Hello,

I just came across a great article from Marketing Profs:

http://www.marketingprofs.com/articles/2013/12019/improve-sales-change-your-marketing-approach-not-just-your-tools

Having the right marketing tools is just half the battle.  You must be in the right frame of mind in order to reach your full marketing potential.  This article raises a very important question; does your marketing approach match the needs of your target?  You need to be ahead of the game in a world that is evolving very rapidly.  In order to succeed, you need to be nimble and informed.  Being locked into traditional methodologies, or being boxed in by red tape can be the difference maker between success and failure.

Finding the right approach is difficult, and is often an exercise of trial and error.  Consultation with marketing experts and a review of best practices can help guide you in the right direction, but ultimately it is a study in understanding your organization, your products and solutions, and your target market.

This is not saying, however, that the tools are not important.  This is far from the truth.  Having the right set of tools can make all the difference in your marketing campaigns.  The right tools will enable you to implement your campaigns quickly, and measure their efficacy.  Having the right tools coupled with a targeted and well crafted approach is the recipe for success.

Astir Analytics has a wide array of solutions that can help guide you in the right direction.  Give us a call today, and we can discuss how Astir can help improve your marketing. (908) 279-8670 ext. 716.

Hello,

Marketing organizations, historically, have a difficult time justifying their existence.  It is very difficult to find a tangible measurement for marketing effectiveness.  Sales organizations can look to sales figures, staffing organizations can provide stats on placements, etc.  Marketing organizations are often unable to point to specific metrics that show a tangible ROI.

This is one of the areas Astir Analytics specializes in.  Astir Analytics helps marketing organizations understand the data available to them; and designs custom services and solutions that help quantify and qualify organizational impact.  Our services and solutions help leverage data and technology; providing the ability to measure marketing effectiveness.

Some of the services and solutions we have designed have enabled customers to measure campaign effectiveness, identify custom needs, manage leads, and improve their share of wallet.  We would love to work with your organization, and help you demonstrate your organizational worth.  Give me a call at 908-279-8670 ext. 716 so we can discuss how Astir Analytics can custom build services and solutions that improve your organization.

Data is the engine that truly drives our businesses.  Whether or not you actively collect and analyze data on your various operational tasks; you need to make inferences about performance in order to make the right business decisions.  Your strategies are shaped by how your teams perform, and how your departments operate.  Therefore, the data surrounding your business is critical to understanding how to increase efficiency and allocate resources.

Marketing professionals have a unique set of challenges to overcome.  The biggest and most obvious hurdle is driving more leads into the sales funnel for your sales team to convert.  A less obvious, but still significant hurdle (and possibly the most difficult hurdle,) is demonstrating organizational worth to stakeholders.  So not only do you have to execute your job, but you have to show the effectiveness of your efforts.

Marketing efforts can be difficult to quantify.  Other departments, HR, Accounts, Sales, Etc. have easily accessible, concrete output to point to.  A marketing department can roll out a highly successful campaign; and now have a quantifiable method to full understand that success.  In order to show tangible return on investment, marketing professionals can make use of analytics tools.  Provided that you can collect the data on your campaigns, manage the tools, and interpret the results, analytics tools can provide meaningful statistics on how effective your campaigns are, and who they are reaching.

Astir Analytics specializes in designing custom analytics tools for marketing and sales organizations.  The tools we have provided customers enable them to accurately measure the effectiveness of their marketing campaigns and understand exactly who is being reached.  Our business intelligence tools enable you to clearly quantify your marketing campaigns, and concentrate your resources.

I would love to explore how Astir Analytics can improve your organization, so feel free to give me a call (908) 279-8670 ext. 716.

Hello,

The vast majority of companies, both large and small, have websites nowadays.  In an effort to increase web presence, many are turning to multiple company webpages, product pages, social media pages, landing pages, etc.  Yet, even with all this hard work, many companies still struggle to see the fruits of their labor within search engines.  And although search engines are becoming smarter, it is imperative that you optimize your websites so they become more attractive to search engines.

In other words, your website content must become as smart as possible.

We here at Astir Analytics would like to share some Search Engine Optimization (SEO) wisdom with you.  Search engines are becoming very savvy, and it is important for your business to stay up-to-date on what is considered the best in practice.  although it can be extremely difficult to rank high in a keyword search, depending on your industry, market position, products, and a host of other factors; you can improve your ranking through a few simple steps.

It is important for you to create content that reads naturally, and isn't overflowing with keywords.  Search engine metrics are now smart enough to understand the natural flow of text, and can spot the over use of keywords.  Therefore, it is extremely important to write content with the reader in mind.  Additionally, bullet points are a wonderful tools, as they allow for easy reading, quick digestion, and are very search engine friendly.  

There is plenty of material out there concerning specific SEO tricks; ranging from keyword density, to meta tags, meta descriptions, and link usage... but one of the most useful tips I have come across concerns the optimal range of keyword density.  You want each webpage to contain a variety of keywords relevant to your products, services, clients, and your general audience.  The keyword density that I have seen the most success with for a single keyword is the range of 3-5%.  There are some wonderful free keyword density tools available, including: SEObook, keyword density, and my personal favorite, Live Keyword Analysis.

Web design and content is just one of the many areas Astir Analytics specializes in.  I would love to discuss how we can help your organization, so please give me a call at (908) 279-8670 ext. 716.

Everyone understands that you need new customers in order to grow.  In fact, this is the sole focus of most marketing and sales departments.  And I am sure as you are reading this, you are probably thinking to yourself... well, you are just stating the obvious.

I contend that if gaining new customers is the only focus of your sales and marketing departments, you are passing up a huge opportunity.  It is just as important to grow business with your existing customers as it is to find new ones.

Customer Relationship Management (CRM) is becoming ingrained in everyday business.  You need to know how to keep your current customers happy, so they continue to look to you in satisfying their needs.  This is where the title of our posting becomes important.  Your customers spend a certain percentage of their budget with you, and the rest with your competition.  You have a share of their wallet, and you need to understand how to grow that share before your competition does.

Astir Analytics has provided customers with custom solutions designed to increase their Share of Wallet.  We provide you with a greater understanding of your customers; so you understand their pain points, their gaps, and their needs.  In addition to helping you identify customer needs, Astir Analytics can go one step further and provide you with a custom "sales road-map" that matches your existing products and services with your customers' gaps.  

The services and solutions we custom develop for our clients integrate their unique business rules.  Using these business rules, we can develop solutions that fit perfectly into a clients' daily business functions; automating processes, improving efficiency, and increasing effectiveness.  If you would like to learn more about how Astir Analytics can improve your business processes, please visit our website at www.astiranalytics.com, or feel free to contact me at (908) 279-8670 ext. 716.
