The Positive Power of Social Media

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Social Media | , , , ,

It’s no secret that there is a lot of negativity in the world right now. Many individuals have taken to social media to post their feelings, reactions, emotions, and to seek support from others. On Tuesday, June 2nd, 2020, much of the world participated in a social media campaign given the name #BlackOutTuesday. Amongst those hundreds of millions were businesses, from huge corporations to small locally owned businesses.

It’s important as a company to keep your social media campaign positive. This does not mean turning your back on what you believe in but ensuring that your content will not be viewed in any negative light. Staying positive and looking towards a better future is especially important to your audience. Brands that are viewed in a negative light will not succeed in their social media campaign. When Chase Bank insinuated that some of their customers have low balances due to their bad spending habits, the backlash was quick and clear. With more than 43.8 billion people on social media that is a huge hit to your company if you lose your social media following and good presence.

Staying neutral doesn’t mean turning a blind eye or lacking compassion amidst current events. Posting positive content occasionally can be a relief from the negativity we see on our feed. The Women’s Center of Brevard does a great job of doing this on social media. Occasionally they will feature activities for the family, uplifting-quotes, appreciation posts for sponsors and staff, and encouraging content. The goal is to get the audience to stop scrolling as a result of your positivity.

It’s hard not to let personal viewpoints and emotions spill over into how you present your company brand, but it’s important to remember that not every customer or client thinks exactly as you do. With a lot of negative situations going on, here are some tips on staying positive on social media.

  1.     Post Positively

This may seem obvious but think about how your posted content will impact society and your audience. Share appreciation posts, testimonials, and uplifting quotes. What you are posting should be inspiring and encouraging. Your goal should be to unite your audience in a positive way. A member of the audience is a potential customer. If the audience perceives your feed negatively, they are less likely to purchase from you.

  1.     Keep Judgment and Intimidation Off Social Media

Your opinion can be misperceived and taken as judgment. The old saying “keep your opinions to yourself,” applies to your social media campaign. What you believe may not be what everyone else believes. Compete with rivals in your industry but do not intimidate them. It is okay to compete with others in your industry but do not be hateful, rude, or derogatory in your competitive nature. Challenge your competitors in a clean way that can never be taken as slander or cruelty. Samsung is a great company that exemplifies poking fun at the competition without being cruel. Their commercial mocking Apple’s fanbase that waits in lines for hours for a new product launch is a great example of giving a company their props while comparing their quality and innovation. The opinion of a business owner can be different from that of their customer base. Therefore, keeping opinions on the inside can prevent the loss of an existing customer or future customer.

  1.     Do Showcase, Do Not Show Off

Yes, businesses should be showcasing their new items or services and achievements. However, it is discouraged to show off. The two things might seem like they are one and the same, but they are not. Showing off is perceived as flashy and looking for kudos for doing something good. Your business might have made the most money it has in years but that is not something you should be posting on social media. While your business might be excelling in all aspects your neighboring businesses might also be struggling. However, if your business wins “Salon of the Year” that is something you should be showcasing. That is a great accomplishment that your community awarded you and is a result of their support and your efforts to go above and beyond. Back in 2013, the airline company, WestJet, released a viral video that encouraged its customers to perform random acts of kindness, which has now coined the term “mini-miracles.” WestJet has kept the tradition of showing their gratitude and appreciation for their customers’ kindness alive for years.

  1.     Honesty Is Everything

All too often we see companies who are later caught in a lie. Covering up a mistake or mishap will only come back to bite you in the long run. This can lead to loss of business. Acknowledging an incident, apologizing, and taking a corrective course of action will produce the best outcome.  An alcohol delivery company, Grizzly, has a GREAT example of this recently! They accidentally sent out an email with placeholder text and sent out an apology email with coupon code “LOREMIPSUM”. Be positive in your acknowledgment and plan of action by putting the incident into the spotlight as a learning experience. Businesses that take ownership and are transparent will continue to be successful.

