Digital marketing made its presence known, apart from that another way of marketing that is grabbing the attention of every industry is Neuromarketing. The name sound scientific and in reality it somehow is. In this article, we will talk about what actually is Neuromarketing and its future in our world. So letās get right into the business.
āGOODBYE, THE TRADITIONAL MARKETING! HELLO, NEUROMARKETING!ā
Neuromarketing is also known as consumer neuroscience. It mainly studies the brains of consumers and tries to alter their behaviour and decision-making in favour of the businesses products or services.

Examples of Brands That Used Neuromarketing
To increase their sales and make their presence known in the market, various brands are using neuromarketing nowadays. Some of them are:
Yahoo
Yahoo created an ad of 6o seconds using electroencephalogram (EEG) where it can be seen people from around the world are dancing and are having fun. EEG reads the activity of the brain before running the ad on the TV or online. After the ad scored better, it was introduced as a branding campaign.
Frito-Lay
Frito-Lay snack used matte-finished packaging for their brandās snacks. Before launching their product, they did neuro testing, which states that people started reacting positively to the matte finish packaging of their products. Naturally, this results in a drastic increase in the profit of Frito-Lay.
HP
One of the most famous brands for electric appliances in their advertisement for phone photo printers used a very emotional topic. The neuromarketing research shows that people reacted empathetically after watching the advertisement. The advertisement helps in producing a hormone called Oxytocin, which resulted in empathizing with people which led to the audience realizing that the brand cares about them.

This method is naturally able to read people’s emotions and know what they actually need this leads to companies creating products according to the customer’s choice, which naturally led to a boost in sales of the company. Companies care about making profits, so they will definitely start applying neuromarketing as a way of marketing in the future.

Patriotism is a political ideology. It means an emotion of devotion and a sense of attachment to the homeland. This feeling creates a sentiment of oneness among all the citizens of the country. This quality is quite omnipresent in the world. We love where we are born and that attachment can be seen throughout. We feel like a part of something big and the hope that it brings is immense. That feeling of being united with all other citizens who are sharing the same land and laws is what we call patriotism.
However, as capitalism grows and more and more businesses are being set up, we can see how the world is changing. It is changing and the little elements are changing too. We see business and advertising penetrate into our daily lives. They are so omnipresent that if we don’t find them, we feel like something is missing. That kind of effect can be seen in every strata. Businesses have changed and manipulated the meaning of patriotism to its benefit. They have now begun using the term for promotions of their product. It truly makes a good combination. This article is just about that, no BS. read on to see how the marketing world innovatively uses patriotism as a promotion mechanism.
The phrase patriotic marketing is that form of marketing when the theme of the marketing campaign aligns itself with the feeling of patriotism. There are slogans, images and catchphrases to lure people and convey a message of pride and honour for the country.
This new form of advertisement uses that united and pride feeling of the citizens as their face of the marketing campaign. This helps in the wider reach of the campaign and that also ensures that people are connected to the advertisement (emotionally). The intentions are yet to be found but patriotism as a marketing technique works 9 out of 10 times in India.
It can take many forms and types. It can be promoting the product that is āMade in Indiaā, or the product being made with raw materials from India. It can also use colours to wake up the inner patriot in you. This happens every August when brands start campaigning about independence and freedom.

Moreover, they tend to change colours too, to green and saffron and white. The change in colours happens to instil the feeling of patriotism in the citizens and to cash out on the opportunity of the big independence day.
Advantages Behind these Patriotic Adverts
There are countless benefits for colouring a brand campaign into the colours of the national flag. The benefits entail some said and some unsaid feelings, it also goes through peopleās hearts. This type of marketing has to be very careful in its actions as it can make someone feel bad or offend someone in some way. If done right, it can become the recipe for success for your brand and the product that your brand offers. Let us see on what dynamics, this sort of advertisement helps and why.
Unity and crowd
This is the most basic example of why patriotic marketing works. It is the epitome of unity and connectedness in this digital world. Anything that has the ability to unite people will result in activating some sort of crowd work, which leads to more conversion of viewers into customers. Most Indians are patriots and thus most Indians will be moved by this type of marketing campaign.
Emotional appeal
There have been countless incidents that have proved that āmarketingā works mostly on principles of psychology. Humans are social animals and they love to live in clusters because it is safe and efficient. Emotions originated from being in constant company with others.
