Marketing and branding differences

What is the role of marketing

The role of marketing is how to convey the image of a company's products and services. In terms of how to show your company's products and services, marketing is how to acquire potential customers.

Furthermore, it is considered that marketing is also useful not only for approaches to existing customers, but also for acquiring customers by creating and developing new markets.

What is the role of branding

Branding is directly related to increasing corporate value. Corporate value here means something that is difficult to represent with figures and money and can not be imitated by other companies.

For example, when the information that a new Toyota Prius is released is released, the reservation may be rushed. Consumers take these actions because they have an image of the company in the mind of the consumer.

Marketer focused marketing techniques

2. Content Marketing

Content marketing is a marketing method that attracts users who are likely to be customers of their services by providing valuable articles and videos to customers on their service sites.

3. Influencer Marketing

Influencer marketing is a method to have influential individuals in SNS publicize their products. In general, there are many cases where you provide your own products and have them post product photos via SNS. In addition, in the case of an event etc., there is also a case to have you post about the situation of the day.

4. Omni Channel

Omni-channel is a retail approach that emphasizes connecting without interruption the channels that customers can buy. Specifically, it means a marketing method that connects TV, radio, catalogs, and DM to Internet shopping without interruption.

What is the meaning of branding? Complete coverage of methods and success cases

Thanks! I am Nakae, a brand creator.


There are many people who say "What is branding?" And "How should I do branding?"



Especially in the current times, we can not think of business without ignoring the element of branding.


That's because now it is an age of over-choice that products and services with the same price, quality, functionality, etc. are everywhere, regardless of the industry.


For example, even if you select one hairdresser, you can connect to the Internet and you will find countless options.


And if you can not choose your own shop from the innumerable options, business can not be realized.


Branding is the ultimate method to get you to choose from the innumerable options.


If branding is done, customers will be able to choose because it is this company, because it is you.


Rather than price, features, quality, design, or concept, it is the strongest in the business that is chosen for this reason.


The reason for saying "Because this company" or "Because you" is not effective.


If you can brand,


It will not get caught in the price competition

I will not be troubled with attracting customers

Keep repeating

Business is stable and prosperous for a long time

Products and services will be sold at higher prices than market prices

Can be realized.


This time, I would like to thoroughly explain such branding, along with techniques and best practices, in just 7 minutes!


So let's get started!

Branding Summary

1. With branding

Well, first, I would like to explain "What is branding?"


1-1. Meaning of branding

Branding is literally the "method of becoming a brand".


So, if you want to understand branding, you first need to know what a brand is.


When I hear the word "brand" I remember the friends of the girl who likes "chanel".


Speaking of CHANEL, it is a brand that may have a feeling like, "Why is such a bag costing hundreds of thousands of dollars? How much is it cost?"


Chanel's bag

One time, at one of the stores in Chanel in Paris, he used to buy a bag he had been aiming for a long time.


But when I was heading to the Chanel shop I was looking for, I happened to find a shop selling bags similar to the Chanel bag I was thinking of buying.


She was interested, I went into the shop, I checked the design and content, but it is almost the same as the bag I wanted.


She wondered, when I asked the clerk, the shop's craftsman there was originally a designer from Chanel, and it seems that she was independent and opened this shop.


Well, the design is similar too.


And surprisingly, the price was a tenth of Chanel.


I was originally planning to buy a 300,000 yen bag for Chanel, but the bag sold at this shop was 30,000 yen.


In the sense of ordinary people, I think, "This is a buy!"


Because most of the design and contents are almost the same, and the price is so cheap.


But she did not get lost and bought a bag of 300,000 yen.


At that time, when I wondered, I asked, "Why didn't you buy it?"


"Because I am not Chanel"


What does this mean? In the bag , Chanel is the ultimate value for her .


So, no matter how similar the design is, the price is cheap, the function is perfect, but it doesn't matter.


"I don't like Chanel, I don't like it." Such a state is a brand.


No matter what the design is, what the function is, what the price is, but I will choose.


In other words, a brand is "a state of ultimate value for that person."


"Because this company," "It is you," it means that you are given a choice.


If you can create such a situation in your own business, do not you think it will be the strongest weapon?


Because they choose how high the price is, they will buy it regardless of what product is offered, and it will automatically choose it even if it does not convey much of the goodness of the product.


If you can create this kind of situation, there is no need to become a customer.


For that customer, "I can not find anything other than Chanel," so he will buy it without saying anything, and will always repeat it.


1-2. A big misunderstanding about branding

Frequently spoken in business books and seminars


The word "Branding" began with the branding to identify the cows


There is a big misunderstanding that the explanation of the origin of branding that is produced.


If you consider branding based on this word source, you may be able to define it as "a method that makes a difference with others."


And this kind of easy branding method is rampant.


Let's get your design cool

Let's take a picture with a famous person and give it to Facebook

Let's improve function and quality

Set your target and increase exposure with your ad

Let's raise the price

Ask the voice of the recommendation to the person of authority

Fake branding

But with this, I can not create a brand for a lifetime.


