how you can improve upon that experience. This article will answer the fundamental questions about...

The 'rug has been pulled out': Campaigns flop amid Facebook, Google ad bans - POLITICO

Image
"This is an industry that built itself around Facebook and Google, and that rug has been pulled out from underneath them," said Tim Cameron, a Republican digital strategist. "I wouldn't be surprised to see layoffs on the digital side of the industry, as well as shifting to doing different types of work, like digital firms adding more mail or other traditional media to what they do." The lingering pause on ads comes at a particularly painful moment for campaigns and party committees. Normally, they would be tapping into the rage or joy of small-dollar donors, activated in both parties by the new Biden administration, the second impeachment proceedings against former President Donald Trump, the Jan. 6 insurrection and the Republican votes against certifying the Electoral College results. "Right now, if you're a campaign, you're really, really worried about how you're going to raise money online at the same rate you were able to do it when you ...

Making The Best Of The Messy World Of Marketing Campaign Measurement - Forbes

Image
getty Marketers preparing for a digital world without cookies are confronting many of the same challenges today they faced a few years ago. These challenges include black holes in measurement, data inconveniently lodged in silos, incomplete views of cross platform campaign performance and a sense that the depth of performance insights falls short of what it should be. I recently asked Jane Ostler, global head of media effectiveness at Kantar, for her perspective on marketing campaign performance issues. Paul Talbot:  What gets in the way of marketers who want a full view of campaigns? Jane Ostler:  It's simple to get a partial or siloed view of campaigns, but we know that advertisers don't really want that.  It is certainly possible to get a full view of campaigns but it's not simple. By a large margin, advertisers far prefer trusted third party research, rather than data directly from publishers, which only gives a view of that publisher, not a comparative ...

COVID-19 vaccine advertising campaign to target 'specific fears' - Sydney Morning Herald

Image
University of Sydney vaccine hesitancy expert Julie Leask said targeted messaging was vital, especially for demographics that might be susceptible to anti-vaccination messaging from "influencers" on social media platforms such as Facebook and Instagram. The government intends to start vaccinating people from mid to late February, pending Therapeutic Goods Administration approvals, and is aiming to have at least half the population covered by the middle of the year. Health Minister Greg Hunt Credit: Alex Ellinghausen Federal Health Minister Greg Hunt said the $24 million campaign would use social and traditional media to make sure Australians felt confidence in the vaccine. He understood women who were pregnant, trying to conceive or who had young families were likely to have many questions about the vaccines and said the government would target this cohort. "The Department of Health invests in understanding community concerns, and is developing information an...

Walmart links with The Trade Desk in extensive overhaul to ad business - Marketing Dive

Image
Dive Brief: Walmart rebranded its media network from Walmart Media Group to Walmart Connect, part of a larger overhaul the retailer is enacting as it looks to scale the offering into a top-10 advertising platform, according to a company announcement. Walmart Connect will focus on three areas: leveraging owned properties like Walmart.com, Walmart+ and the Walmart app to create holistic campaigns for advertisers; building out in-store experiences through assets like TV walls and self-checkout screens; and applying first-party data to improve media performance for sellers operating outside of Walmart's proprietary sites. On the last point, Walmart has partnered with ad-tech firm The Trade Desk to create a new demand-side platform (DSP) that is aiming to launch in time for the 2021 holiday season.
