Personal Website Marketing

Well, we’ve nearly made it! For years I’ve been looking to the future, predicting how innovations in digital media, platforms and technology will shape marketing in 2020. The cutting edge examples certainly show the exciting opportunities available – there is almost too much choice…

In this article, I’ll explore six key marketing trends based on examples and research on the adoption of the latest marketing techniques and technology marketers can use. For recommendations on tapping into the innovations in different digital marketing channels, including email, social media and search engine marketing, see all the other posts from the Smart Insights team covering Digital marketing trends for 2020.

Now we’re nearly at 2020, we can see the huge impact that digital marketing has had. Looking at advertising alone, these eMarketer predictions show how the duopoly of Facebook and Google dominate paid media investments online, although offline media buys remain important for many larger brands.alfred

Trend 1. Lifecycle marketing
Although it’s often said that the ‘funnel is dead’ since consumer follows non-linear journeys, regardless of the product or service you’re involved with marketing, it will always be the case that to grow a business, your primary focus is growing awareness, closely followed by increasing customer leads and prospects.

This focus is shown by the latest Altimeter / Prophet State of Digital Marketing report, which shows a primary focus on increasing awareness.

The role of digital in creating a unified customer experience is also high in the response, but it’s shocking that digital marketing isn’t seen as a driver of boosting revenue from existing customers. It’s an artefact of the question since digital marketing is effective in achieving all of these goals, including customer retention.

A more practical way to plan to integrate online marketing into marketing activities is to consider communications from a customer point-of-view through the customer journey. I call this always-on lifecycle marketing and recommend you review your use of online AND offline media across the customer lifecycle.

An example of an audit is shown by this example of the use of marketing activities by a B2B company, which although strong at the top-of-funnel in terms of activities used, is less strong in the middle and bottom-of-funnel nurture and re-targeting activities. Many businesses are adopting marketing automation and account-based marketing technology to implement these touchpoints. See the article linked to above for all of the potential activities that can be audited.

Trend 2. Conversational marketing
For me, this is the most exciting trend in marketing today, bringing together rapid consumer adoption of smart speakers and innovation in search query processing, conversational interfaces and messaging.

Conversational marketing was highlighted as a key innovation in the latest Gartner hype cycle alongside Artificial Intelligence, which often fuels it. You can see that of the technologies on the Innovation Trigger slope, many aren’t expected to become mainstream for 5 to 10 years. Of those forecast to hit the mainstream within the next 2 to 5 years, the three most significant for marketers to consider are personification, real-time and conversational marketing.

When my great uncle passed, he was given one of the monuments in Morris County NJ by his family. He specifically wanted one and even requested it in his will. He mentioned that the family could add to it whatever they wanted. It’s a good thing that he was good to the family, because if he wasn’t, they could have added just about anything. They had a beautiful message to go along with it. I’ve never really thought about what I want when I pass, but I guess if I had to make a choice, a monument sounds pretty nice.

I’m not even at the age where I would expect to have a monument, but I suppose I’ll get there eventually. Those kinds of thoughts are something that I like to avoid, because I don’t want to make anything happen sooner than it should. I’m a little bit superstitious in that way. Nothing will probably happen to me when I think about those topics, but I don’t want to take any chances. Continue reading…

Bitcoin has been rising in popularity among both investors and enthusiasts. With so many cryptocurrencies to choose from, people often wonder whether or not they should trade Bitcoin.

So, if you are aspiring to trade bitcoin, you may want to know the pros and cons of trading cryptocurrencies including bitcoin. It’s always beneficial to do research before pursuing anything that involves money.

PROS

Bitcoin allows people to transact with each other without worrying about limitations such as country borders. Since Bitcoin exists digitally, it can be sent anywhere in the world, even on bank holidays.

Unlike traditional banking, Bitcoin is decentralized, meaning there’s no central authority that controls its transactions. This puts the sender and recipient in control of the money. With its blockchain technology, one of Bitcoin’s distinct advantages is that all final transactions become visible to the public in one ledger. Your personal information remains hidden from public view, which preserves anonymity.

Another advantage of trading in Bitcoin is the low fees. Unlike wire transfers and other methods of transferring money, fees are very negligible when trading in Bitcoin. You can also always pay higher fees to prioritize transactions and speed them up.

CONS

Bitcoin’s value fluctuates wildly as a result of its limited supply. Many view this as one of its biggest issues. Without stability, it’s hard to use it as a stable currency. However, many view this as an advantage and treat it like an investment instead.

Another con is how underdeveloped Bitcoin is. Tools, features and services are still undergoing development right now. It has great potential to become stabilized to the point of mass adoption, but until that point, the value will continue to fluctuate wildly.

IMMERSE OR DABBLE?

Given these potential benefits and disadvantages, the choice is yours on whether you should buy a lot, or just dabble in trading. If you fear the volatility, then just buy a little bit. If you are an early adopter of new technologies and can afford trading losses, then this same volatility means the rewards are amplified, so buying a lot may be for you.

My husband bought me a front door for my birthday. That might sound pretty odd, but it was the perfect gift. I had my eye on a fancy red door with etched glass for nearly a year, and he finally surprised me with it. The only problem was that the keys that came with it did not fit the lock. The company said we could return the door for a new one, but it was already up. Instead, we just contacted a Brisbane locksmith for new keys. We knew that it would not cost that much since it was just to get new keys, and it would be a lot easier to do it this way instead of having my husband take the door down and starting over.
