  • The future ROI of offline advertising

    I read with great interest that Google has filed a patent for Pay Per Gaze advertising, leveraging the power of the upcoming wearable computing/wearable tech trend. Whether or not they choose to use it, I think the concept has the potential to help answer one of the most long-standing questions in marketing analytics: the power of offline.

    Here’s why. Eye-tracking studies are notoriously expensive and scale very poorly. They require tightly controlled conditions, cumbersome equipment, and may have measurement issues (it’s harder to behave naturally in a test environment). As a result, we don’t have the same body of research about overall offline brand impact that we do for online, where we can measure things like where someone’s mouse moved on screen.

    That will change as wearable computing technologies with eye tracking built into them become more prevalent. Data collected from eye-tracking information transmitted by wearable computing after a user has become accustomed to their wearable devices may give a much more usable result than trying to do an eye-tracking study outdoors and moving around today, or surveying and relying on people’s (flawed) memories of what they saw.

    What will this answer?

    A view out my office window

    You know all of those offline brand impressions? Billboards. Logos. T-shirts. Spotlights at car dealerships at night. Blimps. Magazine ads. Newspaper quarter page ads. Brands on baseball fields. Even non-visual interruption marketing like loud noises that make you turn to look for them. All of these are offline attempts at catching your attention. How many of them work? How many of them deliver any kind of real brand impression at all?

    Now we’ll know. It may not be Google Glass, but it will be some kind of wearable computing that can transmit that data back to marketers and advertisers as to what really works. Believe it or not, this could be a good thing for society at large. After all, if advertisers suddenly find out that plastering their logo all over everything goes completely unnoticed and unheeded (as we believe it does anecdotally), the data will suggest they find more effective ways of advertising instead of visual pollution, unless the data shows that visual pollution is actually effective.

    This is the future ROI of offline advertising, and it will happen as part of the wearable computing trend.

  • Inbound and outbound marketing: you need both at the right time

    Unknown-3

    Here’s the dirty secret of inbound and outbound marketing: they complement each other. They’re both important. They each play a vital role in getting a product, a brand, or a company off the ground, and there’s a time and a place for both strategies in your marketing plan.

    Here’s the promise of outbound: WIN AT YELLING. Buy ads, send press releases, reach out to reporters, fax till you drop, retweet influencers, blast email… you know the drill. Hit every medium as hard as possible, get as much attention as possible, and you’ll win.

    Here’s the promise of inbound: Build it and they will come. Make great content. Make superb content. Make INSANELY GREAT CONTENT (as often as humanly possible). Be awesome. Be generous. Overshare everything. Be a good person. Be human. Be helpful. Do all the right things, play nicely, and the world will beat a path to your doorstep.

    Both are lies in their pure form, in that they claim nearly-exclusive paths to victory in their promises. Neither will get you to the finish line alone. More important, there’s a timing to both to make them effective. Consider what you know about how you find out about things, about how you buy things. Something has to interrupt you. It might be that wonderful, golden promise of a friend or colleague telling you about something via word of mouth, but that’s still an interruption to the status quo. It could be an ad. It could be an email. It could be any kind of attention-getter at all – but it has to be something that captures your attention.

    From there, once you are aware of the stimulus, you go into research mode, into Google’s Zero Moment of Truth. You research, you ask, you learn, and then you buy, the First Moment of Truth. If the brand’s promise is kept, then you develop and mature the relationship and it becomes truly about the relationship between you and the brand, the Second Moment of Truth. That’s outbound and inbound working together, in the right order.

    Fire in the fireplace

    Think about it like lighting a campfire. Outbound is your tinder, your firestarter, some lighter fluid. Lots of flash, lots of heat, but it goes quickly. Inbound is your kindling, your logs, your fuel. If you rely only on outbound, you will have warmth and light for a very short time and then you’ll be the dark for a long while. If you rely only on inbound, you’ll have a beautiful pile of unburnt wood come morning. If you do it in the wrong order, you’ll be putting matches to foot-wide logs and be out of matches and frustrated why, even though you have all the right tools, you are cold and it is dark.

    Put them together in the right order, and you’ll have warmth, light, and maybe a nice meal. That’s the real promise of both inbound and outbound: use them both intelligently and at the right time, and you’ll be successful.