  1.     Be Respectful

Again, this might seem as obvious as being positive, but it can often be overlooked. Respect your community, respect your neighbors, respect your customers, and respect your brand. When posting something put yourself in the place of a spectator in your audience. Could your post be taken the wrong way despite not being meant maliciously? Is the content culturally unaware? Will anyone view the content as insensitive? If the answer is yes to any of these questions, it isn’t something your business should be posting. Respecting your community extends to respecting your competitors, sometimes by supporting them. We often see this with small businesses in their local community, but large companies like T-Mobile and Sprint recently displayed their support for each other. As a segue to their merger, the two companies decided to provide their customers with more coverage during the pandemic by sharing their networks before the merger was official.

A positive social media campaign is one that inspires, makes your audience think, or gives them a warm fuzzy feeling. If you are a business and do not feel very strongly about something you should stay neutral in the matter. Do not follow the majority opinion to gain a following or increase engagement. Be genuine in your approach.

Content Marketing

Making Creative Content with Results

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Content Writing, Email Marketing, Graphic Design, Marketing, Social Media

Content marketing is a tried and true method of grabbing your audience’s attention. However, this has its downfalls because you have to compete against your peers. You want your content and blogging to stand out. This is why giving your content a creative spin is so important. There are a number of ways you can help your content give an extra twist.

Decide What You Want To Market

Before you get into the nitty-gritty of making your content, you first need to decide what exactly you want to market. Perhaps you have a new service you want to announce to your customers, or maybe you just want to amplify a service most of your customers did not know you offered. Whatever it is that you want to market, make sure that your marketing focuses on this product or service. You want to make sure that its usefulness and benefits are still the main focus.

Define Your Audience

You want to make sure that both the concept you are marketing and the marketing you plan to execute revolves around your target audience. Who do you believe will benefit the most from this product or service? 

For example, if you are a roofing company that wants to market your shingle repair services, you want to market yourself towards homeowners. If you want to go further, you may want to research online search trends to see further demographics who might be interested in your services, such as gender and age.

Types of Creative Content

Now that you have decided what to market and who to market to, here is the fun part: deciding how to creatively market your product or service. There are some different methods and mediums you and your business can utilize. Here are just a few:

We will be walking through the benefits of using these types of creative content for your marketing, as well as why you should choose The AD Leaf ® for whatever creative content production you decide upon. 

Videos For Content Marketing

Furthermore, videos can be easily accessible to your consumers, as they are easy to share onto multiple platforms. The AD Leaf ® can help you create the perfect marketing videos using the best equipment and software on the market.

Blogs For Content Marketing

adwords landing pages

Why Should You Use Landing Pages For Google Ads?

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Pay Per Click

A PPC landing page is a standalone web page that you plan to use in an AdWords, Bing Ads or related paid advertisement. It is a dedicated page for the user to ‘enter’ once they click on a Google Ad.

Particularly good PPC landing pages typically contain only one target or objective for a focused campaign known as a Call To Action (CTA). Their simplicity — and relevance — is what makes dedicated landing pages one of the best ways to boost your paid traffic conversions and lower the cost-per-click of your PPC campaigns.

The Benefits of Landing Pages For PPC

The game-changing value of landing pages and why they work so well with ads can boil down to the difference between organic versus paid traffic.

Your website is primarily a way to attract organic traffic. Google selects and serves links on your site that are thought to be the best match for a particular search query, and these links selected by Google are typically placed below paid ads. This organic traffic is largely why you need a search-optimized website.

In contrast, with paying ads on Google Ads or Bing Ads, you can choose where to direct visitors, as your paid ad will typically be placed towards the very top of the SERP.

For example, you can choose to link this paid traffic to the homepage of your website, but this isn’t actually your best conversion option. Generally, content on your homepage — or even other site pages — often does not match the premise of your ads, and will not always contain info or a tailored call-to-action.