When we see something emotional, our hormones go dancing and we remember that thing for a long time. This is what marketing with any emotional theme does to our brain, it brings the emotional hormones to life and it makes them dance.
If you have read this article all this while, then you might be bored of explanations and more explanations. This chain needs to break to save the attention timeout of your brain. Let us now see a few examples to make the topic more clear.
Tata tea
This famous phrase āJaago reā is the campaign aired by Tata tea. Tata is a brand that has a long history and strong goodwill. It has maintained to face the Indian business seas for many decades now. Its history and integrity are as old and strong as India itself. Jaago re is an attempt to wake up India and act in a positive direction.
Chai or āteaā is the perfect partner for this campaign because it is the most common drink Indians have after waking up in the morning. So, going by that theme, the Jaago re campaign kicked off. The campaign aims to change how people look at India. Their tagline goes like āChai piyo, soch badloā which means to look at things from a different perspective.
As India faces many issues and problems, we cannot deny the fact that we have also done some good work in many areas. It is about perspective and the will to act in a positive direction. Jaago re which means āWake upā in English is a synonym for āWaking up to actā.
Here’s the campaign. The video entails a protagonist or the lead person giving people chai to wake them up. He says that widely awake people are still sleeping. Upon asking why, He says āIf you are not casting your vote on the day of voting and came to watch a film instead, then you’re not awake, you’re sleepingā then comes the tagline that says āJaago Reā which inspires people to be more than just onlookers onto the development of the country India. The tagline inspires people to volunteer in the process of developing the nation.
Amul
There is a big chance that you have already heard that catchy jingle that goes like āAmul doodh peeta hai Indiaā. That literally translates as āIndia drinks Amul milkā. The advertisement campaign shows various colours of India. It shows the various activities young people do, like dancing and playing and running furiously anywhere.
The youthfulness of the advertisement resembles the youthfulness of the country. The reason is the fact that India is a young nation with an average age of about 28 years. This campaign celebrates the activeness of Indian youth with a catchy jingle that is sure to get on to your mind.
There is another advertisement that propagates the brand value of Amul. It celebrates the ubiquitous nature of Amul products. The ad shows how Amul can be used everywhere where there is food. āThe Taste of Indiaā is a wonderful example of boosting revenues with the promotion in the forms of hope and unitedness.
Patanjali –
The brand needs no introduction, Patanjali is the brainchild of Baba Ramdev. Baba Ramdev is probably the most famous yoga guru in India. Also, he is by far the most notable advocate for natural living. With these touchpoints in mind and along with some Indian or patriotic marketing, he came up with the idea of Patanjali.
Patanjali is now synonymous with every Indian household. It has products that range from hair shampoos to atta noodles and more. All this with the aim of āSwadeshiā or products that are made in India and made for India.
Their marketing department knows a lot about India. They know the significance of a cow and how animals are mistreated in procuring milk or dairy products. They created a masterpiece campaign that talks about everything, from being made in India, to cow mistreatments, and safe and natural ghee.
Kajaria Tiles –
India is an under-construction country, there is always something that is under construction. The spirit of a constructing country propagates many brands that are in the construction business. One of the most iconic names is the āKajaria Tilesā. They have a campaign named āDesh ki Mittiā which reflects the intentions and emotions of Kajaria.
It was helmed by Repindia and they roped in Akshay Kumar as the brand ambassador. They made the campaign reflect upon the value that the brand wanted to propose. The tagline went like āDekh ki mitti se desh ko banate hainā which translates to āLet us build the country with its own soilā. It needs to be noted here that the campaign was highly successful among viewers.
This advertisement shows how India has turned out to be a super nation and how everyone hopes for the country. It celebrates how we say namaste in an international gathering because we are connected to the roots of our country.
The fact that Indians love their roots and it literally provides them energy to do more in life is the reason why this advertisement is quite successful. Be it in the field of sports, or war, or scientific advancements, India is not lacking behind in any sphere and we get that power from āDesh ki Mittiā that is āThe soil of our homelandā.
Coca-Cola
Coca-Cola entered the second largest country on the globe with an advertisement that portrayed āHappinessā. They have constantly tried hard to get going in that direction. It is the most popular soft drink company in India.
With its advertising around the game of cricket and uniting the different cultures of India, it has come to a point when everyone knows what coca-cola is. Thus, the company enjoys great revenues and nice goodwill. This video can be a good example to show what kind of hope and happiness this brand tries to reflect on its audience.
