Business Research - Freeman Audio Visual

    “An increasing number of screens and platforms compete for your audience’s ears and eyes each day. None can truly captivate their attention. Because traditional media falls short in creating genuine human experiences.

    Brand experience is the only medium that can employ every human sense to tell your story. Powerful brand experiences fully immerse audiences in sights, smells, and sounds. They invite people to discover through touch and taste.

    Brand experience is the single channel that can shape how people feel about your brand. By incorporating many senses into the experiences we design for clients, we take audiences to interesting and surprising places. We invent new realities, and we connect people in incredible ways.” https://www.freeman.com/about/what-we-do

 Adding a Personal Touch   People are scared of new things. People don’t like using products they don’t know or understand. Personal stories can be a great way to introduce people to new products by appealing to their emptions.   A “how-to” blog or vlog can introduce people to a new product. A “how-to” post can be even more effective by showcasing individuals that are also new to the product. Think of old infomercials. They would almost always have a host that was “inexperienced” with the product and a host that was the expert. The expert would show the “novice” how to use the product and it would appeal to the average person. Your blog can do the same.   Case studies can appeal directly to people, the more genuine the better. People like to read about real product experiences. People read reviews on Amazon, Yelp, TripAdvisor, and RateMyProfessors. Blogging can be an easy and curated way to provide your own reviews. Real customer reviews provided as blogs or vlogs can help inspir

 Social Media Management Tools Social media management tools are designed to reduce cost, provide efficiency, and deliver analytics to manage ROI. There are many options. Which option is best for a business depend very much on that business. First, let's examine what they all do. They all integrate multiple social media accounts into a single platform. They all manage post publication and scheduling. They all allow a variety of social media platforms (different amounts for each one). They all coordinate analytics, either onboard analytics, or coordinated external analytics. They all are going to cost.

Week 10 Part A

 Email Marketing - Newsletters In general, conventions require a great deal of planning. Consequently, convention trends tend to evolve slowly. I feel like AES newsletters should be sent out quarterly.  Most conventions take 6-12 months for planning. Most event planners only handle 1-2 large events per year. Quarterly newsletters would have the best chance of reaching the appropriate audience with timely information; without being overwhelming. New technology features, rollouts, and updates of our service would be the most important things to highlight each quarter. Most technology releases and updates happen on about that timeline, so that would work very well. Even though that information would be the most important, it wouldn't necessarily be the most highlighted information. New and updated trends within the industry would be the most highlighted features. New technology is great, but showing how that new technology supports what the event planners are already working on would
