Government Social Media Strategies

Archive for the ‘political marketing stratagies’ Category

There are little things as scary as a brush with death. I had a close call as a young child, one that landed me a ride in an ambulance and a visit to the emergency room. Blunt trauma and impact seizures, usually are not very forgiving. Only by having my eyes opened by knowledge of the world of psychology did I realize how truly lucky I am to have survived with no brain injury. From a very young age I learned of the endless doors that are opened by the study of psychology whether intentional or not. By the time I reached middle school I knew my future held a profession in psychology.
As I developed from a student and evolved into a college graduate my path twisted and mingled with a variety of social sciences but always returned to psychology. While studying at *** I earned a Bachelor’s degree in political science and a minor in psychology. For me, the field of politics is one of the greatest forms of psychology. Niccolò Machiavelli’s famous work, The Prince helped me realize how linked every aspect of society is to psychology. Subconsciously I began evaluating everything, finding psychology embedded everywhere I looked. While living with a business major I even got into evaluating commercials and marketing strategies which led to spending a couple years working for a marketing company and developing and directing a marketing organization for another. However, simply understanding target audiences and analyzing strategies was not enough for me.
My mind often questions and evaluates the “whys” and “hows” of life around me. Originally, I believed social psychology was my calling, interaction and reaction to social norms inspired my thinking and I longed to learn more. After learning about the suicide of a hometown friend and the accidental fatal drug overdose of several friends throughout high school my focus was pulled into realm of social issues. Because of this, I have looked to gain hands on experience as an undergraduate research assistant for multiple labs at ***. In *** Social Diversity Lab I have learned about discrimination and the pains and triumphs it must overcome. This experience along with several key psychology classes has helped me explore the different styles of psychology with a more focused lens. The concentration in my psychopharmacology class helped motivate me to look deeper into the division of neuroscience. I started working in *** Temporal Dynamics of Attention and Memory Lab, to get a better understanding of neuroscience and hands on practice with EEG machines and analysis. I aim to utilize the combination social psychology and neuroscience in a career that will help others overcome or cope with social pressures. My involvement as a volunteer at the reception desk at *** Medical Center ICCU I have learned how to adapt to the quickly changing environment that comes with working in a medical field. It had also helped me advance my ability to take charge and act professionally in critical situations.
To me, life in psychology is about helping people, whether with research, teaching, counseling, or just being a good role model. Because of this, I have worked to become a certified substitute teacher for the State of Iowa. By working through classes and research labs along with personal experiences I have resolved many questions that I have asked. However it seems each time I find an answer a new string of questions comes flooding in. I am sure that graduate school will open doors to a place where I can search and find answers that lead to questions that can help advance the future of psychology even if only for one person.

When I saw the length of your "question" I was a bit put off. But as soon as I started reading I just got sucked right in. You sound like a very curious and caring person. The world would be a much better place with more people like you!

today, the same PM is blamed to be responsible of Raja case. It is all political issue. But being a citizen we have the right to know what is going on.

That’s one rare good question. last 10 months , no movements so dunno whether he should be blamed or praised.
INC took up the CAUSE post-2004 towing the "feel good feeling" line of late BJPian Mahajan.When stocks failed ….corporates declare low profits…so low growth…. they lower interest rates…. players again had easy gamble …stocks up, profits up, growth up.

what an economy!

STANAG. Oh how I love STANAG. STANAG in the morning, STANAG at night. Heck, I’d marry STANAG, but here in California we’re still working on marriage between a man and another man. I doubt I’d get far with a man and a magazine.

In all seriousness though (and I’ll stop now before I set off any political landmines), standardized magazines are a great idea. It’s a fiendish (although smart) marketing strategy to sell you a rifle and then turn around and push $40 or $50 magazines on you. Some companies like Kel-Tec are a bit nicer, but on the whole STANAG is limited to AR-15s.

I’ve been in the market for a nice .223 bolt action rifle, and I was wondering if any company makes ones that are STANAG compatible. I know of the Armalon effort, but it’s not a complete solution. I’d definitely be willing to pay an extra $100 to $150 for such a rifle, because I figure that’s how much I’d save from reusing my current 10-round STANAG magazines.

Heck, we managed to find a double barreled pump shotgun here. Please find my magical STANAG bolt gun?

I have not seen a bolt action rifle that takes AR-15 magazines, however the Remington 7615 is a pump action .223 rifle that takes AR magazines.

