We are creatures of habit. The forces that shape our daily interactions with both the culture at large and with fellow citizens and consumers is quietly shaped by unseen forces. Why is this product featured on this billboard or that product featured on this online banner ad? The placement of a product is the first step in marketing a product. We act upon that which we see, which is a very powerful insight into not only human behavior, but also selling goods.
How a product is marketed can mean the mercurial difference between success and failure. Moreover, who the product is marketed to can make or break a campaign. Structuring a campaign so that it appeals to specific cultures or ethnicities has proven highly effective for such products as pay-as-you-go cell phones, international calling cards, and even money transfer services.
The first step in a successfully marketing campaign is understanding who your target consumer group is. This kind of statistical information can be generated by certain algorithmic programs or by professional agencies that specialize in this kind of ethnic and behavioral profiling. Understanding what your target demographic buys and what they respond to can vastly improve your chances for selling your product.
Merely relying on traditional media (like billboards, magazine ads and fliers) is fighting a fight with one hand tied behind your back. Indeed, given the soaring marketing power of online media, it may be more like fighting with one arm and leg bound up. The speed and reach of online marketing strategies are phenomenal. An effective campaign should more eggs in the online basket than traditional media, something along the lines of a 60/40 split.
Selling is a gradual process. The first step towards selling is being seen. Being seen means being placed. Being placed requires a wise investment of capital and an appealing branding campaign. Trying to sell yesterday's soap to tomorrow's market is a sure-fire loss. Indeed, it may still be yesterday's soap, but if it is at least packaged in tomorrow's colors, it can be marketed successfully.
