It’s the Eco-Friendly Way

We're all trying to be more environmentally aware these days by trying to provide  goods and services considered to be inflict minimal or no harm on the environment, especially environment around us,  and a great way to do that is to buy pre-owned products that are still in great shape. For businesses, that means buying used trade show displays instead of new ones. While new displays can still be eco-friendly, buying a used trade show booth means that no additional resources had to be used to create another display.

The only thing better than being eco-friendly is saving money, yup saving money :) , and with a used trade show display, you can do both. Pre-owned displays cost much less than comparable new displays, and the savings you'll get from buying used can be put towards accessories like banner stands, literature racks, and flooring - all things that will draw more people to your display. Save your company some money and do the environment a favor by buying a used trade show display from Trade Show Joe. There a lot  of company that offer trade show display to buy, but Trade Show Joe is one good option to choose. It's a decision you won't soon regret.

Do we understand the customer?

As Edward de Bono explains in his books we communicate through codes. The tendency of man is to save on communication and nothing better to do this than using codes that define more complex units.

Human language is an example of the use of codes, the signifiers are only representations diagrams of meanings more or less complex. When we ask for a coffee with milk, we know that this involves a process of preparation described in the signifier.

We tell each way, sending the other codes, which in turn bring us back full of meaning codes. These codes, this wealth of information, sometimes it is compressed in the form of models, which carry the particular part. The creation and use of codes and models, despite receiving the influence of the group, the tribe has built a substantial degree of personal intimacy. Each person creates their own codes in transmitting the communication process. Usually these are so similar that there are no communication problems, but if that difference creates communication differences?

Commercial research

When talking about commercial research, I remembered an old article that shocked me a lot of Oren Harari, one of the minions of Tom Peters and professor at the University of San Francisco.

Unfortunately I do not remember the title, do not keep the article.

My notes refer to doubts about whether commercial research is always essential, whether listening to the customer is always unavoidable.

In many cases, separates the research directors and employees of the real customers and their needs. It replaces the actual contact with individuals or corporate clients as a substitute for listening based on making a surface contact with a small group of people, more or less representative. Thus, it falsely assumes the investigation and resulting report as a substitute for a real and direct relationship with the client.

There are reports, but one remains in ignorance. Listening is replaced by the customer directly substitute.

If you run a bank sends to your managers twenty days a year to randomly selected offices, if the marketing head of an insurance company, put on managers to meet and manage customer claims in the face to face. If you're selling beer, look at the bars as your people consume. This is my moral. I'm not saying to replace the classic research. I mean that compliments!

Meet customer expectations for their satisfaction

Customer Satisfaction

In competitive markets, customers have become very demanding, since they can buy similar products and services. To achieve customer loyalty, companies must be attentive to their expectations and provide a benefit greater than expected.

The manager of the marketing department of an organization should be able to answer this question with certainty: "Exactly what measures the customer satisfaction?" The answer is clear: a customer is satisfied when the benefit received by the product or service purchased is greater than the expectations that had been forged before the transaction.

Social Media Marketing: the most effective is the least measurable

The so-called social media ( "Social Web") are changing the way companies communicate with their customers and markets. If there is a hot topic among professionals from the marketing of technology products that is Social Media Marketing, not only because the figures show that shoppers are increasingly involved in these media, but because in many marketing budgets "crisis" the investment in them is increasing.

However, this is a simmering issue for which there is not even a stable definition. Therefore it is useful to the publication of studies such as the "2009 Social Media Benchmark & PR Guide" by MarketingSherpa, which helps us identify what works and what does not in the field of Marketing and Public Relations in Social Media and incorporate these techniques in our plans.