  • Back to School Advice for Marketing Students: Forget About Personal Brand

    IMG_3620

    As the school year ramps up, as students of business schools, colleges, and universities return to class and start soaking in the knowledge about the profession of marketing again, you’re going to hear an awful lot about personal brand. To the students out there, I’ll offer this advice: for the most part, ignore it.

    Now, I don’t mean ignore common sense. For example, live moderately, party moderately, don’t do blatantly stupid things that will tarnish your name (because Google and our friends at the NSA remember all). That’s kind of a given, I would hope.

    No, what I mean for you to ignore is the advice of personal branding gurus who will be asking you to mold yourself into a narcissistic perversion of who you really are, focused only on what other people will think of you when they Google you in the months and years to come. The perfect resume, the perfect social media profile, the blog with a few posts of corporate drivel designed to give the impression that you know more than you do – all of that is what I mean by ignoring your personal brand.

    Fine, you might say, I can ignore pretending to be someone I’m not. But you may ask, won’t that put me at a disadvantage when it comes to job hunting time if some of my peers are pimping their professional rides?

    The answer is simple (but not easy): it depends on who you serve.

    When you serve yourself, the only person in the world who cares about you is you. This is the destructive trap that awaits those who obsess about their personal brands, and it’s not something that the personal branding industry is ever keen to admit.

    When you do work that serves others in some capacity, when you do something that impacts other people’s lives positively, they will care about you. They will value you. They will build your personal brand for you, because others vouching for you counts hundreds of times more than you vouching for yourself.

    Instead of tuning and perfecting a “brand”, go and do something effective. Build something worthwhile. Create something that impacts the lives of a few people. Develop an app that serves a useful purpose. Volunteer somewhere and create real change. Help someone else achieve their goals in some way. Teach someone something they didn’t know.

    If you’re still worried about your personal brand, then make a bigger impact. Focus on scaling up the good you do and the people you serve until your community, your potential employers, your personal world can no longer ignore you for any reason. The more people you lift up, the more shoulders that will be offered for you to stand on and be noticed.

  • Why correlation vs. causation matters

    Newton's Cradle

    One of the constant refrains you’ll hear from analytics and metrics experts like Tom Webster and many other sensible digital marketers is that correlation is not causation, and you shouldn’t confuse the two. It’s Statistics 101, after all. However, we don’t often talk about why this matters and why it’s bad.

    Fundamentally, the reason why confusing correlation with causation is bad is this very basic idea: everything in life is cause and effect. You do something, and there’s a whole chain of effects from what you did. Eat a doughnut, and a thousand different things happen in your body as saliva flows, stomach acid churns, sugar and starch molecules are converted and enter your bloodstream, you feel the sugar rush, and if you don’t use up those molecules of energy, your body stores them in fat cells.

    Likewise, in marketing, everything is also cause and effect. Put up an ad online, people see it, some click on it, and some portion of those people buy it. Send an email, some people see it, some people open it, some people click on things, some people go back to your website and buy it.

    The problem with correlation and causation is one of order. Correlation looks the same regardless of the order of the processes. The number of ads posted mirrors the number of clicks on the ad. The energy gained from the doughnut mirrors the calories in it.

    No one with any common sense, however, would argue that you should measure your blood sugar level changes to judge the impact of the doughnut by measuring before you eat the doughnut and not measure afterward. No one with any mathematical sense would argue that your ad click through rates are independent of whether or not you post the ad. Order matters. You need to eat the doughnut in order to cause the blood sugar change. You need to post the ad in order for people to click on it.

    When we confuse correlation with causation, we are effectively saying that order doesn’t matter, when in reality order matters a great deal. Why? Because if we want things to get better, if we want to make changes, we need to know what to change. We need to know the order so that we are fixing the cause and not the effect. If we do things in the wrong order, the cause will continue to create effects, and our efforts will have no impact – or could even make things worse.

    For example, if you’re looking at the correlation of content marketing to lead generation in your web analytics and you believe that lead generation is the problem, you’ll probably go and attempt to fix it. You might buy a bunch of ads, or send a bunch of emails, but if the cause of your marketing problem is crappy content, then buying all those ads will just waste your time and money. You have to fix the cause – crappy content – and doing so will create a cascading effect that seems to repair a whole host of problems.

