Monitoring online buzz is like reverse market research. Instead of asking people what they think in a survey or focus group, you read what they’re saying online in blogs, article comments, posts made to forums and places like Twitter and Facebook. It’s eavesdropping on public conversations.
In the old days there were clipping services. Now there are amazing tools that gather and capture the relevant information you want about your company, your brands, your competitors and even individual people. At any given moment there are millions of conversations happening online. They may be brief, but they’re happening nevertheless. Tuning in to this ongoing dialog and focusing on conversations specifically about your business or brand can offer a wealth of insight into your customers’ mindsets.
Why monitoring social media is important
1. Lead generation. More marketers are recognizing that effective lead generation isn’t about firing out the most messages. It’s about getting the right message to the right prospect at the right time, which may be after that person has already engaged in some type of social media encounter with your brand and your customers.
2. Reputation management. Keeping your finger on the pulse of what customers are saying, especially as it relates to issues, frustrations, and complaints, allows you to quickly and authentically resolve their concerns.
3. Identifying brand fans and vocal customer advocates who spread positive word-of-mouth so you can nurture these free “sales reps.”
How to monitor social media marketing
There are a number of companies that offer tools and services to make it easy to monitor what people online are saying about your brand and your competitors. Some of these tools are free, others you pay a nominal fee for. A complete list of social media monitoring tools may be found by performing a search on the keywords “social media monitoring tools.” Tweetdeck and Hubspot are two of the more popular tools available.
These social media monitoring tools are very helpful because they will save you a great deal of time and your email inbox won’t be clogged with all sorts of tweets, updates, and alerts. Instead, you’ll have a dashboard to monitor what people are saying about what matters to you most. That may be your company, your own name, your executives, your competitors, your industry or specific brand names for products or services.
Cautions about Social Media Monitoring
Social media marketing shouldn’t replace market research. Why? Because in general the people who take the time to express an opinion about a business or brand via social media are generally on one extreme or the other: they either love something enough to talk about it, or dislike it enough to complain. It’s helpful to monitor brand popularity (or lack thereof), but social media monitoring tools/services are not very helpful for understanding customer satisfaction, new product acceptance, and test marketing. They should complement, not replace more traditional market research.
Looking for bankruptcy? Don’t go for it! Instead, keep bankruptcy as your last option and try out the other options which are available in the market. There are a few debt relief options to consider. The best 3 are mentioned below with brief explanations for each one of them.
Do it yourself – debt management:
This method involves arrangement of the credit cards or other personal unsecured loans in an order. The order will be a descending one with loans having high interest rates getting top priority and then followed by the ones with lower interest rates. In this method, you will have to create a new budget in which, you will have to eliminate some of the unnecessary expenses and then save some extra money. Pool this money with the amount out of your paycheck that you keep aside for loan repayment and start repayments with the one, which has the highest interest rates. This helps in containing the debt due to faster accrual of interests.
Professional or self arbitration – debt settlement:
In the method of settlement, you will have to negotiate with the creditor on your own or you will need to use professional help for doing the same. In either case, the process converges to push the creditor to eliminate the debt by a certain percentage. The amount not forgiven is to be paid in lump sum to the creditor. To force the creditor to eliminate at least 50% of the dues, the use of the bankruptcy threat is essential. Once the remainder is paid, the consumer will get a clean cheat and the debt will be considered as paid in full.
Reducing monthly installments – debt consolidation:
In this method, negotiation with the creditor is carried out by a professional negotiator who negotiates for the reduction in the interest rates and elimination of associated costs like insurance charges, over limit fees, late fees and other. The threat of bankruptcy is used to force the creditors to agree to the above conditions. When the creditors agree, they re-amortize the loans and then the monthly installment burden for the consumer is reduced significantly.
The above mentioned three methods ensure that the credit score of the consumers remain unharmed and that the consumers get back their financial stability and get out of their debts asap. This is not possible in case of bankruptcy filing because, once the consumers go for bankruptcy, the FICO score will be lost completely. This brings in more financial troubles for the consumers. Hence, personal bankruptcy should be avoided.
What are the various negative items that you may find in your credit report? How can credit repair agencies help you remove the same? At the very outset, let me clarify that the removal of negative items can be done without the official consent of the lenders and the credit bureau. There are three parties to any credit transaction, the lender, the borrower and the bureau that records the information. Unilateral changes are out of the question.Remove
The various types of negative information that you may find in a credit report include Bankruptcy. Settlements. Charge-offs. Delayed repayments. Bouncing of check Non-repayment of debts.
Each and every point mentioned above will have a negative impact because it shows your financial planning and management in poor light. How can you get rid of this information? There are only two ways to get rid of negative information in your report. One is to wait for time to expire and the information to become obsolete. In case of bankruptcy, the law requires it to be mentioned for 8-10 years.
Settlement is not covered by any law but lenders invariably insist on the presence of this information for more than five years. Charge-offs and delayed repayment shall continue until you settle the debt and repay it in full.
If you opt for this approach, you will have to wait for a very long time before you enjoy any relief and improvement in your credit score. In any case, you do not need a credit repair agency to get this information.
The other option is to file a dispute and raise queries on the negative information included. Apart from bankruptcy, you can demand verification of each and every bit of information included in your credit report. The written complaint to the credit bureau will result in an inquiry and the conclusion will either be removal or verification of the same.
The loophole here is that any information that is not verified within 30 days will automatically be removed. This is a very useful advantage that people can use. If your lender is too busy to respond to these queries or if the lender does not have sufficient records, the transaction will automatically be removed.
The legality of the transaction is not under question. It is just a question whether the verification can be done promptly or not. If yes, it shall be retained. If no, it shall be removed. It is advisable to utilize this option even as you try other solutions to overcome your problem.
Many people are unaware that the credit report can be used as a tool to erase bad credit. This can result in a boost to your score by a possible 200 points. Many negative items found on credit reports are disputable and can be removed legally to erase bad credit.
The number of business financing alternatives that are available to small and medium sized companies has dropped dramatically as a result of the financial crisis. Until recently, most owners could get a business loan by posting their house as collateral. Now that real estate prices have dropped substantially, banks find themselves saddled with worthless collateral and are being extremely careful with their loan portfolios. Only companies that can show profitable operations for a number of years, strong financial statements, demonstrated management leadership have a reasonable chance at getting business loans. Everyone else will need to find an alternative.
One alternative is a type of self liquidating transaction called invoice factoring. A self liquidating transaction is one that carries it’s mechanism for its own repayment. This feature makes them a very attractive source of financing to some companies.
Factoring is commonly used by companies that give 30 to 60 days invoice terms to their clients. Although large clients demand these payment terms, many small to medium sized companies can’t afford them. They need to get paid sooner so that they can meet their operating expenses. This is where invoice factoring comes in.
In a conventional factoring transaction, the client makes the sale, sends the invoice to the client and the finances it using a factoring company. The factoring company funds the invoice in two payments. The first payment covers about 80% of the invoice and is given soon after invoicing. The second payment of 20 % (less fees) is sent once the invoice is paid in full. The second payment closes – or liquidates – the transaction.
One immediate advantage of invoice factoring is that it allows clients the ability to offer payment terms to their clients with confidence – knowing that they can get money sooner if their business requires it. Additionally, factoring transactions are based on the credit strength of the invoice backing them. This allows small companies, who sell to large credit worthy businesses, to leverage their roster of clients to get financing.
Factoring is ideal for small and midsized companies whose biggest problem is that they can’t afford to wait 30 to 60 days to get paid.
