White Label Online Marketing and White Label Social Media

White label online marketing otherwise known as white label digital marketing or reseller digital marketing, is a new term being thrown around to describe a burgeoning industry. These days, the average business owner has several needs with regard to his online marketing efforts. He’ll need a Web Designer, a Copywriter, a Search Engine Optimization Expert, a Social Media Consultant, and an Online Marketing Services Professional. Most companies outsource this work to individual entrepreneurs, rather than paying salaries, bonuses, health insurance, and training costs for additional employees. They are looking for a company that can do it all. But what if you are just a web designer or just an SEO guy? How can you offer more value to prospective clients and give them the total package? That’s where white label online marketing comes in.

Top 8 Ways Shoppers Will Use Mobile Phones On Black Friday

Up to 140 million people are expected to shop online and offline from Black Friday through the weekend, according to the National Retail Federation. While this may sound like a huge number, it actually represents a decline of 5 percent from last  year s projection. Analysts say consumers are likely to see bigger discounts this year, but the fiscal cliff and sequestration will dampen shopper enthusiasm slightly. One area that all experts agree will boom is mobile shopping. In 2011, 14.3 percent of shoppers used their mobile phones to access a retailer website. Last year, this number jumped to 24 percent. It s expected to climb to as high as 44 percent this year, according to MarketLand. Mobile shoppers aren t just clicking buy from their phones, however. There are many more uses for a smartphone on Black Friday this year. 1. Look up information and customer reviews while in store. Consumers still like to look at and touch items in-store.

8 Digital Ways You Can Help The Victims Of Typhoon Haiyan In The Philippines

Typhoon Haiyan (known locally as Typhoon Yolanda) ripped through the Philippines from November 3rd to 11th, achieving the infamous title of strongest tropical cyclone to make landfall. Twenty-foot storm surges and wind gusts of 195 mph left behind a path of total destruction throughout Tacloban, Leyte, Cadiz City, Guiuan and Busuanga. (Keep in mind, Hurricane Katrina had winds of 175 mph.) The official death toll is up to 1,866 confirmed, but is expected to rise to more than 10,000 by the time all the bodies are recovered. An estimated $865.4 million in damage has been done, but the biggest task ahead is getting food, water and supplies to the 11.3 million people affected by Haiyan. According to the UN, this includes 673,000 people who are now displaced, with nowhere to live. Thankfully, social media and internet resources have made it easier than ever for people abroad to send aid. 8 Digital Ways To Help Typhoon Haiyan Victims Image Source: VOANews.com 1.

Mod Girl Marketing Offers Tips on Timing a Business Rebranding

Mod Girl Marketing provides a well-timed, rebranding overhaul for businesses looking to update their image to one that better reflects their brand vision.San Diego, CA -- (SBWIRE) -- 11/07/2013 -- “Rebranding a company can be a powerful game-changer… but only if it’s done at the right time,” Mandy McEwen, owner of Mod Girl Marketing says in her blog Rebranding A Company – When Is The Right Time? “An ill-timed rebrand has hurt sales and company image among consumers.” Examples she gives are Coca Cola and Gap, big-name companies, who made a small change and saw waves of consumer backlash for their efforts. In these cases their poorly timed efforts cost them millions. But like many things in life, timing is critical to rebranding.

What Businesses Can Learn From Britney Spears On Re-Branding

Britney Spears first captured America s heart as an innocent, adorable youngster on the Mickey Mouse Club, alongside fellow superstars Ryan Gosling, Justin Timberlake and Christina Aguilera. Before long, she was strutting her stuff as a good-girl-gone-bad in provocative music videos like a young Madonna. After a rocky road of drug abuse, postpartum weight issues, a shaved head and shamefully public court battles, it looks like Britney is back in the spotlight with a whole new image. The pop star proves that rebranding can be a valuable tool for artists and businesses alike. The New Britney Jean This year, Britney will soon release her 8th studio album, titled Britney Jean. The songs caught the attention of Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas who booked her for a 100-show residency through 2015. With this album, Spears told fans, I want to show you a different side of myself. Her lyrics are more personal and relatable, she says, and the collaborations she s done along the way have created

Rebranding A Company – When Is The Right Time?

Rebranding a company can be a powerful game-changer but only if it s done at the right time. In some cases, an ill-timed rebrand has hurt sales and company image among consumers. An important adage to remember is If it ain t broke, don t fix it. We shouldn t tinker with time-honored tradition simply for the sake of boredom. Do you recall these recent examples of rebranding gone wrong? In 1985, Coca-Cola tried to introduce New Coke, a new recipe for a younger generation. Strong consumer backlash forced the company to revert back to Coca-Cola Classic after just 77 days and $4 million. In the late nineties, British Airways changed the classic Union Flag on its tail-fin with a series of ethnic designs from around the globe. Margaret Thatcher famously draped her handkerchief over a model airplane sporting the new look and called it awful. The following year, they ditched their much-criticized design and replaced it with a red, white and blue Union Flag that was more akin to the British id

8 Obstacles Online Entrepreneurs Face

It s okay. We ve all done it. We ve all kicked our feet up on the desk and imagined what life would be like working for ourselves. We picture whopping paychecks, skipping out early on Fridays if duty calls, coming in late so we can get the kids off to school, borrowing from our own personal piggy bank, working alongside people who share our passions, and finally being able to call all the shots. Of course, we soon find the reality is that we re working longer hours than we ever thought possible; continuously feeling frustrated and disappointed in other people; wolfing down fast food morning, noon and night; and pushing our sanity to the brink. Here are the top eight obstacles online entrepreneurs face. 1. Time Management There are many distractions in the online entrepreneur s workplace.
