Summertime Rolls on NMDL

I think spreading the message across multiple social media sites can draw more attention to the ad without necessarily being redundant. Some users prefer to get their information from Facebook while other prefer Twitter, furthermore, some people are vidual learners so something like a video is required.

I don't think it's wrong to post the same post on multiple social media platforms. I think by sharing the same post on multiple social media platforms it shows that the brand has the same point over all media and has a united front on all media platforms.

When it comes to key metrics, what is the most efficient way to measure the resaults of inbound marketing?

I think that some companys include way too much content when writing blogs or sending emails. What do you think is the perfect amount of content and how do you know when its too much?

When it comes to social media, how do you find the balance of business professional and living your life, seeing as though your social media is soemthing that is personal?

My question this week is Inbound marketing is very important for a company but it's not used by many. How can the companies that don't use it create quality content that attract people to the business? What other marketing strategies can be used?  

Which brands are the most successful with inbound marketing? Is this the trend every brand would have to use to stay afloat?

Is this trend of buying likes or followers on social media adventageous for the brand or is it merely a show for ego?

HBO's products are their shows. This is what their audiences are looking for (unless its the movies they also host). Their shows also differ vastly in terms of content, does this mean they create multiple personas per show? Do they group show types and create personas then? Or do they create shows with similar ratings and have personas based off of the desire to target older, more mature audiences?

In the process of creating a buyer persona how can you figure out more about your customers and do companies make more than 1 buyer persona?

It is obvious that inbound marketing is more efficient than outbound marketing, does that mean the traditional ways should be replaced? Is there any area where inbound marketing doesn't work?

Do you think that in order to be very successful with inbound marketing social media usage fro a brand is a must? I know that Apple doens't use social media but they have a very good reputation when it comes to inbound marketing. Do you think that if they were to incorporate social media their inbound marketing strategy would change tremendously? 

Is it possible, if executed well, to have too much content? My brand does very well with social but could improve on content marketing. Is there a certain point where the return begins to plateau? 

What are some new ways that inbound marketing could integrate with social media platforms to better build a profile/portfolio of potential consumers?

As for mobile marketing, how necessary do you feel it is for small businesses to have their own apps? And what features do you think make the best apps? How do companies go about making their own app?

For inbound marketing, it seems a lot of generalizations need to be made to form a buyer persona. How do companies keep these generalizations accurate to their customers and keep from using stereotypes?

It seems everywhere we look, companies are finding new ways to advertise their products. What are some of the most unique examples of digital and/or print advertising you've seen done by companies? And what made them so unique?

Mobile Websites: What are some must-have features for mobile friendly websites?

Inbound Marketing: Is it okay for a business to have one buyer persona or is it necessary to have multiple buyer personas?

Online Advertising: With so many online advertising options, which methods do you recommend as the most effective?

Even though Apple is a very successful brand, they stir away from marketing on social media and stick to more traditional advertising such as having a commerical on TV. Do you think that if they expanded their marketing strategy into social media full force it would be benifical to them and increase sales? Or do you think that it would stay pretty close to the same with them already being so known?

When starting a new company is it best to start with social media advertising and then wait a while to before you begin using paid ads when you have some following?

Without access to finance reports for the company we have been reseraching so far in class, how do we accurately determine a budget for social media advertisements, display advertisements, or search engine marketing? Do we simply make assumptions of what revenues and profit could be for a specific item/market? 

Would you suggest that the landing page that advertisements guides users to are different than the homepage of the site?

From a consumer's perspective, what if some unscrupulous companies especially in the medical industry get the bid of advertisement on the front page just because they pay the most?

My question this week would be if a small company just started using online advertise and wants to reach as many people as possible, what would you recommend for them to do? How could they reach the top of the ranking on SEM?  

Is paid advertising necessary when starting a new brand/company or can earned be enough?

On the first day of class, we talked a little bit about the benefits of having a LinkedIn profile when you are looking for a job after school.  My question is, what are the benefits of starting a profile now while we are still in school?

Is it effective to attatch other social media to your linked-in account in order for veiwers to get a full idea of who you are? 

For a student who doesnt have much of anything for work experience is LinkedIn an efficient way to promote yourself on the market? What makes someones profile stronger than someone elses if they have related work experience and a college education? 

What are your thoughts on connecting on LinkedIn with professionals who you have no work relationship with? As I was updating and expanding my profile these past weeks I kept receiving invitations from people I've never talked to or worked with, or work in the same industry I'm hoping to work in. I know it's always great to build your network but I found it odd. 

With LinkedIn being a site that is used to seek employment and internships is there a way to upload your resume to your page? If there is do you reccomend doing this, or do you think it is too risky putting it out there to anyone who connects with you? If my resume isn't on my page what do you think future job recruters look at the most on your profile? 

I updated my LinkedIn profile recently and have included everything that I have had experience with in the past. I even included a nice background image that will attract recruiters attention and tried the LinkedIn premium trial. My question is what sets me apart from all the other people in my field of Advertising and how can I gain more attention to my profile? I am lacking advertising experience so what should I put on my profile that will fill that spot?

What would you suggest to someone who doesn't have much experience in the field that they want to go in, to put on their linked in? 

During my time with LinkedIn I have seen several users post regular "blogs" on the website. Do you think this is a good use of the LinkedIn website or should blog style posts be kept elsewhere?

After working on my LinkedIn account this passed few weeks, I found it very helpful to use and to connect with other people and companies. It's a very good way to look and find jobs in the field wanted. My question is how do companies find people to hire? and how can I make my profile more desirable for companies to find and pick me?  

As I was updating and expanding my linked in profile this week I was wondering what you recomend for us to put on our profiles that would be the most useful when it comes to looking for a full time job this upcoming year?/ How we can make ourselves more marketable?

As a college student, how much detail should we include in our profile? Is there a specific kind of content that can grab the attention of recruiter?

The assignment for this week focuses on our LinkedIn profiles. What organizations/members do you recommend for us to follow that share helpful information about digital marketing? And do you have any recommendations for us to help make our profiles stand out to employers from other candidates?

Are there any make-or-break features of a recent graduate's LinkedIn profile to a recruiter or prospective employer? What are they?