The real deal that these guys pull off is the India-Pakistan relation. As we all know that India and Pakistan share a love-hate relationship, brands try to monetize on this too. Coca-Cola has a very famous TVC (TV Commercial) that tries to connect people from India and the people of Pakistan a little closer.
What they did was that they install a machine in both countries. The vending machines were connected to each other through the internet or whatsoever and would only work when some actions were performed on both sides of the machines. āWorkā here means that it will give out free Coca-Cola to volunteers on both sides. So, people were dancing and singing and doodling shapes to get a free cola and meanwhile they felt that they were connected to the other countrymen.
Paytm
It would be safe to say that Paytm is the face of the beginning of cashless transactions in India. It is a startup but it does not feel any new, it feels like Paytm was an integral part of payments for years.
After the demonetisation that happened in 2016, online payments were the most efficient refuge for people trying to transact on a daily basis. It has started a tough fight that is against the problem of payments in India. We face the issue of coins every other day and it is hard to keep a lot of coins (Small denominator notes).
Paytm started a campaign that prompted people to pay digitally to make transactions a smooth flow. The Indian government also boosted and helped this campaign in its capacity. It was a wonderful and efficient way of translating for everyday essentials and it also struck a chord with citizens. It was titled āAadat se Azadiā.
Soon after that Paytm became also vocal for women participation in labour and changing and upgrading Indian payments scenes. They made some advertisements showcasing women’s roles in the economy too.
Bajaj
Here is a bonus clip for curious minds. Bajaj made a bike from the metal of INS Vikrant and made headlines along with real cash.
Do you remember the Bajaj Vikrant motorcycle, the V15? It was marketed as a machine that is built with the metal INS Vikrant. INS Vikrant is the indigenous aircraft carrier that was also the first-ever that was built in India. That bike was and still is quite famous.
Reading the above examples I can quite safely say that Anything can be a marketing campaign. Brands have not left any product that can be marketed in any permutation or combination of different themes. You mix some products with national colours and what you get is a wonderful marketing campaign. Brands do it every time.
Patriotic marketing goes a long-long way in promoting national pride and the product. It is a topic that everyone is too careful about because it can hurt some sentiments too. However, if done correctly, it can lead to great revenues and good social scores.
Some brands are too patriotic or they do that for the sake of marketing, we do not know for sure. One thing is sure that the sense of unity and pride or patriotism unites us like nothing else in the world.

Marketing is, no doubt, the backbone of any company in the 21st Century. And when it comes to big brands, they leave no stone unturned for it. They have a vast research team to calculate the risks first. Then they have a separate marketing department that is always on the go or may outsource it from big marketing agencies. But sometimes, companies come up with some crazy and insane ideas. And surprisingly, when they work, they can do wonders for the company and its sales. So, here are some successful insane marketing strategies examples, some companies did.
Pascall is an Australian brand owned by Cadbury. They once reached out to an advertisement company, Coloribus, to create a buzz campaign. Coloribus came up with an idea in which, whoever will join it, will get something. They put up a giant strawberry-shaped balloon filled with Fruit Burst’s candy and a giant pin at a distance, on a billboard. Then, they started inflating the balloon. After setting all this, they asked people to guess the exact time the balloon would burst. Whosoever would guess it precisely right, will get $5000. The website’s traffic jumped to its peak. Everyone signed up and gave their answers. This became a piece of national news and was covered by almost all the media channels. When the balloon burst, everyone looted many candies. Now, this not only made people know about the company and the product but also made people enjoy this contest and have fun. It also increased the website’s traffic.
2. You’ll Need It
Not a long time ago, when Apple launched its “old” but new iPhone, Huawei played the game. Huawei gave all the “poor” people in the queue waiting to buy iPhone XS, a power bank, and juice. They offered 10,000 mAh power banks to every person who was there to buy an iPhone. The box of power banks came with a message “Here’s a power bank. You’ll need it. Courtesy of Huawei”. Huawei then tweeted about it and wrote: “see you in London.” In London, Huawei was ready to serve juice to people at the Apple store with the tagline “brain-boosting drinks (with no traces of apple) to recharge minds.” This was a fantastic campaign that made fun of Apple and informed people about the upcoming Huawei flagship device, Mate 20. People might have bought iPhone XS even then, but Huawei was successful in grabbing the world’s attention.