For example, even if you choose "design" for good, it is only for you to choose "design".


If you find something more design than your own, then the customers will flow.


In other words, even if you do such a work, you will not be chosen because it is "this company" or "because you".


Making a difference in design, enhancing quality and function to make a difference, and being selected is only " differentiation. "


Of course, differentiation is important because if you can't differentiate something in this era of excess choice, you will not be chosen, so it's important to differentiate, but above that is branding.


In other words, branding is not chosen by design, price or function alone, but by “this company”, “you”.


2. Three values ​​required for branding

Branding is, in other words, "a way to reach the ultimate in value."


So, in order to do branding first, we need to understand what "value" is.


There are three types of value:


Functional value

Emotional value

Self-expression value

It is what is necessary for branding to improve each of these three values.


Then, first we will explain each value.


2-2. What is functional value

First of all, I would like to talk from functional value.


Functional value is simply the basic value that the product gives.


In terms of images, it is about features and quality.


For example, what is the functional value of a smartphone is "I can call," "I can email," "I can take photos," and "I can see the Internet."


If it's a vacuum cleaner, it's "sucking," and if it's a bakery, it's "the taste of bread."


By raising this, people can choose.


Naturally, there are two high-end Italian restaurants, one with a Michelin-rated rating and the other with an easy-to-select choice.


Simply put, that's the principle.


However, there is an aspect that it is very difficult to differentiate only by functional value.


Because this functional value is naturally something that many peers try to improve.


If it's a cook, it's normal to stick to taste and ingredients, and if it's a designer, it's natural for professionals to enhance their design skills.


You can see that by looking at home appliances. Do you think about the washing machine?


If you bought almost anything in the present age, there is no big difference in what you can do.


I can wash my clothes properly, dehydrate and dry.


Functional differences may have some details, but from the perspective of amateur customers, the differences are mostly unknown.


As the industry advances and matures, the functional value will increase everywhere, so basically there will be no major difference, so it can not be selected by itself.


And, even if you can create unprecedented functional value, the information is readily available, so it's easily imitated.


For example, suppose that a smartphone that "does not need to be charged at all" is released.


This is a highly innovative smartphone, and anyone who uses it will dream of it once.


Probably, if it is sold, it will sell explosively. Because, such a smartphone has not come out yet.


In terms of functional value, it is the best.


However, probably, if employees of other manufacturers buy it and break it down, they know what is going to happen, so similar things will be developed soon.


Then, Uri who "does not need to be charged at all" will not be accepted, and will be involved in the competition again.


That is why it is difficult to brand with just this functional value.


However, I do not want to misunderstand that functional value is the minimum necessary to be chosen.


Even if it is a smartphone, you can't call, you can't mail, if you can't use the Internet, nobody buys it, so it's only natural to have functional value.


2-3. With emotional value

Therefore, it is part of emotional value that becomes important to be selected by customers.


Emotional value is, in a word, empathy .


What constitutes emotional value is


concept

story

character

design

The four elements of


Usually, products and services that are hit in the world are largely due to this emotional value.


2-3-1. What is the concept


First of all, about the concept.


The concept is, in a word, "What is it?"


This concept is exceptionally good, and there is a service that has been a hit, especially with young women.


That is a service called the Shooting Women's Association.


This is to choose your favorite dress from 100 or more dresses, receive makeup and hair set by professional hair makeup, take a picture in the dressed up state, and finally take a girls' party around the sweets It is a service that


Shooting Women's AssociationImage source: http://satsueijoshikai.com/


The shooting women's association was started by Asako Nakamura, a 23-year-old female college student at that time.


At that time, Mr. Nakamura was excited by glutton and walrus talks, and she seemed to get bored with the girls' association, which only had to eat and talk, when the girl's skin was wrinkled.


The service of the shooting women's association started with "Let's make it by yourself if there is no desired women's association".


The concept is "The heroine experience for you".


Such services did not exist before this shooting women's association appeared in the world.


However, I think many young women were getting bored with existing women's meetings as well as Mr. Nakamura.


That is why when this service came out to the world, it was chosen and supported by many women.



To put it simply, it is a concept.


Of course, I think that some women agree with this view of the world, and others are not.


But that's fine. Empathy is at the core of empathy.


It is because, by presenting such a view of the world, it is possible to attract people who resonate with it.


If you don't present a world view, no one will resonate, which is one reason to choose one.


2-3-2. With the story


Then, about the next story.


There is a wedding hall called “Aniverser” that used the story well and succeeded in attracting customers.


Aniversel has released a video called "The Amazing Anniversary Proposal-An Amazing Anniversary".


This video is a documentary video of the bride and groom who made a surprise proposal at the Aniverseel.



This video has been echoed on the Internet and has been played over 2 million times.


In fact, it was effective to watch this video and to say that 83% of the visitors came to Aniverser.


This is, so to speak, I told you the story between Aniversel and the customer.


