What are the challenges facing businesses today, particularly when it comes to marketing and communications?
As the world has changed dramatically with new inventions and high tech communications, what are the challenges facing businesses today, particularly when it comes to marketing and communications?
In the 1950s business schools were teaching that marketing decisions should flow first from knowing who the customer is and what is it that they want. Once this is known, only then can a company or organization develop a marketing and communications process to sell their products or services.
A current definition of marketing/communication defines it as the business function that identifies unfulfilled needs and wants, determines which target market can be best served, decides on the appropriate products, pricing, promotion and placement to serve these markets.
Given that the underlying principles of marketing/communications (marcom) have not significantly changed the challenges then are no different than what businesses have always had to deal with. And they will likely stay the same for the foreseeable future.
What are the biggest challenges then? The first is to be able to clearly identify who your best prospects are and understand what they want. The second is to be able to effectively position your business against the competition. The third is to be able to select the right message and communication channels that will reach your selected target audience.
While the foregoing are the three main challenges there is another overriding challenge that has a huge impact on the development of a marcom strategy. In a nutshell that challenge is simply there is too much of everything.
Too many communications media to chose from, too may competitors, too many market segments, and too many options and opportunities.
It all sounds very daunting. However one thing that does not change is the importance of being able to focus on your goals and objectives. If you are able to articulate what you want to achieve and who you want to reach, then you can navigate your way through the multitude of options and opportunities that are being generated by today’s complex social environment.
The downfall of many companies, big or small, product or service-oriented, is the failure to be able to become memorable by distinguishing or differentiating themselves in the minds of their customers.
Today’s marcom tactics are focused on building relationships, and that is something else that has not changed. Relationships between two parties since the beginning of time are built on perception, mutual understanding and trust.
The key word here in the world of marketing and communications is perception. The challenge of your marcom strategy then is to ensure that your customers perceive you as someone they want to do business with. That they perceive you have something they need and want and most important that they perceive you to be the best choice to satisfy their needs.
The bottom line for today’s businesses is to be able to focus on who you are, what you do and how are you going to communicate with the people most likely to buy what you have to sell in the most effective and efficient manner possible.
Police conduct a search on a rural property using an excavator while looking for clues to the disappearance of Lindsey Nicholls.
Lindsey Nicholls was last seen walking on Royston Road on the BC Day long weekend in 1993. She was 14 when she went missing.
Over a two-day period last week, beginning Aug. 16, 20 forensically-trained police officers conducted a search and evacuation on a rural property based on a tip from the public. The results cannot be shared as the investigation is ongoing. “Somebody out there may know something, even if they believe it is minor or insignificant, that may assist in this investigation,” Island District RCMP Cpl. Tammy Douglas said in a news release. “We are asking anyone who may have information on Lindsey’s whereabouts or what may have happened to her to please call your local police or Crime Stoppers if you wish to remain anonymous.
“Next month would be Lindsey’s 38th birthday and her family is still looking for answers,” Douglas added.
At the time of her disappearance, Lindsey stood five-foot-three and weighed 110 to 115 pounds. She had green eyes and blond hair dyed with red henna. She was last seen wearing blue jeans, a khaki top and white canvas shoes.
Anyone with information regarding her disappearance is asked to contact the Comox Valley RCMP at 250-338-1321 or CrimeStoppers at 1-800-222-8477.
Contract is required. Half of the fee is due as a deposit, the other half is due when you receive your pills. Pick-up and delivery are free for those in the upper to mid-Valley areas. This package includes pills, cord keepsake, and placenta print (if desired). Typical turn-around-time is 24-48 hours.
Ingestion of the placenta is believed to have many benefits for mothers. The hormones, proteins, and vitamins in the placenta may help in reducing baby-blues, increasing milk supply and nutrient content, increasing energy levels, decreasing after-birth pains, decreasing lochia flow, and may promote healing. Encapsulation is the process where the placenta is steamed, dried, ground, and placed into capsules. This allows for the placenta to be used over the course of the first few months after birth.
It is the oldest-known and most commonly-used recipe for postpartum placenta preparation. The hallmark of this method is the steaming step. In theory, the process of labor and birth leaves a lot of open empty space, which is considered very yin, or cold. Therefore, one way we can promote healing during the postpartum period is to add yang energy, via heat. Yang energy is incorporated into the placenta using warming herbs in the water. The final result is a warming, townifying, and nourishing supplement for the postpartum mother.
1). I start with rinsing the placenta of blood clots, removing the cord, and draining excess blood from the vessels.
2).The placenta is steamed on each side over organic lemon, ginger, and chili pepper (these herbs are NOT added to the pills, they are in the water).
Understand that placenta consumption is not always possible. Certain high-risk pregnancies, blood-borne diseases, STD's, and bacterial infections make it unsafe to process and consume.
