Is Facebook Holding Your Brand For Ransom? Tall Tales Of Pay Requirements To View Posts

December 17, 2018May 18, 2019

Do you have one of those Facebook friends that constantly posts rumors about celebrity deaths, UFO sightings, changes to Facebook policies, and other gossip? For some people, the lure of a rumor becomes too great to ignore, especially when it comes to changes that affect their business’ social media presence.

Social media is a brand’s prime way of directly interacting with their audiences. So, when someone is telling them that unless they pay up, their Facebook presence will be wildly diminished, some worry will inevitably ensue. Take this message, one among hundreds that I’ve been seeing recently, concerning paid promoted pages versus unpaid:

Once again Internet, you are spreading rumors and putting people into unnecessary panic. Let’s straighten out the details.

While some of the information is true, we need to iron out the facts. Yes, brands now have the option to pay for promotion on Facebook. However, this will not affect the unpaid posts that Facebook has always had. Even before the option for paid posts, users never received every single post from every single page. The number of posts by a certain page that users receive is based upon how active they are on that page.

Facebook uses an algorithm called EdgeRank, which will measure user activity on certain pages. Users “like” a page, and at first, will receive select posts from it. After time, if they don’t like anything that page posts or don’t comment on it or visit it, EdgeRank will assume they’ve lost interest and those posts will no longer appear on their news-feed.

The way around EdgeRank, as a user/fan, is to create an Interest List. Adding certain pages to the list specifically denotes an interest in them, and a user can go into their List and click a page to see all posts in one display.

The important thing to understand is that nothing has actually changed regarding a business’ ability to reach their fans, aside from the awareness of what has been in place. Rather than a message of panic, businesses should offer an enticement to their followers so that they don’t miss out on good content. Getting added to a user’s Interest List could be requested, but shouldn’t be pleaded for. In the end, the thing that will keep your audience coming back is interesting and useful content on a regular basis.

LEBANON

December 16, 2018May 18, 2019

Lebanon is a Middle Eastern country famous for its remarkable cuisine and its soils rich in oil. Lebanon was the cradle of Phoenician civilization and its long history and old traditions make it the subject most written about in books. This country is one of the most progressive Islamic states and the one with the biggest Christian religious group. Actually, counting the people living here without a citizenship, the Christians outnumber the Muslims. That’s not the only interesting statistic about Lebanon. Brazil has the biggest Lebanese community, almost twice as large as the one in Lebanon.

Lebanese are very open and communicative persons. They consider an honor to have guests coming over and the hosts will most likely prepare ridiculous amounts of food for your visit. Don’t shy away, Lebanese cuisine is one of the most balanced in the world and includes vegetables, spices, dairy products and different types of meat. You’re expected to dress formally, pay your respects to the elders and follow their etiquette.

Unlike other Islamic countries, there isn’t such a strict ban on alcohol. They have their fair share of nightclubs and strip clubs. You can go out for a drink and people won’t look at you strangely if you smoke. Actually, people here are very relaxed so they’ll take a lot of smoking and coffee breaks, even if it means they have to stay past closing time at work. Lebanese hate thinking ahead and if you don’t remind them last minute that they have an obligation, they’ll probably forget about it.

When in Lebanon, visit Beirut, it’s the most famous city of the Middle East. The capital received the nickname of Phoenix due to its turbulent past — it was repeatedly destroyed and yet it has raised again each time. Lebanon is the oldest name ever used for a country, so expect many historical monuments, Ancient, Muslim, Jewish or Christian. Here lies the biggest Roman Parthenon. Byblos is the oldest city in the world that has continuously been inhabited. You need to be cautious while visiting, Lebanon’s neighbors are Israel and Syria, so consequences of warfare might affect Lebanon too.

Backcountry Skiing

December 15, 2018May 18, 2019

Backcountry skiing is the most challenging form of alpine skiing. In many cases, it involves hiking up the slopes, otherwise known as earning your turns. Slopes will not be groomed, and there is no ski patrol. However, you will not be plagued by long lift lines or crowded slopes.

Things You’ll Need:

Backcountry ski gear Avalanche equipment A backcountry guide Snowshoes or skins for climbing A backpack A helmet Warm ski clothes An avalanche probe Snacks A lighter, in case you need to light a fire
Backcountry ski gear
Avalanche equipment
A backcountry guide
Snowshoes or skins for climbing
A backpack
A helmet
Warm ski clothes
An avalanche probe
Snacks
A lighter, in case you need to light a fire

Step 1
Develop advanced ski skills. Backcountry skiing is not for intermediate skiers. You will need to be an expert at steep and deep powder skiing. Consider taking an avalanche safety course. Many ski areas that offer backcountry skiing also have these types of courses.

