By Ryan Gumb Social media has become a regular part of everyday life for countless individuals around the world. When we wake up in the morning the first thing that we do is grab our phones to check our social media accounts. In fact, for many of us, the time spent sleeping is the longest period of time we go without checking our social media accounts. It is an undeniable fact that social media has made its way into our society in a variety of different aspects. One of the greatest ways that it has impacted society can be found … Continued

Generational Marketing in 2019

18. Jun | by | Marketing Services, Social, Social Marketing Tips | 0 comments:

By Ryan Gumb When developing a marketing strategy, age and generation are factors that need to be taken into account. We’ve all heard terms like “Millennials,” and “Baby Boomers,” thrown around, but what do they actually mean? And how do you figure out which generation that you’re a part of? Well, unfortunately… it’s not so simple. There is a lot of debate over the exact point of time in which one generation transitions into another. However, our behavior and media habits can give us a clearer explanation about which age bracket we truly belong in. Baby Boomers (1946-1964) Unlike the … Continued

Some industries are labeled with a bad reputation no matter how trustworthy the individual business entity is. Auto body shops and marketers are two such industries.  So what happens when a well-known marketing agency teams up with Staten Island’s only environmentally friendly auto body shop to increase business? This week’s Vonsense podcast, “How to be a better client” can answer that question. This week the Von Agency team spoke with Barry Crupi, Co-owner and operator of Barry’s Auto Body to get his opinion about why his various marketing campaigns have been successful. The first point that Barry brought up was … Continued

Hyp-OSCAR-isy Why the Oscars’ #MeToo message failed

5. Mar | by | Marketing Services, Music | 0 comments:

Hyp-OSCAR-isy Why the Oscars’ #MeToo message failed Any thinking human being would recognize the hypocrisy perpetrated on the public by those who produced and directed the 90th anniversary Oscars show.  For those who would prefer that other do their thinking for them, I will explain. The overt message the Oscar committee decided to send to the viewers was complete and utter support for the #MeToo movement. However, the message they actually sent was, “Do what I say, not what I do.”  Here’s why: They chose the wrong host! If they really wanted to send a message that they supported the #MeToo … Continued

Why and How to Launch a Podcast

26. Feb | by | Marketing Services, SMM, Social | 0 comments:

Convenience. In this fast-moving, digital age, convenience is key – that’s why, after losing a ton of holiday sales to Amazon, Toys ‘R’ Us has decided to close an additional 200 stores. After all, shopping online from your living room couch is far more convenient than driving to the store, finding a parking spot, searching a 20,000 square-foot-building for the item you want to buy, then standing in a long line of frustrated parents and screaming children waiting to pay.  Even utilitarian tasks, such as checking the weather and turning on the lights, are being simplified with products like the Amazon Echo … Continued

Blurred Lines: Why Social Media Marketing Just Got Tougher

12. Feb | by | Marketing Services, SMM, Social, Social Marketing Tips, Social Media Management, Social Media Marketing | 0 comments:

By Joseph Corrado Quadara If you’re an avid social media user (like 80% of the U.S population) you’ve probably noticed the frequent updates that take place on your favorite platforms. These changes happen so often that users are left confused and frustrated. Seems counter-intuitive since the purpose of the platform is to provide a positive user experience.  It seems like social media companies are spiraling deeper and deeper into a game of Monkey in the Middle. On one side are the billions of loyal users essential to a company’s success. On the other side are the millions of businesses/advertisers who … Continued

The Millennials Are Coming! The Millenials Are Coming! You Better Go Live to Get Their Attention!

22. Dec | by | Marketing Services, Social Marketing Tips, Social Media Marketing | 0 comments:

By Leticia Remauro The world of marketing is changing because the largest generation inhabiting the Earth – the Millennials – are starting to call the shots. If you haven’t noticed, Millennials look at marketing differently than the generations before them.  For Millennials, the phrase “bigger and better” means that the product is wasteful, and “new and improved” means you didn’t get it right the first time.  “Crazy Eddie” type commercials are a turn off to Millennials who prefer their marketing to be engaging rather than loud and over the top. Millennials are the most educated generation so if you want … Continued

The Necessity of Professional Photography

5. Jan | by | Marketing Services, Social Marketing Tips, Staten Island | 0 comments:

Professional photography is a necessity that all businesses must invest in. The power of professional photography should never be underestimated or undervalued. It has immense value in attracting potential customers to your products or services. I’ll use food photography as it is the best example to show the importance of professional photography. Consider the fast food that you may have eaten at McDonald’s, at Burger King or at any fast food establishment. Order any burger from these establishments and it’s very likely that you’ll receive something that does not really look appetizing because the patty may be lopsided, the lettuce is half … Continued

If you are not devoting any money towards advertising, you may as well pick a day to close your business. All successful, long operating businesses have one thing in common: a marketing budget. Many business owners underestimate the importance of marketing and view it as wasted money or an unneeded expense. This is extremely far from the truth and a very short sighted way of thinking. There are a variety of factors that go into what your marketing budget should be: your industry, your company size, your competition, growth stage, and location. All of these are main factors and one … Continued
