Twitter Leads to Double the Leads and Other Social Media Facts [Infographic]

posted on June 3, 2013

Even though it’s hard to prove, most marketers are sure that social media is worth the time, so it’s nice to see some statistical data saying that it is so. Today, that comes from an infographic by Cox Business. They gathered the data from a variety of sources, so this is kind of third hand, but there are a few points I’d like to discuss, beginning with. . .

I’m a Twitter fan and I think it’s good for business. I admit that the speed of the feed and the noise level can be a problem but good things manage to get through all the time. Of all of the social media channels, Twitter is the one I use most for discovery. I’ve found new bloggers to follow and I’ve hooked up with app developers and other marketers — it’s a good channel for me.

Infographic Shows People Are Two-Timing on Their TV Sets

posted on May 24, 2013

Memorial Day means the start of the summer blockbuster movie season. This weekend, we’ll all be getting Fast and Furious again along with another Hangover. Next month, Superman returns to the big screen and in July the Lone Ranger rides again. But if you prefer not to fight the crowds, you can also stay home and watch some of the best movies (or the worst if that’s your thing) on your PC or mobile device.

In honor of this holiday weekend, here’s a look at how men and women stream from M-Go.

What a terrible blow for TV sets all over America. They probably have no idea how often their man is cheating on them! He’s running around with that hot, stylish mobile phone while his first love sits in the living room, cold and alone just waiting to be turned on.

Content Marketing is a Hit! [Infographic]

posted on May 16, 2013

history of contentFrom the way we talk about content marketing, you’d think it was a new thing invented for use on the internet. But content marketing goes way back. I mean, waaaay, back. Look at this example from the History of Content Marketing Infographic.

More recent examples include a safe driving book from Michelin Tires which was published in 1900 and the free 1904 Jell-O recipe booklet which led to millions in sales for the product.

It’s an intuitive leap – if you help your customer do something better, faster or safer, they’ll think kindly of you and consider buying your product.

According to a new infographic from Demand Metric, 60% of people have been inspired to seek out a product after reading about it.

Shoppers Who Use Mobile In-Store, Spend More [Infographic]

posted on May 10, 2013

Consumers like to use their smartphones when shopping to find more information or get a better deal. That’s not new news. I know. But every time I see a new study and / or infographic it gets me thinking and that gets me writing. Here’s what started the fire today — a new post from Google’s Think Insights.

Here’s the top half of the infographic.

google buy more

79% of smartphone owners are ‘smartphone shoppers.’ Got that. 84% use their phone while they’re shopping in-store. Got that. Now, take a look at the categories. Nearly every smartphone shopper uses their phone when shopping for appliances. Brick and mortar owners complain about showrooming, but in this case, I say it’s their own fault.

LinkedIn Celebrates 10 Years of Bringing Business People Together [Infographic]

posted on May 7, 2013

membership on Linked inLinkedIn is celebrating its 10th Anniversary this week, so I thought I’d join the party and give you my thoughts on what their success means to you, the marketer.

To begin with, if you’re ever feeling discouraged about your company’s growth, spend a few minutes flipping through “A Brief History of LinkedIn” on Slideshare. The creator was kind enough to share snapshots of start-up meeting notes, original site designs and early comments from the first users.

This is blurry, but I think it’s worth noting, so bear with. . .

Right off the bat, users found some pretty big flaws in the site design and concept.

Shoppers Still Lean Toward Flowers for Mother’s Day [Infographic]

posted on May 2, 2013

Mother’s Day accounts for one-fourth of the floral purchases made for holidays. According to the Society of American Florists, more than a third (38%) of adults (43% of men; 34% of women) bought flowers or plants as gifts for Mother’s Day 2012. PriceGrabber says this trend will hold true as 40% of consumers plan to buy flowers to honor mom.

Must be scary for florists, knowing that so much of your income depends on such a short window.

PriceGrabber put together this lovely infographic to show us how Mother’s Day is likely to go in 2013:

Most consumers are looking to spend under $100 on mom and I’ll try not to take that as a measure of worth.

Everywhere TV Means More Opportunities for Advertisers

posted on April 26, 2013

tv everywhere

Last night I watched TV. I watched the Project Runway season finale live on my television. I watched The Rachel Zoe Project which I had previously recorded on my DVR. Later, I watched an old episode of a TV show on my computer through YouTube and I rounded out the night rewatching last week’s Vegas episode on my iPad using the CBS app.

That’s what they call Everywhere TV or UbiquiTV (ubiquity; presence everywhere or in many places especially simultaneously.)

The lines between TV and digital content are getting blurred. You can now watch original “TV” programs on Netflix in addition to reruns of old favorites. Even Amazon recently got into the “TV” production biz with their new pilot program.
