What you should know about marketing of today!

By: Brian Janket (www.bjanket.com)

 

We have all seen the advertisements and marketing campaigns featuring companies acting in coordination with environmental friendly policies and using the economy as a means of advertising. “Going Green” is a common campaign that companies use as a means to entice customers to gain a positive perspective of the company and, essentially, purchase the product or service from them.  Companies, especially in the economy state that the world is in, must act appropriately to fulfill the needs of every possible customer. They do this by promoting their efforts and contributions back to society.

                With the economy in the state that it is, a variety of companies are using the economy as a way to gain customers.  Companies around the United States are promoting that people spend their stimulus money at their companies by advertising that they can use their stimulus package as a way to purchase products. The goal of the stimulus package is to stimulate the economy, but local companies must benefit from it as well. Corporations are based around the United States and if local companies don’t benefit, they may be run out of business by corporations. This means that less tax money is going to the state and less revenue is available for them to spend locally.

                Destiny USA is a prime example of a major corporation that will limit the potential growth of local companies around Syracuse, New York. It is true that they are purchasing products locally, but the extent that they are purchasing products compared to the costs of having carousel mall expand into Destiny is detrimental.  Local companies will not have the business that they once had and will potentially be forced out of business due to financial limitations, such as creditors and line of credits that are cut.

                Destiny USA is responsible for advertising the green campaign to a new level. They have changed the lighting, fuel that they currently use for building, built a rain system where rain water is collected and reused for toilets, and a variety of other things that is truly contributing to the sustainability of the region. One of the thing is doesn’t neglect to do is advertise their efforts. They painted every wall green; have huge signs advertising the green campaign, and a variety of other marketing methods that have made their messaged clear to every customer that walks in carousel.

                It is appropriate to use institutional methods, or a feel-good marketing approach, towards your product or service. You should look at your current campaign and try to look at different avenues by which you can approach the customer. What really counts is the perspective of the customer/client and how they feel about your company name. When you walk into Walmart, what is it that you think? When you walk into Target, what is it that you think? Do you see the signs that Target posts around the store about their efforts to maintain job stability within the community and the money contributions they have? All of this is vital to marketing because they are extending their efforts to the community to make them “fit in.” It is a part of corporate social responsibility.

We all have had fond memories when we were younger. It is in that moment that we love being a teenager or a young adult, and want to hold onto that moment(s). Growing up can be difficult for anyone, especially going to college and being completely independent. The economic state of our society doesn’t help the situation but rather create a barrier that restricts the success of individuals to find jobs, use credit, and maintain a stable position. It is in this moment that college students are bound to act. The options are available to some students but what about those students who’m are neglected and limited based on the poverty line?

                The first step to attending college is filling out the FAFSA form. This is the way you will be able to determine how much financial aid you will receive based on a variety of factors, the most prevalent being income and grants. The reason the government does this is to sustain the educational process and allow students that deserve to attend college the option of doing so, through financial aid and government support. The website is https://fafsa.ed.gov

                Finding a niche that suits your interest(s) is essential to maintaining a sustainable income. I have worked in marketing for over four years and have found a way to bring in revenue flow through using internet marketing and working for smaller companies around the same area that I live in. If you are a confident person and you like sales, consider selling things around your house or starting a small business. The incentive for starting a business and the benefits far outweigh the costs, especially with the government incentives for starting a business.

                We communicate everyday with people around us but it is when we network outside our norm that we truly find innovation and people with unique ideas that can bring success to you. Networking is a key element of business and maintaining a gateway by which you can enter markets and learn from others. You may not know it but everyone you meet and talk to provides you with some opportunity to learn. Listen and learn from those around you because you only live once. You might as well obtain as much knowledge as possible and try to prosper from that person/knowledge obtained.

                Be different. It is ok to go out of your norm and try new things. There are around 6 billion people in the world and a large number of people that are looking to do the same thing you are. Take the initiative and be different from someone else. Someone will always be better than you at something but making your presence known and trying to stand out will be far better.
