ARE YOU INVESTING IN DIGITAL MARKETING?

Duda Owner IONOS • February 17, 2016

Digital marketing by its nature is an endeavor that never truly ends for the serious organization. Your business will build commensurate with your digital marketing investment. Of course, not every organization chooses to make that investment. The ones that do will be the ones that achieve the digital edge over the competition.

Last year Adobe issued its annual survey results on digital marketing. The report addresses this well-established dynamic:

There’s no finish line in digital marketing. The pace of change in how people live and work shows no signs of slowing, leaving most brands behind. . . .

Knowledge is never more powerful than in areas where it is scarce. Emerging digital capabilities give the companies that master them early a decided advantage.

Some of the tools that help profitability include mobile web analytics, real-time analytics, mobile app analytics, and predictive analytics. You may not be the guru on any of these tools, but you owe it to your organization to find someone who is. That is when digital marketing will help your company’s profitability as well as your profitability.

Honesty, honest,  honestly

We explore the overuse or inappropriate use of the words "honest," "honesty," and "honestly." Much of the overuse or inappropriate use of these words is in contexts that intrinsically message the audience that the speaker is not trustworthy. I call the overuse or inappropriate use of these words in this context HONESTY VALIDATORS because the speaker believes they validate the truth being spoken. We need a solution to this problem. My solution is to replace these honesty validators with CLARITY VALIDATORS. Instead of trying to be honest, try to be clear. Replacing "honest," "honesty," and "honestly," with "clear," "clarity," and "clearly," produces significantly more benefit to the speaker and to the audience.
