Search Engine Advertisement isn’t rocket science, but is can get complicated enough. Efficient use of the available advertising budget should have highest priority. But there has to be a clear structure right from the start for this, e.g when it comes to multi-client centre accounts.

You have to identify the relevant leaver and make the right controlling decisions. This happens on the basis of enough data, which should be the foundation of every well-planned AdWords campaign. Multi-client centres (MCCs) can be helpful here for instance, as they also help you get a good overview. But what else does a successful AdWords campaign have?

Facebook, Twitter, a little Google+ and maybe Pinterest or Instagram – these are the normal tools of social media managers. But if you take a look in the future or just outside the box, entirely new ways of communication between customer and company open up. Reddit and Snapchat are the channels it will come down to in the future.

Yet these services couldn’t be more different. Reddit, as self-named home page of the internet, has existed mainly as an important news source for geeks since 2005. Snapchat, on the other hand, has been mixing things up for generation Y for 2-3 years. What began as a sexting app, slowly but surely developed into a serious marketing platform, which will mainly find application in real time marketing.

Processes and Roles in Digital Trade

Social CRM, personalisation, behavioural targeting, big data – it feels like not a week goes by, especially during the CeBIT, without a new buzz word on the topic of digitalisation. Every term focuses on a partial aspect. At the end of the day, the common denominator is that they all aim to address the customer more effectively and personally. The customer experience is the sum of all the buzz words.

The digitalisation of the purchasing process makes it possible to tailor all processes to the customer experience consistently. Data allows the customer journey to be represented digitally, measured across all channels, and analyzed. At least, it is technically possible; trouble free implementation is still a fantasy of the online marketer. However, the plethora of communication channels results in a faster customer connection than ever before. The decisive factor is whether or not a company does something with this, and how organisations react to customer requirements which have come to light.

Whether or not you believe the hockey stick scenario in e-commerce or prefer to hold with the statistics – one thing is it clear: things are just getting started, at least as far as the strategic development and innovation potential is concerned. E-Commerce is still a young branch and a relatively new business model. Its proportion of the entire B2C trade volume is only around 10 percent at the moment. If you apply the concept of critical mass, we are on the verge of a breakthrough now.

Netfind: Why does the new Macbook only have a 480P camera?

Warning: Undefined array key 0 in /var/www/html/wp-content/themes/dotsource/functions.php on line 1070

Addmittedly, with an “Apple introduces its new stuff” week, we had it easy with our search for a new netfind. That is the advantage when there is a product which is as polarised as a 10,000 US dollar smartwatch whose battery only lasts 18 hours. The new MacBook isn’t like by everyone either. Most of all, the lack of ports is the reason for the controversial debates: future or nonsense? An interview with an Apple designer explains why the new MacBook only has one port and a 480p camera.

And naturally the iWatch had its turn. The best Memes can be found here.

Kid Commerce: who thinks about the children?

Kid Commerce“Whinge wares” – the products right in front of the check-out at the supermarket where you always have to wait a few minutes. Even if you have managed to successfully avoid the lolly section, your ankle-biter will now sit up and take note. He or she will want, demand, a Snickers, Mars or Milky Way. Now Amazon and Google have realised that children react to such impulse products.
