Is This the PR You Thought You Were Getting?

And where you do so by persuading those important external folks to your way of thinking, then move them to take actions that help your department, division or subsidiary succeed?Yes, that’s right, it’s where you use the fundamental premise of public relations to produce external stakeholder behavior change – the kind that leads directly to achieving your managerial objecti

Writing Grant Proposals that Win is Just the Beginning
When I wrote my first grant proposals, I sat in my classroom brainstorming-- alone. I’d peruse the latest grant application and dream up appropriate, but complicated, enrichment activities for our students. Saturday programs, life skills sessions, and excursions to Broadway would be the panaceas to transform the lives of young adults with disabilities.When I won grants for such projects, I became a one-woman show. I had to figure out all the details required to pull it off. At times I had to cajo

The 800-pound search engine gorilla is at it again, shaking things up in the virtual world. This time it's extending the reach of Adwords -its billion dollar contextual advertising system -to mobile devices.

Google's new Mobile Ads system delivers two short lines of text and a third line containing a destination URL (and an optional "call" link that dials the advertiser's business) to mobile phones and wireless PDAs. The text-based ad can be used to target mobile users in the United States, the United Kingdom, Japan, and Germany.

From an advertiser's perspective, Mobile Ads is used in conjunction with Adwords. So, when someone searches Google from a PC the advertiser's Adwords ad appears, but when searched on a mobile device the Mobile Ad appears. The advertiser should have a mobile-enabled website or landing page (written in XHTML, WML or CHTML), but theoretically Mobile Ads could be used simply to put a local business' phone number in front of mobile users.

Now hometown advertisers can use Mobile Ads to lure prospective consumers to make local and, most importantly, impulse purchases.

Imagine a shop that advertises a time-based neighborly discount of 50% to local mobile users, who in turn drop what they are doing and head to the advertiser's shop to make a purchase. Think of the possibilities for neighborhood businesses.

Google Ads is a giant step for location-based services.

Of course, it's not as good as an advanced location-based service that uses embedded chip technology to send subscribers targeted discounts based on proximity to a shop -but, it's nonetheless great that Mobile Ads can entice mobile users to pursue locality-based offers.

However, there are some general limitations.

First, even the most brilliant copyrighters/marketers would be hard-pressed to squeeze "motivation" into just two lines of text with 12 characters each. Second, mobile devices may not be conducive to the sort of on-the-spot analysis that most of us do when an offer interests us. We open another browser to search for alternatives, reviews, competitors, coupons, and other things to evaluate the offer -and even bookmark the advertiser's site for follow up evaluation.

Equipment Maintenance

Generating Publicity: Will The Media Be Interested In My Product/Business?
When it comes to launching a new business or product, some marketing consultants might say that EVERY product is appropriate for a publicity or media exposure campaign. That is true to a degree, but as a PR/publicity professional and former media person, I would qualify that statement by saying that although new products would benefit from a solid publicity campaign, not all businesses or products and their pitches will grab the attention of the media.A number of strategically generated features

Mortgage Marketing and Advertising: A Material Approach to Realtors
In the mortgage business, your service is intangible. A realtor cannot smell, touch or feel your service. Many loan officers struggle with this. You depend on your words to convince realtors of your worthiness. And realtors are quick to judge if they’ll even entertain the idea of getting to know you.Have you ever heard the objection before from a realtor, “I’m happy with who I’m using now!” And worse yet, have you ever heard that objection in the first minute of an initial conversat

In addition, people seem to use mobile phone searches primarily for amusement and to alleviate boredom. So, they would be searching for things like celebrity information, jokes, horoscopes, games, sports, techie info, and ringtones. Indeed, at least one major study of mobile search behavior (by Google, Columbia University and Carnegie Mellon University) supports this theory, indicating that many mobile phone searches relate to adult, entertainment and tech info. While there is evidence that wireless PDA users do search frequently for "local services," I am not sure it's prudent to assume they are also making purchases or visiting local merchants as a result of a search.

So, where does that leave us overzealous web owners?

If you own a website that offers "sticky" mobile content you could consider selecting the Mobile Ad option the next time you run an Adwords campaign. If you don't offer mobile content, well, maybe you could use this as an opportunity to get a mobile-compliant website or landing page.

However, you might hold off on using Mobile Ads if you are looking to promote an ecommerce-based service -and especially a non-impulse service!

Of course, if you have an impulse or content offer I would start using Mobile Ads while the cost-per-click for various keywords is still low due to the newness of the program.

Finally, I should note that many wireless carriers have advanced location identification chips buried in their mobile handsets in order to meet the Federal Communications Commission's E-911 public safety requirements.

It will be very interesting to see if Google finds a way to use that technology to further expand its services to include targeted, location-based advertising.
