It’s the middle of summer – the perfect time to try one or more of these five marketing hacks to refresh your marketing efforts!
Syndicate Old Content
Once you create a piece of content, push it out to social media, and follow up with your initial rounds of commenters, most brands consider that source “tapped,” and never revisit it again. In some cases, this is necessary—especially if the article is news-based or otherwise temporary in nature. But if the article is evergreen, it will hold a permanent value. Why let this value sit idly on your blog when you could continue tapping it periodically for long-term dividends? Keep a list of your old evergreen content pieces, and re-syndicate them occasionally. This will generate new interest from new followers, and may be valuable to older followers who didn’t see it the first time around.
Use Custom Landing Pages
Building a landing page takes time and effort, but they’re far more useful when they exist as a cluster. Each individual landing page should serve a highly specialized purpose, targeting a niche audience and serving one specific need; this allows you to refine the small details of your approach to cater to one specific type of conversion at a time. But beyond that, you’ll need to create multiple versions of each functional landing page, splitting your strategy even further into variants. The goal here is to compare and contrast how all your different landing pages perform, giving you more data and more user insights you can use to speed up the development of your campaign.
Create a Google My Business Page
This is a great way to boost your online visibility. This listing will make your business easy to find on Google Search and Google Maps. It will also allow Google+ users to easily review your business. As local business reviews increase, your search engine rankings will also improve. It would also be a good idea to add your business to the Yahoo Local listing. Read More
Curate Content for Social Media
In order to build a loyal following on social media, you need to be considered a consistent source of high-quality content from a variety of sources that either informs, entertains, inspires or helps your followers whenever they see it. Ideally the content you will curate and share should meet more than one (if not all) of those criteria. You need to find other companies and social media users who are sharing quality content in your niche. Once you find them, you can re-share the things that they’ve shared and benefit from all the work they’ve put in to creating or finding that great content.
Make Your CTA Painfully Obvious
Before you begin implementing any type of content marketing strategy for your company, the most important thing you need to decide is what you want your website visitors to do while they are there. Because we are consuming information faster than ever before, we are all the more likely to ignore the more subtle marketing messages we might encounter online. That’s why it’s so important that bloggers and business owners include a clear call to action as frequently as possible while still feeling natural and logical within the content.
