Every four years the country goes through a frantic period where candidates vie for the presidency. The political marketing and spin machines go into high speed. Previously little known brands (candidates) are thrust to the forefront, but only one will get the prize. We hope the best is elected, but we know a lot has to do with the marketing of the candidate. That is nothing new. It has happened for centuries.
What is new this time, is the fact that both Democrats and Republicans are using social network marketing as a part of their overall marketing strategies.

The new iPhone is a great product and I have waited until now to buy an iPhone with some features I wanted. Thankfully, I am not the type to stand in line for 5 hours to buy anything, so I didn’t.

I simply cannot understand why more companies are not taking advantage of MySpace! If you sell a consumer product or service and even some business-to-business goods, you should be working MySpace for customers.

Should I Be On MySpace? Are You Kidding? |
|
|

Why would you not want to take advantage of this opportunity? Two excuses I hear most are that managers have no time to spend on MySpace. Or they don't understand how to take advantage of social networks for marketing. That is no excuse because you can hire professionals that do know. After all, what do you know about running a magazine or newspaper, but you still place ads.

Do You Know Where Your Digital Footprints Are? |
|
|

It just amazes me that so few business-to-business companies are not paying attention to the social network phenomena and creating more digital footprints on the web. As general advertising effectiveness decreases, the importance of creating a powerful web presence is escalating.
