There are already tons of social networking sites out there and as of this writing a couple more people are probably developing more. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
One way to generate traffic is to join one or maybe a couple of these social networking sites, add a lot of contacts / friends, and then promote your web site to them. If you have a good relationship with your friends/contacts, more likely than not, they will pay your site a visit. Each visit is a valid traffic to your website. The more traffic you have the higher chances you'll have of earning from your Google Adsense.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Remember though that writing good content is of the utmost importance. Your friends and contacts will only come back to your site if they find value in your web site. In order to get consistent results, you need regular traffic and not just one time visits.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
Avoid abusing this medium as well. More likely than not, you have common friends / contacts in different social networking sites. Posting the same articles on all your networking sites can piss your friends and readers off. Shameless self promotion is a horrible long term <b>internet marketing strategy</b>.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Another popular way to generate links for your web site is to write other bloggers / web aministrators for link exchanges. In doing so be courteous and polite. Remember to be patient as well. Most time-tested bloggers rarely give out links the first time you court them. Try to build a good relationship with the writer first. You can do this by visiting his/her site from time to time and leaving sincere comments on his/her posts. Just be patient and sooner or later you will get your link. After all, it's not called "Link Love" for nothing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
If you do your stuff correctly, <b>internet marketing </b>can give you a lot of love as well. (^o^)v</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<object height="344" width="425"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/aT2oVLGqT00&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/aT2oVLGqT00&hl=en&fs=1&rel=0&color1=0x5d1719&color2=0xcd311b" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object><br />
<br />
<br />
In the interview, both seasoned bloggers recommended <b>writing good content</b> as the "<i>Best SEO technnique</i>" there is. They encouraged site administrators to build good content for their sites first before thinking about generating a lot of traffic and getting a lot of readers.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Tim Ferriss suggested that you should aim to have your site become the default online reference for readers about something. This could be any topic which you are interested in or topics which you think a lot of people are interested in. </div> <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Once you have acquired a community of loyal readers, it is also important to monitor and manage this community. Try to prevent spammers from harassing your readers. Monitor the comments page and take the time to reply to your readers' inquiries. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Lastly, I realized through the interview that offline promotions is as important as online promotions. You can either meet other bloggers with the same interests, hold a seminar on your site's topic, or even write a book about it.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
I hope this video was helpful. It surely gave me a few interesting <b>ideas about online marketing</b>. </div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">One way to increase your site's google page rank is to acquire links to your site. One of the most common ways on how this is done is by leaving comments on other sites. Here's what you should do:</div><br />
1. Search google for sites with high page ranks using the <a href="http://onlinemarketingphilippines.blogspot.com/2009/04/seo-blogging-optimize-right-keywords.html">keywords </a>for your site.<br />
2. Read interesting articles on that site. If the site has a "popular articles" section, start on those articles.<br />
3. Leave a comment on that site. Don't forget to write the URL of your site in the "site" or "url" field.<br />
<br />
It's as simple as that. You have successfully promoted your blog over the internet. If you continue with your internet marketing efforts, your blog will surely acquire a high page rank in no time. <br />
<div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
I would like to end with a simple reminder about leaving comments. When you leave a comment, always be sincere. Avoid leaving comments with generic messages like "Nice post", "Loved the article", and all those unsincere comments. The site's administrator will know and its likely that your comment would only be deleted. And when that happens, your link will disappear and all your efforts will be wasted. Like in real space, as opposed to cyber space, <b>internet marketing</b> has to be ethical as well.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

COPYING what established sites do! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>Here's what you should do to increase your page rank:<br />
<br />
1. After you've chosen which keywords to use to optimize you site with, search google using those <b>keywords</b>.<br />
2. Take note of the web sites that come out on the first page of google.<br />
3. Monitor these sites and copy what they do!<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">By copying, I mean posting similar articles to what they are posting, using the same keywords as they do, using the same site layouts, looking for sites that link to them and requesting them to link to your site as well, etc. Be a copycat, the best way you know how to, and for sure in no time you would be attracting readers to your site and increasing your site's page rank.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