Seeing this video, those who visited the museum should have thought, "If we also got a wedding here, we can have a wonderful wedding."


The fact that you just want to see this video is an emotional value based on empathy.


2-3-3. What is a character?


Well then, about the character.


This is the part "What kind of person?"


The first thing I can think of in a character is Shinichiro Kawazaki of Marukawa Miso.


For now, please try to play again. Lol



Mr. Kawazaki has been sending out the "Miso Channel" on Youtube, which is related to his company's miso.


I think that you can understand if you play the video, but you can see that this person really has a love for miso. Lol


When I first saw this video, I thought, "If you want to buy miso, I want to buy from this person."


In the world, there may be other companies with higher quality miso, but I would like to buy from this person, even more than that.


Moreover, because characters are a part that others can not imitate, if you can make good use of this, it will be a very big reason to be chosen.


2-3-4. With design


I think it's very easy to understand that design is emotional value.


For example, I think that there is a product that Apple has released, but many people choose this for design reasons.


Apple products

Even if you take one iPhone, what you can do is not much different from other smartphones.


May I call you

I can email

You can use the app

I can take a picture

I can listen to music

But the iPhone is overwhelmingly chosen among such smartphones.


There is even data that "we have more than 75% profit in the global smartphone market".


This is very big by design.


Design is an emotional value because it conveys the world's view visually in an instant and calls for empathy.


2-4. What is self-expression value

In branding, it is a key premise that you need functional and emotional values.


However, just increasing these two values ​​is a differentiation, but it does not reach branding.


As I said earlier, even if you hit temporarily, if you come out with something with a better concept, something with more functionality, something with higher quality, or something with a better design. Because it flows.


In order to become a brand, it is necessary to go one step further and enhance the "self-expression value".


What is "self-expression value" is "the way it is".


If this “style” is extreme, you can build a real brand.


For example, there is a company called "Ina Food Industry".


Ina Food Industry is a company that produces agar, and is a company that has risen to the top of the world as an agar maker with an 80% domestic share and a 15% global share.


Ina foodImage source: http://news.livedoor.com/


In terms of markets, the agar market is a declination industry (slumping right) that tends to shrink completely.


Nevertheless, Ina Food Industry is a miracle-like company that has continued to increase sales and profits for 48 years since its establishment, and has continued to raise employee salaries and bonuses.


It is about that Toyota Akio Toyota President will meet with Mr. Hiroshi Tsukakoshi for the fineness of its management.


Why did you so successfully prosper?


That is the way of management that Ina Food Industry has been doing since its inception.


The business philosophy of Ina Food Industry

Lead generation in MA (Prospective customer acquisition method)

BtoB marketing, especially the creation of business negotiations  from the marketing department to the sales department, acquired promising prospects for the company (lead generation), nurture the prospects acquired ( lead nurture ), prospects with increased buying motivation And pass on to the sales department (lead qualification). 
 Marketing automation tools automate these tasks, but even if you say "automation", it's not the case that the tools do all the work for you. In particular, lead generation, which is the first step in marketing activities, needs to be implemented on a continuous basis, separate from the tools. 
 In this article, we will introduce the know-how to efficiently implement lead generation, which may be called the entrance to BtoB's marketing activities.



Basic prospects acquisition method
 Lead generation (acquisition of prospective customers) is an activity to find and acquire prospective customers who can be targets for purchasing their products and services. Generally speaking, the flow of marketing automation starts from the point where the personal information of prospects acquired by this activity is put into the marketing automation tool. 
 So where and how do you get the key prospects?

3 customer attraction channels you want to curb
Channels for acquiring prospects can be roughly classified into the following three.

Offline marketing activities (events such as exhibitions and seminars)
Online Marketing Activities (Internet, Web)
Business card exchange in sales activities
Let's look at specific methods and know-how for each channel.

1 Earned in offline marketing activities
Representative measures for offline channels are exhibitions and seminars.

Exhibition exhibition
 It is a method that has long been used in BtoB in a way that exhibits company products etc. at an exhibition and acquires business prospects etc. by visiting prospective customers and acquires business prospects information. 
 The exhibition is based on industry-specific themes, so you can interact with the many potential customers of your company. Therefore, based on the premise that totally unrelated people will not arrive, the basic goal is to get as many prospects as possible during the period. It is often used to make small novelties such as ballpoint pens and notepads, get business cards in exchange for novelties, and request acquisition or filling in surveys.



 If you want to know more about attracting customers at the exhibition, please see this article. 
Those who are troubled at the exhibition must see! 【Confidential】 A great open source of tips for gathering potential customers at an exhibition

In-house seminar
 It is a way to hold a seminar on a theme that is likely to be of interest to your prospective customers. The seminar participation fee is set free of charge or at a low price of several tens of thousands of yen, and in exchange for the seminar attendance, the participants will provide information such as company name, name, contact information, etc. You will receive a business card at the entrance of the seminar hall, and you will be asked to write a questionnaire on your way back, and you will be able to collect specific information. 
 If you design a seminar that matches the needs of your prospects, you may be able to get high-quality prospects who are willing to buy. In addition, by actually communicating at the seminar venues, you can expect the effect of enhancing the sense of closeness to your company.