You might remember it, in 2014, when the first phone of a company, whose name was enough to create a buzz, ll, started a campaign called “Smash your past.” According to the campaign, people have to smash their old phones and make a video. The company will give them a new OnePlus One phone for just $1 that was a flagship phone and can beat phones like the iPhone or Samsung’s S series. They published a list of phones which were eligible for this campaign. This strategy spread all across the globe. And surprisingly, many people smashed their old phones. This gave this company a boost in the market, and now there are several OnePlus phones available in the market, and it is considered one of the premium brand phones.
Who would have never tried or drunk Coca-Cola? Hardly anyone. Coca-cola is a fantastic soda company, but it also does the most creative marketing campaigns. Some time ago, Coca-Cola partnered with the Shazam app and created digital posters in some cities. People have to open the Shazam app, and it will connect to that screen or digital billboard, which is showing a bottle of Coca-Cola. When people make the sound of sipping on their phones, Coca-Cola will start reducing in the screen, making you feel like you are drinking it. It may be childish, but it was creative. And once you do that, you would get an urge to drink Coca-Cola. So, this not only attracted some local media but also increased sales in that particular area. Also, the Shazam app got a pretty good number of downloads.āā
It doesn’t matter if you are at your home or in space, an essential thing to live for is Pizza. And when we hear the term “pizza,” the first company that comes to our mind is Pizza Hut. In 2001, Pizza Hut delivered a pizza to the International Space Station. They not only spent over a million dollars on this campaign but also did in-depth research on it. In space, the taste buds become dull, which makes any food boring. But there is no word like “boring pizza” in Pizza Hut’s dictionary. They made their Pizza in such a way that the astronauts would love it. This was a publicity stunt led by Pizza Hut to grab attention. It made them the first pizza company to deliver its Pizza to space. The next time you want to order a pizza, you can trust them for providing it on time.
Marketing campaigns are essential for a business’s growth. And they have become so popular these days that most brands depend on their marketing strategies to sell well and earn well. It has become much easier to make marketing campaigns popular with the help of social media. However, if you want to start a campaign, then make sure it is creative enough to appeal to people. Don’t make a drive worth sharing. It will ultimately lead to wastage of efforts, money, and resources or might also result in a lack of existing customers’ interest. The more image, native and attractive your campaign is going to be, the more are people might like it. Nothing can be better if your campaign would be relatable to people’s needs and problems. They will feel more connected. For example, At the time of College admissions, Pepsi put up big billboards having the slogan, “Cut-off is temporary, Swag is permanent,” making the students feel engaged and reinstating the brand’s proposition of “Har Ghoont Mein Swag.”

Segmentation. Your existing and potential customers fall into particular groups or segments, characterized by their ‘needs’.
Targeting and positioning. You should aim to sell to the market segments that will be most profitable for your business.
Marketing is changing as technology advances, and businesses are discovering new ways to market and advertise to their target audiences. Email marketing is an excellent marketing method that has helped corporations, non-profits, and even hobbyists achieve their aims. The fact that email is an effective type of permission marketing is what makes it so strong. It can provide ROIs of up to 4400 percent.
The term “permission marketing” was coined in 1999 and has since become a major aspect of marketing and advertising. Simply said, it’s a new way for businesses to send adverts and promotional information to customers if they agree. Seth Godin is the one to thank for this method. According to him, traditional kinds of marketing, such as invasive or interruptive promotion, he argued, were losing their effectiveness as customers gained more control over the content they read. This problem has been overcome by permission marketing. Permission marketing is a type of marketing in which marketers seek permission to disseminate marketing materials to their target audiences. A double opt-in subscription is commonly used to accomplish this.
Permission marketing is a notion that has been around for over a decade, yet it has been employed in practice since the dawn of humanity. The concept of “customer participation in dialogue,” which is the foundation of trust marketing, has been employed by many entrepreneurs. Sellers formed their ties with potential clients through human contact and communication in the days before conveyor production, mass media advertising, or mass distribution. This approach was more soulful and kind in character, and it was based on the user’s voluntary engagement.
If you run an apparel e-commerce shop, for example, and you want your clients to sign up for your marketing emails, you can offer them a valuable offer or discount if they do so. You should also send them offers that motivate them to buy from your company on a regular basis to keep them involved with your brand through email marketing. In basic terms, you may say you’re marketing to a segment of your specialised market, but on their terms.
Permission marketing is divided into two categories: Express and Implicit.
