Permission Marketing is a new technique, 1999 to be exact, that inspires an audience to want to hear from you. This method (and book) written by Seth Godin covers how permission marketing is a “privilege” (not a right) of delivering anticipated, personal and relevant messages to an audience that wants to hear from you. This technique is non-traditional however it is extremely popular among thought leaders in the branding and marketing world today. Once the consumer opts in to receiving a brand's content it is a grant of permission into the user’s world. This grant of authority is a marketing technique used by brands to sell goods and services.  Seth goes to cover three strategies used: 1.    Anticipated: people will expect the service/product from the brand 2.    Personal: How the marketing relates to the consumer 3.    Relevant: the marketing information is that your customers are interested in   5 Levels of Permission are as followed: -          Situational – permission by providing personal information -          Brand Trust - permission by continuing supplying consumers need -          Personal Relationship – permission by relationship with someone in the brand -          Points Permission – permission by incentive or opportunity -          Intravenous Permission - permission by specific good or service

Defying Essentials for Brands: Next Best Action Marketing 

Written by: The Branding Icon: Pamela Rosara Jones  

Next Best Action Marketing (also known as “next best” or “best next action”) is a strategy that considers literally “the next best” step In the marketing process. It’s important to add this facet of marketing to every plan. Why? Because setting a plan in stone from the start only leads to missed opportunities and no one wants (or can afford) that type of marketing. Considering the next best action shows how important adding relevancy and timeliness to your campaign can be. For instance, If you launched a plan focusing on millennials ready to travel after college, and Trump (President 45)  purposely begins a new scheme to stop those Americans from traveling outside of the United States. You may want to create a step in your plan that shows cases how you feel about that ban. That shows relevance, purpose and all brands should be ready to add to their marketing plan through relevant tactics. Next, best action can be an offer, proposition or service. It is all dependent on what your consumers need/want and how the brand (that’s you) can adhere to these requirements/want.  Improving one on one engagement through analytics and optimization increases value for not only your brand but also for the individual consumer.  For more information about this technique and how The Branding Icon can assist your brand in the many forms of branding, marketing and publicity, please email info@thebrandingicon.com  or visit my website www.thebrandingicon.com .

Defying Essentials for Brands: Personal Branding 

Written by: The Branding Icon: Pamela Rosara Jones  

One of the most important (and in today's times) most critical process that every person should be interested in creating. Your PERSONAL BRAND. This method of branding is essential for any individual interested in being remembered. Competition these days are relentless in creating tactics that stand out. From looking for employment to keeping your job, personal branding could absolutely make a difference in how people perceive WHO YOU ARE. Taking a step into personal branding can be a bit overwhelming. Mainly because you are taking a step into melting your outside world with your personal world. It’s like using a prism and actually standing under the sun to showcase your many talents, skills, and techniques. And, to be honest, even your flaws and failures. It’s your story, and it can never be duplicated. Let’s get back to the purpose of branding. Well, the purpose of branding that I specialize in. The ultimate connection of your audience emotionally connecting (and becoming loyal) to who and what you represent. Do you get it now? In the visual sense, branding has to be consistent, creative and streamlined. No argument there. However, when it comes to the emotional connection of connecting with your audience, you must consider what you say, do and even how you feel about your brand. An inconsistent journey only leads to an inconsistent audience. Believe me, I know. The best way to go about personal branding is through authenticity and consistency. Knowing the image, you want to portray and shooting for the stars. Market yourself, at any age. Market Yourself.  For more information about this technique and how The Branding Icon can assist your brand in the many forms of branding, marketing and publicity, please email info@thebrandingicon.com  or visit my website www.thebrandingicon.com .
