V2Process™ Why Your Brand is So Important

Why Your Brand is So Important A Great Brand is Great for Business and V2Works is Great for Your Brand First, what is a brand? It’s not a logo. It’s not an identity. It’s not a product. So what is it? A brand is a person’s perception of a product, service or business. This impression is simply based on a customer’s gut feeling. People are emotional, intuitive beings, and they are not simply looking to purchase something; they are looking for confirmation of their way of life. FACT: BRANDS ARE NOT DEFINED BY BUSINESSES, MARKETS OR THE SO-CALLED “PUBLIC,” THEY ARE DEFINED BY A SUMMARY OF INDIVIDUAL PERCEPTIONS AND OPINIONS V2Works’ Brandgineers help you construct a consistent branding strategy — in combination with innovative design — that effectively communicates [...]

V2Process™ Understanding What a True Brand is

Understanding what a True Brand is At V2Works we are Committed to Building True Brands Instead of Brand Impersonators What’s the difference? The reality is that most products and services — no matter their level of consumer awareness — aren’t actually true brands anymore. Most used to be; but likely that was back in the last century. What were once brands, quietly morphed into what might more accurately be described as brand impersonators. A brand impersonator is a more accurate designation for products and services that have high levels of awareness in the categories in which they compete, but whose values are so basic, so rooted in command of product or service that they are not consciously differentiated from their competition in the minds of the consumer. Since a [...]

The Case for Creativity in Business to Business Advertising

Let’s be honest, sometimes the typical formula for B2B marketing materials can be dry. You can make a checklist of what the typical ad entails: product shot, list of features and benefits, a few specifications, maybe a price, a logo with contact information, and a call to action. It's easy to forget that there is another person on the other end, a person who will make a connection to your product by experiencing an emotional response to your brand. Of course, in the end the consumer will likely compare apples to apples in regards to specs to price, but the emotional marketing techniques for B2C can still be invaluable for B2B. In an ad, you have a split second to make an impression. Whether you’re using a bold color, a [...]

Are you accurately measuring the success of your e-mail marketing campaigns?

In e-mail marketing, there are two pieces of data that are commonly used to evaluate success; the open rate and the click-through rate. A common misconception is that the open rate is a good indicator of response, and it is if your open rate is being tracked reliably. Unfortunately it’s becoming harder and harder to accurately track the open-rate. When you consider that the margin of error for the open rate can range anywhere from 11% - 35%, it’s hard to understand how the open rate provides any real value for determining success. Why is the open rate so unreliable? In order to understand why the open rate isn’t a reliable metric, we first need to understand how it’s calculated. Open rates are typically tracked using a transparent 1x1 pixel [...]