<b><br />
</b><br />
<b>Onpage optimization</b> is what we have been doing so far. It involves <a href="http://onlinemarketingphilippines.blogspot.com/2009/04/seo-blogging-optimize-right-keywords.html">choosing the right keywords</a> and <a href="http://onlinemarketingphilippines.blogspot.com/2009/04/seo-blogging-optimizing-your-site.html">optimizing your site</a> for these keywords.<br />
<br />
<b>Offpage optimization</b>, on the other hand, involves all other ranking factors that google considers in ranking your site. These includes but are not limited to the following:<br />
<br />
<ul><li>The websites that link to you</li>
<li>The number of websites linking to you</li>
<li>The Page rank of the website linking to you</li>
<li>The page title of the site linking to you</li>
<li>The anchor text used by the site to link to you.</li>
<li>The number and types of links linking to the website that links to you.</li>
</ul>Future posts will discuss what you can do to optimize your site offpage.<div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

You can do this by telling google to index your site.</div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">The easiest way to have your site indexed is to go to <a href="http://www.google.com/addurl.html">http://www.google.com/addurl.html</a>. However, this process can take several weeks. It definitely is not the fastest way to have your site indexed. So what else can you do that's faster?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">The answer is <b>page linking</b>! What you have to do is search google using your keywords and then looking at the sites that come first in the results. Your aim is to look for sites with high page ranks. Once you've found one, contact the administrator of the site and politely ask if they're willing to exchange links with you. That is, you place a link of their site on your page in exchange for them linking back at you. If you are able to do this in a couple of sites, your website will soon be indexed by google in no time.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
If you have trouble exchanging links. You can also try buying links. When you buy a link, you pay a certain amount to have your link posted in someone else's site for a certain period of time, usually for a month. If your goal is just to get indexed by google fast, you really only have to do this once.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />

<br />
1. In your page title, include only your main keywords. Shorten the description of your site, enumerating only the main keywords. If possible, combine keywords with the same words on them. You may also use the symbol "|", or any other symbol, to replace conjunctions like "and" and "or".<br />
<br />
2. Place your most important keywords in the h1 tag. And it should be located at the topmost portion of your website.<br />
<br />
3. Place your secondary keywords in the h2 tag.<br />
<br />
4. On the body of your text, try to include your keywords in every paragraph. Avoid overdoing it as google will treat your site as spam and it won't rank well. Like for this page I am trying to optimize the words "<b>Online Marketing</b>" and "<b>SEO Blogging</b>".<br />
<br />
5. When writing, try to mention each keyword in a natural way. It would also help to change the style of the font (bold, italicize, underline) for your keywords. However, do this only once per page.<br />
<br />
6. Add a picture to your site / page if possible. Name the picture after your keywords.<br />
<br />
That's it! <br />

<div class="PageTitle"><b>Find out what people are looking to buy online...</b></div><div class="PageTitle"></div><div class="Content">How do you know what people want buy online?<br />
<br />
Fortunately, a number of sites make answering that question very simple by publishing weekly, monthly, and annual trends; interest comparisons, top lists and market research reports. Various online services publish the number of times keywords and phrases are searched over a given period of time.<br />
Here are 10 of my favorite market research sites and services.<br />
<ol><li><a href="http://www.google.com/press/zeitgeist.html" target="_blank"><b>Google's Zeitgeist</b></a> shows <b>weekly, monthly, and annual trends</b> and patterns based on the millions of searches conducted through Google's search engine. Zeitgeist by Country is also available on a monthly basis. </li>
<li> </li>
<li><a href="http://www.google.com/trends"><b>Google Trends</b></a> lets you <b>compare the world's interest</b> in your chosen niche markets. For example, I entered 'coffee' and 'tea' and discovered some significant spikes in the interest in coffee (shown in the graphic below).<br />

