Comparing Demand Generation Systems

Customer Experience Matrix

Now that I have that long post about analytical databases out of the way, I can get back to thinking about demand generation systems. Research on the new Guide is proceeding nicely (thanks for asking), and should be wrapped up by the end of next week. This means I have to nail down how I’ll present the results.

Vyatta - Extremely Creative B2B Marketing

The newsletter is nicely put together, with important news at the top (they get PR), a silly but probably effetive free offer about half way down on the right side (they get humor) and links to their Facebook and LinkedIn groups (they get social networking).

American Idol, Treat for Melissa

Smashmouth Marketing

My daughter Melissa, Linda and I had something we have shared for the past couple years. Every January we tune to FOX and watch American Idol. Why do we watch it? We watch to see the kid next door become a superstar. We also watch to see the "other" kid next door act like a complete bozo. It is entertaining tv. This year when it was over, I turned to Melissa and asked if she and her friends would be interested in going to the American Idol Concert.

Five Ways to Give Back Through Social Media

WebMarketCentral

Focused as many of us are on our own companies' or clients' economic anxieties, it's easy to forget that downturns (or even the perceptions of downturns) hit non-profit organizations particularly hard. When money is tight, charitable giving is an easy, if unfortunate, area to cut.