As advertisers inevitably learn, paying traffic referring to common web pages does not lead to strong conversations, leading to an increase in cost-per-click. This is mainly because visitors often can’t find what they specifically searched for on the generic page and typically bounce faster (signaling to Google that the user experience was negative).

On the other hand, if visitors click on a highly relevant landing page from an ad, they will find information that reinforces the ad ‘s promise, and they will find a distinct call to action or be persuaded to take the next step. By simplifying the available options you are helping to ensure a smoother conversion path.

The Anatomy Of A Strong Landing Page

Once you have decided to lower your cost-per-click and get better ROI on your paid ad spending with PPC landing pages, it’s all about creating them.

The best PPC landing pages contain 5 key elements, based on what we typically see with our clients:

  • Strong images in context (including a ‘hero shot’ at the top of the page)
  • A headline and a subheader
  • A single, focused call to action that could either be a form or button
  • Features and benefits of your offer clearly outlined
  • Testimonials or social proof that supports your argument

AdWords Can Reward Relevant Landing Pages

Not only does a landing page allow you to present a focused, carefully selected call to action and customize your click-through experience to match the expectations set up by your ad, but if you match each PPC ad with its own hyper-relevant, standalone landing page, you could:

  • Get a higher AdWords Quality Score (in turn boost your Ad Rank and Search Impression Share, getting your ads served up more frequently)
  • Reduce cost-per-click
  • Lower cost-per-acquisition
  • Increase conversions on offers that you run with paid services

At The AD Leaf ®, we understand that not every business has the time to invest their full efforts into PPC Ads.

on-page and off-page seo

What Is The Difference Between On-Page and Off-Page SEO?

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Search Engine Optimization

SEO is one of the most important aspects of any business. While many organizations find it difficult to understand, when SEO is broken down it is quite simple. There are two main types of SEO: on-page and off-page. On-page SEO refers to the measures that you take on your own website in order to improve your ranking in search engines. Off-page SEO refers to the actions you take outside of your website in order to rank higher. 

On-Page SEO

When you think of the most basic tactics for search engine optimization, there are factors that play a role in helping the search engines understand what your website is about and index it accordingly such as:

  •  using keywords in your copy
  •  optimizing meta descriptions
  •  Utilizing HTML code
  • Internal linking
  •  Optimizing title tags and  alt tags
  • And more

The overall content quality, page performance, and content structure are also taken into consideration. 

Benefits of On-Page SEO

When it comes to the benefits of on-page SEO, there is a wide range such as:

  • Higher Ranking in the SERPs- When you optimize your website for the search engines, you will typically see a boost in your rankings. This means that you will be more likely to show up near the top of the search results pages when people are looking for information related to your niche.
  • Advanced Crawl Rate– Advanced crawl rate means that the search engine bots will visit your website more frequently, which can help you to get indexed more quickly.
  • Increased Visibility and Traffic– All of the benefits of on-page SEO mentioned above will lead to increased visibility and traffic for your website. This is because when people are looking for information online, they are likely to check out the first website that appears at the top of the search engine results pages.
  • Boosting Organic Traffic– On-Page SEO helps with boosting organic traffic to your website because it helps the search engine bots to index your pages more easily. When your pages are indexed, they are more likely to appear in the search engine results pages, which will lead to increased traffic for your website.
  • Higher CTRs (Click Through Rates)– Meta titles and meta descriptions are two important elements of on-page SEO that can help to increase your website’s CTR. A well-written meta title and meta description will encourage people to click through to your website, which will result in higher CTR’s for your website.
  • Improved User Experience– On-page SEO also helps to improve the user experience of your website. This is essential for any website, as a good user experience will encourage people to stay on your website and continue using it.

 

Off-Page SEO

“Off-page SEO” (also known as “off-site SEO”) refers to actions taken outside your own website to impact your search engine results rankings (SERPs).