Getting customers Email Address
1. Express Permission Marketing
To get marketing messages, the customer supplies their email address. They might, for example, subscribe to a newsletter. When it comes to forming new company ties, express marketing is very frequent. When you directly ask for a person’s email address and they give you permission to send them marketing emails ā usually via a form or a checkbox – this is known as express permission.
2. Implied Permission Marketing
The company already has a relationship with its customers. This could be a current customer or a regular visitor to the site. When someone offers you their email address for a business purpose but does not expressly say they want to receive commercial emails from you, you have implied consent. A client who fills out a “contact us” form or a form to gain access to a gated resource are two examples.
Permission Marketing Benefits
1. Brands will stop being invasive, targeting customers, and/or interfering with their everyday lives, and instead adopt a strategy that focuses on enticing and persuading them through bidirectional communications. We must exercise caution since not being invasive indicates that we are unable to overwhelm. If consumers have given us permission to send them information, we shouldn’t fall into the trap of bombarding them with it as much as possible.
2. Users are waiting for information to be collected. This strategy ensures that, as a brand in our selected category, we have captured their attention and are at the top of their minds. Our greatest plan is to keep this active point active, if possible, so that we can not only stay on their minds, but also persuade them to become brand evangelists and tell their friends and acquaintances about us.
3. Permission marketing gives customers the option of whether or not they want to be marketed to. Permission marketing offers the most significant benefit over regular marketing in the context of levels of engagement. This is because your primary audience is already invested in whatever you have to deliver.
4. Permission marketing is when a consumer consents to receiving information about a product or service. This sort of marketing is done over the phone or via the Internet and is an easier way to reach the targeted audience.
Example of Permission Marketing | Popular Brands Customers Loyalty Cards
Permission marketing can also be accomplished through the use of loyalty cards. Members provide you with their information and give you permission to use that to send them promotional material when they sign up for your loyalty programme.
2. RSS Feeds
Permission marketing can be easily implemented using basic syndication, or RSS, feeds. This is a method of delivering a notification to your customers informing them of your recently launched products or information.
3. Opt-in emails
This is where a user has expressed interest in receiving your emails. This is the epitome of permission marketing. Members not only receive the email, but they are also given a wonderful chance to purchase a coupon code.
Traditional marketing is not replaced by permission marketing; rather, it is supplemented by it. It is intended for users who are in the process of selecting goods and services and researching the sector. This method entails building long-term connections with customers by creating value – before you can receive something, you must first give something. Obtaining the user’s contact information and engaging with him via various channels is a vital step.

Using artificial intelligence in marketing has now become a norm as it has transformed the Marketing Industry.
Yes, I’m talking about Elon Musk fearing that the advancements in AI might create human hunting robots and it would be us, mortals, against AI-powered geniuses. However, there has been an increase in companies using AI for marketing and ad campaigns.
Artificial intelligence plays a big role in marketing, as it helps companies to make decisions based on the data collected by a company. The use of artificial intelligence in marketing will help you get the data could be anything from the customerās favourite hangout places to their birthdays.
Any AI marketing strategy helps data to be collected from general behaviours of consumers from polls on social media, surveys, and their interests when surfing the internet. Marketing teams along with AI study consumer patterns and accordingly place and plan their AI marketing campaigns.
AI has suspended a large area of the consumer field where everything can be predicted. The AI marketing research mainly consists of collecting and analyzing data, media buy-in, personalization, content creation, and much more. This case study on artificial intelligence shows you how most of the marketing tasks are highly dependent on AI these days.
Why Is AI A Good Approach For Marketing?
AI-based marketing has entirely changed the way people use social media. Before it sneaked into every device, social media was leisure, rather, luxury.
Cut to today, every individual and even kids are owners of smartphones enabling them access to social media and shopping sites because of the artificial intelligence advertising campaigns. Your everyday social media behaviour is what fuels the study of AI-based marketing tools. With this being done, marketers can reach up to a larger demographic without spending a fortune on marketing campaigns.
Many AI marketing companies use core elements like Big Data, Machine Learning, and other powerful solutions that allow AI to get adopted quickly by a marketer. Big data is nothing but a prodigious amount of data aggregated by the marketer and segmented into various categories with a minimal amount of manual work.
With the help of big data, marketers can personalize every message sent to their customers. Like mentioned earlier, several marketers keep an eye on repetitive actions which offer deeper insight into responses. It is a demanding task when we try to make sense out of the massive data collected. This is where machine learning and AI in marketing are used.
