‘All Marketers Are Liars’ said Seth Godin in his bestseller of the same title, but then if you continue reading, he clarifies that great marketers are ones who tell a great story and not necessarily liars.
Marketing is storytelling. He argues, the story of your product, built into your product. The ad might be part of it, the copy might be part of it, but mostly, your product and your service and your people are all part of the story; he concludes by saying ‘Tell it on purpose’
Not always can one say a great story in 140 characters or do justice by couple of visual updates on G+ & Facebook. Thankfully we have a solution for this, Blogs.
What great boon could have the world of marketing and businesses received than the greatest storytelling means called ‘blogs’?
Whether you want to use blogs FOR promoting your business or take up blogging AS your business, either ways it is integral piece in your content marketing strategy.
This weekend, GBG Mumbai brings you an exclusive event that focuses on ‘The Business of Blogging”. Eminent bloggers and experts are going to engage you and share great success stories along with a quick workshop to set-up your own blog and techniques to monetize it.

Imagine, on an average day, how many things do one track, measure and quantify? Be it your fuel gauge in car, pedometer in your exercise routine, or a humble timer in the microwave oven; all of these are ‘tools’ that merely lets you measure ‘what’s going on’ and enables you to take actions as needed – fill adequate fuel, walk at a faster pace to burn required calories, or inspect if the food is cooked or not.
The ever changing internet has altered the business scenario for all of us, consider a small and a giant e-commerce store selling similar products, it is imperative for both of them to get a first hand sense of ‘who’ is visiting their stores, ‘what’ are they looking at? At ‘which’ point are they leaving the store? ‘How’ much time spent is good enough?
Now consider the same set of questions for a brick and mortar store, all questions are the same, but answers differ! In a physical store, you can ‘see’, ‘hear’ and ‘observe’’ your customers for gaining insights and taking necessary actions accordingly, but how do you measure what happens in the world of web, when your customer visits your web-store from anywhere, anytime and from any means?
Google Business Group (GBG), Mumbai, brings you a unique opportunity to learn and interact with experts who are conducting a detailed workshop for entrepreneurs on how & what to measure in the web. We are very excited to launch our first ‘Knowledge Series’ event on August 31st at Mumbai at Harikisan Metha Foundation Institute of Journalism & Mass Communication, who are our strategic partners.
The Knowledge Series event’s focus is largely on the business side without getting too much technical, our objective is to connect, inform and inspire likeminded SMEs & entrepreneurs who want a firsthand knowledge of Google Webmasters and Analytics tools
The event comprises of 3 parts -an introduction, detailed workshop and relevant case studies followed by networking session with high tea.
