🆘 What is one of the biggest mistakes you can make with your brand? Inconsistent branding. 😱 Branding is what makes you recognizable. From your product or service offering to your logo and online presence, everything should be cohesive. Don’t stray from your colour palette, tone of voice, fonts, and everything else in your brand guide (if you don’t have one, create one STAT!). Consistency is the foundation of your identity. Once your audience can identify your brand, you build trust and reputation. People lean into what’s familiar. That’s why straying from things as simple as your brand colours can cause confusion. It makes it difficult for potential customers to distinguish you from other brands. Not sure if you have all the tools and elements you need for consistent branding? Let’s connect today and create a solid strategy together – link in bio!

4 Hashtag Myths # Using popular hashtags is a best practice. Myth. In fact, that’s the quickest way to bury your post! # You should use the same hashtags as competitors. Myth. You should be using more niche hashtags that make your business stand out and reach your ideal audience, not someone else’s. # You should only use a couple of hashtags. Myth. We recommend using all 30 if possible, to amplify your reach. # Hashtags will get you like and follows. Myth. Quality content and consistent posting will! Did we miss any myths?

Have you integrated user generated content (UGC) into your marketing strategy? 🤳🏼 User generated content is created by customers or clients and posted to their own social media channels. Think Instagram Stories that your business is tagged in, posts that are showcasing your product/service offering, or testimonials that they’ve shared. If you have the owner’s permission, we encourage you to repurpose this content for your own use. UGC promotes an active following and helps build brand reputation. Want to tap into building and encouraging user generate content? Reach out to our team of experts today to learn how to crack the code! Link in bio. ✨

So, you want marketing help but feel as though you’re not ready to invest in a strategy. Trust us when we say we understand tight budgets! But also trust us when we tell you that it may cost more, in the long run, to skip over this essential step. Strategies are the baseline for an organized marketing plan. They establish goals and objectives, solidify brand tone and voice, evaluate strengths and weaknesses, assess opportunities, conduct a competitive analysis and so much more. Without this integral step, a lot of the work is being produced blindly. Learn how @spodekandco can help build your brand and tell your story today! Link in bio.

Is your brand using buyer personas to help you effectively reach your target audience? 🧐 If you answered “no,” it’s time to start. Buyer persons are a fictional representation of your brand’s customer type(s) created to mirror your ideal client. Buyer personas are very specific and detailed in descriptions and consider things like gender, age, income, interests, behaviours, and more. Need support creating buyer personas for your marketing and business strategy? Connect with our team of experts and contact us via the link in our bio!

Your social media is not your website. 📲 Before you say, “I know!”, let us explain. ⬇️ People don’t want to follow an account that’s just full of ads – even for brands they love. Users are constantly being served ads on every digital medium – they don’t need to see it shared organically, too. Instead, create content for your audience that is helpful, fun, and educational! Of course, there are always exceptions to the rule and ways to integrate your product or service into these pillars. All we’re saying is mix it up and take a client-centric approach. After all, it’s about what they want, not you. 🤷🏼‍♀️ Need support upping your content game and strategy? Let’s connect! Link in bio.

Let’s talk followers👤 vs. community 👥 We all want people to view our profile and hit the follow button. But the truth is, those follows only matter if the content you’re sharing resonates with the user. While a surge in followers may feed the ego, it doesn’t really add any value to your bottom line. These are called “vanity metrics” -- they look good… and that’s about it. What your brand should be aiming for is engagement. That means building a community. It’s communities that comment, like and share your content, visit your website, make purchases, and provide you with valuable analytics. Why? Because those users are your target audience! 🎉 Looking to learn more? Head to the link in our bio and connect with our team of experts!

🔍 Why is SEO so important? Absolutely EVERY business should be using SEO (search engine optimization) in their digital marketing strategy – and keeping it up to date. We don’t have enough time (or characters ⌨️) to go through all the benefits, but there are a few to review. Oh, and if your brand doesn’t have any SEO groundwork laid down – please head straight to the link in our bio so we can help you get started ASAP! 😱 Okay, lets dive in! 🔍 Search engines like Google, YouTube, Safari, Yahoo, and more wouldn’t function without SEO to help lead users to the content and information they’re looking for. 🔍 Most web traffic is driven organically – which is why SEO website copy should be highly strategic to reach your target audience via search. 🔍 High quality SEO also means better user experience. If your audience can’t find what they’re searching for on your website, expect it to negatively impact your performance on search engines. 🔍 With more people using mobile devices for search, local SEO is essential for many businesses for proximity leads. This means creating pages on local listings like Google My Business. This is just the tip of the iceberg. SEO is complex and can be implemented in many ways.

💲Should your brand be using paid search?💲 Are you looking to update your digital marketing strategy and wondering if paid search is the right move for your brand? Here are five things to consider before taking the leap: 🤑 Paid search is a great option for those who are trying to drive targeted traffic quickly. 🤑 If you’re on a tight budget, paid search may not be the place to start. Budgets can certainly be adjusted but pay-per-click can be costly. 🤑 That said, not every person is going to click on your ad, in which case you’re still improving your brand recognition. 🤑 Paid search is an awesome choice for brands looking to improve their local search as you can target those close in proximity. 🤑 Make sure your organic marketing is in place first. Without an organic foundation, you’re much less likely to drive leads. Want to learn more but not sure where to start? Reach out to our team of experts today to see how your brand can successfully integrate paid search into your strategy.
