Adapt Your Marketing Strategy
Charles Darwin did not say the strongest or smartest of the species survive. Darwin meant those who are most capable of adapting to their environment gain the upper hand and survive. This is true for the species and for business. If there was ever a time to adapt it is today with the changes impacting our businesses. Don’t say “I’ve never done that before” or “We’ve always done it this way.” Look for fresh perspectives and new ideas that fit the new normal.

A Special Kind of Clean Up
A client recently contacted me about doing more social media posting. First step was to see which platforms she had set up and what had been done so far.
Come to find out, there were:
2 Gmail accounts
1 with a business page
1 with a YouTube channel
1 Yahoo
2 Instagram accounts
3 YouTube channels
No clue what emails 2 of them went to
1 Twitter account she didn’t need
2 Facebook business page
1 MailChimp account
Before we could get to work, the client had to reset all of the passwords because she didn’t have a good list of Usernames and Passwords. THIS INFO IS CRITICAL TO YOUR BUSINESS! Use LastPass or another password keeper to record all usernames, passwords, PIN#, security questions. (Another client couldn’t access one of her accounts because she couldn’t remember if the answer to the security question was farmer, Farmer or cotton farmer. Capitalization counts in passwords and security answers!!)
We went to each account and reviewed the info. Every profile had different information! There was no consistency in the services she said she was offering, the descriptions of the services or even the way she had input the company name! This is very detrimental to your marketing efforts. Branding 101 requires that you use the same company name every time, every where. Then to increase your Search Engine Optimization you need to use the same keywords to list your services and to describe them.
Keywords
Keep a list of your keywords by your computer. Everything you write for your website, your social media, your eNewsletters, etc. should use these words. Why? Keywords are what your clients use to search for your services on Google, on Facebook, on Instagram. If you are sloppy with your keywords, they can’t find you.
Before you get too self-righteous about the mess this poor client was in, I challenge you to go look at your site and profiles right now! You may find the same confusion!

How to track website traffic: how many people are visiting your site?
“The term website traffic refers to the number of internet users visiting your website. Traffic can arrive from wide-ranging sources, such as directly typing in your website address, through other websites that link to your site, organic traffic (meaning they come to your site from the search results), paid traffic (people who click on your online ads), through your social media, and other channels. The total number of these users visiting your website combined is what we call website traffic.”

Sales Emails
I think this is a very excellent example of a sales email. It is promoting book sales. It could just as easily be used for a webinar, a class or an event.
- You see an image of the front of the book
- You see the costs
- You see a short description written with bullet points
Then there are images and descriptions to address specific pain points. After each section, there is a Buy Now button. The images “say” more than the descriptions.
In closing, there is another image of the book cover and a description. The costs are repeated.
So this is a fast skim to see if the information applies to me. The email keeps my attention by addressing specific pain points and different levels of need. They start with How to Meditate and move to How to Deepen Your Practice.
This email has a much greater chance of grabbing my interest than a message that has 1 description and 1 price. Especially if that description is long and wordy!
