Building a brand

In today’s competitive times it becomes imperative to have a unique identity by building a brand. Brand building can sometimes take years and sometimes exclusivity of your product could win you accolades just at the startup of your company.

Branding is more than just a business buzzword. It has become the crux of selling in the new economy. Like the old saying goes," Nothing can happen until somebody sells something," the new philosophy on those lines is" Nothing can happen until somebody brands something."

In its simplest form, a brand is a noun. It is the name attached to a product or service. However, upon close inspection, a brand represents many more intangible aspects of a product or service: a collection of feelings and perceptions about quality, image, lifestyle and status. It creates in the mind of customers and prospects the perception that there is no product or service on the market that is quite like yours. In short, a brand offers the customer a guarantee and then delivers on it.

You might infer, then, that if you build a powerful brand, you will in turn be able to create a powerful marketing program. However, if you can't convince customers that your product is worthy of purchasing, no amount of advertising dollars, fancy packaging or public relations will help you achieve your sales goals. Therefore, successful branding programs begin with superior products and services, backed by excellent customer service that permeates an entire organization.

At Clear Media Inc. we believe in brand promotion. We will help pull sales in your direction. Your exclusivity will be your standing in the industry.

Search Engine Submission to Search Engine Optimzation

A blog is shortened for Web Log. It can be termed as a regular web site because a blog also gets frequently updated with new content. Popular blogs are ones which get updated on a regular basis. They contain text ranging from various topics, backgrounds and genres. There are many of us who subscribe to these blogs through RSS (Real Simple Syndication) or Atom ‘feeds’. These display the latest headlines and information, which saves navigation time. A blog is an increasingly popular medium and works also as a good e-Marketing strategy for creating and distributing Internet content.

Online Fever

Today we have a fever called the ‘online fever’. It has almost become an obsession. The click of the mouse and the constant chatter of the keyboard give immense pleasure. Even a soundless laptop produces music. But when you can have the world at your fingertips sitting comfortably at home why not make the most of it.

Today to sell a product or your service from your website, it is essential to come up with a winning strategy which would persuade visitors to become clients. This is a simple fact which cannot be ignored. You ignore and you’re doomed. Keywords for SEO are extremely imperative. Though today we also have age, gender and various other demographics contributing to website behavior. To understand user behavior and his intent of searching on a particular subject is difficult to understand. Though for successful online or e-Marketing it is essential to come to a certain conclusion about your user or your audience. Which are the most commonly visited sites? What are the most common topics? There are certain questions which could give you an approximate idea on user behavior.

When we want our website to feature amongst the top ten we don’t really bother or think about the SEO’s plight. It could be quite a daunting task figuring out which keyword should map to which page. This process could take weeks, if not months. Eventually it’s the number game. Higher the ranking better the prospects is our general view. RSS feeds today also make life so much easier. These are all marketing tactics. There is a dearth of time today, we all want information and want it fast. These RSS feeds make it simpler to extract the required information without much navigation. They are almost like in your face. Your chosen topics are updated regularly and you get fresh content.
