A six-year-old debate: Internet versus non-Internet marketingThe answer to the article is as simple as ABC,if you are involved in a business or you are running a business,you must know your customers or i can simple say what you want to achieve (awareness, acquisition, conversion, retention, CRM etc.) and then choosing the right marketing tool of your business.
The difficult point in marketing is to use the old method while your customers are moving digital and that will result in the end of that particular business,my take is yes we cannot compare South Africa with United States or with any other developed country but the point is we are moving forward and that forward is digital,for now we can use stats to determine whether we go online or offline,with the introduction of Social media one can believe that online is the future,yes the answer will be where can i meet my customers now,so the article is not wrong at all,while marketers are with the believe that online is the future yes they are right,globalisation is another factor that will come to the picture.
I can now sum up and say to others Global Warming was a doom dream but others believe it,so is like online,
The future is Integrated.

Are you making the right choices for your tertiary education?I agree with the fact that to many people will never use the degrees for which they have spent so much money to attain.
Look at courses that will stand you in good stead no matter what you end up doing in the future. Learn skills like NLP and Coaching. Skills that you can use in your own business or as a leader working for somebody else.

High cost of tertiary education in SAPeople are paying out thousands of rand's on courses and degrees that their children often don't pursue as a career and that money is wasted.
What about spending your hard earned cash on courses that will stand your self or your children in good stead the rest of your lives? Something that you can and will use in everyday day from now and forever. Stand out from the competition in the work place, be a better leader, learn how to communicate and have the ability to go for what you want.
Look at skills like Neuro Linguistic Programing (NLP) or Coaching and then you can decide on which career path will suit you best.

FNBBrilliant ad. Brilliant follow up from The Steve campaing.

Standard BankMay I disagree with you. FNB's Steve ad campaign had a lot of personality. And because everyone knew about Steve they went to hear what Steve was saying. I do agree that it shouldn't lose the message though ;-)

Standard BankThe yellow car makes me think of MTN. They should have used a blue one. Consistency.
I was so focused on all the dancing and the funny background music that I still do not know what you were advertising.

Incorrect media planning is costlyThe article deals with media in general with the only exception of a billboard example being used. This could just as well have been an example of an electronic or print medium. In my opinion it is a matter of creative first (the creating of the message based on the brief and the demographics of the target market of course) then only can the message be delivered (media). Does the delivery of a message come before the content/message? I think not...

Lipton's floating vending machine attracts bathersCongratulations to the team involved - this is seriously good marketing! Innovative and great brand associations. I hope it was as successful as it deserved to be.

A six-year-old debate: Internet versus non-Internet marketingInteresting read, but the debate for most marketers has been for more than 6 years old... We had these debates way back in the late 90's and early 2000's when integrated marketing became the way forward (on and offline comms) and will be the way forward
I guess it also depends on what you want to achieve (awareness, acquisition, conversion, retention, CRM etc.) and then choosing the right marketing weapon of choice. But in a nutshell counting mobile as digital - we have more or less 100% penetration in this country with more SIM cards than population and taking all handsets into consideration from your basic samsung to your smartphones.
I would agree with some of your sentiment, but to me digital is now becoming the hub or glue connecting all the touch-points. The future is BRIGHT the future is DIGITAL. The future is Integrated.

Knights Take Down #9 Bethel University
It wasn't only a good day for football, it was a great day for KCU Football. Kentucky Christian played host to western Tennessee's Bethel University, a Mid-South Conference West Division opponent, and the holder of the NAIA #9 ranking in the most recent poll.
On the opening kickoff return, Bethel fumbled, and the Knights recovered inside the 10 yard line. 90 seconds into the game, KCU was up 7-0. Bethel was able to put a field goal on the board before the end of the first quarter, but KCU countered with one of their own early in the second, bringing the score to 10-7. Minutes later, KCU's Andrew Slikker attempted what would have been a KCU-record 53 yarder. He had the distance, but the kick was pulled left. Minutes later, Bethel scored their only touchdown of the day on an interception made by a pass-rusher who blocked the ball and secured it before running 15 yards for the score. The Knights scored twice more in the second quarter on passes from Graham Johnston, first to Marcus Hicks for 5 yards, then to Jalen Simmons, for 32 yards. At the half, the score was KCU 24, Bethel 10.
During the halftime, a Knight-naming ceremony was held. Kentucky Christian University unveiled a new mascot recently, and a naming contest was held. Today Dr. Metcalf presided over the "Dubbing of the Knight" ceremony. Our new mascot has now been introduced, and is to be known as K. C. Winsalot. After a fantastic show by the KCU Marching Knight Band, we were back to football.
The second half was hotly contested, and the heat played a major factor. Players from both sides went down with cramping issues on several occasions. At the end of it all, the halftime score held out to the be the final. The Knights are now 1-1, and next week host Reinhardt University.