Optimizing off-site ranking criteria includes enhancing search engine awareness and understanding of the visibility, importance, trustworthiness and authority of a site. This is accomplished by linking to or promoting your website through other reputable places on the Internet (pages, sites, people, etc.) and effectively “vouching” for the quality of your content. There are three main types of links, defined by how they were earned: natural links, manually constructed links, or self-created linkages. 

Benefits of Off-Page SEO

When it comes to the benefits  of off-page SEO, there are many such as:

  • Higher Rankings- One of the main benefits of off-page SEO is that it can help to improve your website’s rankings in Google and other search engines. This is because off-page SEO helps to build trust and authority.
  • Increase Exposure- When it comes to increasing your website’s exposure,  off-page SEO is essential. This is because off-page SEO helps to get your website in front of more people due to higher rankings.
  • Increase Your Authority-  Off-page SEO can also help to increase your website’s authority. This is because when you have links from high quality websites, it helps to show Google and other search engines that your website is also a high-quality website. This helps you beat out the competition by increasing trustworthiness and relevancy.
  • Drive Traffic to Your Website-   Off-page SEO can also help drive traffic to your website. This is because when your website ranks higher, it’s more likely that people will click on it.

There are a wide variety of off-page SEO techniques that can help you improve your website’s rankings. It’s important to remember that off-page SEO is key to ensuring authority, trust, and relevance with your target audience.

Content Marketing Strategy

How Content Marketing Makes Your Website Look Better

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Content Writing, Marketing

Imagine you are a customer looking for an HVAC service. Your AC is starting to make weird noises and when you walk over to it you notice an odd smell. Previous experiences with AC units tells you that water is trapped somewhere beneath creating mildew and potentially bigger issues. You want to fix the problem but you have no idea how to do it yourself so you seek out someone more qualified to do this.

Thanks to your general knowledge of HVAC you feel that you have a pretty good idea of what a good HVAC company will look like. So you go on Google and look up “AC Repair” and begin to browse. You find two in your area with positive reviews and need to pick between the two. One of the websites is extremely busy. There is a lot going on throughout it and finding information is kind of a chore. On top of this, the information you can find is scarce.

On the other hand, you have a second website that is not only far easier to navigate but has plenty of info about their HVAC services. In fact, every single web page they have is full of content telling you how great their service is. They even have an entire page dedicated to the exact problem you are dealing with right now.

Of these two websites which company are you more likely to seek out the service of? More than likely it is going to be the services of the website that is full of content and even managed to address the exact problem you are having. This is an example of the edge that having great content marketing on your website can do for you. The better your content marketing, the better your website looks.

How To Achieve A Great Content Marketing Strategy

The path to a great content marketing strategy is something that sounds far more simple than it is and it is to make sure your website has as much content as possible and be sure that content is at high quality. When someone is seeking out a service they are going to look for someone that not only sounds qualified but plays the look of it as well.

Consider your website to be the first impression that you ever give a customer. If that first impression is related to having a difficult time finding the information they are seeking, a lack of information from what they do find, and a complete disregard for the user experience then that is going to put you at an immediate disadvantage. You want a website that will draw the user into your website not push them away from you.

One way to draw them in is to feature plenty of information for them to consume. Let’s go back to the HVAC example. If someone is seeking out an HVAC service then they are going to want plenty of information on what services you provide for your HVAC services such as AC Repair and AC Maintenance, but if you live somewhere that has harsh winters then you will want pages that also showcase Furnace repair, installation, and maintenance.

Identify who you are trying to appeal to. Most HVAC companies apply their services to both residential properties and commercial properties, but if you are a company that focuses in only one area then you will want to showcase that. Especially if you are a business that provides a service meant to sell to other businesses.

So make your website show this from the start through your content. If you are someone that specializes in working with other businesses then the user should be able to see this as soon as they start looking through your service pages. Alternatively, if you are someone that really wants to focus on residential customers then that is who your content should be driven towards. If you want to have both then do your best to show that you offer an even amount of services for both.

