Getting Value for Your Marketing Dollar

By Des Walsh
Wednesday, February 18th, 2009

One of the themes I’m picking up in business publications is that the recession that is here for some and coming for others is a time when some businesses will build capabilities and strengths that will enable them to flourish when we are through the trough.

For example with expenditure on marketing. How many of us can say that every dollar we spend on marketing, directly or indirectly, is money well spent and will certainly produce profit? Hat tip to you if you can. For the rest of us, there is surely always something new we can learn – or something old we can re-learn – to get better value for our marketing spend.

Content management system software company Bizzuka has come to the party with a very helpful resource. They have put together a nine-part video series,  Nine Ways to Maximize Your Marketing Dollars During the Recession.

The series includes insight and advice from well-known advertising, marketing and social media industry leaders such as David Meerman Scott, Paul Gillin, Ben McConnell, Adam Broitman, Ann Handley, Todd Defren, David Alston and others.

Each video is only 4 to 5 minutes in length. That makes the series about a 45 minute instant seminar on how to use the Web as a cost-effective marketing tool during the recession.

And there is no admission charge. A very nice gift from Bizzuka to the business community.

Bizzuka Platform Now With Blogs

By Des Walsh
Tuesday, June 3rd, 2008

As I mentioned here back in February this year, my friend and colleague Paul Chaney, a leading blogger and great encourager of others in the business of blogging and the blogging of business, is Internet Marketing Director at Bizzuka, based in Lafayette, Louisiana.

Bizzuka provides custom Web design and content management services and intranet development services for small and medium sized businesses throughout the United States.

Paul let me know last week that his company, Bizzuka, is now providing a blogging function as part of its online business platform.

Paul has listed the following features of the new blogging capability of the platform:

  • Categorized content
  • RSS feeds at both site and category levels (working on a bug fix here)
  • Social media sharing via sites like Digg, del.icio.us, Technorati and Facebook
  • Comment moderation
  • Prurient word filtering
  • Tell-a-friend
  • Multi-media file embedding
  • Multiple format file attachment
  • WYSIWYG and HTML editing – And we have a kick-a** editor; much better than many

I’ve spent fifteen minutes or so searching the Bizzuka site, without success, for more information about the blogging capability. The one reference I found to blogging was about the availability of blogging consulting. So presumbably the announcement from Paul is a “heads up” and the information on site will be amplified to include the new capability. Just as a small quibble, I would suggest that there has to be a more grammatical and elegant way of describing the feature listed above as “prurient word filtering”.

(Update: I’ve just read the rest of Paul’s email and noticed the link to a press release about the new function – more info there).

Lately I’m noticing a number of owners of small businesses are seeking actively to incorporate blogging into their online marketing presence and looking for service providers to help them do that effectively. My personal view is that developers or providers of web site technology who do not provide blogging as a standard inclusion are selling their small business customers short and are going to be left behind pretty soon, if they haven’t been already.

So the Bizzuka move is timely and should surely help them attract those savvier, more adventurous customers those of us in this line of business love to have.
