Stealth Marketing
Stealth Marketing, also known as undercover marketing, is an aspect of marketing in which an audience is not aware that they are being marketed to. It is marketing incognito. To use a parallel, if the marketing industry were for example, the military, the stealth marketers would be the covert ops, secret agents, spies, and ninjas. Stealth marketing tactics are meant to market to one’s subconscious. The objective would be to make someone feel that they need or want something, without actually going out and saying buy this, our product is great, or check this out. Stealth marketing uses intricacies and subtleties to lightly hammer a message into your mind. Optimum7 has developed result-driven techniques by effectively applying stealth marketing in our internet marketing services methodology.

The Definition of Viral Marketing
Viral Marketing is somewhat of a new strategy, being coined within the last 12 years. The interesting thing about viral marketing is that it uses people as a medium to pass on a certain message. The strategies come into play when people are being engaged through the message. A good example of for viral marketing is the forward messages you get in the form of text messages and email. One day someone thought of the idea to attach a meaning to the context, forward it to all of his or her contacts, and request that they forward it as well. Eventually this message reached thousands of people.

Internet Marketing Is Marketing!
Recently I was watching a video with an interview of Matt Cutts in which he makes some interesting remarks on the direction of Google and Internet Marketing, which I happen to agree with. It was almost eerie as it sounded like a playback of recent conversations I have had with others.
First and foremost search engines have clients they NEED to satisfy. They need to be able to answer their client’s demands almost immediately. Anything less would put them behind the competition. That’s why search engines want to deliver websites that have answers to the questions they are asking. They are geared towards answering those questions.

Traditionally, public relations have always been a tool used by brands and big companies to enhance their image, increasing consumer awareness and sales.