You may have been familiar with pop-up messages or push notifications from the apps you install from time to time. These messages are powered by AI-programmed systems and automated to deliver context in a specified manner. There are several other AI marketing strategies that marketers have adopted to keep you hooked and engaged. Let us have a look at what they are.
Pay-per-click (PPC) is an online advertising model used to drive viewer traffic to the website. Nowadays AI-based marketing is used in every blog, website, and video. When you visit a certain page and click on the link containing an advertisement, it directs you to the said website.
This is an AI marketing analytics used by the advertiser where they pay the publisher every time a user clicks on the link. Some of the tops AI marketing companies like Facebook ads, Instagram, Twitter Ads, Google Ads make PPC Ads.

Personalization
If you have your mailbox overflowing with promotional emails, worry not, youāre not alone. Personalization has become a crucial contributor to every company where they want you to feel like the most sought-after customers.
Personalized messaging has a direct influence over your mind giving you the impression that this auto-generated message was especially typed for you because it has your name on it. Artificial intelligence marketing helps organizations to place bids on relevant ad spaces in real-time. With critical analytics and results from big data, artificial intelligence, and marketing you can send personalized messages to individuals.
The AI tools for marketing are not limited to just emails. Have you noticed how Netflix uses your previously watched movies and gives recommendations based on past experience? Or how it shows you different imageries for the same movie every time you open it? Their blog, Netflix tech blog, talks about how creating different imageries for the same movie or show has got viewers hooked to Netflix all day long.
Netflix using Different imageries for the same show
A movie title may not be that intriguing. But a picture is worth a thousand words. It may contain a familiar face, your favourite actor, something that draws you in and keeps you engaged.
Predictive analytics is based on processing the historical data of a demographic to understand or carve a pattern or predict future behaviour. Predictive analytics is an AI marketing strategy that compares the trends and patterns of different data sets and pulls out a new analysis using a mathematical āmodel which helps companies prepare for whatās coming.
It could be identifying a customer likely to ditch a service or product, or a customer who is likely to stick around and send them marketing campaigns. AI marketing companies use predictive analysis to improve current services and make organizational changes accordingly.
Deep learning
Deep learning is a class of machine learning algorithms used to extract higher-level data from raw input and is considered to be the future of AI in digital marketing.Machine learning and AIin marketing are important because they help in creating voice-controlled chatbots, image recognition (in the case of Facebook), and predicting customer interests.
Many brick-and-mortar stores are turning to AI systems enabled by deep learning such as cashier-less counters, contactless payment options, and virtual baskets. One of the popular AI in marketing examples is Amazon GO stores that have adopted auto checkouts where AI-enabled cameras detect the movements of customers and add items to a virtual basket. Customers can check themselves out after making payments online.

Hopefully, this artificial intelligence case study would have helped you understand the importance of artificial intelligence in marketing.
AI tools are used in marketing to learn how to best communicate with customers, then serve them tailored messages at the right time.
What are the 3 stages of AI?
The three stages of AI are artificial narrow intelligence (ANI), artificial general intelligence (AGI), and artificial superintelligence (ASI).
How AI is used in mobile marketing?
AI used to craft more targeted and personalized marketing messages such as special offers and ads by spotting consumers’ behavioural trends and patterns.
Ho does AI work in digital marketing?
Artificial intelligence is transforming customer-facing services for digital marketers by increasing efficiency and optimizing user experience.
Is AI the future of marketing?
AI is changing the future of digital marketing, that is certain. It’s not so much about what new developments are happening, but also what new trends are likely to emerge over the next few years.
How is AI used in Marketing?
One common example of AI across the web is the use of chatbots to provide customer services to users.
What is AI marketing?
Artificial intelligence plays a big role in marketing, as it helps companies to make decisions based on the data collected by a company.
With 206 million daily active users worldwide as of the second quarter of 2021, Twitter, symbolised by the renowned bluebird, grew from the ashes of a failed company named Odeo to become the #1 platform for discovery and generally regarded as the Internet’s SMS.
It originated as a text messaging network that limited tweets to 140 characters (now changed to 280 characters). One of Twitter’s co-founders, Jack Dorsey, sent the first tweet on March 21, 2006, with the message “just setting up my twttr.” Twitter has evolved to be one of the most popular social networking platforms in the last decade, with over 200 million monthly active users.