Lightning GM Steve Yzerman is facing some tough decisions in the coming weeks if his team's goaltending does not get more consistent. Yzerman has come out in support of his goalies, telling everyone who would listen that both Dan Ellis and Mike Smith are talented players and he feels that the efforts will get better as the season moves along.
In an effort to help his players, Coach Guy Boucher met with both goalies and told them to keep things simple. Boucher felt they had been trying to do more than they need to during the game and they needed to let them game come to them.
Ellis has started 17 games this season with a 3.23 goals against average and a save percentage of .876%. He's tied for the team lead with eight wins and has two shutouts. Smith also has eight wins with a 3.57 goals against and save percentage of .872%.
The team is 10th in the NHL in points and averaging 3.1 goals for on the season, so it would be reasonable to hope that the goalies can give up three goals or less a night. Ellis has done that in 14 of the 20 games and Smith in 10 of his 15 contests. It's the inconsistent play that has to drive Yzerman and Boucher crazy, as Ellis and Smith both show on some nights they are as good as anyone in the league.
Is the defense in front of the goalies doing everything they can to help? Well the team is giving up the second fewest shots per game in the NHL. So they are not seeing the number of shots per game that some goalies are facing. Mental toughness and concentration have to be what Ellis and Smith are both fighting in net on a nightly basis. It is a curse of having a quality offensive team in front of them.
If you compare Ellis and Smith against Montreal goalie Carey Price, who is considered the best goalie in the NHL through the first two-plus months of the season, it's not even close. To give you some perspective, Price has given up two goals or less in 16 of his 27 games this year and three goals or less in 25 of 27 games. So with the offense on this club how many more wins would the team have if they could get consistent play in goal as Price has given the Canadians?
Yzerman and Boucher have both come out in support of the Ellis and Smith with the hopes they will be able to turn things around but if they do not what option might the team have in making any changes? Well Ellis is under contract for next year at a reasonable salary at $1.5 million for next year and Smith's contract is up at the end of year. So Smith seems to be the likely one to go, but for who and what might the Bolts have to give up to improve in net?
The phone that may ring in Detroit has Yzerman calls and inquires about Chris Osgood, who is a Stanley Cup champion goalie and currently backing up in Hockeytown. If the team gets real creative they might think about calling Vancouver and inquiring about Corey Schneider, the 24-year-old backup to Roberto Luongo.
Schneider has had a great deal of success in AHL at Manitoba and limited games in the NHL. In seven NHL games this year, Schneider has a 2.58 goals against average and .917 save percentage. The team might have to move player like Ryan Malone to get a player Schneider; where Osgood might be able to be had for a combination of picks and a prospect.
There are a number of reports indicating Yzerman has spoken about Evgeni Nabokov, who left his KHL team in Russia. Nabokov's agent made calls to a number of teams and the Bolts happen to be one of them. Nabokov price is going to be too high and he is not a guy who would fit long term with this hockey club.
While Yzerman does not want to make any knee jerk reactions to the play in net currently it has to be something that is weighing on his mind. The Lightning has a legitimate shot at making a deep run in the Stanley Cup Playoffs if they are able to clean up the play in net.
After the game against the Colorado Avalanche on December 4, Boucher talked about how his defense unit has been playing this season. http://video.lightning.nhl.com/videocenter/console?catid=791&id=86088

Charlie White and Meryl Davis made history on Monday as the first American Ice Dancing duo to ever win Olympic gold.
The pair has trained together since they were children. Their win could inspire another generation of skaters.
Even in Southwest Florida, children are turning from their television to their parents, asking if they can learn to skate like the Olympians. And they don't need to leave the warmth to do it.
"There's been a lot of phone calls. A lot more people coming saying, you know, my child wants to learn how to skate," said Amanda Glanville who works in the recreation department at Germain Arena.
Germain Arena has lessons for everyone from beginners to those who could be heading to the Olympics one day.
"A lot of people actually don't know that there is different ice skating rinks in Florida as weird as that sounds," said Glanville.
Those people are usually even more surprise to hear how popular it is.
At any given time more than 500 students are enrolled in skating lessons at Germain Arena. An elite group of around 25 skaters train there daily.
Proving no matter what the weather is like outside, where there's a rink, there's a way.
