April 7, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

We all want to be new school and know the latest hit song (via iTunes). I wouldn't know what that was without looking it up because what I pay attention to the most are things I already love. While I'd like to be cutting edge, the songs that run through my head are more like "The Way We Were," if I'm feeling melancholy; "Sweet Home Alabama," if I feel good; or Madonna's "Like a … [Read more...]

Solving Marketing’s Seven Deadly Sins

April 7, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Busy corporate marketing groups can be so focused on tactics and firefighting, they jeopardize their marketing investment.

Marketers Know They Aren’t Calculating Digital Advertising ROI Correctly

April 7, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Marketers don't need to change the way they think. They just need new digital marketing technology and measures that conform to the way they think. Thankfully, while the old model for measuring the return on investment (ROI) from digital advertising falls short, a new model is gaining momentum. Digital marketing continues to incur an enormous amount of growth. The proliferation … [Read more...]

Lead Generation for The Next Generation

April 7, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

When you think of lead generation, do you think of: A co-registration checkbox that appears on the sign-in page of a website? Receiving a weekly file with the name and basic contact information for potential customers? Uploading those names into an e-newsletter database and then moving to the next item on your to-do list? All of the above? If you answered a., b., c. … [Read more...]

Marketers Need a Seat At the Revenue Table

April 6, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Who's in charge of revenue at your company? In most B-to-B companies, the sales department is the primary and exclusive owner of the revenue pipeline. Sales and revenue just seem to go together, so much that some people use the words synonymously - for example, "Last quarter's sales grew 10 percent." Marketing may play a supporting role by supplying leads (which all too often … [Read more...]

Rep Firm or Ad Network: Who’s King of the Digital Jungle?

April 6, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Leader of the Brand

April 6, 2009 by Chris Trayhorn, Publisher of mThink Blue Book

Effective branding creates and maintains relationships with customers; it's very much an ongoing, dynamic process. Email's place in that cycle must be one of regular and relevant communication in order to develop a connection with the consumer (frequency) and to ensure that messages don't languish in the recipient's in-box (relevance).
