Branding is the process that aligns the opinions people hold about your brand with the set of thoughts you want them believe and trust. As you develop your brand, follow these steps, in this order:

1) Determine what you’re branding and whether your brand will be your one and only or one of several brands in your organization.

2) Research everything there is to know about your product and the market in which it will compete.

3) Position your brand by defining what makes it unique and how it will slot into an available space in the market and in your customers’ minds.

4) Define your brand by stating what it stands for, what unique benefit it provides, what value it promises to deliver, and the image that will permeate everything from your marketing communications to your product design, business character, and consumer experience.

5) Develop your brand identity, including your brand name, logo, tagline, and other brand signature elements.

6) Launch your brand, internally first and then by announcing it via publicity, social-media advertising, promotions, and presentations.

7) Manage your brand by understanding and leveraging your brand’s value, by protecting your brand through usage rules and legal rights, and by delivering an unfailingly consistent and positive brand experience that creates allegiance among those who represent, choose, and remain loyal to your brand.

Monitor, evaluate, and update your brand to keep it relevant and credible in light of changes to your business, your customers, or your marketplace.

The 26 year old co-pilot of the ill fated helicopter that crashed into the Lagoon yesterday, Peter Bello, (pictured above) is yet to be found. After 4 persons were confirmed dead while 6 rescued alive, the search has continued as men of the National Emergency Management Agency, NEMA are at work. However Peter and one other person in the 12- seat helicopter are yet to be accounted for as they have not been found by divers.



Reports say they were coming from the Niger Delta where they had gone for an oil-related inspection and were heading back to Lagos when they suffered the mishap. Friends say Peter, who is also a media photographer, had been planning for his sister’s wedding which is to hold soon.


Mods do the needful

Op you again?

So my bestie has been crying all night and there's nothing I can do to console her.

Just yesterday, she told me that her boyfriend has been bringing DIFFERENT girls
to her apartment (the house she pays rent and she furnished the apartment) and he sleeps
with those girls in the same apartment. Now she's heart broken.

Please what can she do to the guy? as she wants revenge...

You probably already know a few things about social media marketing that will stand you in good stead. Start with these marketing basics and work from there to create a social media plan:

* Create a hub website or blog with a domain name that you own. Social media lets you cast a wider net for your products or services. Ultimately, you still need to drive traffic to a core website or blog for additional information or purchasing.

* Develop a standard set of eight keywords or phrases and a page description for search engine optimization. Just like you optimize your website, optimize your social marketing content and profiles. Use the same description and terms over and over to improve your ranking on search engines and to appear higher on internal search results for each social media outlet.

* Plan your marketing and work your plan. Like with all other forms of marketing, your decisions are driven by your target audience. Market on the media outlets they use. Before you actually do anything, define your market, establish your goals, and decide how you will measure success.

* Keep it simple! Unless you have many people on your marketing team, you need to keep your social media efforts under control — or they will control you. Generally, you get better results by posting more often on a few sites than posting occasionally on many sites. Create a simple monthly schedule of activities that includes posting somewhere at least weekly.

One of the most important skills any meeting and event planner must have is the ability to negotiate. Few things are set in stone, so unless you're planning an event around the Ten Commandments, you can negotiate price, perks, contract language. The basic rules of negotiating include the following:

• Start with a plan. Know exactly what you want.


• Do your homework. Understand the value of your business.

• Be methodical and meticulous. Make careful notes of everything discussed and agreed upon.

• Use bargaining power. Have another supplier in the wings to help influence negotiations.

• Avoid vague and confusing language.

• *Question preprinted contracts.

• Read the fine print.

• Insist on shared responsibility. Avoid any agreements that are one-sided.

• Assume nothing. Ask questions, more questions, and still more questions.

• Exercise silence. Be a champion listener.

One word for this guy

Nedu is a manager in ( we will call the company X). He was recently transferred from his dept to head a new Dept, aviation.

As a manager, Nedu earns excellent salary, with all he perks of office. Lives on the Island, official car, etc. He is married with a kid.

Nedu went to Kenya for a training/course, not unusual in the oil/gas industry. When he arrived Kenya, he got there with his wife & child.

On getting to the hotel, he was told there was no arrangement for pairs, as the company booked & made arrangement for only him.

He was told to pay for upgrade if he wants his wife and kid to be accommodated. Greedy man, he stupidly claimed he didn’t come with cash.

Mistake number one was made. A call was made to the MD of CompX in Kenya, who in turn called MD CompX in Nigeria to report the issue.

When the MD in nigeria was notified, he called Nedu and asked why he had to go to Kenya with his family when he was sent alone?

Nedu claimed his family is young family blablabla. His MD was shocked. It was just a few days course not a year furlough…

Sadly the call to Nigeria triggered a hidden problem. The MD in Nigeria, an European by the way, recalled that Nedu recently had a query.