Should My Content For Commercial And Residential Be Separate?

Absolutely, yes. Even if the service you are providing is similar, let’s use HVAC as an example again, there are going to be major differences in how you approach your potential customer base. If you are offering an HVAC service then residential customers may be more comfortable knowing that you are someone that is very clean and timely. You show up at the times requested and they do not need to call you back once the service has been complete. They want confirmation you are friendly and someone that can be trusted. This is their home you are working on after all.

A commercial business on the other hand you will be working with completely different HVAC units. Likely larger, more complicated, and in need of maintenance more often. They want to know that you are qualified to get the job done, can do so quickly, and offer a rate that the commercial business considers fair. There are similarities to the residential job, such as being able to perform the job in a timely manner, but the key points that may make them take on your service will be different

Keeping the two separated is a good way of making sure you show your best self to each potential customer base. Showing this through your content is a great way for the user to see that you understand the different needs of different people.

Social Listening- Take Your Social Media to the Next Level

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Marketing, Social Media

“The customer is always right” has been the rule of thumb for as long as businesses have existed. Return business depends on the customer feeling valued. Being valued begins with listening.  Listening to the customer means not only hearing them but understanding what they want.

This concept is put into practice by a business by listening to the customer and what they want. This practice is no different on social media when it comes to your company’s brand and what you are putting out into the world for the customer to see. A practice and example of this that I was taught early on in my career, paraphrasing, “My favorite color is blue but that doesn’t mean I can put blue everywhere and use it in every campaign. I am catering to the customer and their desire. Just because my favorite color is blue does not mean that it is everyone else’s favorite color.” 

As humans, we are visual beings when it comes to consumerism. We make a judgment based on the first thing we see. If what we are seeing is not desirable, we move onto something else that does catch our eye. Listen to your new followers and most importantly, returning customers on social media to what they want to see. They are your audience, connect with them.

By ignoring what our audience wants we are disconnected from them. When we are disconnected from our audience, we cannot service or leave an impact on them. Companies often guess at what an audience wants to see versus listening to what they want. If any of this applies to your company, make a plan of action and ask yourself questions: “Who is the audience? What do they want to see? What could be a more effective way of connecting with them? What performs the best and gets the most engagement?”

Companies monitor their social media, which is a necessary part of a social media campaign, but it is taking bits and pieces of information versus looking at the whole picture. Engaging with your customers and assuring them that their comment has been seen is great, but did you listen to that person when they made a comment? Proper social listening means looking at the industry your company belongs to as a whole versus your one small piece of it. What is working for other companies that might be more successful than yours? How could you use it as inspiration and do something similar, but more importantly, better? 

Let’s look at social listening and social monitoring from a business performance perspective. Imagine you are a business owner with more than one location. If one of your locations was performing better than another with the same location to customer ratios you would listen to the customers leaving poor reviews and initiate some type of change as a result. This change would be put into motion with an investigation as to why one store is getting better reviews than the other. For example, if a review was left saying “Business- Location A is much more attentive when I come in to shop than Business-Location B, it takes ten minutes for someone to ask if I need help at Location B and at Location A someone is ready to help me as soon as I walk through the door.” As a business owner, you want both locations to be equally successful, so you would address the customer and acknowledge their complaint. Next, you might put a standard in place to greet customers and ask if they need help when they come into the store versus waiting until they look like they might need help after a period of time. By addressing the customer, you are monitoring the issue and bringing awareness to it but taking it that one step further to make a change in your store locations you are listening.

With that example in mind, look at your social media campaign the same way. If a specific type of post is performing better than another, listen to what your audience is saying and make a change. Research other companies in your industry and see if their top-performing posts are similar or different from your top-performing posts. If they are different see how you can change a type of post that is not performing as well as you want to align closer to what your audience is responding positively to. Making a change to a low engagement post has no negative outcome. If the post responds equally or worse than the original, you can always go back to the original style of the post but if it performs better than you’ve created more brand awareness and listened to what your audience wants.

