 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.

Another year, another set of challenges: is it make or break for the PR industry in 2018?

2017 has been a big year for the PR industry. Not only did we witness myriad crises, campaigns and the odd fall from grace, but a number of new trends also emerged. Live-stream video, for example, grew in popularity as did the use of influencers to drive engagement. 2018 looks — at least on paper — like an unprecedentedly good setup for the PR and marketing industry. But behind the scenes, the industry appears shockingly vulnerable. Micro moments Information can be accessed faster and faster with the use of smartphone applications, notifications, and social media. According to Huffington Post, 55 per cent of the time people use their smartphones, they do so in short bursts of 30 seconds or less. Look at how US President Donald Trump communicates with his millions of followers. Bite size sound bites are what he does best, even if the content isn’t exactly worth reading. But he grabs the attention of his audience by drip feeding tiny bits of information on a regular basis. With i...
