 Worst Marketing Mistakes that you should avoid

The fast evolving and new trends of digital marketing make it difficult to keep the right pace. To catch and adopt the latest change, most of the business owners tangled into the mistakes that take the brands down. It is good to keep eyes on the future trends but it is wiser to learn from the past mistakes and then devise a new marketing strategy for your business.
A well-planned marketing strategy does not give you instant results but it is related to the long-term benefits that allow the businesses to stay not at the top always but at least at the dominant position. Repeated mistakes will cost you by money, time and resources so it is better to save them and use on tested and proven marketing approaches.

No clear objectives:

A marketing plan that accomplishes the success has clearly defined goals and purposes. The major objective of each business is to increase the return on investment and revenues. But that does not mean to ignore the essential details of a business. Setting goals are the first line of considering, executing and monitoring the tailored strategy that helps you to move in the right direction.

Fail to identify your real audience:

Whether it is social media, email marketing or online advertisements, you need to be focused on the target audience. No matter how carefully you develop a plan and the money you spent but if you are targeting the wrong audience, all your efforts will go in vain. Gather the details of your audience, their interests, demographics and tracking information to know about them. What do they need? Which keywords do they use for searching? What attracts them?
Understanding these points will help you to plan a results-driven strategy.

Adopt the trendy strategy without understanding your needs:

Prior to implementing any marketing strategy, you should have a candid understanding of your business requirements in mind. The most common mistakes brands do is to go for the latest trend or technology that hit the marketing realm without knowing whether they need it or not. Maybe the latest trend conflicts with your current successful marketing approach or do not work for you as compared to others so always,
‘Think before you execute’.

Not measuring the results:

Analytics and the measuring of the results are the necessity to the execution of an optimized plan. Imagine the whole picture and assess which tactics are working and which ones are restraining the progression. Check the sources and leads that are driving qualified traffic, click rates and identify the new platforms for marketing.
Continuous monitoring and analysis enable you to go for the most tailored approaches and explore new opportunities.


An insightful marketing plan can make your advertising campaigns successful and give significant benefits in the future.

Is “fake news” a blessing in disguise?

You may have seen a headline on the Guardian’s website recently that read:  “Just one in four Britons trust news on social media” . While this is a shocking percentage, it’s not entirely surprising. Social media, if used correctly and responsibly, can be a fantastic way of getting your message across. It not only helps spread news globally at a rapid pace, it also brings more awareness to tragedies and helps people speak out about injustices. Also, consumers on social media tend to trust each other, not big brands.   However, fake news - propaganda that consists of deliberate misinformation or hoaxes spread via traditional print and broadcast news media or online social media (as defined by Wikipedia) - is a big problem. Facebook, Google, and Twitter will probably flush out false political ads over time, but they will never be able to stop fake news. Misinformation is flooding social media at an alarming rate and, because of this, the tides appear to be turn...