Co-hosted seminar
 This is a method of holding a co-sponsored seminar in collaboration with a company that handles products related to the company and related products. The method of collecting the participant's personal information in exchange for the participation fee of the seminar and the audition is the same as the case of the company seminar. Even if you use the same venue as usual, the goal for attracting customers can be halved if the two companies share it, and you can split the venue cost etc. 
 Also, the business advantage of hosting co-hosted seminars is that they can exchange prospective client information between their own and co-host companies. For example, if Company A, whose main product is Web site production, and Company B, which specializes in SEO measures, it is possible to gather layers interested in Web site creation and layers interested in SEO at the same time. Companies that are considering website creation may be interested in SEO, and there is a possibility that companies interested in SEO may consider website renewal. In this way, it is important to choose a company that can share the benefits of sending each other as a co-sponsor.

Participant satisfaction 99%! Popular seminar

2 Earn through online (Internet, Web) marketing activities
 It is a way to transmit information using your own website or SNS, etc., and to obtain information on the prospective customers you have visited. It became active with the spread of the Internet, and now it is used as a very general and important prospect customer acquisition method. 
 Usually, users who only browse websites do not become prospects as they are. This is because it is necessary to have contact information (personal information) such as company name, name, e-mail address, and telephone number in order to be put on the flow of marketing automation as a prospective customer. Therefore, it is necessary to have a device for the visitors to provide personal information. 
 Here are some of the ways in which many companies have actually achieved results.

Provide white papers such as industry information and know-how
 This is a way to create and provide white papers on themes that users who visit your company may be interested in. Make it available for free download from the website, and have the company name, contact person's name, contact e-mail address, etc. enter at the time of download. 
 Because white papers need to be of interest to prospective customers, you should spend some money on their creation. In addition to the fullness of the content, it is necessary to devise a device such as how to put a title that makes you think "I want to read!" If you have a lot of useful articles on your site, it is also effective to reorganize them by theme and provide them. 
 If it is difficult to create in-house, you may want to consider outsourcing to a company that specializes in white paper production.

Hold an online seminar
 This is a method of holding an online seminar that attracts the interest and interest of prospective customers, and the same as in the case of the above-mentioned white paper, in that the applicant's personal information is provided at the time of viewing application. 
 Preparation costs are higher than white papers such as assignment of seminar instructors, preparation of video shooting equipment, and development of a platform for seminar distribution, but those who attend online seminars that take a long time to watch are more likely than white papers It is likely that you will be more interested in your company, and you will be able to attract prospective customers who are willing to buy. You can also record an offline seminar and use it as an online seminar.

Provision of diagnostic content etc.
 Providing content such as "automatic quote form" and "free of charge ● ● diagnosis" is a way to help acquire prospective customer information. Similar to other methods, you are asked to enter personal information in exchange for using content. 
 For companies that handle consulting products, it is effective to provide such content in a position to "show off" some of the main products. For example, if a company whose main product is Web marketing consulting, it is possible to acquire prospective customer information and convey some of the attractiveness of its own service by providing a free website diagnostic service.

Posting to external media (such as lead capture ads)
It is a method of inviting articles to the company site by posting articles in an external media that attracts customers, or posting advertisements with texts and banners in e-mail magazines with many readers. As with exhibitions, you can expect to have contact with many prospective customers by selecting media that is highly compatible with your company. 
In addition, there is also a type of advertisement that acquires information on members of the media as lead information by using the media side mechanism. These ads can also help you reach new prospects that you can not meet on your own site.

3 Business card exchange in sales activities
 Finally, one important channel that is often overlooked, though important, is business card exchange in sales activities. A sales representative contacts many prospective customers every day. The business cards exchanged at that time can also be good prospect information. 
 For example, those who made a new visit but missed due to timing may be very promising prospects for the future. Also, there may be cases where one product is lost but it becomes a prospective customer for another product. 
 It would be ideal if such a prospective customer information could be collected from sales representatives and centrally managed by the marketing department. However, in a system where individual evaluation is determined mainly by sales performance, there are cases where sales representatives do not want to provide "the business cards they have acquired" to the marketing department. 
Therefore, it may be necessary to collect prospects from this channel, with the cooperation of executives and others, through company-wide efforts that assume seamless integration between sales and marketing departments.

Lead acquisition method to meet the customer attraction MA
 We have introduced the lead generation channels and specific methods for each channel. So what can we do with marketing automation in this process?