Twitter is a social networking and news website where users exchange brief messages known as tweets. Biz Stone, Jack Dorsey, Evan Williams, and Noah Glass launched it in 2006 after another firm, Odeo, was stung by the introduction of Apple’s iTunes. Twitter’s headquarters are located in San Francisco, California.
You may send tweets to everyone who follows you on Twitter, hoping that someone will find your remarks valuable and entertaining. Unregistered users can only read tweets, but registered users may send, write like and receive tweets.
Microblogging is a term that might be used to describe Twitter and tweeting. Despite being 15 years old and having over 300 million monthly active users, the network is still in its infancy in terms of revenues. And, because the platform is free to use, it’s not immediately obvious how Twitter makes money.
Twitter makes money from its users’ attention in two ways: advertising and data licencing. Advertising generated 87 per cent of company income at over $1.05 billion in 2020, up 87 per cent. The remaining portion is data licencing, which increased by 9% year over year to over $137 million, mainly due to corporate clients using data analysis.
Although marketers pay to depend on the number of clicks or retweets, a pre-determined advertising budget is specified at the start of a campaign. Advertisers may also utilise streaming video advertisements on the site to target a specific demographic. Content producers may use features like live streaming and video on demand to expand their worldwide reach and user engagement.
Twitter makes money from data licencing in two ways:
It provides data products and licences allowing Twitter’s data partners to search, access, and analyse historical and real-time data derived from public tweets and their content and it also provides mobile advertising exchange services through the MoPub exchange.
What distinguishes Twitter from other social media platforms?
Keeping things clean and clear is the way to go, whether the goal is to build a personal brand, advertise a product/service, or do anything else that attracts public notice. What could be better than a platform that allows you to communicate with the rest of the world in just 280 characters?
Twitter promises to take all reasonable steps to prevent authorised parties from misusing data. It follows the Digital Advertising Alliance Self-Regulatory Principles for Online Behavioral Advertising. Twitter implemented labels in November 2020 to alert users about the possibility of error in the information provided in a tweet. This community users includes people from many areas of life. Twitter allows anybody to immediately communicate their thoughts and opinions with the rest of the world.
Only when the user has given their consent is personal data shared with digital marketers. Twitter’s privacy policy lays out all the options and urges users to read it to see how their data is used.
Advertisements provide for the majority of Twitter’s revenue, and users can view various advertising on the network.
Advertisers who want to reach a larger audience or increase interaction from their existing followers can purchase Promoted Tweets, much like average Tweets that users can engage with. Using its proprietary algorithms, Twitter algorithms aim to display sponsored tweets on user timelines that may spark their interest in the product or service. Promoted tweets allow companies to increase their visibility.
Promoted Accounts is a way of gaining followers by promoting one’s account to related individuals. Users can get recommendations for “Who to follow” on Twitter which is determined by user choices, demographics, geography, and overall platform activity. It may assist a new brand in promoting itself and an established brand in boosting a new campaign and making it viral. Advertisers may utilise this to build a community of Twitter users interested in their products or services.
Promoted Trends Hashtags give you a sense of what’s hot right now. Promoted Trends are a 24-hour high-impact takeover of Twitter’s Trends list, according to Twitter.
They appear in the first or second slots in the “Trends for you” section, in a user’s timeline and the “Explore” page, and are used to launch something new or relate to present conditions. Businesses can subscribe to Twitter for a fee.
Businesses may extract valuable insights from this data using various complex analytical tools at their disposal, allowing them to better respond to customer demands.
Data Licensing
Partners can use Twitter’s data licencing offering to access, search, and analyse real-time Twitter data made up of Public Tweets. Twitter distributes about 500 million tweets with data partners every day, but only with a few firms.
Exchange MoPub
Twitter’s MoPub Exchange is a mobile advertising exchange that connects advertisers to sell ad inventory with buyers eager to acquire it. Twitter is paid a fee for each transaction that takes place on the exchange.
Conclusion
Twitter’s business strategy has stayed constant throughout time, and the company is still aiming to become profitable but has failed to do so.
Despite all of its grandeur, excitement, and effect, its stock performance has been terrible, and many have dubbed its business model “broken.” Twitter has experienced several losses over the years, and the beatings will continue until the business model is adjusted or changed.
It’s a harsh reality that monetisation has been a challenge for Twitter, and rumours abound that corporations like Disney and Salesforce may be interested in acquiring the company.
Twitter was created by Jack Dorsey, Noah Glass, Biz Stone, and Evan Williams in 2006.
