Does Your Marketing Pass the 5 Second Test?
By Rikki Arundel
Do receive Junk Mail?

About 60% of all the mail I receive is junk. Now how long does it take you to pick up an item of mail, open it, decide that it’s of no interest and bin it?The usual response I get to that question at seminars is “We don’t even open most of it”.

How long do you spend deciding whether an advertisement or article is of interest? When you walk past a trade show booth how long does it take to decide if it’s of interest? How long do you look at each result when you use a search engine?How long to decide if an email is junk and delete it?

The answer is "Less than 5 seconds" - often less than 2 seconds.

That is how long we have to Get Attention from a prospective buyer. And there is no reprieve – once our message is rejected or ignored, there is almost no chance that someone will return to it.

So what is it that gets our attention?

Sometimes the headline or a picture resonates with a problem we are trying to solve.Like many women there are always a few gaps in my wardrobe that I know need filling, so when I see something that looks as if it may answer a need, I stop to have a look – even if I am in a rush.

In my local city centre there are lots of cafe’s, restaurants and shops that sell food and snacks. If I am not hungry those places get next to no attention.When I am hungry they become the focus of my attention.

When my priorities

change, what gets my attention changes.

I know this seems obvious – but it’s the secret to getting attention and the secret to successful marketing.

Get to know your market

If you understand a market well, you have a much better idea of what is a priority at any point in time. However it is essential that you learn to put yourself in the shoes of your customers. The products you sell are irrelevant. No matter how much you believe you are the best – your customers will only believe that after personal experience. So avoid over promoting and "selling" yourself or your product.

People buy what you or your product will do for them."What's in it for me."Our customers are totally self interested.The mistake so many businesses make is to "Find a product they like and try to sell it."

Instead I recommend that you "Find a problem or need people have, and fix it."

If you know what people want, you don’t have to sell – they will be queuing up to buy, provided you deliver a competitive offering. Research and study your market, ask your customers why they bought from you, read the same magazines and web sites they read. Get to know what your market wants and then provide it.

"You can have anything you want in life just as long as you help enough other people get what they want in life." Zig Zigler.

• Google Ads Do Not 'Pop Up'
  Those who know me all to well are aware of my irritating resistance to the word "pop up" in connection with Google AdWords ads.That was one of my many suggested corrections to a recent story on Google ads over at The Register, for example.My take is that slipping the term "pop up" in journalistic pieces about Google (as in, "and for only a dollar or so, Mr. Neufeldt's ad would pop up on Google when searchers typed the words 'truck tires'...") is part of an ongoing, insidious campaign by sellers <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956033"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956033" border="0"/></a></div>
• YouTube Copyright "Fair Deal" Methodology
  Stale news, but interesting:Jeremy Toeman received a notice from UMG regarding his posting of a video on YouTube that included copyrighted content (U2's Beautiful Day) in the background. The offer from the copyright owner, facilitated through YouTube, basically said, go ahead and leave the video up if you wish, but we'll be showing advertising on it.To some this might sound heavy-handed; to others, a nice compromise. I tend to think the latter. As Toeman writes, "I'm basically being encouraged b <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956032"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300956032" border="0"/></a></div>

• Revenge of the Straw Man Argument: Jarvis Unhinged
  Jeff Jarvis, apparently writing a book called What Would Google Do?, must have Michel Foucault spinning delightedly in his grave, as he has just discovered post-modernity! Jarvis asserts that "the Internet" is what "... opens up creativity past one-size-fits-all mass measurements and priestly definitions."I understand that as a journalism professor whose job apparently hinges on the lucrative current trade in old-media-bashing, Jarvis sort of has to say this stuff. "Curmudgeons" don't get invite <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300836331"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=300836331" border="0"/></a></div>
• Google Street View: showing us what we may or may not want to see
  I?m typing this post from my basement. Yep, I?m holed up here with bottles of water, canned tuna and powdered milk ? everything I?ll need to survive the Apocalypse. I can only assume Judgment Day is upon us, given the new low human contact recently hit when Google employee Michael Weiss-Malik proposed to his girlfriend using Google Street View.

• Example SearchMonkey Deployment
  So basically, what SearchMonkey does is allow publishers to push their customized content look and feel right into the Yahoo Search results. Well, not push, actually, but make available, based on open formats. So for users who opt into the widget for any given company's rich content, if the listing for that content comes up in search results, custom look-and-feel info included. So if it's a Yelp review, you get a bit of the Yelp "richness, look, and feel" right on Yahoo.When I search for "g h jo <div class='nifad'><a href="http://www.pheedo.com/click.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=299322737"><img src="http://www.pheedo.com/img.phdo?x=f12728ffbc9f44cc94f52c398cf8cd7a&u=299322737" border="0"/></a></div>
• Linkworthy: Yahoo and Searchmonkey Progress
  Linkworthy for a Friday:Yahoo is now automatically enabling formatted Yelp, LinkedIn, and Yahoo Local results via its SearchMonkey rich data / open formats platform. I'm a big fan of SearchMonkey and happy to see Yahoo forging ahead with it. P.S. Yahoo should acquire Yelp and LinkedIn.This dude is dumping Outlook for web-based email. Welcome to the club, finally!