Social listening can improve the health of your brand, give an insight into what works versus what doesn’t, and analyzes the competition versus your company’s campaign. Take advantage of your social media analytics to get further insight and start listening to your audience engagement. It is important to let your audience know they are seen, but it is even more important to let your audience know they are heard. An audience member on social media who feels heard but is not an existing customer could potentially be your next biggest and most loyal customer to date.

At The AD Leaf ® we understand that not every business has the extra time to invest their full efforts into social media. We are here to listen to your needs so that your customers can feel heard on social media, contact us via our phone number, 321.255.0900, or set up a consultation at TheAdLeaf.com, or you can email us to info@fun-ruby-snake.65-181-111-5.cpanel.site.

When Was The Last Time You Reviewed Your Website Content?

The Power of Fresh Website Content & Why It Matters for Your Brand

Your website serves as your digital storefront, and just like a physical store, it needs regular upkeep to remain appealing and relevant. Whether you’re a small business or a large corporation, routinely refreshing your website’s copy can improve your search engine rankings, attract new customers, and stay ahead of the competition.

With so many sources for intriguing, informative, and entertaining content online, keeping your website fresh and updated is no longer optional. If visitors land on outdated pages with stale content, they may assume your business is inactive or that your information is unreliable. More importantly, search engines like Google reward websites that consistently update their content, helping you climb the rankings and reach more potential customers.

Fresh is Best for SEO

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a fundamental part of digital marketing, and content freshness plays a crucial role in how search engines assess and rank your website. Here’s why fresh content is so critical for SEO:

1. Frequent Indexing by Search Engines

Search engines constantly crawl websites to determine their relevance and authority. When you update your content regularly, search engine bots revisit your site more often, increasing the chances of better indexing and improved rankings.

2. Higher Search Rankings

Google’s algorithm values relevance and freshness. Websites that consistently publish new blog posts update service pages and refresh product descriptions are more likely to rank higher in search results than static, rarely updated sites.

3. More Keyword Opportunities

Each time you create new content, you can include valuable keywords and long-tail search phrases that potential customers are searching for. These keywords on your website can attract a broader audience over time just by staying current on content.

4. Increased Organic Traffic

Fresh content encourages repeat visits from both users and search engines. When you regularly publish informative and engaging material, users are likelier to share it, boosting organic traffic and brand visibility.

Evergreen & Trending Content Matters

Did you know that 68% of online experiences begin with a search engine and that Google owns 91.61% of the search engine market share? Source: (https://aioseo.com/seo-statistics/) This illustrates how important your brand is to rank well on Google and other search engines.

Keeping your website’s content updated isn’t just about satisfying search engines. 

Utilizing a mix of evergreen content that will remain relevant for years and the recent trending copy can deliver value to your audience and keep them engaged. Here’s why refreshing your content should be a priority:

  • Establishes Industry Authority: Regularly publishing high-quality content like blog posts, case studies, and expert insights can position your brand as a thought leader.
  • Enhances User Experience: Visitors are more likely to stay on your site and explore further when they find up-to-date and relevant information. Outdated content can lead to frustration and higher bounce rates.
  • Keeps Your Brand Competitive: If your competitors consistently publish new content while your site remains stagnant, they’ll gain an edge in search rankings and audience engagement. Staying competitive requires maintaining fresh, compelling content that resonates with your target market.
  • Aligns with Business Growth: Your website should reflect those changes as your business evolves. Whether launching new products, updating services, or rebranding, your content should communicate these developments clearly to your audience.

Stay Current in Today’s Evolving Digital Environment

At The AD Leaf, we understand the importance of maintaining a dynamic and engaging online presence. Our team of experienced content creators, SEO strategists, and digital marketers is here to help your business thrive by providing fresh, high-quality website content tailored to your unique needs.

