More than half of <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/science-technology\/the-growing-risks-of-digital-advertising-and-how-brands\/363545\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/science-technology\/the-growing-risks-of-digital-advertising-and-how-brands\/363545\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">U.S. marketing dollars<\/strong><\/a> were spent on digital platforms like Google and Facebook in 2021. These platforms can help you target specific consumers and track effectiveness while you focus on other aspects of the business.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Despite the benefits of paid marketing platforms, a marketing strategy dependent on these platforms has risks. Setting up an automated spending stream can also lead to overspending if you don\u2019t check in. Changing algorithms and the rise of AI might end up hurting performance or increasing prices without you even knowing it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To make sure your work reaches the right people no matter what happens in the digital space, you should test out some new approaches and build a more diversified marketing strategy. Here\u2019s how to do it.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Don\u2019t doubt <strong>direct<\/strong>\u00a0mail<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">It may seem old-fashioned, but there\u2019s a reason direct mail is still valued at <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/growing-a-business\/direct-mail-marketing-strategies-to-target-each-generation\/430313\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/growing-a-business\/direct-mail-marketing-strategies-to-target-each-generation\/430313\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">$72.67 billion<\/strong><\/a> and advertisers call it their \u201cbest-kept secret\u201d. Direct mail marketing bypasses overloaded inboxes, adds a personal touch and creates trust with consumers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Unless you hire a door-to-door salesman, direct mail is the only advertising option that gets you inside your consumer\u2019s home, sitting on the kitchen counter. Mailings with handwritten additions create personal connections and make consumers more likely to open the mail.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Of course, this strategy comes with its downsides. Although online marketing lets you see how many people view your ad, you\u2019ll only know if somebody received your direct mail if they respond to it.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To mitigate this risk, you should include a direct call to action such as scanning a QR code or sending back an enclosed postcard. This both engages the consumer and helps you gauge the effectiveness of your campaign.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Focus on\u00a0facetime<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In-person events can generate trust and buzz in a way that most other marketing cannot. Meeting people face-to-face builds trust and creates memories. When someone remembers you and trusts you, they\u2019re more likely to tell their friends about the interaction, which generates engagement from new consumers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">In-person events can take on several forms including handing out samples at the local farmers market, attending a conference in your field, hosting a booth at a conference, setting up a stand in a popular park or intersection, hosting a meet and greet at a local bookstore or restaurant or even planning a launch event for your brand.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Whether you attend an event or host your own, successful in-person marketing includes three elements. First, you need to market your event and generate excitement: Tell people where you\u2019ll be and why they should come to talk to you. Second, you need to make an impression: Have your elevator pitch prepared and your smile ready. Third, leave them with something to remember you by. Leaving them with something physical, such as a business card or branded item, means they can find it later and remember to go look up your business.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Go guerilla<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">If face-to-face interactions don\u2019t seem memorable enough, guerilla marketing tactics might do the trick. Guerilla marketing encompasses any creative marketing strategy intended to be high-impact and low-cost advertising. They aim to be unconventional and get the public engaged with the brand or product.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">These campaigns can be as elaborate as a <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/moosend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mcdonalds-guerrilla-marketing-street-art.jpg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/moosend.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/08\/mcdonalds-guerrilla-marketing-street-art.jpg\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">McDonald\u2019s<\/strong><\/a> french fry crosswalk or as simple as a <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/281756520408023560\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.pinterest.com\/pin\/281756520408023560\/\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">pink construction paper mouth<\/strong><\/a> wrapped around a light post with pull-off business cards made to look like teeth.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Unlike many of the other tactics, tracking the effectiveness of a guerilla campaign can be tricky. To see its impact, it could be useful to pull back on some other marketing strategies while you\u2019re running the campaign so you know that a bump in sales came from the campaign and not a well-timed email.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Tried and true email marketing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Email marketing can be an effective tactic, but it\u2019s only as powerful as the time you put into it. Good email marketing can drive conversions and build relationships, but this requires a strong email list, engaging campaigns and well-timed delivery. Luckily, there are plenty of tools, tips and tricks to help you make an effective email campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">To build a strong list, consider using in-person campaigns, make sure your brand templates allow people to sign-up and tease upcoming email content on social media to drive registrations.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Once you have a strong list, use segmentation to increase the effectiveness of your messaging. Randomized list segmentation allows you to conduct A\/B testing by sending different messages to subsets of your email list. Analyzing the click-through rates on these messages can show you which messages are more effective with your audience.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Invest in influencers<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Influencer marketing, working with an online personality to promote your product, lets you reach your perfect customer faster and build trust with them more quickly. By partnering with an influencer, you\u2019re able to leverage their credibility, which is something you cannot do with static digital ads.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Finding the right influencer could be key to your success. Over the past five years, the influencing market has <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/mckinsey-explainers\/what-is-influencer-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/featured-insights\/mckinsey-explainers\/what-is-influencer-marketing\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">increased by 50%<\/strong><\/a>. With influencers on every platform from TikTok to online blogs, there\u2019s something for everyone. To find the right influencer, ask yourself these questions: <em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Does the influencer\u2019s day-to-day content align with your brand? Do they have good recommendations from other clients? Does their audience overlap with your customer base? Does their audience trust them?<\/em><\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Influencers are most effective when you establish a long-term partnership; however, you will want to make sure you\u2019ve chosen the right influencer before committing for the long run. As you run your initial campaigns with an influencer, you make sure to use trackable links to understand if an increase in traffic comes from your influencer or your other marketing strategies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">If there\u2019s not an influencer that makes sense for your brand, you could consider leveraging your account and becoming a <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/science-technology\/5-serious-instagram-growth-strategies-for-micro-influencer\/329237\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/science-technology\/5-serious-instagram-growth-strategies-for-micro-influencer\/329237\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">micro-influencer<\/strong><\/a> for your brand.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Create content marketing<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Content marketing, or creating <a class=\"markup--anchor markup--p-anchor\" href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/growing-a-business\/how-to-create-a-content-marketing-strategy-that-really-works\/438780\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-href=\"https:\/\/www.entrepreneur.com\/growing-a-business\/how-to-create-a-content-marketing-strategy-that-really-works\/438780\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\">compelling content<\/strong><\/a> that generates interest in your business goals, can be very effective for driving long-term investment in your work. \u201cContent\u201d includes things like blog articles, videos, podcasts and infographics.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">Start creating a content strategy by doing a content audit: What content are your competitors putting out? How are people responding to it? Once you get a lay of the land, think about your target audience and what kind of content they consume. Will they be more responsive to videos on Instagram or blog posts on top publications?<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">No matter what type of content you create, make sure that the content drives brand awareness. If you create an infographic, make sure to incorporate your logo, use your brand colors and maintain a consistent artistic style so customers immediately recognize your work. If you write blogs, make sure to drop links to your website or your email subscription link to drive traffic back to your site.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"graf graf--h3\">Diversify your strategies<\/h2>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">No matter which strategies you choose, pursuing more than one marketing strategy will be key to growing your brand and your business. As you start your new project, paid advertising platforms might feel like a simple, hands-off way to get your marketing done right, but relying entirely on paid platforms limits your visibility, especially in the post-pandemic era.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\">No matter how good your product might be, if nobody knows it exists, you will not have any customers. Pairing different marketing strategies, like using a direct mail campaign to grow your email list, will be key to building long-term relationships and driving conversions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"graf graf--p\"><strong class=\"markup--strong markup--p-strong\"><em class=\"markup--em markup--p-em\">Thanks for reading!