Create a product or service (do not choose an existing brand) OR select a product or service from the following list: cell phone, video game, motorcycle, perfume, hair salon, toothpaste, website design consulting business, online dating service, auto body shop.
1. Using the course resources, develop an environmental analysis, marketing strategy, and marketing mix for this product.
2. Consider if your selected product is affected by environmental factors (Political, Economic, Socio-cultural, Technological, Competitive). If so, how?
3. Include a description of the target market and positioning (how customers perceive your product or service).
Include a detailed overview of each element of the marketing mix (product, price, distribution, and marketing communications).

I dont even know what environmental analysis, marketing strategy, and marketing mix mean.
Please help. Thank you
I do school online and I dont have any textbooks.

"LOL"… well, if this is a course assignment I would suspect you could find the definitions in your textbook however, knowing what my marketing course was like it was easier to type in the phrase into the search engine (Yahoo or Google or both) and see what comes up.

My interpretation is that after you have selected your product or service they are asking you take a look at the area where you will market it (analyze the environment ~what would influence buying decision ~ would you do a survey to see if it would be factors like these: male/female, age of customer, rural area or town/city..ocean side or desert … well populated or sparsely populated… rich or poor or doing ok… people’s cultures or what else?) and decide the best strategy to market it (take a look at who the customer would be, what is the acceptable but creative way to market to them to get best results) and the mediums (marketing mix) you will use to market it … print material (magazines, newspapers), tv or radio ads, billboards, sandwich board walkers, online, handouts, novelty ideas (mouse pads, milk cartons ads) and many more!

# 2 & #3 will likely be answered along the way but keep them in mind as you work on #1.

as represented through current political strategy and issues?

they solve it with tax cuts.

I have no idea how Bernanke raising interest rates affects the economy. I do not understand what the basic fundamentals of why raising interest rates is "bad" and lowering them is "good" for the stock market, and how it effects other sectors of the economy. When answering this question, assume I have a legal education and an mechanical engineering degree. Assume I know nearly every single secret our government keeps from us, including the players that profit, and can verify the truth as to any political rumor. Also assume I can determine the "majority’s" strategy before it is made public, or known by even the very most informed, and what people are behind the political "reform" and who will profit. Please provide examples for each regulated sector of the economy i.e. education, health care, insurance, energy, etc.

sounds like homework to me that you are pawning off. Either way to much to type if you really need to know this i actually have the same work i did on this question. I could fax it to you. If you were bored and just typed all this sorry cant help you.

It is a mistake to assume that strategy in one area has differing fundamentals from strategy in another. The same principles underlay Hunting and Political Strategy. Martial and Military strategy. Marketing and Manipulation Strategy. They differ only in the techniques used to bring about the desired goal.

Among these principles you will find the concept of misdirection. An enemy will rarely believe a feigned attack or approach unless it truly looks dangerous and appears as if it is meant to be hidden. Even the most worthless thing can be given value if it is hidden. Even the most mundane of facts can make us feel good by value of their being secret. You can try an experiment yourself to test this with a simple cardboard box. Open the box and flip it over, so that the flaps are not underneath the open box. To anyone passing by, the box gives them a mystery. Just what IS under this box-if anything? Many will lift the box to see what is inside it. It may be the sole object lying on a bare floor, but the potential it has to hide something from our view is often too much (think of the button that says, "do not press this button"). So too in our political climate today. By giving hints (but never hard evidence) of this or that plot, could one easily mislead millions-even billions-into chasing dead ends while the true methods are out in broad day light and are known globally by anyone who understands fields like Sociology?

I do not believe there will ever truly be some "great awakening" because people want to remain asleep with ideas like culture, tradition and acceptance from society. It isn’t a mystery why people live as they do-it’s been known since almost the very begging, actually. We want security, we want comfort and we want to belong. The reason we look for causes not immediately evident is because the truth is that we enslave ourselves. We don’t want to accept that, however.

So-isn’t it entirely possible that those in power could merely be placing numerous metaphorical cardboard boxes upside down to mislead those who oppose them? We already have popular culture that distracts those who don’t want to look for the truth, so why not provide shadowy "plots" that lead to dead ends and false conclusions to distract those that do want to look for the truth?

You may find this hard to believe, but not everyone expresses themselves in thoughtless, pointless slogans.
big_scary_white_guy-You seem like a very angry person. If you have anger issues than you should not be online.

