No one can deny that a first impression can make a big difference. As highly visual creatures, people judge things based upon what is presented to them. When considering sending a swag box to your customers, don’t underestimate the potential to strategically use the box to shape the recipient's perception of your brand. Packaging is a golden opportunity that can’t be neglected if you want to impress your audience, which is especially important when your organization is solely based online and doesn’t have many touchpoints that can influence the customer’s buying journey.

Writing a report has never been easy, whether it is for school, university projects, or your boss at work. It could be time consuming to complete a report but with the right skills and knowledge, writing a marketing report doesn’t need to take a lot of effort. Here is how I do a marketing report for the employer at our organization.

“Advertising is the same thing as marketing” most of us at some point have either heard this statement from someone else or have even said it ourselves. I know for a fact that I had at one point when I was in my marketing class in high school, and we started a lesson on advertising, and I had wondered that in my head throughout the lesson. That question sparked a fascination in my head and even followed me to college, where I decided to study both of the subjects. I love both topics very much, they have given me insight different aspects of the field that I would not know about if I had chosen to focus on just one, and its that experience that I believe gives me the credentials to attempt to explain not only the differences in the topics but also how they complement each other.

Marketers, by nature, are "people people'. Not saying that every single one is an extrovert who pitches ideas like a used car salesman, instead, they are continually working towards finding what the best way to convey value onto the desired market is. If marketers are to effectively construct a strategy, campaign, or any other type of related activity, they first need an understanding of who their audience is. There are many ways, especially in today's age of technological advancement, that people can get these insights without really knowing too much about the thought process of the brain itself. Sure, it is smart to make marketing decisions based upon quantifiable reasons, but they are also other substantial factors that can and in my opinion, should be taken into consideration during this process. Furthermore, along with those technological advances, there have been advances in the medical field as well that play a massive part in the decision making of marketing plans.

“Sometimes, you just have to start all over differently.” - Bernard Kelvin Clive

We’re halfway into the first month of the beginning of the new year. And of course, the internet is flooded with lists of trends and predictions for everything, including marketing. The rise of artificial intelligence, micro-influencers, and smart speaker voice commerce seem to be the common forecast amongst industry professionals.

I'm binge watching The Good Wife. I feel almost guilty to say this out loud, but I am and for years I have avoided it because the name of the show and the images they used to sell it didn’t pique my interest.

Every top-notch marketer knows that as good as they may be, will never know it all. It is impossible. Marketing is changing every day. Reading the sentiment of target markets change rapidly. What is good today, may not be good tomorrow and so on.

Here is a list of things that brilliant marketers do that really make them stand out from the rest.

New York, New York... if only you didn't excite me so much! After 20 years or so traveling to New York often throughout the year, I am without a doubt the most excited person that has ever landed. I feel like a child in a candy store, except the store is seriously large and even if I stayed there a lifetime, I would never get to experience everything it has to offer.

As an avid technology enthusiast, I am always looking up new and exciting technologies that may be instrumental in our clients future marketing campaigns.

One such technology asked for Marketing Eye's competitors, and did an analysis on where they sit from a digital perspective compared to Marketing Eye Atlanta. It was fascinating. Our company is a mere 4 years old in the US, and in year one, we realized that we outperformed all our competitors on Google listings/rankings and all areas of social media. It was something we were very proud of, as we don't spend all day pushing this medium, but a bit over 30 minutes in total including writing this blog.
