Apelidado de "Cool Biz" pelo Ministério do Ambiente, este programa já obteve um impacto real nas vendas de "casual wear" para homens, que aumentaram 4,8% desde Julho segundo relata o Wall Street Journal, no artigo "Japan's Cool Biz Push Aids Retailers".Buy the book Measuring Word of Mouth, it’s worth every penny of the $65, and could turn out to be a life saver if you make your living in sales or marketing.
How, exactly does one start a word of mouth marketing program?
That is a question I’ve been asked a lot over the past few months in my day job role as a sales and marketing consultant to the technology
industry. By now everyone is familiar with the books on the market that both inspire you to do it, and bury you alive under the nuances and complexities involved.
The choice seems to be do I go for influencer relations and hope my PR firm understands the process, or do I call in my ad agency and ask them to get creative and launch a viral marketing campaign. Actually, the answer is neither!
Because you need to do both! Because influencer relations and viral marketing are simply two major components of the same thing …word of
mouth marketing…but with major differences. Influencer relations can be very slow to bear fruit. And viral marketing can act like a flash in the pan (assuming you’re clever enough to make it work). This is why I focused last month’s blog on Accelerated Contagion.
Once you’ve fanned the flames with either an influencer or a viral program you need to maintain the heat. That’s where Accelerated Contagion comes in. For those interested in learning more about Accelerated Contagion watch this space next month when I hope to have a new site on the topic posted at www.keithbates.biz . BUT DON’T GO THERE YET! There’s just a 10 year old, archaic corporate site resting in the space which I’ve been too lazy to take down. Also, before posting the new site I’m toying with the idea (it’s actually in work) of producing my own viral campaign promoting the concept...which I
will send to my weblog readers before the real world sees it. As for getting started I would encourage you to heed the words of Mark Hughes in his recently published BUZZMARKETING. Mark Hughes is the CEO of the consulting firm Buzzmarketing and can be visited at www.buzzmarketing.com. The book is fascinating reading. I couldn’t put it down. If you have even a remote interest in word of mouth marketing you should buy it. The paragraph that Mark wrote that I think neatly sums up the buzz situation: “People tell others because you’ve given them something to talk about. That’s the essence, the key. If you haven’t given people something clever, amusing, catchy, remarkable … if you haven’t given them something they’ll enjoy sharing with others to entertain, to sound smart or clever, to sound with it—forget it. You ain’t got buzz.

Dica do "blog de publicidade"




É o que a Apple oferece a partir de hoje na iTunes Music Store: o novo disco dos Stones, como um "pre-order". O sujeito encomenda o download das 16 faixas do disco (no ar em 6 de setembro pra
download... engraçado ler isso né? Não é mais "6 de setembro nas
lojas"... hehe), e ganha o download de um video (quicktime,
claaaaaro) da banda no estúdio. Agora, encomendar download me parece uma tática do século XX, hein Steve?
