Errors in determining the success of market segmentation dangerous marketing strategy. The impact is not only spread the targeting market, but also can be fatal in all strategies and tactics that run the company. Market segmentation fault usually stems from a lack of market information. As a result, the grouping of consumers do not correspond to actual market conditions.

Each market is unique, because consumers are definitely different from one another. No market is completely homogeneous. Only in the marketing world, the number of consumers who are very much this is impossible “captured” one by one. So they then simplified. Consumers who have the same characteristics are grouped in one segment of the market (segmentation).

The biggest problem in Indonesia, is the number of companies who often make decisions based on information that is not enough.

Every time I open yahoo email, on the left below the banner ads that always arise from the women really began to make up, nail polish until the rows of cute shoes instead try to attract my attention.

Not only in online communication activities in general are targeted, according to context and behavior, always more successful at getting attention.

In online, behavioral communication supported by technology that can automatically supply the ads only to the target. Database-based approach is the one who made ??Yahoo, MSN, facebook etc..

What about Indonesia, which on average have their online media based on membership? how to apply behavioral targeted ad so that we are doing more communication is more pervasive and efficient message is costing?

No / lack of reader-based database grouping, does not mean an obstacle to doing targeted ad. The first thing to do is to select and study each channel and to treat each channel with a different approach.

Example: If your product is intended for men and women and want to advertise on the public portal, do not rush to put on the public channel, but look into the possibility of a special channel that is usually visited by men and women.

Internet penetration has been so rapidly entering every segment of society. The impact of media on this one also has changed the pattern of life and community interaction. In terms of shopping and find the items needed can not be separated from the influence of online media. Not to mention the mobile applications that also support the growing lifestyle with online media. Business environment and marketing strategy will inevitably have to take advantage of online media. Changes or complementarity between online and offline marketing strategies have a pretty significant role for the business.

The number of Internet users that the greater provide great opportunities for businesses to attract customers through online media. Choice of online media as a marketing tool has several advantages including low cost and a very wide range.

However, the marketing strategy through online media is not necessarily provide effective results. Needs to be done with seriously and measurable evaluation of the results.

A little refresh our memories back, that in the Marketing Revolution there were 12 or 12 approach to touch the pillar marketing target market. The 12 pillars of marketing it as a compendium of a great marketing concept that has been highly tested. As I outlined earlier, that if you do the pillars that I teach, it will get great results too. The second pillar is a referral, that is, not that touched our own market.

Previously I wanted to ask, who of you who’ve come to one of my seminars because it was invited by someone you know? Apparently, from the results I get when I ask it in a variety of seminars that I held, many of my audience turned out to be the result of the referral.

In this case we can provide a form for the referral program, for example, member get member. This method has been widely used by companies engaged in credit card, they often provide member get member program, and give you points redeemable for various products that are very interesting. Often entrepreneurs forget how this referral.

I have been practicing this way to offer various seminars that I held, for example by offering discounts of up to 30% for participants who register I should find yourself a new customer, preferably through another person who invites discounts.

This will just be able to be a means of marketing our time factor. The third pillar is the endorsement, or that selling is not our own. Almost the same as the referral, but if the referral of people usually take one, but the endorsement, a person could ask a thousand people.

For example, you already have a surgeon who become your customers. You could offer to the surgeon, “Would you get this program for a year?”, If he would answer, then we can offer the following, “Can you give a letter to all surgeons in Indonesia to give testimony that you have followed my seminars.

Another example when I was invited by an aviation maintenance company, I ask if they have a list of upper-class people who become their database. For instance, from there we know there is an airline president reliable, then he could go on to say,

If you want to run a marketing strategy through this package, there are several things to consider design features that can sell the product packaging that is:

1. Could lead to appeal to consumers because of its different forms.
No need to make an expensive product packaging design, packaging which you can pose important stimulus for consumers to make a purchase consideration of your product.

2. Jump on the perception of the buyer.
This means that packaging design products that are made must be captured directly by the consumer point without having to think too long. For example, if the product is a soy sauce, soy sauce then the contents must appear prominently on product packaging design. So once consumers see the product, they immediately recognized that the product is ketchup, not herbs.

Another important axiom in finance is the principle of time value of money. This axiom states that the value of money decreases over time, and therefore received a euro today is worth more than one euro collected at a future time. On the one hand this principle is supported by the returns available from the money received today, for example in the form of interest if properly invested capital so if there is no money to sacrifice the potential benefit of a euro gained today. Then there is the phenomenon of inflation, which diminished the value of currency units, so the perceived monetary unit in the future, will have less value than the same monetary unit received today. Consequently this concept of time value of money is central to sound financial management, and should encourage companies to receive the money as soon as possible.

All companies need cash, like a car needs fuel to keep the engine running and able to move. However, payment defaults and losses are harming fuel velocity and following the simile, the bad are gas leaks important enough to be cut right away to prevent the engine runs out of fuel and stop is reached.

For these reasons it is necessary that payment flows that will work well and constantly injecting plenty of money in the treasury, so that if companies get constant liquidity, go well. On the contrary, when a business fails your bills paid on time (because of late payments by customers) may not meet its own obligations to pay cash and enter into crisis.

It’s time to take advantage of these tools, focusing on the evaluation of user habits, with doses ingenious and creative work.

The domestic majors occupy almost all the salmon pages of traditional newspapers. Mergers, divestment of property assets, capital or serious rumors of large business operations, are the daily content that readers flicking between disbelief of information and speed due to the limited impact on their daily lives.

The limited impact of current SME

The context is totally different from the national business community and therefore of reality that is tangible in the streets. 99% of companies in this country are in the group of SMEs, which collides with the reality of information. This aspect underlies the existing ballast in the field of productivity in the work cycle.

The short-term approach is the protagonist of the business world, so almost all small and medium entrepreneurs to invest for the sole purpose of selling, pushing other issues to the shelf of things to do.

Among the tasks forgotten, is the innovations and new trends in marketing and sales strategies. Unfortunately, the bet, translated into investments in these areas, are negligible.
