The True ROI of Social Media

Bryan Eisenberg

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. [youtube width=”300″ height=”233″]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIFYPQjYhv8[/youtube] One trend concerns…

A Quick & Cheap Way To Fix Blind Spots in Your PPC Efforts

Bryan Eisenberg

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. This is just one more recent change Google has made to their search results page (SERPS) and understanding these changes have a true impact on how you market on the search engines. When…

When Will You Be Spending FaceBook Credits?

Bryan Eisenberg

When my brother Jeffrey and I wrote “Waiting for Your Cat to Bark?” we explained how in the evolution of sales and marketing history, the trend towards the reduction of friction for the customer is impacted by three factors: transportation, communications, and payment technologies. In my last column, while describing the Future Shopper, I illustrated one of the trends; how communication technology will affect the way that people buy. The other two facets of change are concurrent evolutions in transportation systems…

Bryan Eisenberg

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…

Digital Sales in a Mobile App World

Bryan Eisenberg

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…

Is Your Corporate Metabolism Killing You?

Bryan Eisenberg

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. We are undergoing a revolution in commerce, logistics, and communications as disruptive as the Industrial Revolution. Some gurus will self-assuredly tell you it is the “social media revolution.” That’s just one strong…

Google, User Experience & Thinking Beyond Conversion

Jeffrey Eisenberg

Google is a money making machine; that is why it has tremendous influence in the online ecology. Google has a lot to teach the world about relevance, credibility, value & user experience. However, Google isn’t a training company; it derives more than 90% of its revenues from advertising. It’s fascinating that Google makes most of its money from advertisers (sellers) but is forced, like every media company, to think primarily about the experience of its audience (buyers). When buyers “buy…