But if you want to make money online in a hurry, there are ways you can start padding your wallet quickly — and<br />you don’t even need a product of your own to sell.<br /><br />You can make money online by…<br /><ol><li> <strong>Selling and shipping products while someone else does all the work</strong>.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> In the Internet world, this is known as drop shipping. And it’s a great way to sell physical products without having to stock, ship, or fulfill orders. Instead, you hire a drop-shipping company to do that for you, so you can concentrate on marketing your website. The downside is that you have to pay a percentage of your profits to the drop-shipping company. But if you have your heart set on selling a physical product, or don’t have the time or money to develop your own, this is a good option. </div><br /></li><li> <strong>Recommending products</strong>.<br /><div style="text-align: justify;"> When you become an affiliate for someone else’s company, you can start earning commissions very quickly just for referring visitors to their website. Again, there’s no need to stock products or fulfill orders. You will have to be prepared to do some pretty hefty promoting if you want to create a money-making business primarily as an affiliate. But it’s definitely the fastest way to start earning an Internet income.</div><br /><br /></li><li style="text-align: justify;"><strong> Getting the right to sell other people’s products</strong> A third way to make money online in record time without developing your own product is to buy the reprint or resell rights to someone else’s product. When you purchase the rights to an established product, you get (depending on the kind of rights you purchase) permission to sell someone else’s product for them and keep a percentage of the sale. Or the right to buy someone’s product outright and resell it, keeping the entire proceeds of the sale. And in the best-case scenario, you can even purchase the right to sell the purchasing rights to other<br />people! You can find out how to get the rights for products like eBooks by approaching authors directly, or using a search engine to find out which rights would be best for you. This can be a very profitable way to make money online, but it does require an up-front investment. </li></ol><div style="text-align: justify;"> These are all great ways to start your own money-making business on the Net… and you can even mix and match them to create an even bigger Internet income. Just keep in mind there are other Internet<br />profit models that will allow you to keep even more of your profits if you’re willing to put in the time and effort.</div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Definitely a must read for online marketing enthusiasts.<br /><br />-0-<br /><br /><div style="font-weight: bold;" class="PageTitle">Choose keywords to target customers in each phase of the buying cycle...</div> <p style="text-align: justify;">Experienced PPC (pay per click) affiliate marketers know that they need to do extensive keyword search to find keywords that target potential customers who are near the end of the buying cycle --- or, ready to buy the product they are promoting. </p> <p>To find out what the 'buy' keywords are, let's look at a real example of the buying cycle in action.</p> <p style="text-align: justify;">I wanted to scan my vacation slides from years gone by to digital format so that I could upload them to Flickr and use them on my travel blog. So, I'm <em>interested</em> in learning about tools that convert slides. </p> <h3>Interest Phase</h3> <p>Interest is the first phase of the buying cycle and very generic 1 or 2-word keyword phrases such as '<em>slide converter</em>' and '<em>slide scanners</em>' are typically used in this phase.</p> <div align="center"><a title="Google Search Results for Slide Scanner by rosalindgardner, on Flickr" href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/rosalindgardner/2890580030/"><img alt="Google Search Results for Slide Scanner" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3194/2890580030_4a083cc2ca_o.jpg" width="500" border="0" height="409" /></a></div> <p style="text-align: justify;">Based on the natural and paid search results on the first page (as shown in the screenshot above), I found slide converters available through <a title="Amazon" href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0001DYTOY?ie=UTF8&tag=byebye925-20&linkCode=as2&camp=1789&creative=9325&creativeASIN=B0001DYTOY">Amazon</a>, <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1576815-10370380?cm_mmc=CJ-_-170178-_-1576815-_-Hammacher%20Schlemmer" target="_blank">Hammacher Schlemmer</a>, <a href="http://ebay.com/" target="_blank">eBay</a> and more merchants. </p> <p>And so began my <em>research</em>...