This is all very interesting but that "conspiracy" that I believe is not being covered at all. I would argue that the US government is an avid reader of Hitler and Goebbels. Hitler said something to the effect of, it’s not the quality of the lie but the size. So Bush says "They hate us for our freedoms" and viola, it becomes the accepted truth by about 60% to 80% of the population at varying degrees. As per the rest of the lying, where you need to do a little more work to convince people, you have "Saving people from Saddam" and "Bringing Democracy". These work well because they’re feel good reasons that make Joe American feel magnanimous. People like to feel like they’re helping without actually helping, that’s the reason charities exist.

The reason most people can’t see the truth to things is because they don’t want to see it. The truth of what America is / has been doing in the middle-east and South America and SE Asia etc, is shocking and unacceptable to the average American. The severity of the things they’ve done is such that the government does not need to tell lies about it because almost any American exposed to the truth would instantly go straight to denial / straight to the narrative that was created by the government in conjunction with the public. It goes like this: "America may have done some bad things, bit it’s the greatest country on Earth and without it, the universe would implode and flying monkeys from hell would rape the world for eternity", or something along those lines. For the most part, governments in the west do not need to cover up the truth because the people wouldn’t hear it or care anyway. I remember a few months ago a story broke about the US injecting Syphilis into Guatemalans to see what would happen and the chatter on the net was mostly joking about it.

Tell a big lie that makes people fell good about themselves and people will follow you to their deaths. That’s macro propaganda 101 and it’s pertinent to conspiracy. Certainly people do look for conspiracy to satisfy their natural curiosity as well, but on a more localized scale. More focused on small lies. Obama’s a Kenyan, fluoride makes you tame, Chinese organ thieves work for the Mossad. Etc…

Okay so its a Research paper. The focus of the paper is a product or product category of a major public company like Lipton Ice tea or ford mustang.
So i have I just need help understanding what these terms mean exactly so i know what to write: Product market, census, economic forecasts, Economic Forces
Political and legal Forces
Market share
Competitive forces
Technological forces
Social Forces
Marketing Objective
Marketing strategies like Marketing Mix and Target markets. and Implementation
and i could also use a few examples.. THANKS SO MUCH!!

Those terms are more or less analysis of the company or the industry. The analysis of the company is known as the internal analysis, its strength and its weakness. The analysis of the industry is known as the external analysis, its competitors and basically the business environment in the industry. It’s rather a logical thinking process when you think about it. You need to take care of yourself, then you take a look at the world around you and see where you stand. Lastly, you’d be often asked to write a marketing plan, which includes the objective and the marketing mixes, and of course finally the actual implementation of the business plan.

Example: Lipton Ice tea

Product market – soft drinks market

census/demographics – how populated is the target city/country you’re going to do business in

economics – how willing and financially capable are the consumers about their spending in soft drinks, and also how the country’s economy is doing, which affects unemployment rate and consumers’ spending powers

political and legal – how these two aspect might potentially benefit or harm your business in respect the target city/country

market shares – how much market shares does Lipton holds, and how much do its competitors hold
competitors – who are Lipton’s competitors, what are their strengths and weaknesses, is there anything good that you can copy? and is there anything bad that you can avoid?

technological – just like political, legal, how might this particular aspect affect your business
marketing objective – what’s your objective of the marketing plan? short-term and long-term. creating sales? branding management?

marketing strategies – often known as the 4′s and the target market strategy. those 4′s are product, place(distribution), price, and promotion. there are things you can do to achieve your marketing objective through each of these 4 channels. you can redesign the product package, distribute the items through supermarkets rather than grocery stores, lower the price, or promote/advertise on TV. there are tons of things you can, be creative. the target market strategy is how you are going to tackle your specific target market. you’re likely going to put some ads up on facebook rather than newspaper, if your target market is teenagers ranges from 15-20 years old, as opposed to the old generations.

implementation – how are you going to execute all of this mess? how much budget you’ll need? how much employees you need to hire? how many ads you need to put up? and how much is the profits forecast? you need to break-even and then start making some profits, or else there will be no business.

This kind of typical research paper usually should be about 10-20 pages, excluding references citation and appendix, which includes charts, graphs, pictures, etc. Please excuse me for any grammatical or spelling errors. This answer is rather long compared to the ones I usually write.