What is the lead acquisition method by MA?
 One of the strengths of the company is the acquisition of prospective customers via the Internet. With MA, in addition to acquiring real-named leads using web forms etc., it is possible to acquire anonymous leads using browser information. For example, in the case of SATORI, a private DMP (data management platform) is built in, so it is necessary to identify the visitor information from the advertisement or external site based on the cookie information of the browser and store it in the database as anonymous lead information. It is possible. As a result, it is possible to manage as a prospective customer a layer that can not acquire personal information such as e-mail address, and to develop marketing measures such as distribution of content according to the behavior history of the website and retargeting advertisement. . Also, if you can put a dedicated measurement tag on another company's site, you can also earn anonymous leads from there. 
 An anonymous lead that has been acquired is fostered using functions that allow the distribution of content according to the state of the lead, etc., and if guidance measures are taken to the inquiry form at an appropriate timing, a real name for which a specific approach is possible It is also possible to convert it into a lead. 
 Of course, personal information acquired in offline and sales activities can also be entered into the MA and linked with the browser to advance the behavior on the Web (reaction history on the website and reaction to measures). It has the advantage of making it possible to follow up measures, considering measures that will increase purchasing motivation, and making it easier to list the targets of the measures.

What are the key points in lead acquisition?
 If you have read this, you may already be aware that all the methods have in common: "provide what the prospective customer wants, and in return receive personal information." It's a good idea for marketers to know how to do this in a smart and not too explicit manner. 
 Similarly, it is important to sift through prospects earned by what you offer. For example, even if a car selling company holds a web marketing seminar, it can not get promising prospects. I would like to keep in mind the "squeezing down" at the planning stage so that you won't get a lead that will never be a customer and disrupt the marketing activities that follow.

The following content is available for those who have trouble finding leads and how to develop them, so please refer to them as well.

Five important point of order not to fail in the marketing automation (MA) transfer

Marketing automation tool (below, MA tool) Have you ever noticed leverage?


"Although I tried to introduce, it was not equipped with the required functionality ..."


"Not meet the budget feeling but a good tool ..."


- I think that some people, which is considered a transfer in circumstances such as.


The transfer of MA tools to efficiently proceed well, there are important points are a few should be holding. The point at which I would like you to note the time of transfer of MA tool in this article, together easy-to-understand and will introduce.




1) method of realizing the measures you want to do is, different settings by each tool

The first point of, are related to grasp the contents of the function of the MA tool means.


Unlike the concept in their respective companies to say that MA tool to bite, also there are differences in features that are installed along with it. Be the same as a function name, it is also unlikely that the ease of use is slightly different.




For example, in the case to switch to integrate from the state in which the use of the sales support tools and MA tool "A" (SFA) "B" to "SATORI", the corresponding status of the function will be as shown in the figure. By individual functions keep track of exactly how are you correspond, it will enable a smooth transition.


First, to determine the measures to be realized from their challenges and purposes, it in order to realize in the tool, which features of the transfer before the tool is let's figure out what to correspond to any function of the post-transfer tool .


It should estimate the number of steps it takes to 2) migration

It also related to the difference of the functions described above, but if you how to hold data in the tool after the transition and pre-migration tool is different, there often can take a long time to data migration before under preparation and the like. After the introduction, it seems that not a few cases that rise was delayed ... been slow to migrate going to start using it immediately.


For example, in "SATORI" is it has a feature called "segment" and "tag", but the concept is not unique. It was used to label the offline behavior such as "tag" primarily "visitors to the seminar" in "SATORI", "segment", as a function of grouping the user in the conditions of such behavior and user attributes on the WEB It has been defined. Concept of saying "tag" or "segment", may vary depending on MA tool. Let's know in advance that it is a high possibility that can not be changed easily put in the export and import. In advance to compare the two of data, you will need data cleansing tasks such as exclusion of the make up and the extra information of the missing information.


Do what information from the tool you are currently using can be output, what kind of information is needed on the destination of the tool on which to organize each, let's estimate in advance the number of steps required for data migration.


3) it should be prepared for initialization of scoring

Scoring for the MA tool is an important data, but the logic is different each in their respective companies. For this reason, it is the majority that can not be migrated scoring information accumulated so far in the transfer destination of the tool. Scoring Let advance recognized that there is a high possibility that would be initialized.


In the pre-migration tool, if there is a customized scoring logic in-house, take a screen shot of the setting screen, it is safe and keep ahead of the information in the form of O'have and leave as a memo.


4) takeover period, does not stop the measures by maintaining both of contract

If you make the transition of MA tool currently in operation, it is important to consider that you do not Shimawa stop the hand of operation. And that the tool can not be used it would stop the measures because, there is a significant risk of affecting business during that period.


Ideally, during the transition period, such as by double contract the old tools / new tool, it is where you want the device that does not stop the measures.




For information about how much should be the period double contract, it is the impression that you can rest assured and do not say unconditionally with the grace of about two months. A certain degree of effort estimation from the amount of data such as that managed by the current tool is possible, by, for example, trouble unexpected try to undertake emergency work occurs, what not a few may not proceed to estimate exactly.


I think whether budgetary concern, but which, let's estimate the preparation period with a margin to the extent possible.


