3. Marketing Strategies:
Geo-marketing:
This is not a short-term
marketing strategy, nor is it a
campaign by itself
It is a tool marketers use to
determine strategies and
create campaigns—a method
of handling data that creates
insights into the market
environment
Uses location knowledge to
frame marketing efforts, using
digital mapping to organize
and display data for review
and decision-making
The digital map allows
marketers to analyze data by
geographic region or specific
physical location

Digital technology,
with location data
available through
social media and
mobile devices, will
only help this
continue to increase
power and capability
Spatial analysis of
data gathered
through this can
promote multiple
goals
Maps need to be
regularly updated,
customer data needs
to be kept current,
and quality-control
measures need to be
employed to ensure
accurate data
Many companies
contract out map
maintenance to
groups that
specialize in geo-
marketing software
and development

A company needs
to manage and
maintain each of
these
components
The same
integration should
take place with
mobile devices,
including mobile

applications
Providing value to

purchasing billboard advertisements,
based upon the residences and traffic
patterns of their customer base

Influencer Marketing:
Involves marketing products
and services to those who
have a sway over the things
others buy
This market influence
typically stems from an
individual's expertise,
popularity, or reputation
Marketing to an audience of
influencers is similar to word
of mouth marketing, but it
doesn’t rely strictly on
explicit recommendations
Influence can come from a
wide range of places
Any person, group, brand,
or place could potentially be
an influencer

Compiled By Author from: marketing-schools.org
Bloggers have
become
important
influencers
because they
are seen as
authentic and
have loyal
followings
By using
influencers,
companies can
avoid much of
the cynicism
and skepticism
that is
directed at
straight
forward
marketing
messages
This form of
marketing is
unique
because it
appeals to the
needs of the
influencer
rather than
the customer
Companies
must give
influencers
respect and
form open and
organic
relationships
for the
influencer to
endorse a
product
The only
major
drawback of
influencer
marketing is
that it isn't as
controllable as
traditional
marketing
Influencers
who
encounter
legal trouble
or fall out of
the public
light might
negatively
impact a
product's
chance of
success
Marketers
must prepare
to deal with
negative
fallout if the
influencers
they use
misrepresent
or rejects their
products

them be accomplished

selling

Neuromarketing:
It is the formal study of the brain's responses to advertising
and branding, and the adjustment of those messages based
on feedback to elicit even better responses
Researchers use technologies such as functional magnetic resonance
imaging (fMRI) and electroencephalography (EEG) to measure specific
types of brain activity in response to advertising messages
With this information, companies learn why
consumers make the decisions they do, and what
parts of the brain are motivating them to do so

The technology
involved in
neuromarketing is
highly sophisticated,
the premise is simple:
consumers can lie;
statistics don’t
Even if consumers
aren’t lying, they very
often may not
properly articulate
what they’re thinking
It’s estimated that
95% of all thought
occurs in our
subconscious minds—
which traditional
research methods
can’t measure

Their work heavily affects the
visible part of advertising,
but they focus primarily on
the “back end” work
They are more concerned
with studying the emotions
and memories triggered by
marketing messages
It focuses on individual
marketing test subjects—
usually no more than a few
dozen, and over an extended
period of time
MRI and EEG machines are
used to monitor participants’
brain activity before, during,
and after exposure to
neuromarketing techniques
Neuromarketing: How to
23. Marketing Strategies:
Compiled By Author from: marketing-schools.org
It depends on a process known as priming—an electrochemical
reaction set off whenever a topic is first introduced
Priming allows the brain to recall everything it knows about the specific topic
Even before the conscious mind becomes aware of a stimulus, the subconscious mind
has already begun to process it and respond—all in the course of a single second
Neuromarketing is concerned with the second when a response is first formed
Neuromarketing: How to
24. Marketing Strategies:
Compiled By Author from: marketing-schools.org
Once a consumer's brain is primed, new
information/stimuli is introduced to allow the brain to
compare this new information with what it already knows
Then it forms and
expresses conscious
opinions about the product
itself
This information is
compared to the
information already
compiled in the priming
stage
Once all the data has been
collected, the marketing
campaign itself becomes
more like any “traditional”
marketing campaign
Based on neural and
sensory data collected, the
marketing team will
develop and adjust the
campaign in order to create
maximum engagement,
and memory retention

Neuromarketing is very
expensive so it is
primarily used by large
(or at least heavily
subsidized) companies
and organizations
Even with it skeptics
and detractors
neuromarketing has
already captured the
market’s imagination
As researchers conduct
more studies in the
field, further
refinements—and
possibly legislation will
further enhance and
define neuromarketing
strategies in the future

It’s a flexible method to determine customer preferences
and brand loyalty
It can be applied to nearly anyone who has developed an
opinion about a product or company
Neuromarketing measures positive and memorable
impacts in the minds of customers
Sensory devices that create or evoke memories, are
effective ways companies can attract consumers

Google and MediaVest partnered with biometrics researcher
NeuroFocus
Gauged how users responded to their InVideo advertisements

Forty participants’ sensory responses were scored along:
attention, emotional engagement, and effectiveness