</p> <h3>Research Phase</h3> <p>The second or 'research' phase of the buying cycle also begins when keyword phrases get longer and more specific. These keywords are also known as <strong>'long tail' keywords</strong>. </p> <p>Google makes it easy for surfers to move into the research phase by placing related searches at the bottom of the first page of search results. Related searches for 'slide scanner' searches related to slide converter included:</p> <ul><li>35mm slide converter </li><li>hammacher schlemmer slide converter </li><li>slide converter reviews </li><li>nikon slide converter </li></ul> <p>Notice how both brand (Nikon) and merchant (hammacher schlemmer) names show up in these keyword phrases. Merchant and brand names in the related searches may give clues as to popularity of an item and help push a researcher in a specific direction. </p> <p>The following words are commonly appended to a generic product keyword phrase by surfers in the research phase: </p> <ul><li>best </li><li>compare (comparing) </li><li>guide </li><li>recommended </li><li>review </li><li>top-rated (top rated) </li></ul> <p>As research continues, <strong>specific model numbers</strong> get included in the keyword search. I zeroed in on the following models:</p> <ul><li><a href="http://affiliate.buy.com/gateway.aspx?adid=17662&aid=10387771&pid=1281521&sURL=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.buy.com%2Fprod%2Fnikon-super-coolscan-5000-ed-ls5000-film-scanner-usa%2Fq%2Floc%2F111%2F206721483.html&cjsku=206721483" target="_top">Nikon Coolscan 5000 ED</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/click-1281521-10386530?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ritzcamera.com%2Fproduct%2F811530161.htm&cjsku=811530161" target="_top">Nikon Super Coolscan 9000 ED Scanner</a> </li><li><a href="http://www.tkqlhce.com/click-1281521-10471620?url=http%3A%2F%2Fcj.shop.com%2FNikon_SF_210_Auto_Slide_Feeder_for_Coolscan_5000ED_Film_Scanner_-19648414-26987014-p%21.shtml%3Fsourceid%3D23&cjsku=26987014" target="_top">Nikon SF-210 Auto Slide Feeder</a> (for the Coolscan 5000ED) </li></ul> <p>When a researcher has finished reading reviews about a variety of different products and has made a decision about which specific product they want to purchase, they move into the Buy phase.</p> <h3>Buy Phase</h3> <p>I came to the conclusion that the Nikon 5000ED slide scanner had the features that I wanted, so it was time to get down to the task of finding a great deal.</p> <p>Keywords typically appended to the specific model keyword phrase in the buying cycle include:</p> <ul><li>bargain </li><li>best price(s) </li><li>buy (buying) </li><li>cheap </li><li>compare prices </li><li>coupon </li><li>coupon codes </li><li>deals </li><li>discount </li><li>free shipping </li><li>low cost (low-cost) </li><li>low price </li><li>price (prices) </li><li>purchase </li><li>save money </li></ul> <p>Over the years, I've found that <span style="font-weight: bold;">Wordtracker </span>gives the best clues as to the exact keyword phrases people use in each phase of the buying cycle. Here is a screenshot of the Wordtracker results for 'slide scanner'. (Click the pic to see the full size.)</p> <div align="center"><a title="Wordtracker Results for Slide Scanner by rosalindgardner, on Flickr" href="http://flickr.com/photos/rosalindgardner/2890573002/sizes/o/in/set-72157606808728467/" target="_blank"><img alt="Wordtracker Results for Slide Scanner" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3019/2890573002_d0204544d2.jpg" width="500" border="0" height="375" /></a></div> <p>So, how can you use knowledge about the buying cycle to improve your PPC campaigns?</p> <h3>Keyword Choice and Your PPC Campaign</h3> <p>As mentioned at the beginning of this article, you want to attract people who are <em>late</em> in the buying cycle - which means adding brand and model number keyword phrases to your Adwords (and other PPC campaigns) - IF possible.</p> <p>You <em>must</em> confirm that using specific brand or model keyword phrases is permitted in your merchant's affiliate agreement.</p> <p>For example, <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-1576815-10385699" target="_blank">RitzCamera.com</a> (a CJ merchant) lists the following recommended keywords:</p> <blockquote>camera center, digital camera, camera, camcorder, canon camera, nikon cameras, canon digital camera, nikon digital camera, canon lenses, nikon lenses, Nikon, Canon, Kodak, Sony digital camera, photography equipment, pentax, fuji, memory cards, digital SLR, 35mm, tripod, camera flash, telescope, binocular, GPS, elctonics, gifts, camera sale, discount digital camera, digital frame, plasma tv, LCD TV, MP3</blockquote> <p>So, in addition to the obvious generic search terms for slide scanners, a PPC search affiliate could also get highly targeted traffic with terms like "<em>Nikon 5000 ED review</em>" and "<em>Nikon slide scanner review</em>".</p> <p>The benefits?</p> <p>By using more targeted 'buy' keyword phrases, you will get <em>less</em> clicks (which means you spend LESS on ppc marketing),<em> and</em> you will make <em>more</em> sales.</p> <p>Spending less and making more --- now doesn't that make keyword research worth the effort? </p><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Here's how to check whether google has indexed your site.<br /><br />1. Go to www.google.com<br />2. Enter "site:http://www.yoursite.com" in the search box then press enter.<br />3. If results are shown, that means your site has already been indexed.<br /><br />To check for google's cache of your site, use this.<br /><br />1. Go to www.google.com<br />2. Enter "info:http://www.yoursite.com" in the search box then press enter.<br />3.