  • Website Copy Updates: We refresh outdated website pages, ensuring your brand messaging is current and compelling.
  • Landing Page Optimization: Conversion-focused content that drives leads and sales.
  • Social Media and Email Marketing Content: Engaging copy for multi-channel marketing strategies to expand your reach.

Don’t Let Your Website Go Stale

Investing in fresh website content isn’t just a one-time task but an ongoing process yielding long-term benefits. Regular updates improve your SEO and enhance your brand’s credibility and user engagement.

Using Social Media To Reopen Your Business

Posted on | by TAL Admin
Social Media

With many social restrictions being lifted within the next month, how do you plan to reopen your business? Chances are a social media method of marketing that has come to your mind. After all, marketing is the most effective way to get a message out to the public. Whether you’re a local restaurant, a flooring center, or a specialty store you’re probably very eager to open your doors to the public and begin to operate your business again. One of the most effective ways to ensure a successful reopening is by using social media to keep in contact with your customers and keep them updated on your company.

 

Companies that have actively utilized social media during the stay at home order have the biggest advantage. By keeping communication clear and readily available they will be fresh in the minds of customers who are looking forward to returning to normal life and supporting businesses again. Companies that have canceled communication or haven’t used social media to engage with their customers will have a harder challenge when reopening. A startling fact is that 62% of Americans get their news updates from social media. With that being said, keeping an open line of communication with your customers has never been more important to your business. If your company is currently not using social media during this time, don’t delay any further, update your customers of what’s going on for your company, don’t disappear on your customers when they need you most! 

 

One of the most beneficial things your business can do on social media to announce your relaunching is by creating a Facebook ad. You can use these ads to target locations, demographics, and interests to directly target your desired audience. These ads will be able to be seen by hundreds to thousands of people per day and possibly, even more, depending on your budget and ad duration. You can also choose different campaign objectives such as brand awareness, traffic to your website, lead generation, and even a call now button to get your customers engaged and ready to do business with you. A great way to utilize these is to discuss the plans of your company when your door reopens. Are you running any specials, discounts, or events? Are you changing your companies service lines or structure? These are great things that you can promote to bring the attention back to your brand. There are also other social media ads that you can run such as Pinterest ads that also can effectively capture the attention of your target audience to bring business back to you when you need it most. Visibility and getting noticed should be one of your biggest goals for marketing at this time. Without visibility, your customers will not know if you are open or closed which can be especially damaging when your customers need you most. Many people have been quarantined for over a month and returning to normal life is one of their main priorities moving forward. Now is the time to let your customers know what’s going on and get them excited about your brand. 

 

Using social media to communicate with your customers as well as engage with them also shows that your brand has a personable approach. With everyone dealing with hard times, now is the best time to show the vulnerable side of your company. Use it to show empathy, and show ways that you’re helping in the community and with your customer. Show ways that you are helping your workers or keeping them safe such as social distancing and sanitary practices. Difficult times like our current situation show the true character and values of a company. Use this to your advantage to show your customers why they can trust you and should do business with you. Companies that can handle the situation well and show that they care will be able to capture the most business and trust of the customer. 

 

It doesn’t have to al be about business though. Social media can also be used in a lighthearted approach to keep customers engaged while also having some fun. Some great ideas would be to have customers share their experiences and photos on your company page. You can also hold contests that allow customers to engage with your account to be entered into a drawing or raffle for free prizes and services. Many social media users have been bombarded with news updates about the coronavirus and seeing a post unrelated to the virus that allows them to have a little fun can be very appealing to the customer. Change up your social media posting strategy to give your customers an escape from reality while keeping them engaged with your company. 

