Are We Doing Enough For America?

Can you spare 10 seconds of your life to do great things?

The simple question is "Are We Doing Enough?" The answer is NO!....Story time, and lets not get me wrong, I love this country like no other, but I have had the privilege to live in England for 7 years and saw something WE DO NOT HAVE....pride in our community.

In England, if a local ministry is in trouble, and they've been a staple of our community, cleaned the streets from drug users and gave those people second chances, the community would do all they could to help out and keep them from going under.  If that ministry, open for 18 years, doing incredible things was effected by something like "Obama Care", where the drug user can't pay for help, then the press would be outside the ministry, reporting why they aren't getting help and how you can get help.

I'm not talking just your local newspaper either, Radio would be there, TV would be there, and the objective would be to find the solution.  The community would raise funds.  We're not talking about someone paying 50 pounds, but they would donate a pound, or whatever they could afford.  Don't forget this is a country that is highly taxed and pay close to $20 per US gallon of gas.  They would all chip in and save that ministry from going under.

So here's our problem from America.  

Here we have a ministry in Pennsylvania, called New Beginning Ministry, and they've been helping drug users clean up their lives for 18 years.  Think about that for just a second.  You walk in your communities, you see the same buildings and you know what they do.  This Ministry cleans the streets and gives people second chances.  However, because of regulations in Obama care, the ones that need the help aren't capable of being covered by Medical anymore.  This means its dying a slow death, and for what, for helping people.  To many of us say the words, it's not our problem.  We ignore it.  Until its our brother, our uncle, our nephew that needs the help.

Its Tragic

So here's our task.  We can't change Obama Care, but we can tackle one problem and make a difference.  Not by donating hundreds, thousands, or millions but by sharing this post with everyone you know and sending just one dollar in to #savenewbeginningministry It takes 10 seconds to share on your social media so join us in this cause .....#TheCause #SaveNewBeginningMinistry  Hey if you know any sports athletes, any successful businessmen, any movie stars, any rock stars (are you out there Jay Z), ask them to help.  Send $1 if you can to www.newbeginningmin.org.

Here's your chance Millennials......make a statement.....show you can care and do it. Because its you, or your uncle, or your brother that will need something like this one day....a second chance. 

I mean really....lets make a difference....lets show the power of good with social media

Branding 123

In today's world just how important is branding?

Well ask any successful company these days and you'll see it all starts with a creative logo and loads of research.  Researching the market is an absolute must and no matter the length of time taken to find the results, if accurate, there is no chance of missing.

Some companies pay thousands and thousands to identify the correct branding and in some cases it pays off but most companies don't have thousands to invest in the research needed.

Here at Atero Marketing Group we start with a simple questionnaire to pin down the accuracy needed to move forward and get the same desired results.  This questionnaire has been used many times by large companies and shared among all marketing agencies that are looking for that accuracy needed to be successful.

Take some time to see if you can answer these questions.

1) Do you know your demographic? Age?

2) What market are you trying to reach?

3) Who are your five main competitors?

4) What marketing services are they using and how effective is it?

5) Do you have an allocated budget to compete?

6) How does your product differentiate from your competition? Selling points?

7) Does your logo tell your story?


Usually with those seven questions, it gives enough feedback to complete a full research document that can be adjusted in time.  As you get successful, you'll need to expand your reach into more markets.  Surviving on one market can be a risky game and if you don't have resources to back up your waiting, then it can equal a quick death and no one wants that.

Don't forget, all marketing takes time to develop.  Knowing this before you go forward is a must.