5) confirmation of the contract period

Finally, it is also surprisingly important point to know the optimal contract period of the source tool.


For example, if the minimum contract period is trying to terminate one year of tool in less than a year, in most cases the penalty will occur. If it is or turns out you can not cancel the old tool after you have decided to introduce a new tool eye does not devoted.


Before deciding the introduction time of the destination tool, let's again review for sure contract of pre-migration tool.


 


Success in the MA transfer! The measures "Senshudengyo" went?

Practical communication scenario commentary (2nd): "single-lens reflex camera potential customers coupon program."

"Useful from today! ~ Practical communication scenario created sheet" sample scenario describes the second time I will explain the "single-lens reflex camera potential customers coupon program".

We picked up a "single-lens reflex camera" as a product to pick up. Because of the relatively expensive, also feel that I want you to look at the product information, it is a commodity it is difficult to determine the purchase on the spot. This coupon program has the effect to "boost the purchase decision" of difficult products so the "impulse buy".

"Customer diversification" era of marketing

The marketing "your understanding" is the basic premise
To do the "creation mechanism that products and services are chosen, sell", to purchase and choose the products and services the major premise is to understand the customers will be. And customer structure analysis based on the customer DB, data analysis, which is accumulated in the house, such as purchasing data access log, through market analysis, such as "3C analysis", it will need to capture the customer's issues and needs. Of course, since these data are merely "a result of your behavior" is the center of the data, for the "what if? What can promote such behavior" "Why? The took such action", if you do not build a marketing hypothesis in the customer's point of view, we believe that it is difficult to make the products and services (which want to buy customers) sell-chosen works.

"Customer diversification" era of marketing
Even though your understanding, does not so simple. Even demographic attributes such as gender, age, place of residence is the same, customers' face unique challenges and values and needs is each person. Let alone, Internet penetration and an increase in the user terminal, in response to the flow of globalization, in the modern "customer diversification" is accelerating, even if the caller the same message to the entire customers with mass advertising, such as television and newspapers, expected to obtain the reaction and is difficult, to include marketing results, "our customers to optimize the approach" it is becoming essential.

In the "customer optimization and marketing", or increase if the results and approach to the "individual customers" (strategy) in addition to, optimization of providing information tailored to the interests and behavior of individual customers (Creative) , number environment (technology) that enables the customer support is necessary, marketing of the "strategy and Creative technology" Trinity I think we are being sought.



Toward the "customer optimization marketing" practices
That customers have diversified is as described above, but also by your stage, your interests and feel value (benefits), such as information contact attitude and behavior motivation is different. In order to increase the marketing success, because the is possible to migrate the customers of each stage to the next stage is required, "marketing funnel" provided to each customer stage to take advantage of, what kind of value in any approach how to, how to identify high-estimated the degree of our customers, if you give a stimulus to our customers at any time, any way, any way, such as whether it is possible to arouse customer behavior, marketing communications ( It will be required to carefully consider and design the whole frame of the content and frequency, timing, etc.).

Changing the marketing approach for each customer per-customer stage, there is a limit to the human counterpart, but the utilization and marketing technology, if you can design a marketing entire frame based on the marketing funnel, optimized efficiently and effectively to customers consider the marketing or expansion is not made possible.

Will What is a "customer to optimized marketing" for everyone? What is by all means consider this opportunity to invite you?

The 1.Web marketing?
The Web marketing, is the marketing carried out by using the Web sites and Web services.

The importance of 3.Web marketing
Why Web marketing among the marketing is important for two reasons. 

First, Web has become a familiar presence, consumer (potential customers) is, compared from the information collection, there is a historical background that was more opportunities to touch the Web media among a series of purchasing activities of up to purchase. 

Also recognition of products and services, from where previously it was only from television and newspapers, CM and media of mass media such as magazines, increasing the chance that it is carried out Web advertising and Web content, through the SNS, and compared with similar products, purchasing decisions are now made actually reviews from people who use the products and services to browse the Web. The final purchase is also carried out in the EC site, purchasing activities will not be less the case that would complete on the Web all. It would also affect it came to online shopping can be performed more easily with the advent of the smartphone. 

Another reason Web marketing is important, is that Web marketing is an easy marketing technique the effect measurement. For example, touch the eye advertising is what people on the mass media, how much While it is difficult to figure out what was Could interested, impressions and clicks if Web advertising, such as the inflow number to the EC site, each measure you can understand the results in a numerical value for the index with the. 
By that enables effective measurement, then you are linked to the improvement of the measures carried out after the next time, it will tend to be budget-up in-house if Shimesere that effect is out.

Social media measures
Now it has become commonplace to take advantage of the SNS media in BtoB companies. 

Companies are there that are two to consider as a method of utilizing social media in Web marketing. One is advertising to the SNS advertising, it is another of companies account operation. 