    That’s why correlation and causation are so important to get right. Get it right and you’ll fix your problems. Get it wrong and your problems will get worse even as you throw more time and resources at them that could be used for other problems.

  • The guaranteed pure gold long-term marketing strategy

    Gold Bar and Investment Jewelry

    Much ado has been made of how quickly Google is evolving its Panda and Penguin SEO algorithms, discrediting once-viable online marketing strategies that were effective in the short term. Companies are wringing their hands at the prospect of being heavily penalized for things their marketing and SEO consultants once said were pure gold.

    Here’s the funny thing about actual pure gold: it’s mostly unchanging. Gold’s value changes relative to the currencies it’s benchmarked against, but the gold itself doesn’t change. A brick of pure gold is elementally mostly inert. Gold doesn’t react to much (which is part of its value) such as oxygen, air, water, or other corrosives. Gold doesn’t change mass or volume, doesn’t expand or contract much, and isn’t easily consumed. A pure gold ingot from 10,000 years ago would, assuming it was kept in a dust-free environment, look the same today as it did at the moment of its creation. Even if it were kept in a not-so-friendly environment, a quick wash and a scrub and it’d look good as new.

    That’s why gold is valuable: its perception of value is based on the fact that it’s a nearly immutable element that isn’t easily forged, damaged, or replicated. It has scarcity working for it in addition to its physical properties.

    Now think about your marketing. Does it have intrinsic value? If you unearthed that marketing campaign, that marketing collateral in a year, would it still have value? What about in 5 years? As Jay Baer says, does it have “Youtility“, providing value by itself? SEO tricks (and marketing tricks in general) are the equivalent of iron pyrite, or fool’s gold. They look valuable at a glance, but once you examine it more carefully, you recognize that it’s not the real thing.

    I once wrote an eBook about scholarship search, called Scholarship Search Secrets. The last edition was 5 years ago, yet I still refer to it and give the link to people half a decade later. Most of the advice still works, and most of it’s a way of thinking that is still valid even today. That job is now 3 jobs removed from today in an industry that I haven’t worked in for years, yet it’s still valuable. That’s golden value – and it’s value that people will still link to and share (and thus fuel Google search results) for years to come.

    Go back in your archives to 2008. How much of what you were doing then is still valuable? How much of what you’re doing today will be valuable in 2018? Make that the benchmark of your marketing efforts and you’ll be beating Google for years to come.

  • In case you missed it, the Facebook algorithm

    Facebook recently detailed an algorithm change to its News Feed, aiming at resurfacing older updates that it thinks are relevant, even if they’re not as fresh. It’s based on something simple: if Facebook registered that you never saw the item and it’d be an item that you’re statistically likely to engage with, it’ll bubble the item back into your “current” news.

    In case you missed it, the Facebook algorithm 1
    Image source: Facebook

    They specified 4 signals that indicate a News Feed item is important to you:

    • How often you interact with the friend, Page, or public figure (like an actor or journalist) who posted
    • The number of likes, shares and comments a post receives from the world at large and from your friends in particular
    • How much you have interacted with this type of post in the past
    • Whether or not you and other people across Facebook are hiding or reporting a given post

    Take note of the fact that the behavior of hiding a post is specifically called out, and it’s one of the metrics that’s now included in Facebook Insights for Pages. This is critical to the success of your Facebook Page! Go into your Page Insights, switch to Post view, and choose Post Hides, Hides of All Posts, Reports of Spam, Unlikes of Page by post.

    (1) Christopher S. Penn

    If you see anything other than zeroes, you need to retune your Facebook content strategy immediately because what any one Facebook fan does impacts what their friends see. Facebook clearly stated that what one person likes impacts what their friends in particular see bubbled up in their News Feeds. A hide is likely to not only impact the user that hides but also reduce the impact of that post among all of their friends.

    This, by the way, is the answer to whether you’re posting too much on Facebook or posting the wrong kind of content. Anything that triggers a hide – cadence, content, etc. – is bad news and calls for an immediate reassessment of what you’re doing.

  • 3 powers to protect your business from marketing scammers

    Medicine bottles

    It’s astonishing to me how many snake oil salesmen there are in the digital marketing world. In just the past week, I’ve heard about:

    • An SEO firm that has spent all of its client’s budget on outdated search advice
    • A marketing firm spending all of its client’s budget on the one local search network that won’t help it
    • A PR firm principal (not Todd Defren) continuing to advocate for PR tactics that will harm its clients’ SEO on a prominent industry website

    It’s no wonder that marketers, PR professionals, advertisers, and the like are so deeply distrusted when there are people blatantly taking advantage of their clients and abusing their trust and lack of knowledge.