How does Twitter make money?
Twitter makes money basically from two main sources which are:
Advertisement and Promotions
Data Licensing
What are microblogging platforms?
Microblogging platforms are platforms for sharing text, image, or video based blog in which content is typically smaller in both actual and aggregated file size. Some of the top microblogging platforms are:
There are many forms of advertisements right from Print, Broadcast, Ā Podcasts, Email marketing, and Digital Advertisements. These are merely some examples. Anyway, there is one thing in common that all these advertisements have. That is, you know that these brands are consciously and deliberately pursuing you to buy their products. You know they are marketing their products and services to you.
Do you think people could advertise their products without doing it? Yes, there exists one such form of advertising which does it in a more subtle manner; and whether you know it or not, your brain unconsciously registers that. This type of advertisement is called product placement. It is a risky business, but when done correctly, product placement can have a huge impact.
Though this is a debated topic, some scholars argue that the first product placement to be ever done started with a painting done by Edward Monet in the year 1882 for a beer-selling company.
Edward Monet Painting
Another one is said to have been done for a movie none other than the Lumiere brothers’film in the year 1896. It was a soap manufactured by a British company, the Lever Brothers. However, the first ever product placement to be documented was in the year 1920.
1920 – The Garage, Red Crown Gasoline
The first documented case of a company paying to place their product that was ever recorded was for a silent movie, The Garage starring Fatty Arbuckle and Roscoe Arbuckle.
1927 – The Hershey’s chocolate, Wings
The trend started emerging and the Marx Brothers caught up with it in the year. Fun fact: the first movie, which won an Academy Award, also did have product placement. It was, of course, for Wings, and the first appearance of Hershey’s Chocolate bars featured.
How Product placement entered the mainstream in the 1980s: A Brief History
So how did really the business of in-film product placement boom?
The production team was not really paid back then to place their products in the movies. But it involved a different deal. Like asking: do you need a car for your movie? And if the team would say yes, then the brands would let them use their products for free or create cross-promotional campaigns that feature both the product and the movie. Until the 20th century, mostly the concept was pretty much informal.
Guess the company that paid a million dollars to promote their company?
‘Reeses Pieces’ Product Placement in ‘Extra Terrestrial’
A hint: The company sells chocolate products. In the early 1980s, the trend went mainstream, and Steven Spielberg’s new film was to promote Hershey’s brand.
Initially, the deal involved Mars, but it withdrew away from being featured, but then a deal was made between Hershey’s marketing executive. The Reese’s pieces were used and in exchange Hershey’s was to create a 1 million dollar campaign for the film. The sales of the product went up, which had only been introduced years ago.
Until the 1982s, the movie, The Extra-terrestrial was a huge success, both as a movie and for doing product placement.
Product Placement’s in Current scenario
The practice of consciously placing products in movies is almost a common practice now in the twenty-first century. So much now that it does not only involve films and movies, but also many famous web series that were huge hit. And we know that Netflix does this all the time. Even though Netflix denies the fact. Namely, there are three types of product placements which are explained in brief below:
The three types of product placements are:
Screen placements
‘Burger King’ Product placement in ‘Stranger Things’
In screen placements, the products are usually placed in the foreground or the background.
There is no mention of the name of the product, but the product is shown on screen and is given a fair amount of time to get noticed by the audience.
Script placements
‘KitKat’ Product placement in ‘Sex Education’
Let us take an example of the Netflix show’s last episode of Sex Education from season 3. Both our characters Eric and Otis deliberately mention the product name KitKat, when Eric’s lines say it all.
Otis: “What do you want?
Eric: “Umā¦ Oh, a KitKat. Always a KitKat”
And when Otis offers Hope one when she is having a mental breakdown in the hospital.
Hope: I donāt need a KitKat
Plot Placement
‘Beats’ Product placement in ‘Only Murders in The Building’
Making the products connected to a character and integrating it as a part of your film. Let’s take Beats Studios Wireless Headphones in the web series “Only Murders in the Building” where Selena’s character’s first appearance as Mabel clearly features using the headphones when she steps into the elevator and the product is subtly mentioned by the other character _ trying to make a conversation with her.
The product is so seamlessly blended with the character that even when their podcast gains popularity you can see the fans using the same headphones while sitting outside the building. It creates an emotional bond.
We could say the same with Eggos and Evelyn intertwining the product with a character in Stranger Things.