Perhaps the MD might not have recalled the query, but a foolish man would always think himself wiser than everybody…

Just paying $50 per day to upgrade his room might have helped but Nedu didn’t want to pay. CompX in Kenya was asked to pay & upgrade him.

ComX in Kenya paid on the understanding that Nigeria will reimburse them since arrangements were not made for more than one person.

you would think Nedu was done with folly, naaa, the idiot had more stupidity up his sleeves… Upon returning to Nigeria after the course.

Nedu tendered receipts for taxi & other in-country cab expenses, unknown to him, his hotel escapades had made both MDs to talk about him.

The Kenya MD informed the Nigerian one that they picked Nedu up with a company car at the airport and also dropped him off when he left.

He was made to face a disciplinary panel on charges of fraud and forgery. Recall that he might have or might not have alerted his boss.

In nigeria if he had simply left his wife at home for just a few days or paid for her hotel bill, but his “smartness” exposed him.

To cut a long story short, Nedu was fired for forgery, the MD said he might have overlooked his his hotel brouhaha, but forgery is a NO.

Nedu is now at home with a wife and a daughter. His wife, by the way does not work.
May greed and over smartness not be our undoing in life…

End of story…

Successful marketing produces profitable sales. Here are some ideas for those moments when you decide you really need to concentrate on how to boost sales to a higher level:

• Sell to super customers. Someone who writes a blog about your industry, gets quoted in an industry magazine, or presents at an industry conference is a super customer (that is, someone who influences many other buyers). Win him or her over, and the rest of the market tends to follow.

• Make a limited-time, free-trial offer. This tried-and-true formula moves product better than anything else, because people love a chance to try something before they have to commit. (The smartest thing any car dealer can do to make a sale is say, “Would you like a test drive?”) Get your product in potential customers’ hands and grow your market each time someone decides to keep it. But set time limits to help control redemption rates because online offers sometimes get picked up and promoted by bloggers, bumping up redemption above your budgeted level.

• Hire more salespeople on commission. Old-fashioned face-to-face selling is still effective in business-to-business and wholesale industries (which make up the majority of businesses). Sign up sales representatives who are willing to work for a commission. Double the number of sales calls, and you’re bound to score more business.

• Create a parallel distribution channel. For example, if you don’t already sell on the web, start your own web store or set up shop as a store and auctioneer on eBay. (eBay is great for businesses with any fairly straightforward consumer product because there’s so much customer traffic to tap into. Amazon is also a good place to market, with greater customer reach than any other.)

• Bundle your product with one or several complementary products and offer a special package deal. The right bundle may boost sales dramatically, especially if you make it a limited-time offer. For example, combine an art pad, a box of drawing pens, a short booklet on drawing favorite Anime characters, and a watercolor set, and you have a great holiday gift idea. Alone, none of those products would likely jump off the shelf.

• Send monthly postcards or e-mails with discount codes, special offers, or announcements. A postcard is an inexpensive form of direct mail. If you have a good customer list, use it at least once a month. The more you reach out to your customer base, the more it’ll buy what you’re selling.

Great post Merlissa

Marketing can do amazing things for a business if the process is creative and innovative. Here are some simple techniques to add creative energy to all your marketing efforts:

• Brainstorming: Think of 100 new ideas for marketing your business and then use the best 10, or even just the best one. Just do something new and exciting every now and then to keep things fresh!


• Analogies: Think of products that your product is similar to and tell the customer (or potential customer) why. This famous creativity exercise adds insight and interest to your marketing communications. For instance, instead of saying, “Our cleaning services are 100% reliable,” you could say, “Having us clean your office is like moving into a brand-new building every week!”

• Pass-along: Write a simple sales or marketing idea on a piece of paper or in an e-mail and then pass that idea along to someone else with the instruction that he or she should add to it or list another idea. Keep circulating the paper or e-mail until your coworkers or friends have helped you generate a long list of ideas and options to choose from.

• Question assumptions: Make a list of stupid questions and take the time to ask people what they think. “Why do you have to have branches to be in the banking business?” is a good example of a “stupid” question that may lead to a breakthrough marketing concept. And in fact, there’s such a thing as direct banking, in which the bank avoids retail branches and their high costs. Could you, if you work in a conventional bank, start a direct-banking division and double your bank’s size without the need for bricks and mortar?

• Rewriting: Good ol’ editing and rewriting can lead you to better marketing communications. In fact, rewriting opens more creative doors than any other technique. Take a copy of a brochure, and make yourself come up with five new headlines or titles that you can use for the cover. You’ll probably come up with at least one headline that’s much more striking and interesting than the existing one.