    How do you avoid getting taken for a very expensive ride? Here are a few suggestions.

    First, the power of Google. When someone whips out a fancy sales brochure, Google the heck out of their specialties to see if what they’re selling is worth buying. In the case of the SEO firm above, one quick search about their supposed specialty would have revealed that it’s useless. (bonus: if they flat out refuse to tell you anything about how they’re going to work their magic, run away)

    Second, the power of your social network. When a vendor is spending your money, ask them how and then ask your professional network of friends if any of them have any expertise in that area and whether the advice you’re being given is sound. In the second example above, a whole bunch of small businesses would advocate against that particular local search network.

    Third and finally, the power of morning reading. One of the simplest and easiest ways to keep up on what’s happening is to keep reading. Subscribe to the blogs that are going to impact your marketing strategies. If you’re struggling with marketing, go subscribe to a bunch of marketing blogs. If you’re struggling with PR, go subscribe to some PR blogs. If you’re struggling with advertising, go subscribe to some advertising blogs. Then invest – and it is an investment in yourself and your business – as much time as you can practically afford to read every day.

    Any time you’re considering making a significant investment, use these three capabilities to help guide your decision and ascertain whether the vendor that’s pitching you is the real deal or just another snake oil salesman.

  • Is your website mobile-friendly? Try these 3 simple tests

    Is your website mobile-friendly? That’s a trickier question than it might seem at first, especially if you’ve had a redesign done that is supposed to have made your website mobile-friendly. Here are 3 simple tests to determine whether your website is or isn’t mobile friendly using a standard web analytics package.

    First, be sure you’re able to segment out three classes of visitor: desktop, tablet, and smartphone. The way in which we use each device is different enough to matter.

    Once you know that, look at the overall summary of your website’s content. Are things like bounce rates and exit rates within range of each other?

    Pages - Google Analytics

    If one category is significantly higher than another, you may have a site that’s unfriendly to that particular category of device.

    Next, look specifically at your returning visitors. Assuming your website and content are doing their jobs, returning visitors should be slowly on the increase. Look specifically at your returning visitors for mobile, though: are they increasing proportionally? If your website isn’t mobile-friendly, returning visitors on mobile devices may be on the decline instead:

    Overview - Google Analytics

    Most important, use those same segments of audience by device to look at the money, your conversions. Here’s an example of a site with a serious mobile problem in their checkout process:

    Overview - Google Analytics

    If your checkout or conversion process isn’t mobile-friendly (even if the rest of your site is), you have some work to do to improve things.

    These three tests are by no means the be-all, end-all of mobile-friendly design, but they’re a good place to start asking questions about whether there’s a real problem or not.

  • LinkedIn Sponsored Posts: 1,819% Better CTR Performance than PPC, 73% Lower Cost

    I had a chance recently to roll out my first set of LinkedIn Sponsored Posts. The setup process was incredibly easy but more detailed than what you typically do with a Facebook Sponsored Post – you select the update you want to sponsor (you can do them in bulk), set your budget, and then set your targeting.

    What impresses about the Sponsored Posts interface? For one thing, they tell you how closely the ad audience matches your targeting, which is very useful (and makes it easy to refine your targeting for future ads):

    LinkedIn Ads: Manage Ads - Ad Details - Webinar Sponsored

    All of that is well and good, but here’s the real meat and potatoes. Look at the Clickthrough Rates:

    Microsoft Excel

    For the same time period, the click through rates (CTR) on standard pay per click ads on LinkedIn achieved a 3% CTR. The sponsored posts landed a 53% rate for the same offer, just in a sponsored post format.

    And then look at the Cost Per Click:

    Microsoft Excel

    For the same time period, the cost per click (CPC) on standard pay per click ads on LinkedIn was 18.69 per click, while the sponsored post was a mere5.01 per click, a savings of 73% for every dollar spent on advertising.

    The evidence from this trial suggests very strongly that you should give LinkedIn Sponsored Posts a try for your social media promotions and see if it performs as well for you!
