Whether Google’s delays in their business profiles will impact their efforts negatively remains to be seen. On the other hand, rushing things could also have negative repercussions
Sydney, Australia (PRWEB) July 29, 2011
Earlier this month Google+ shut down accounts that were registered under brand names rather than real names, stating that Business Profiles for Google+ will be made available before the year’s end. While Google is busy polishing its policies for Business Profiles, Facebook seized the opportunity to launch Facebook for Business – a move that is welcomed by many of its existing 750 million user base. Aussie marketer James Schramko, author of http://www.InternetMarketingSpeed.com blog, also an avid Facebook user, says:
“Facebook could have had the business profile ages ago, in fact what Google+ is doing right now could already have been done by Facebook. What’s interesting is the fact that competition sparks innovation and creativity that would probably not have surfaced during a monopoly. I think everyone in the internet marketing space is waiting in anticipation for how events will unfold in the coming months.”
In a separate report on CNN, several Google Plus users have had their accounts deleted by Google for using fake names. The aggressive move on Google’s part has provoked mixed sentiments among its early adopters whose numbers rose to 20 million in the first month alone. CNN Tech quoted a Google spokeswoman saying “Google Profiles are designed to be public pages on the web, which are used to help connect and find real people in the real world”.
There has been much debate on Google’s name policy which has incited anger in the online community, with some being more vocal about it and calling the name policy downright stupid.
In the meantime, while Google irons out its policies, Facebook is taking the opportunity to gain an early foothold in the business sector of social media networking. Facebook for Business boasts a simple and crisp design with tutorials and easy to follow instructions. The massive user base is already catching on says Schramko.
“Whether Google’s delays in their business profiles will impact their efforts negatively remains to be seen. On the other hand, rushing things could also have negative repercussions, meaning Google is in a bit of bind here. Everyone is keeping a close watch as the giants battle each other for social media supremacy. For us it means better services and I am truly excited to see where new innovations will take us.” – James Schramko

branding together

Taco Bell is extending its marketing partnership with MTV with a co-branded campaign to promote the upcoming MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) to Taco Bell fans with a sweet deal: a Big Box Remixed special featuring four classic Taco Bell menu items with a side order of exclusive music content.
The co-branding partnership is also something of a special deal for the leading Mexican-style quick service restaurant chain, as it marks Taco Bell’s foray into the social media space of QR code packaging via a free mobile app.
In a six-week period leading up to this year’s VMAs (Aug. 28th), the remix will feature Taco Bell Feed the Beat artists Wallpaper and Chiddy Bang, as well as VMA sneak peeks and teasers, performance footage, and artist interviews.
There will also be a Friday Night Pre-VMA Concert Event sponsored by Taco Bell on Aug. 26th, and a “VMAs Hook-Up” Facebook sweepstakes that will reward one winner with a trip to a VMAs weekend beginning with the Friday Night Pre-VMA Concert.
Anyone who “likes” Taco Bell’s Facebook page, currently counting more than 7 million people, has a chance to win the package of two pre-show tickets, two tickets to the VMAs, two airline tickets, hotel room and $400 in Taco Bell gift cards.
“In anticipation of the upcoming VMAs, we are turning up the volume by giving Taco Bell and music fans access to never before seen or heard music content which includes some of the phenomenal up-and-coming talent from our Feed the Beat program,” said Taco Bell CMO David Ovens in a statement.
“We love music and the Big Box Remixed not only offers a lot of great tasting food for just five bucks, but also feeds music fans’ hunger for exciting music content accessed easily on the go.”
“Thanks to Taco Bell’s innovative VMA sponsorship, millions of their customers across the country will get music content leading up to ‘the biggest night in music,’” said Jeannie Scalzo, SVP Integrated Marketing, MTV.
The promotion also supports the food chain’s marketing partnership with MTV for Feed the Beat, a public affairs intiative that helps up-and-coming musicians by providing $500 in Taco Bell gift cards while they are on tour.
