Few would argue about the impact of social media. The voice of the customer has never been so powerful, so connected, nor so frequently measured before. Customers are obviously engaged in conversations with brands. Customers choose to affiliate themselves with brands and businesses they “Like” while others consume the content (i.e., reviews, videos, etc.) produced by their fellow customers before and after they make purchase decisions. Social media has tremendous impact on brand perception. One trend concerns me. So many…

Yesterday, Google announced that all advertisers now have access to product ads. This presents a great opportunity for advertisers. The user tests I have been involved in recently show that searchers eyes are certainly drawn to those ads before they are drawn to the standard blue links.

However, while many companies worry about keeping ahead of their competition, they actually have a much bigger issue – keeping pace with their customers. Indulge me while I explore the changes we’ll see over the next five years. A Marketer’s Job Is Already Hard Enough Jeffrey, my partner and brother, and I…

This cartoon from The Oatmeal blog really summarizes people’s behavior about buying expensive mobile devices but balking at paying $0.99 for an application. Human beings involved in a marketplace are both unpredictably predictable and predictably irrational, which leaves plenty of room for intelligent optimization efforts. Yet much of the research about applications shows people love adding applications to their devices and following the common trend in software they are gravitating toward free. Another evolving trend is that the nature of…

I read the news and it makes me sad for businesses today. It’s no news that we are in the midst of one of the worst economic crises ever, while working our way through one of the greatest periods of change ever. These two things are not unrelated.
