Why You Need 3C In A 3G World

At the risk of being accused of creating unnecessary acronyms in a business environment already asphyxiatingly full of them, this is my plea for you to think about 3C marketing.

No big secret here: I’m talking about Continuous, Coordinated Contact.

What I’m getting at is the importance of reaching out to your organization’s audience in many ways - or even better put, being well represented in all the places your audience might reach out to you — and making sure that there is consistency across all those touch points.

Your prospects (and your competition) will definitely notice if you haven’t planned for that consistency, if there’s a gap in your outreach. More than ever, shoppers are comparing your messages and offerings across multiple channels, and if they find a difference — or don’t find anything at all — you might lose them.

In the Battle for Eyeballs, Video Wins

Saturday, April 25th, 2009 by Reid Williams

It’s a cliché anymore to proclaim “content is king.” What is worth talking about, however, is exactly what kind of content can serve your web presence most effectively.

The “content is king” maxim arose over the past decade as web developers and marketers began to figure out what attracts and — more importantly — what captivates visitors of Internet sites.

Go figure: Turns out, web surfers want information they can use, entertainment and few barriers to get it (including paying for it), and they want it fresh.

The sites that do this best, though, are the sites that feature video. Here just a few of the statistics that show video conquers content:

  • Internet users now view more than three hours of online video per month. (Nielsen Online)
  • 62% of Millennials and 41% of Gen-Xers regularly tune in to video streaming sites such as YouTube. (Deloitte)
  • Video is 53 times more likely to appear on the first page of search results versus text pages. (WSJ.com/Forrester Research)
  • Time spent viewing online video is increasing between 12% and 15% monthly, growing at a rate twice as fast as television. (The Nielsen Company)

Has your organization considered developing video to engage your audience? Or put another way, can you afford to not produce video content in today’s hyper-competitive business environment?

Here’s an example of the  high-definition video production with which WELD has built its reputation:
