📍101 Proven Marketing Strategies to Grow Your Biz
In this video, I dive into the essential marketing strategies I use to keep business thriving during slower periods, like January and February. I discuss the critical role of tracking leading and lagging indicators to measure marketing performance effectively: ✅ Leading indicators: Metrics like website traffic, conversion rates, and social engagement, which help predict future outcomes. ✅ Lagging indicators: Results like customer acquisition costs and revenue growth, which provide a retrospective look at success. If your business is under $3-4 million in revenue, I emphasize focusing on direct response marketing over brand marketing. I also highlight several cost-effective, actionable tactics to consistently drive l Leads, including: - Optimizing Google My Business for local search visibility. - Engaging with your audience via social media and community groups (especially on Facebook). - Creating YouTube content to establish local authority. - Leveraging SEO to improve search rankings and repurposing content to maximize reach. By strategically stacking marketing efforts, you can lower customer acquisition costs and maintain long-term business growth, even during quieter months. 💡 Key takeaways: 1. Understand and use both leading and lagging indicators to drive decisions. 2. Focus on direct response strategies that yield measurable results. 3. Leverage low-cost marketing channels to increase visibility. 4.