 

By following these social media techniques along with an effective reopening strategy you will be able to open your business back up successfully and resume business with your customers and hopefully gain some new ones in the process. Now is not the time to retreat from social media and your customer, now is the time to re-evaluate your strategy and reconnect with your customers. Are you interested in reopening your business with the help of social media? We can help you! Contact us by phone at (321)-255-0900 or by email at info@fun-ruby-snake.65-181-111-5.cpanel.site

5 reasons small business content marketing

5 Reasons Every Small Business Should be Using Content Marketing

5 Reasons Every Small Business Should Be Using Content Marketing

Paid advertising has long been the go-to strategy for driving traffic and getting quick results. However, the content marketing landscape has undergone significant changes. With over 200 million people using ad blockers on desktop and more than 615 million mobile devices equipped with the same, fewer people are even seeing your ads, let alone clicking them.
So where do small businesses turn when traditional advertising hits a wall? The answer lies in content marketing.

Content marketing does more than fill a blog. It builds trust, nurtures relationships, and positions your brand as a valuable resource. Instead of chasing your audience with ads, you invite them in with valuable, relevant content that solves problems and answers questions. It’s an innovative, sustainable approach that pays off, especially when integrated across your entire digital strategy, from email marketing to social media.

Additionally, today’s consumers are more informed and discerning. They want to engage with brands that provide genuine value before making a purchase. By delivering educational, entertaining, or inspirational content, you meet them where they are in the buyer’s journey, without putting pressure on them. Over time, this content fosters a relationship that facilitates sales more easily and organically.

Wondering about the best methods for marketing your brand to the largest possible audience? Here’s why content marketing deserves a place in your business growth plan:

1. Achieve More With a Smaller Budget

Content marketing typically costs 62% less than traditional advertising, yet it delivers up to three times the number of leads. When used strategically, it becomes a high-ROI engine that feeds your entire marketing ecosystem. Repurpose your content across your email marketing, social channels, and even local SEO efforts. One piece of content can work hard in many places. The more you create, the more tools you have to nurture leads and close sales over time.

2. Build Credibility Without the Hard Sell

Constant promotion gets old fast. Content marketing allows you to stay top-of-mind by offering insight, not just offers. Share industry trends, customer tips, and behind-the-scenes perspectives that show your knowledge and authenticity. When customers trust your expertise, they’re more likely to choose your product or service when it counts. Thoughtful content also positions you as a thought leader, which boosts your perceived value in a crowded market.

3. Improve Your Organic Search Rankings

Big brands aren’t the only ones that can rank well on Google. Quality, relevant content can elevate your visibility, even in competitive spaces. Google favors fresh, helpful information over sheer volume, which gives smaller businesses an edge when they focus on relevance and consistency. Strong content that incorporates local SEO strategies also helps you get found by people in your area who are actively searching for what you offer. Better rankings mean more clicks, and more clicks often mean more customers.

4. Strengthen Your Brand as a Trusted Resource

People remember the businesses that consistently provide value. When customers see your brand as a go-to source for answers or inspiration, you naturally build loyalty. The more helpful your content, the more they come back, and not just to read. Over time, a well-maintained content library becomes one of your most valuable digital assets. This type of trust-driven brand development plays a significant role in converting casual visitors into repeat buyers.

5. Keep Your Website Fresh and Engaging

If your website hasn’t changed in months, search engines take notice, and not in a good way. Google prioritizes websites that update frequently with relevant content. Every new blog post, article, or update signals that your business is active, engaged, and worth ranking. Regular content updates also provide your visitors with a reason to return and engage with your site, thereby improving performance metrics across the board. A content-rich site also gives you more opportunities to answer specific customer questions and turn that search traffic into conversions.

You’re juggling a lot as a business owner, and writing content probably isn’t at the top of your list. That’s where we come in. Suppose you’re ready to build your brand, increase visibility, and maximize your marketing investment. In that case, we’re here to help with expert content marketing that integrates seamlessly with your email marketing and local SEO strategies.
