CONNECTED MARKETING - HOLISTIC DIGITAL OPTIMIZATION - SEARCH EVERYWHERE!
Connected marketing, also sometimes referred to as interconnected or holistic marketing, is a strategy that aims to create a unified customer experience across all touchpoints. In simpler terms, it's about connecting with your audience in a consistent way, no matter how they interact with your brand.
Here are some key aspects of connected marketing:
Data-Driven Approach: It leverages customer data to understand their preferences and behavior across different channels. This allows for targeted messaging and personalized experiences.
Omnichannel Marketing: Connected marketing uses a variety of channels, both online and offline, to reach customers. This could include social media, email marketing, website content, physical stores, and even events.
Customer Journey Focus: It focuses on the entire customer journey, from initial awareness to purchase and beyond. This ensures a consistent brand message and experience at every touchpoint.
Technology Integration: Marketing technology (MarTech) tools play a crucial role in collecting data, managing campaigns, and automating tasks. This allows for a more efficient and effective marketing approach.
Benefits of Connected Marketing:
Improved Customer Experience: Customers appreciate a consistent and personalized experience across all channels. This builds trust and loyalty.
Increased Engagement: By using a variety of channels and tailoring messages to specific audiences, connected marketing can increase customer engagement.
Better ROI: Connecting with the right audience at the right time can lead to a higher return on investment (ROI) for marketing campaigns.
Data-Driven Decision Making: By collecting and analyzing customer data, marketers can make data-driven decisions that improve campaign performance.
Here's an analogy to illustrate connected marketing: Imagine you're planning a road trip. A disconnected approach would be picking random roads without a clear destination. Connected marketing is like having a map and route planned out, considering rest stops, gas stations, and points of interest along the way to ensure a smooth and enjoyable journey for everyone in the car.
the whole guilt-tripping language in posts about important topics paired with how I'm still getting bitches in my notes talking about why it's actually good to tell "bad" people to kill themselves continues to prove to me that a lot of people have absolutely no concept of social justice or activism outside of assuming the worst of and then viciously attacking strangers on the internet
Something I miss from earlier eras of the creative side of the internet was things just being unabashedly low-budget. Just all unashamedly amateur, unprofessional, ‘I don’t own a good camera but I have a story to tell you’, ‘I can’t afford a good mic but I have a song to sing for you,’ ‘I don’t have any kind of background in editing or lighting and I only just picked up this guitar last Tuesday but here’s an entire musical me and my friends wrote about our favourite book, we filmed it on a potato and put it up on YouTube in ten minute segments because we thought it was pretty funny.’
predates planned obsolescence that pushes you to upgrade to the exact same product every year
saves you phone battery by being a dedicated seperate device
no streaming reception issues no buffering
easily portable
full control of order or shuffle
NO ADS
actually pocket sized yes even for annoyingly small designed pockets on women's trousers
conscious music curation, even if you are discovering new music elsewhere you have to decide if you like it enough to keep it in regular listening
more tactile than touch screen smart devices so you can use the controls without looking
actual radio inbuilt no subscription needed
audio jack for headphones or speaker means no faffing around with adaptors or bluetooth charging or connecting to the wrong device or losing connection
no notifications
surprisingly durable
many mp3 players are still multimedia devices with voice record and text or video viewing functions
yes you still might use your phone for the internet or games but also consider no external access to the device without physically plugging it into a computer as a security function
small device kind of cute kind of fun to look at and hold in ur hands like a small creature kind of fun to decorate and accessorise with
my one specifically i was able to download the software from the brand's website because they still have the software and manuals available for discontinued tech and it works no problem, even the battery life still seems fine which i can not say for ANY of the phones i got in the last decade
Random reminder that I HATE Plushie Dreadful!! Those mental illness/disabilities plushes? Typically rabbits? There's been a lot of criticism over them about ableism in the past. Personal feelings about disorders being marketed, formerly partnering with Autism Speaks, etc. But one thing people don't seem to notice is the ableism towards schizophrenics, narcissists, and antisocials! This site with a bunch of beautifly designed rabbit stuffed animals decided to make the schizophrenic and antisocial plushes noticably creepier than most others. The antisocial one at the very least came out cuter than the concept art. But the schizophrenic one is openly based on serial killers. And NPD? The official Twitter account made a poll about what the design should be, made degrading comments about narcissists, and liked comments by people making fun of narcissists. In the end, in order to not make the npd plush TOO special or unique looking, made it a plain brown rabbit with a paper crown (openly saying it's because pwnpd aren't actually special or deserving of a real one). When contacted by pwnpd with criticism/feedback, like they say they accept, they ignored it
Ableism towards disorders people find "scary" or "bad" is still ableism!!! It's still shitty!!!
the last line of gotsm ⁉️ how could i forget. they stressed it SO heavily. ALSO!!! when jem first brought up the line, something kinda struck me (maybe im late to the party)
the riders of mannan have bronze skin and hair. it cant be coincidental. i dont know where else to take this i just NEED to see if anyone else realized
Sometimes ADHD likes to throw you a curveball, and in my latest "I do not control the hyperfixation" development: I was suddenly possessed, at FOUR IN THE MORNING, to buy myself a tamagotchi out of literally nowhere, and now all I want to do is play with it and look at tamagotchi content.
I feel like there is a strong correlation to Frank Hubert’s initial subtext with Dune (its islamic religious themes, a premise setting an empire against local populaces, the attention towards ecological developments in desert environments with a bias towards temperate zones from outsiders wanting to “enrich” the land), and all of the recent developments in Gaza and its history, both with the original influences to Hubert’s novel and the timing of a blockbuster adaptation happening while international focus grows towards Palestine, that is going unmentioned outside of the usual jokes and memes
i've been dead and gone bc of school and jobsearching and everything happening all at once but ive been playing the boktai series games lately and i'm enjoying it a lot. I just got past the third boss in boktai 2. I don't know why but i'm enthralled with these games, i highly recommend them
I saw a post somewhere that each of the companions' personal quests have to do with the main quest - Gale wants/knows about the Crown of Karsus, Shadowheart is involved with the shadow-cursed lands and therefore Ketheric Thorm, Wyll's connection to Duke Ravengard leads you to Enver Gortash, same as Karlach, Lae'zel guides you to the githyanki/Astral plane side of things and by extension you learn more about your Dream Visitor, everyone has a main plot relevant quest-
except Astarion.
His personal quest is very personal but has nothing to do with the Absolute, unless you view his being able to walk in the sun as motivation for growing your illithid powers.
And I've been thinking about it and I'm pretty sure that's on purpose. Astarion is in the party to be loved; you wouldn't have any reason to want to keep the tadpole in your head otherwise.
I'm not saying Astarion/Tav is canon but it is tho.
