Pandora Jewellery Line Launches Online Mag

Leave a comment

Jun 22 2011 /RTPR/ – The Copenhagen-based jeweller behind the Pandora bracelets range is set to venture into online publishing to help it to stay in contact with its millions of customers worldwide.

The first issue of the online magazine will launch on 20th June 2011 and will be sent to the 1.6 million members of their website-based Pandora Club.

The magazine will feature behind the scenes insights into the brand, fashion shoots, style tips and the stories behind customer’s purchases of Pandora jewellery and bracelets. Published six times per year, the magazine will initially launch in an international format which the company eventually hopes to be able to adapt with local content such as special events and promotions.

The launch of the magazine marks an important step in the evolution of the company. Since the UK launch in 2006 the company’s product range, which now includes rings and watches, has been selling at a phenomenal rate. The company has managed supply and demand successfully, due in large part to its integrated designs, manufactures and distribution.

Founded in 1982, Pandora jewellery is today sold in more than 55 countries on six continents through over 10,000 points of sale, including more than 450 Pandora branded concept stores as well as online from stores such as thejewelhut.co.uk.

Whilst the financial projections were made successfully, what could not have been seen is the way in which consumers have taken the brand to their hearts. Pandora braceletshave become very different from a standard jewellery product; it has taken on a life of its own and has become a part an important constituent of the lives of its wearers. This symbiotic relationship has created many repeat customers who have made their charm bead collection an integral part of their lives.

Mikkel Berg, executive marketing director, quoted in a recent Marketing Week article, said: “This magazine rewards our customers’ loyalty and gives new opportunities for them to share their thoughts with each other and the company.”

PPC Marketing Tips for Successful Internet Marketing Campaigns

Leave a comment

Content sites such company websites, blogs, and subject matter sites commonly get paid if someone clicks on an ad found on their site and then goes to the advertiser’s website and makes a purchase. Pay per click is your out-of-pocket cost you pay a search engine company each time your ad is clicked on by a browser.

Search engines like Google usually bid on certain keywords, sometimes phrases, which are in high demand in searches by specific targeted audiences. Google AdWords appear prominently next to search results for potential buyers to click on during their search. Search engines bid by charging on a cost per click (CPC) system. Advertisers are charged a set amount every time their ad is clicked.

Wise internet businesses are concerned with ways to reduce cost per click (CPC) costs. You need to find SEO experts in Google AdWords creation. One goal is to drive demand to your site by insuring your business is displayed first, or in the top three listings of any search for you goods or services.

Competition for keywords and phrases is intense. Traffic to your website is a major source in determining what your CPC will be. Other factors such as links you have on your site and back links are important as well. To get into the game of being first and reducing the price you have to pay on search engines, you need to utilize experts with in-depth knowledge of exactly what works to make sure you are getting the best bang for your bucks.

What you want to avoid in PPC marketing is click after click after click to your website with no resulting sales. Traffic that does not pay once it arrives to your site is money out of your pocket. There are countless stories from the first internet business collapses that tell you what has worked and what has not worked in advertising efforts. There are materials for purchase if what you need is not found in your personal research.

If optimization of your PPC marketing efforts is your goal, you must find the means to integrate a strong SEO (search engine optimizing) plan with your PPC efforts. Combining SEO and PPC reduces the amount you have to pay per click, reduces your cost per click (CPC), and saves you money as you get better and more relevant traffic clicking on your ads.
