If you approach this list of marketing blog topics wisely, you can create an almost endless content plan. From each topic, you can create several more interesting titles for high-engagement content. If you are too lazy to do it yourself, write to us - we will write cool articles for a marketing blog or good content for groups on social networks.

Marketing effectiveness is the most important factor of any business in the modern world. It has become very popular to conduct marketing research. It is this diagnostic method that helps to identify interesting articles on marketing that a certain industry lacks or exceeds, and such marketing errors require large unnecessary material costs.

At the present stage of development, marketing is no longer a simple analysis of people’s preferences in the sphere of consumption and demand, it is a search for solutions to expand the volume of markets and ways of interaction. You need to have very good intuition to anticipate changes in the needs and desires of consumers and successfully adjust your production program to them. Therefore, marketing has become a war. To know the desires of consumers, you need to know the development of the entire class of consumers in the market. The main thing that drives the consumer is: preferences and requests. More minor factors are: motives, consciousness, sensations, incentives, perception of information and others, which you can learn more about by reading articles on marketing .

Within each person there are internal motivations, which, in turn, lie at the foundation of consumer behavior in the market - these are incentives. To present their incentives on the consumption market, consumers need sensations - a form of awareness by them of their requested needs. You can also read articles on marketing that will be useful in resolving this issue.

For primary needs, a set of options for satisfaction arises - these are the demands and preferences of consumers. Next comes the process of perception - awareness of what is really needed.

The consumer's motive is in some way a gap between the conscious request to read articles about marketing and what is just emerging in desires, but at the same time it is the reason for the consumer's motivation to purchase a product.

Consumers can choose for themselves certain behavior in the market - their actions and actions in relation to a certain product. In this way, the contradictions between the desire to acquire or to limit themselves can be resolved. Also, to solve this issue, you can read interesting articles about marketing collected on our portal.

The consumer has the right to: purchase a product, collect additional information, or refuse to purchase anything. If, nevertheless, a choice is made, the consumer begins to compare and evaluate how successful his purchase is - it is in this process that a comparison occurs between what was expected and what was received.

GetSocial.ru article. It’s good both for site owners and for those who want to explain to these same owners what needs to be done and what they take money for. And yes - everyone loves checklists, because it is always easier to act on a ready-made list.

for my beloved MadCats was written by Igor Rudnik. Let me quote: “Meanwhile, the link profile is one of the factors that a site, like Chekhov’s man, should always have in perfect condition. Moreover, content marketing is also related to the link profile: juicy, bold and rich content results in the highest quality links.” And one more, small one: “The article was written by the head of one of the network services, you can see which one. And this is a wonderful example of anti-jeans. Because the text will contain links to all competitors at once. And the article is useful in itself.”

Therefore, this article is for all those who believe in SEO.

Another article for beginners “Selection of keywords for an online store: how to search for keywords” on the Semantica blog. If you do SEO, you can send this article to the client to understand your tasks.

2. Content marketing

This is my favorite topic, and I have made a habit of researching everything up and down. Therefore, there will be many links to articles.

It's about the approach to business in general and letters in particular.

5.PPC

For those who want to make their Facebook feed amazingly useful, we advise you to skim Volkov's List. Perhaps you will find yourself there too. And yes - the author of this very list promised to write an article for our blog, so subscribe quickly so as not to miss anything.

“User photos are linked to corresponding product pages, making it easy for customers to buy the clothes they see. Crowdsourced lookbooks like this are a great tool for showcasing Urban Outfitter products and helping customers make smarter purchases.”

7. Cases

I really liked the visual and informative story in Netpeak “Case: how to analyze competitors using SimilarWeb.” The author Alexey Seleznev oriented his story for those who are moving into global markets.

He divided all competitors into global and local, and made accurate conclusions after analysis. Nowadays it’s very rare to get laudatory reviews (people are sometimes just lazy), but this article was showered with applause.

The Yagla case on Spark showed that without the help of a magic wand you can almost double the number of leads. “How to reduce the budget by 33 times and receive 1.7 times more applications. Case Beeline"

Yagla experts claim that mechanics work in both corporations and micro-businesses.

“Creating a community around a brand: the BlaBlaCar experience” by Irina Barinskaya for Cossa. This case is about working with people. Just read - and you will understand that patience, observation, the ability to analyze and listen, these are the real marketing tools. And they work.

8. Web analytics

“3 Cool Excel Reports for Productive Sales Planning for Small Businesses” on Spark. This is a translation of an article by Astronomer CEO Tim Brunk about three practical reports in Excel. You will find out the answers to the questions: what will your income look like, taking into account different scenarios? How many engineers (depending on the type of business) or customer success specialists will need to be hired to achieve and maintain planned growth? How much is it? How much capital will be needed to finance the growth plan?

