Introducing Marketing Strategist Philip Kotler.

This video was part of a talk given by marketing strategist Professor Philip Kotler to the London Business Forum.

Professor Kotler begins his talk by inventing an acronym on the spot: CCDVTP.

He defines that to mean:

Create, Communicate, Deliver Value to a Target market at a Profit.

• Create value-product or service management
• Communicate value-brand management
• Deliver value-customer management
• Product--how do you brand the product

Now a business is really involved in three businesses--product management, brand management and customer management

• Product management  used to take place all your company. Following engineering an idea, you made things and  asked sales to get rid of them. Product management now takes place inside and outside of the company—open innovation

• Brand management used to mean packaging, name, logo. Now it is what business is all about. Brand management inspires everything you do. This is a new direction.  In the past brand management was just mind share and heart share, now brand management includes spirit share. Businesses show that they are more than just concerned about their own interest. They show that they care for rest of world-corporate responsibility.

• Customer management is not just keeping a data base of customer, even with email and direct mail. No, now getting to know customers and know them beyond data base. Asking customers help to co-create products and advertising.

Professor Kotler ends by saying, "This is a radical change in marketing."

I have been stumbling over the words “internal”, "inbound" and “outbound” for the last few weeks and it seemed that no one could explain why. I have finally figured this mystery out.

There are “internal, inbound and outbound links" and “inbound and outbound marketing”. Links and marketing are entirely different things with the some of the same words just made to trip people up.

Here are the tricks: Links refer to sites that are not on the current blog post. Marketing is about how we send out the message that we have a product or service for sale.

 

 

Digital Marketing for Everyone - The New Normal

 

• "Internal links" are links that go from one of your website pages to another of your own website pages. This week I learned that each blog post is a website page and you are more than welcome to link your current blog post to previous ones that are written along the same lines. You can also link to pages that tell about your website, your services, your contact information, in fact anything at all having to do with your website.

• An "internal link" is different from an "inbound link" which Wikipedia says refers to what we have been calling backlinks—links where someone links to your page, or where you link to someone else’s website. According to Wikipedia,  “Google's description of their PageRank system, for instance, notes that Google interprets a link from page A to page B as a vote, by page A, for page B. So an inbound link is a vote for your page, whether from another of your pages or from someone else.

• "Outbound links" within your blog are websites that you quote from that are not a part of your website. Yes, this sounds like just what I said for an inbound link that comes from an outside source to you, but in this case you are giving credit within your blog to an outside site, just like I did with Wikepedia. They did not vote for me by leaving a backlink. I used them to give credit from the outside to what I have written to improve the credibility of my blog.

When it comes to inbound marketing, content is said to be King. If that is true, then content distribution is the Royal Chariot! So what works best to get seen?

One of the often misguided bits of content marketing advice that get passed around is that if you simply create good content, you can drive traffic to your website. While it is true that creating good content is absolutely essential for content marketing, it is only the first part of the equation.

You need great content for a successful content marketing campaign. But great content alone isn't enough. You have to build an effective distribution strategy to make it work.

Your brand can be communicated, enhanced and built through your content marketing efforts. But it's not enough to simply produce great content that reflects and embodies your brand. Somebody's got to see it!

Content creation is critical for building your brand with content marketing, as we established in the first part of this two-part series. But simply publishing a blog post or uploading a video isn't going to cut it. If content is king, as we believe it is, then distribution is the royal chariot!

Creating great content is the foundation of a successful content marketing strategy. But expanding the reach of that content beyond your company website is critical.

Social media has almost eclipsed the Internet landscape with it's obvious popularity. This is good news for businesses utilizing an inbound marketing strategy.
