"Organic Growth" Is A Valuable Marketing Strategy, Just Not Enough By Itself

Just what is an “organic” strategy? By some definitions, it is an inbound marketing strategy, centered around word of mouth and through engagement. But MarketingTech founder Douglas Karr does not believe it is enough. Karr is also the president and CEO of DK New Media, and as he described, at least one client has invested marketing dollars in just the one strategy—organic growth. Karr likened an † [...]

Facebook alone enjoys broad adoption across age groups and genders, reports Netpop research. As MarketingProfs described the findings, “Other social media sites do not have such ubiquitous appeal." Using women as an example, Facebook's penetration is about 90% among socially-networked adult Americans, and about 92% for networked women aged 18-34; and 35+. But YouTube is far mo  [...]

Sunset for Company Blogs? Perhaps, But Blogs Still In Demand for Content

It is difficult to believe that anything worth saying can be said in 140 characters or less. A USA Today story observes that a number of U.S. companies, Bank of America included, are abandoning the company blog, in favor of the “nimbler tools requiring less time and resources, such as Facebook, Tumblr and Twitter.” An interesting turn of events: As of 2008, blogging was seen as the  [...]

Why is Facebook's Growth Stagnating?

The guessing games have begun over the news that Facebook's growth stagnated in June - with privacy fears, market saturation and the dwindling popularity of social games fingered as the culprits. After growing by 7.8 million new active U.S. users in May, Facebook added only 320,800 new users last month. Total number of active U.S. users now stands at 125,000,000, Facebook claims. Saturation?

Consumers Follow Facebook Referrals - Except When They Don't

Not only are social fans more likely to buy and recommend brands, but their friends are also likely to follow suit. So says new research from Morpace finds that more than two-thirds of Facebook users would take a Facebook friend’s referral of a product or service seriously enough to consider actually purchasing it. The degree of this finding, though, is impacted by the Facebook user’s racial and ethnic background, the study also found,   [...]