It is a classic for all ages. We have seen the storylines develop through out the years. First there was the hair-raising thrillers portraying them as blood-sucking monsters. Next came a romantic take on it with Bram Stoker’s Dracula (As to how Winona Ryder fell in love with that ugly looking creature still puzzles me). And there was Interview with a Vampire portraying them as hunks with Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt among the cast. (Not to mention the in between takes like Blade and Underworld)</div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />So what did Stephenie Meyer change to make her storyline different? She mixed and matched and added a few more components. She made them beautiful like <st1:place>Hollywood</st1:place> hunks as well, she made them built for romance, she made them young, and most intriguing of all she changed their diets! For the first time, a new group is introduced who stay off humans and feast on animals instead.<br /><br /></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgb(39, 78, 19); color: yellow; text-align: justify;"><b>Marketing Lesson no. 2: </b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="background-color: rgb(39, 78, 19); color: yellow; text-align: justify;"><b>If you have a brand that works, Extend it!<br /></b></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: justify;"><br />Now that the book is a bestseller, why not make a movie out of it!

One day when her computer crashed on her she was forced to avail the services of internet cafes to complete her work. She tried quite a few of them and wittingly relates her experience into a marketing and business strategy of creating your own market.<br />

These products are the best because of their value for money. However, owners sometimes hide or disguise these to discourage potential consumers from buying them. Here are some examples of how these products are hidden:</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><ul><li>Coffee shops offering smaller sized servings do not include this in the menu in order to encourage consumers in buying the larger servings which have higher profit margins. These smaller servings are made available only upon customer requests. (Starbucks and Coffee Republic)</li>
<li>Supermarkets packaged their cheaper products like they've been there for days (unappealing). It's not because they can't afford better packaging but because they want to persuade richer customers to buy something more expensive instead.</li>
<li>Technology related products would offer high specification products at a premium price while offering the same product with some functions disabled at a lower price.</li>
<li>Restaurants sometimes offer discounts to customers who eat by the bar instead of sitting on a table. </li>
</ul>These marketing tactics are referred to as "Product Sabotage."<br />

Start with a good business concept.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks was successful because it was able to come up with a new concept of presenting a coffee house as a gathering place. It is not only a place to drink gourmet coffee but it has also become a center for socialization.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />2. Think Big</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks started small but it always had big ambitions. Having a vision that's ambitious will drive the company to continue on achieving.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />3. Think Outside the Box</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks pursued clustering, opening stores close to each other, a strategy considered risky by most to increase total revenue and market share. Their risk paid off as the practice help them achieve market dominance quickly.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />4. Partner Smart.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks demonstrated that even a large company sometimes needs help. Through partnerships, Starbucks was able to expand their brand into other products like ice creams and bottled beverages. It was also able to increase it's distribution channels by partnering with bookstores. Strategic partnerships can help you enter new markets and reach a global audience.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />5. Create a Unique Experience.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks was able to create a coffee shop experience that was attractive, comfortable, and even entertaining. In the stores you can find, comfortable chairs, high speed wifi connections, and a unique selection of music.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />6. Keep customers happy.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks' mission statement is "Develop enthusiastically satisfied customers all of the time." Every decision management came up with was geared towards fulfilling this mission.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />7. Dig deep into customers' wallet.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Although Starbucks' main product was coffee, the company introduced other products like pastries and sandwiches to go along with the coffee to get customers to spend more.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />8. Ability to roll out new initiatives.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks continuously came up with innovations, coming up with new coffee flavors and concoctions.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />9. Good Management.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Good management team that come up with winning strategies for the company. The company also takes good care of its employees. Treating each employee as a business partner rather than just an ordinary employee.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />10. Diversified revenue stream.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br /> Starbucks was able to genereate income from different sources and not just from selling coffee beverages.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:78%;"><br /><br />source: http://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol144/starbucks.htm</span></div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"> </div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--

Consumer's should be able to identify with the tag line and the claim. The tag line should be such that when said it's the consumers' who's talking and not the company. And example is McDonald's "I'm Lovin' It" as opposed to the Philippine's Globe Telecom's tag line of "Abot mo mundo" (You can reach the world).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />2. Secondly, the company should avoid claiming a "dissatisfier" brand equity value. In the service industry, a dissatisfier could be a service that is expected of the company already. Examples are utility companies that provide water and electricity. These companies are considered to be providing good service when consumers don't notice the services they are offering. This happens when you have continuous flow of water at home and when your TV turns on when you click the remote control. Therefore avoid tag lines like "Providing you with interrupted water supply / electric supply". These are what's required of the company at minimum. Instead come up with a "satisfier" brand equity value. Just like Cathay Pacific's tag line of "It's the little things that move you," referring to the additional services they provide to their in flight guests.<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size:78%;">source: http://business.inquirer.net/money/features/view/20080711-147720/Right-corporate-brand-equity-for-service-firm</span></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><script type="text/javascript"><!--