Evgeniy Povkh wrote for Seo News “Review of the updated Report Wizard 2.0 in Ya.Direct”, in which he listed all the advantages and nuances of the new version.

“It won’t do: three stories about how web analytics saves sites,” by Pavel Serulov, for Lead Machine. For whom: for those who want to explain to clients that web analytics is the basis of the basics. And without it there will be no marketing. In a nutshell, it can be simple - it helps not to drain money from the budget.

9. Usability

“Designing Website Screens Using a Gutenberg Diagram” is a great article on the AskUsers blog. If people behave in a certain way because they are... human, then why not use a diagram that takes this into account in a “certain way”. And here she is:

An excellent article on the Siteclinic.ru blog “Page design for a new site: how to establish work with site developers” from the author Anna Sebova. The article discusses the main stages of website development, how to properly organize work with a development team, and also uses examples to examine the types of websites and the number of pages that make up each of them.

In June, Netology generously distributed the book “6 Usability Stereotypes,” written by Mikhail Bode. I copied the contents of the book for you to whet your desire to download it quickly:

10. Podcasts

I'm actively exploring podcasts. Sometimes it helps a lot (when you’re bored on a treadmill, for example). I enjoyed reading Iya Ishmenetskaya’s stories on Andrei Zinkevich’s blog very well.

She conducted her first training in 1998. Experience and knowledge are simply priceless. Iya is probably the most experienced marketer I've heard. “Systemic marketing: how to attract and retain customers in the current conditions” - and listen.

We offer site readers dozens of excellent cases on advertising and marketing, team management and, of course, sales. We have collected the TOP 15 best promotion articles that you can return to again and again.

1. Unique Selling Proposition (USP): Best Examples and Development Tips

The goal of developing a unique selling proposition in each case is to gain or maintain market share. Let's focus on a simple allegory. To live you need to eat. This food for business becomes “cash cows” - brands, products, trademarks that are created and promoted by market participants, and then “milked” to generate income.

Best article of the month

We interviewed businessmen and found out what modern tactics help increase the average bill and the frequency of purchases by regular customers. We published tips and practical cases in the article.

Also in the article you will find three tools to determine customer needs and increase the average bill. With these methods, employees always fulfill the upsell plan.

To milk a cow, it must be grazed. Since the grass on a favorite pasture runs out at some point, even large companies are forced to search for a new meadow for their cattle. And, most importantly, your promising meadows should not be found by a competitor before.

From a business perspective, a unique selling proposition (USP) is a free pasture in which there are no competitor’s cows.

2. Cross-marketing: how to quickly and cheaply attract customers

Cross-marketing is a traditional method of carrying out affiliate promotions, especially effective when reducing the budget for advertising costs. Partnership in this area reduces advertising costs to attract new clients by 50% and, with the right approach, allows you to expand the target audience. How to choose the ideal partner for an event and organize it on mutually beneficial terms? Cross marketing is a relatively new and effective technology for promoting a product or brand on the market.

One of the principles of this method is the expression “fish where they are.” That is, communication and sales should be in the place where a person is inclined to it. The essence of cross-marketing comes down to the fact that customers...

3. How to come up with a company name: step-by-step algorithm

I am sure that a professional copywriter looking for a sonorous name for a huge corporation, and a businessman who orders the first sign for his hair salon, are following the same path to creating a brand: they are trying to put into the name of their companies a certain semantic and emotional load, the influence of which they want to extend to future clients. And despite the fact that naming is a creative process, it cannot be done without technology: names taken out of thin air are rarely successful. As history shows, the talent of a copywriter has not always contributed to the creation of great brands. Their names sometimes became the names of localities, the first and last names of the founders, and even their eating habits.

4. 8 marketing moves to increase sales during the low season


5. Low-budget marketing campaigns: rules and examples


A solid advertising budget does not yet guarantee the desired sales growth. The relevance and correctness of the advertising message in relation to the target audience, the expressiveness of the design and precisely selected text, the use of non-standard platforms - this is what increases the chances of the desired success. But low-budget promotions also have a number of features that need to be taken into account if you want to get the maximum return from advertising.

6. Word of mouth marketing: 4 mistakes that will ruin everything


Word of mouth marketing comes to the aid of companies when they need to attract customers. Most companies perceive recommendations as an accident, hoping that the buyer will recommend a product or brand just like that. For this to become a pattern, the following mistakes must be avoided in referral marketing, including word-of-mouth advertising.

7. SEO optimization and website promotion: typical mistakes


SEO optimization and website promotion are widely used by businessmen. However, due to inexperience, the client may choose a bad contractor - one who is not competent enough to achieve really good results and understand which recommendations are outdated and which are basic. What Yandex requirements should a website meet and what SEO optimization and website promotion mistakes should be avoided?
