One of the greatest things that has happened to marketing through the web, is the increased ability to track your brand name (or yourself). We’ve all heard about Googling ourselves or companies to see “what’s out there” but brand management extends far beyond Googling in today’s web market, full of user generated content and real time discussions.
Using tools such as RSS readers, bookmarking sites, web analytics and email alerts, marketers now have a great opportunity to monitor what is being said about their brand and react as it happens. This not only gives you the ability to correct any errors before they get too far, but also allows you to take an active role in promoting your products or services through conversations with those that are already discussing your brand. When you expand upon the initial notion of interacting with those that are talking about youm to interact with those that are talking about your competition, you have an even greater opportunity to connect and promote your services than ever before.
