HOW TO: Stay Competitive in a World of Online Price Transparency Langley Steinert is the CEO/founder of CarGurus, a leading online automotive community which provides price transparency tools for car shopping. Previously, Steinert was chairman/co-founder of TripAdvisor, the largest online travel community in the world. Prior to TripAdvsior, Steinert was VP of marketing at Viaweb (acquired by Yahoo!). The Internet continues to change the way we shop for products and services. The ability to access information and share it instantly has empowered consumers. The newest challenge for web businesses is how to manage that information, and more importantly, how to handle it with transparency. The New Online Price Transparency Back in 2000 when I helped co-found the travel site TripAdvisor.com, I got my share of angry e-mails from hoteliers irate that we were publishing bad user reviews about their establishments. Addressing price transparency represents a similar challenge for many marketers, who fear losing advantage in a public battle for the lowest price.

While most business owners have been told that they need to have a mission statement, not everyone has been instructed on how to create one that's useful and meaningful. By definition, a mission statement communicates the fundamental purpose and values of a business or organization. Even corporate marketing executives have trouble understanding what makes a mission statement useful. What's wrong with this mission statement? Reason 1: Generalization Insert the name of your local airport into the real airport mission statement above.

17 Twitter Tips from Mashable Connect Attendees While Twitter users have become more active in the past year, there are only a few who are consistently valuable, engaging and respected. Becoming one of those users is a challenging task, but it's also something that can pay big dividends. That's why we asked the world's leaders in digital for their advice on how to become a master Twitter user.

Want to Build a Great YouTube Channel? Orabrush Reveals the 4 Essentials for Video Marketing Success Blog o Online Marketingu: online stratégia Kým motor internetovej prezentácie je pred našimi očami väčšinou dobre skrytý, "karoséria" nám padne padne do očí ako prvá (navodzuje prvý dojem, a to už v priebehu pár sekúnd). Ide o vizuálne stvárnenie (grafiku) prezentácie, spôsob ovládania a celkovú informačnú architektúru (štruktúru, t.j. ako je obsah "zoradený") projektu. V priebehu pár sekúnd si návštevníci vytvoria názor na web prezentáciu podľa jej vizuálnej podoby. Vizuálne stvárnenie a spôsob ovládania prezentácie úzko súvisí s ponúkaným obsahom a cieľovou skupinou, ktorej je projekt určený. Vizuálne stvárnenie je dobré navrhovať po tom, ako je jasný obsah prezentácie a navrhutá jeho štruktára. Ideálne je dať si ušiť riešenie na mieru špecialistami na danú oblasť. Dobrým zvykom je vizuálnu stránku prispôsobiť dizajn manuálu používanému v iných médiach a dodržiavať určité univerzálne zvyky.