As a major SNS, Facebook (Facebook), Twitter (Twitter), Instagram (in static grams), LINE (line), but there is such as, respectively, different characteristics of user trends and SNS function, its products and services and match it is important to choose the SNS to be. For example, Facebook is often real name registration, in the case of Japan, it is said to be suitable from that age of the user is also 30 to 50 generations often in promotion of the products and services of BtoB. 

And products and services (including the proposal of the applications), sale information, campaign information, adoption information, staff diary, current affairs story, such as a quiz, and the prospects and existing customers to continue to post for your company and products and services as a communication tool, let's use as a promotional tool. 

On the other hand, regardless of the presence or absence of SNS operations in-house, it is also important in flames measures in the SNS.

9. the migratory policy?
Even if the user visited the Web site, after seeing only the page, but that would be moved to another site called a "bounce", and bounce rate is high, you want to know the user of the page information will be also considered the case that away happy and everything, but when considering the conversion of the Web site, asked to browse the many pages of the possible Web site, asked to know more information about products and services, because there is a need to have with the reliability, measures that do not bounce is becoming important. If good migration of the Web site, we have an increasing number of nature and the entire Web site of PV and stay time. 

Specific migration policy is first that the structure of the Web site'll make the mesh link structure. Not from the hierarchy of the above only link to the hierarchy of the lower, or put a link button to the "breadcrumbs" and the bottom of the page above in the hierarchy, let's consciousness as a link if any related information to another page .


Method of inducing to the high evaluation page

https://mtame.jp/content_marketing/how_to_navigation_summary


User asked to migratory a Web site, in order to eventually lead to conversions, LPO, measures such as EFO is also required. Each, we describe in more detail below.



LPO
The LPO, which stands for Landing Page Optimization / landing page optimization ", the inflow destination = from the Web advertising, such as listing advertising landing page in order to conversion (anchor link to the relevant part of the lower part of the glossary) in, visited page to attract the user's interest, it refers to measures to improve the page so as not to be detached. 

Frequently the in-conversion in landing page, Quote, sample claims, is the purchase. Landing page, users Let's concise enough information to conversion. More specifically, for example, is required elements, such as the following.


The main visual, catch Koppi
Problem-defined messages, such as calling the user of empathy
Presentation of products and services as their solutions
Appeal of the features and strengths of products and services
Appeal of reliability (such as proof of experience, customers of voice-data)
Introduction benefits (discount, try Us Free, gifts, etc.)
CTA button (your application, such as a document request)

However, even if the much LPO, in the first place if keywords and landing page that was set up at the listing ads and SEO is if far from the contents to be provided to the user, does not decrease withdrawal rate. Review and of keyword selection, let's also consider measures such as preparing a plurality of landing page for each keyword.


WITH
The EFO stands for "Entry Form Optimization (input form optimization)," To put it simply, is that of measures to facilitate the form submission by entering the user the input items without feeling the stress until the last. 

In many of the Web site, so I think it is often to set the "Contact Us" as a conversion, only to improve the form, you can increase the conversion rate with a jerk. On the other hand, although I got arrived in the form to the user great pains made the migratory policy, where it ended up is disengaged to give the stress, everything will become to naught. 

Form, because it is one of the few means that Web site operators to obtain the personal information of prospects, but just as much information as possible you want, when we stand in the position of the side to enter, or often input items Komakaka' If you or become troublesome, there is also a possibility that stop in the middle of the form submission.

Can I use job rotation? Advantages and disadvantages of companies and employees

With job rotation

Basic job rotation

Job rotation is similar to personnel changes and relocation within an organization, but it is a measure that incorporates the purpose of personnel strategy and human resource development in addition to them. In recent years, it has been adopted by many companies regardless of the industry.

A system that allows employees to experience various types of jobs such as sales, accounting, planning and general affairs within an organization at regular intervals. Some departments may change, and some tasks in the same department may be changed.

The target may be specialized for new graduates or for senior management candidates within the company. 
Some companies apply to all employees, but job rotation targeting young people is more common than veteran seniors.

Purpose of job rotation

The purpose of job rotation varies depending on the type of target person, but it can be roughly divided into two.

One of them is to develop human resources. Includes training elements to experience different job types.

If you're a new graduate, you don't have to identify a department or job in advance and let it join you, but let's join and experience the work of various jobs in your organization after joining. You can then determine your aptitude, or decide the placement according to your intentions.

There are also job rotations for future executives to develop their skills and skills, promote corporate understanding, and empower their organization.

Another purpose of job rotation is to prevent the organizational duties of individuals from becoming individualized.

As work-life balance becomes more important, it is pointed out that the burden on employees is greater when there is a job that only certain ones in the company can do.

Even for companies, one of the risks is that there is no one who can do if the employee leaves the company. Some companies have solved this problem by incorporating job rotation and letting employees share their work.

How long is it appropriate

With job rotation in Japan, it seems that the time that an employee is engaged in one job is not constant. It depends on the company plan and the purpose of job rotation.

In the case of job sharing, job revitalization, or job rotation for inexperienced new employees, it is likely to occur in a relatively short period of time. Three to six months are common.

