Blog Views - It's A Long Game, Give It Time

I've talked about this before.  Our agency blogs.  Every week.  Regardless of excuses.  Even over holidays, blogs have been written, scheduled and posted. And the reason why we do it is because it helps us engage with potential clients.

And after it helps us get their attention, the blog provides a reason to stay in contact each Monday through a friendly newsletter, without it being a too-in-your-face sales follow up. And after they become clients? It still serves as a weekly check-in, acting as a gentle reminder of potential other services that might be of interest. And that's because the content we write is specifically written to provide value and education to those reading it.  Right? See, it works for those of you in our newsletter!  In this blog, Hollywood Branded discusses how blogging helps brands get sales and customers - we know, because it works for us.

Not All Their Business Takes Place in Hollywood

When you think of how celebrities get successful, the first thing that comes to mind is their work in entertainment. Either from their acting, singing, hosting, or anything onscreen, their public face is how they got famous and where we see them most of the time. However, to really make the big bucks, a lot of celebs invest their hard earned dollars in other ventures. 

From Food to Technology, celebrities have put their name and fortune behind all different kinds of businesses. Some have gone on to massive success, while others have faltered. But one thing is certain- celebs are not just doing business in Hollywood. In this blog, Hollywood Branded looks at some of the different successes (and failures) of celebrities investments in businesses, for brands interested in exploring this alternative endorsement option.

They Make How Much For Doing That?

Ever since YouTube hit the internet scene in 2005 it’s been doing remarkable, unimaginable things for pop culture and social media alike. Many would even say that it helped play the biggest part in giving rise to the social media influencers we know very well today. But what you probably didn’t know is that some of the most viewed personalities on YouTube live some of the most lucrative lives in the digital media landscape.

Young adults in their early to late 20’s and even young adolescents in their teens and tweens have all jumped at the opportunity to get their piece of the YouTube pie. And if you were wondering what kind of money these individuals are making it’s not just in the thousands or hundreds of thousands -- but in the MILLIONS! With that kind of earning potential it’s a mystery to me why I don’t pick up the closest camera next to me and start vlogging myself! In this blog, Hollywood Branded talks about the current top 10 highest paid YouTube stars, and shares more information on how brands can get involved with social influencers.

Case Study On How A Brand Rocket Fueled To Sales Success

We are often asked if having a brand appear in a segment on a talk show or as product placement in a TV show leads to actual sales.  And our answer? We think so - but too many times clients don't have analytics in place to measure results.  But when they do, it can make a MASSIVE impact.

Talk shows air five days a week, and some show a lot of brands within their content.  Some placements are good, and others are absolutely great.  And there is a little bit of magic sauce that can take it to the next level and actually impact brand sales along with the brand awareness talk shows offer.  In this blog, Hollywood Branded shares a case study (not one of our own!) on how one brand found a way to increase sales with talk show product placement, and what the magic to this rocket fuel was.

Mastering How It Works To Promote Your Brand

It used to be that every brand had to have a Facebook page, which is still a good idea. But what's all the rage now? What's the absolute must for a brand that wants to leverage social influencers? That would be Instagram.

But there are a lot of things a brand can do that will absolutely guarantee less chance of success with either of these two social platforms, and it really all boils down to algorithms and how the platforms view your brand.  In this blog, Hollywood Branded  shares how Instagram may be Facebook's greatest gift for millennial targeted marketing, and what brands need know to succeed.