Step 2
Purchase backcountry safety gear. This includes an avalanche shovel and a beacon. Practice using this gear prior to your trip.

Step 3
Choose a backcountry ski area. A number of ski resorts now have special backcountry programs, complete with professional backcountry guides. For example, in the Vail, Colorado, area, you can do the 10th Mountain Division hut-to-hut tour. In Utah, the Ski Utah Interconnect Tour allows you to ski the backcountry area of six different ski areas. The new Imperial Express Lift at Breckenridge in Colorado offers some of the only lift-serviced backcountry skiing in North America.

Step 4
Let friends and family members know where you are going, and what days you will be in the backcountry.

The Single Biggest Worry For Advertisers And Marketers

December 14, 2018May 18, 2019

No, this will NOT be another post about Google+ – not there’s anything wrong with that, and no it’s not about the national debt and the possible impact it will have on the American economy. To me the single biggest worry for advertisers and marketers is do consumers remember your product and brand after seeing an ad (TV spot) or do they just remember the ad itself?

Ok, perhaps this is somewhat tongue-in-cheek as obviously advertisers and marketers worry about the bottom line at all times and that is their single biggest worry, always. But think about it. You spend many hours and lots of money on creating and developing a campaign to promote your brand and product. You then launch said campaign across multiple mediums with the hope and intent that consumers, AKA the ones with the money to spend on your product and brand, will be compelled to buy.

But… But what if after seeing your ad, in this case a TV commercial, those same consumers don’t remember your brand or product but rather only remember the commercial itself? What if there is no connection in their minds and their wallets from the commercial to your product or brand?

Way back in 2009 – I say ‘way back in 2009’ because there’s been quite a few changes in the advertising and marketing arenas in just 2 years i.e. the explosion of social media, mobile marketing, smartphones, tablets and on and on – I posed a very simple query to some folks. [[Note: This was by no means a scientific survey but rather an open-ended question thrown out to whomever wanted to reply.]]

What makes a TV commercial memorable? And follow up question, is it the brand and product you remember or just the commercial itself?

First, some overall findings:

Humor was definitely the most-oft used word to describe what makes a commercial memorable.
Other words that came up a lot were “tagline” and “jingle”
Many mentioned the use of an iconic-type character as being an integral part of making a commercial stand out from the pack.
Another person took it a step further and delved deeper into the heart of the advertising matter (BTW, this is a great, GREAT point): “Advertising, especially TV commercials can get customers in the door only one time. After that, it’s up the seller to build trust and loyalty.”

And some detailed replies:

“Heart and or Humor. One that tickles the funny bone, makes you laugh out loud and call a person in the other room … “Hey, you’ve gotta come see this commercial …” On the flip side, one that pulls at the heart strings, or even at times rips the heart right out of your chest with power, energy or fear, causing you to pause and think. Makes you say “wow!” They only come along so often. Product is not always the most memorable part – think of how many times you’ve said, “I saw this great commercial, don’t remember exactly what it was for, but …” I seem to remember product on the powerful serious spots – less so on the funny commercials where sometimes the punchline over powers product.”
Generally for me, a TV spot has to score high in 2 areas to be memorable: sheer entertainment value and disruption/thought-provoking ability. That second category covers those few ingenious spots every year that go completely against the settled order of things to really achieve something different. As for whether I remember the product or just the commercial itself, that varies. But I bet you a dollar to a donut that those of us in the biz latch on to the sponsor probably five times more often than the average viewing Joe or Jane — so if we’re inconsistent in our recall, imagine how they do on that score.”
I often remember ads that are funny, but not the product. I think to be memorable isn’t really the point, it is to be remembered favorably with the target audience. To do that I think of two things – a message and delivery that is right for the product and enough repetition to stick the point without making you scream.”
“Humor often makes the ad memorable. But a strong BENEFIT makes the product memorable.”
“If you don’t remember the product or service, the ad is a failure. The ad should address a need, demonstrate how the product or service meets the need, and do it in a compelling, memorable way, with a device known as a hook.”
“Stupid commercials are the most memorable, followed by funny ones. I tend to remember a commercial first then the product.”
“I always remember the commercial itself and not the product.”
“I remember commercials that have interesting animation, good music, or beautiful effects OR those that are really irritating. I often remember the product only more or less, eg: “it’s about butter substitutes”, but I don’t recall the product if asked. However, I often find that I am ‘attracted’ to the product, in that I notice it among its fellows on the shelf. I don’t always buy it. Buying is more closely related to whether I would buy it anyway, and how much it costs.”