In the case of candidate human resources who will be involved in management in the future, it seems that there are many companies that have set a long-term rotation such as 1 to 3 years.

[Company-side advantage] Job rotation as a personnel strategy

Proper placement of the right person in the right place

Job rotation has the effect of improving the certainty of the right person in the right place.

By letting employees actually experience their duties, personnel and supervisors can assign employees to more appropriate duties. Not only can you prevent aptitude discrepancies, you will be able to give the person the right job, rather than just being appreciative before doing job rotation.

Network construction

If you work in only one department from the time you join a company, you often have less opportunities to interact with members of other departments that make up your organization. With job rotation, you can create exchanges between moving employees and accepting employees, regardless of department or job type.

Even if the department in the department is finished, it will lead to improvement of productivity that it becomes easy to take coordination in the business. If a good network is built, the internal atmosphere will also improve.

Enhancement of corporate knowledge

By experiencing every department and job type in a company, employees gain knowledge about their work. This will lead to more employees who have an overall understanding of the elements that make up the company.

It seems that it also evokes an idea that could not be conceived only with the knowledge of biased departments and occupations. You will be more aware of what you did not see, and it will be easier for companies to innovate.

Avoidance of mannerality

For many years, the same department, same members, and employees doing the same job may have a sense of mannerism and boredom.

Providing the opportunity to change the environment regularly with job rotation will be a good stimulus for employees. Learning new things and interacting with different people seems to be effective in human resource development.

Ensuring stability that small and medium-sized enterprises are substituted

In the case of a large company, the same task will often be performed by multiple employees. On the other hand, companies with a small number of employees may not have the manpower to assign several employees per job. The volume and number of small companies may be within the reach of a single person.

It is said that there is a risk in many ways that there is work in an organization that only one employee can do. By performing job rotation, it is possible to prevent internalization of internal business.

Having tasks that can usually be handled by one person and tasks that can be performed by other employees also makes it easier for employees in charge to take leave, and it also helps to establish a cooperation system during a prosperous period. It seems that there are places where business rotations are thoroughly implemented within departments alone.

【Corporate side disadvantage】 Cultivation and heavy job rotation

It is impossible to acquire work with a level of skill

With short-cycle job rotation, it is easy to learn superficial content for each job. In most conditions where the work you experience for the first time, in a short period of time it will be difficult to understand the deep part.

As the degree of learning is shallow, the scope of work is narrow, and you can only assign tasks with relatively low difficulty. In the case of industries or occupations that require high expertise and skills, job rotation seems likely to be a barrier to developing specialists.

Retirement risk of trained employees

One of the disadvantages is that there is a possibility that employees who have been trained with expectations in the job rotation may retire.

The higher the quality of the development strategy, the more employees will be aware of their career. The better people are the ones who can find their own way, and you may decide that your company is not on the way.

In addition, the inability to thoroughly master a single job type can be a factor causing employees to feel negative.

The range and degree of work, and the low level of discretion given to you, are likely to cause a reduction in motivation. There is no doubt that it is difficult to build confidence. If you think you got used to it, it seems that many employees are burdened with the cycle of moving to a new job and learning from scratch again.

[Employee side merit] Job rotation that oneself sees

Understand your aptitude in practice

Job rotation is an opportunity for employees to try inexperienced jobs. By actually engaging in practice, you will not only gain that knowledge, but it will also make it easier to identify the aptitude as to how much interest you have and how it suits you.

Rather than specifying one job from the beginning, it is also an advantage that it is easy to see the merits and demerits of each job by comparing with other jobs. In the case of new graduates who have no work experience in particular, it seems that the probability of leaving work is low because they are assigned to work with a high degree of satisfaction.

Relevance to career

By experiencing the different tasks in a company, you can get a perspective on the whole business. 
Understanding the work of other departments and being able to build a human network will become more necessary the higher the position.

Job rotation brings about diversification of work and people in one company. The kind and quality of your thinking and ideas will also change. There are many things that help the work results, and companies are expecting this point as human resources development.

The various experiences gained through job rotation are also useful in considering your own career. Especially for managers and managers, it will provide an important perspective. It is an opportunity to learn what you need to improve your career, even if you are not in the company in the future.

[Employee side disadvantage] job rotation unsuitable for professional orientation

It is also said that job rotation is not suitable for people who have their own fields of expertise or specialized fields that they want to excel in. Some may be reluctant to work in less relevant work.

Consult with personnel and your supervisor, and if it is likely that you will be circling, let's take it into consideration as well. Even if it is a corporate system, it is also important to think on a self basis.

Problem of job rotation system

Employees who do not have their own career plan will only be relegated to the personnel system.

It is important that companies do not allow job rotation just to make employees experience the department and operations. Make sure that you have a well-developed training plan and how to proceed in a way that helps each employee's aptitude recognition and skills development. You may need to set up flexible rules to take full advantage of the benefits and eliminate the disadvantages.
