Google+ Hangouts Move Towards Acceptance as Marketing Tools

While reading the article "Google+ Hangouts Move Towards Acceptance as Marketing Tools" by Don Willmott his quotation of noted Google+ Hangout consutant, Brandee Sweesy caught my attention

“You see many more Internet marketers and entrepreneurs using them,” Sweesy says. “It’s still kind of new, and the theory behind it isn’t necessarily intuitive. More people need to understand the value of Hangouts, but it’s just a matter of time before the bigger companies say, ‘Oh, now I get it. It’s about engagement. It’s real, it’s live. It’s interaction with customers.’ I’ve only started to see it explode in the past three months as more marketers understand the value proposition.”

Don continues his article giving examples of companies that have successfully employed Google+ and Google Hangouts in their marketing efforts over the last year.

Adding Video Marketing for Business in Your Strategic Growth Plans

Being in business is more than just having a product or a service and putting it out for others to buy. Any enterprise should come with a strategic marketing plan if it wants to survive the fierce competition in the world of business. While larger corporations have their own marketing departments and business consultants to do the job for them, smaller enterprises and home businesses do not have that luxury. Luckily, there are resources both online and offline that small business owners can rely on to help them with initiatives like advertising, promotions, lead generation, and video marketing for business. Those with a little more money in their purses can hire consultants to guide them through the process of crafting a strategic marketing plan that makes use of the latest tools.  However, an enterprise with very little financial resources can read up on the latest trends in marketing and plan out their own strategies.