Ok your turn…

If you’re a marketer or advertiser and had to choose, it’s more important that the consumer remembers your brand and product more so than the actual TV commercial itself, right? I mean it would be great if a consumer remembers both and instantly makes that connection between commercial and brand but at the end of the day it’s all about sales.

If a consumer sees a commercial and then remembers your brand and product when standing in front of that shelf in the store or or in front of that screen, who cares if they remember the actual commercial or if it was funny or not, as long as they buy your product, right?

What about those of us on the agency side? Don’t we want it all? Don’t we want to flex our creative muscles and create commercials that consumers remember and win us some fancy awards? All the while increasing the bottom line of our clients, too… which is ALWAYS the ultimate goal.

Spring Break Ideas for Students

December 12, 2018May 18, 2019

Most students are on a budget—-especially in their senior year of high school or last year of college. So when it comes time for spring break, students are looking for a place to unwind, relax and have fun without breaking the bank. Spring break is typically observed any time between the first week of March through Easter. Here are some popular locations for spring break for students.

Cruise
A popular spring break idea for students is to take a cruise. Royal Caribbean is one of the world’s most recognized cruise lines. With departures including cities in southern Florida, South Carolina, New York and California, getting there is easy. Most students opt for five- to seven-night cruises with Caribbean or tropical ports of call. Popular destinations are the Bahamas, Cancun and Aruba. Because most cruises are all inclusive, they are also affordable. Many cruises for one person are for seven nights and start at around $500.

Coco Beach
Cocoa beach, located on the Atlantic side of the state of Florida, is both convenient and affordable for students. The beach is centrally located near Cape Canaveral, Florida and the Kennedy Space Center as well being the closest beach to Orlando. Brevard Zoo is also nearby and offers spring breakers a chance to observe wildlife and marine life in their natural habitat. The beach is the perfect spot for sun bathing and parasailing.

New York City
The Big Apple is a great place for students to visit during spring break. There are several things to do that are both fun and educational. The Statue of Liberty and Ellis Island offer tours of the area and an educational insight into past historical events. The Ground Zero Memorial area allows students to see first hand the mammoth area where the Twin Towers once stood. The Broadway district offers students to see world renowned stage shows and experience what the heart of New York is all about.

Panama City, Florida
Panama City Beach is the spring breaker’s dream come true. It is estimated that each year hundreds of thousands of spring breakers trek to the area to have a wild and fun time. MTV and VH1 are some of the large-scale entertainment hosts that put on beach parties here over spring break. Along with a slew of celebrity hosts and top 40 entertainment—-this is a happening place to be. Most of the bars in the area require that students be at least 18 to enter but have to be 21 to drink. This city is also loaded with hundreds of souvenir shops to check out—-so finding that perfect gift to take home is easy.

Disneyland, California
California has great spring break opportunities for students. One of the biggest attractions in California is Disneyland. Its park offers excitement for students of all ages. Some of the park’s main attractions are the “Indiana Jones Adventure,” “Matterhorn” bobsleds and “Big Thunder Mountain Railroad.” Spring breakers can stay on-site at one of the Disneyland resort hotels or nearby at a local campground or motel.

Commit to Quit

December 9, 2018May 18, 2019

The first thing you need to do when you decide you want to quit smoking is to make the commitment to do so. This may seem pretty obvious, but most people don’t really commit to quitting. They decide one day that they WANT to stop smoking, but they don’t actually make any kind of commitment to do so!

If you want to really quit smoking once and for all, you need to make a strong commitment to yourself and those you love that you’re really going to do it. Whether it’s a New Year’s Resolution or just a decision you make, you need to tell those you care about that you’re committed to doing it, and you need to convince yourself that you’re ready and willing to quit.

Once you’ve made the decision to quit, you should write out a commitment letter. You can address this to yourself, your spouse, your children, your entire family, or even to God. This represents your commitment to yourself and whoever you address your commitment letter to that you are going to do your very best to stop smoking. You may experience some setbacks. Most people do. But you are making a resolution to stick to it for as long as it takes.

You should make copies of your letter and give them to every person you address the letter to. If your letter is addressed to your spouse and children, give each of them their own copy. Ask them to help hold you accountable by reminding you of your commitment every time you mess up and have a cigarette. You don’t want to let them down, do you?

While it’s important to make the commitment for yourself, ultimately your smoking will affect your entire family. Because of this, your commitment should be to all of them, not just to yourself.
