I appreciate immersive marketing strategies. Personally I am much more likely to further investigate a product/company/service that was brought to my attention indirectly than say, on a billboard or full-page magazine ad. Society is used to ignoring billboards and magazine ads, but finding information about a company wedged in a larger context that I’m already engaged is intriguing. There is a lot of value to be gained from a company who isn’t afraid to converse with the public and let their consumers know they are listening, and perhaps, even caring. Blogs do just that. By the way, since we’re on the subject, this is a good one for relevant marketing strategies and tips

A blog IS social media but it seems necessary to keep “blogs” distinctive from “social media sites”. The reason I say that is because both are effective for networking and marketing purposes. The challenge really is in where and how to utilize them.

We classify blog and social media marketing in to 2 distinct types:

1. SEO
2. Relational Marketing

SEO, specifically in the form of RSS Marketing is effective on blogs and social media sites, but some online communities do not permit it so you just can’t go there. And sometimes blogging for SEO is frowned upon.

Relational Marketing is the term we use for doing exactly what has been suggested here, to “market without marketing”.

Hey Tamar – On the right track with going for a MacBook. I bought mine last year. Phenomenal companion.

Just went and bought the book…super stoked to read it. The Borders lady said it’s the “Guy Book”. She says that just about every guy swears by it…must be good. Thanks, Tamar!

Eugene Schwartz, the guy who was paid more than 250.000$ for a single sales-letter he wrote, often says:

- Be simple: talk to the chimpanzee brain ; that is talk to people’s desires. Give images, people buy on an (animal) impulse.

- Don’t create a need, create a solution for a need: Do not think that because your car is totally electronic driven that people will by it. People buy cars depending on things that help them, make them make economies, answer a need.

- Your sales letter is the bridge between your product and the client, and the very first part of this slaes letter has more than 80% of the whole importance: your HEADLINE.

There’s a lot, really a wealth, to learn from copywriters, especially those from the past century
