We’re almost at the end of 2022, and by now, it’s necessary to have a professional online presence. A website is where it starts, but leveraging small business marketing strategies you haven’t yet tried could help your business grow and thrive next year – and beyond.

Redesign Your Website

Web design includes more than just choosing key colors and using keywords. You need a website that will market your business for you. The goal is to ensure your website has high conversion rates and low bounce rates, increasing your bottom line. Unfortunately, suppose you are working with an SEO agency or a web designer. In that case, there’s a good chance that you’re not getting a marketing-activated website, which means you’re wasting your money.

Take Another Look at SEO

SEO, done well, can help your business expand its online presence and attract eager buyers for your products and services. Done poorly, it can do some severe damage to your online presence. You must have a strong profile in search results – period. If you want to enjoy more passive leads from the internet and more targeted traffic to your website, then you need a great SEO plan.

Invest In Paid Ads

Pay-per-click ads can be one of the most effective, affordable ways to get your phone ringing. Of course, as with any tactic that works well, you’re not the only company using PPC online ads. The competition means that small businesses can easily get lost in the crowd. No matter what form of internet advertising you use, it’s crucial that you use these strategies to your advantage.

Beef Up Your Content

Content marketing offers many benefits, but today there’s plenty of noise in the marketplace as more businesses crank out large amounts of content to increase their customer base and improve search engine rankings. If you don’t have the right content marketing strategy, your money and efforts could be wasted. Different forms of content reach different people, and a strategy that uses multiple formats works best. 

Check Out Your Reputation

All it takes is one bad review to tank your sales. Online reviews are today’s word-of-mouth marketing; if people see one bad review about your business, it’s often enough to keep them from becoming customers. It is possible to deal with the damage that comes with a bad review, but you have to know a bad review is there to deal with it effectively. Your business needs to invest in an innovative, efficient online reputation management approach that will make the most of your reputation and enhance your rankings and visibility in search engines.

Automate Your Email Marketing

If you’re finding success with email marketing, take it to the next level by investing in tools that automate your efforts. Look for email software with pre-made templates, automation settings, and integration with your website and other marketing software currently being used. However, remember that these tools aren’t hands-off, and you still need to be hands-on with the process unless you outsource some (or all) of these steps.

Follow Up on Referrals

At its most fundamental level, referral programs are a marketing tactic that helps to encourage your customers to become amplifiers for your brand. However, this isn’t about getting just anyone to become a customer. A well-planned referral program targets those leads who are the best fit for your business, meaning they’re much more likely to convert. This makes your other marketing strategies much more effective with much higher ROI because the leads are warm.

Marketing tends to focus on analytics and systems, but we sometimes forget about one powerful tool that has existed since the beginning: storytelling. From our ancestors telling ancient myths to be passed down for the generations to come to modern-day brand narratives, stories have held the power to inspire and connect in all different ways. Today, consumers face a constant bombardment of advertisements and catered content; using the power of storytelling in marketing campaigns has become critical for businesses, especially smaller firms aiming to create meaningful connections with their target clients. Why Storytelling is an Effective Strategy When a brand uses storytelling to convey its message, it connects with the audience emotionally. By telling a compelling story, marketers can create a memorable experience for consumers, making them more likely to remember and engage with the brand. Additionally, storytelling allows marketers to communicate the brand's values and personality more authentically. Instead of bombarding consumers with sales pitches, storytelling enables brands to share their stories and build trust with their audience, increasing brand loyalty and customer engagement. The Emotional Resonance of Stories At the heart of storytelling lies its ability to bring out emotions and create profound connections on a human level. Unlike traditional marketing messages focusing solely on product features or sales pitches, stories can engage the audience's imagination, stir empathy, and spark genuine interest. By weaving narratives that resonate with their target audience's hopes, dreams, and challenges, small marketing firms can create a powerful emotional bond that transcends transactional relationships. Building Brand Identity and Authenticity Storytelling is a potent tool for small businesses to authentically define and express their brand identity. Through compelling narratives that reflect their values, mission, and vision, small firms can differentiate themselves from competitors and carve out a distinct identity in the minds of consumers. Whether recounting the founder's journey, highlighting customer success stories, or showcasing the company's commitment to social responsibility, storytelling allows small businesses to humanize their brand and foster customer trust and loyalty.

In a world of "influencer marketing" and brand deals, companies can easily overspend their marketing budgets and get caught up in the frenzy. An influencer may feature your product or brand only for their videos to perform poorly. At best, you lose out on the money spent sending the product to the influencer and whatever you spent on hiring them. At worst, your business gets a bad reputation online, and customers don't take your brand seriously. Consider that influencer marketing is just the "shiny new toy" in marketing. In that case, companies should continue to produce consistent, cost-effective outcome. One source for this? Your Employees. Employee-generated content refers to any videos, pictures, or copy that employees publicly post about their position and the company. Find out the benefits of employee-generated content (EGC), what this content can look like, and how to implement EGC into your overall strategy. What Does Employee-Generated Content Look Like? The beauty of employee-generated content is that it can take many forms. Any content your employees make that involves details about their role, the company itself, or the relationships they've developed with coworkers or customers/clients can be EGC. A simple, straightforward EGC piece can be an employee spotlight for new hires or veteran employees. You can choose to craft employee spotlights as infographics with a picture of the employee along with some fun facts about them, write a long-form piece from an interview with the employee speaking about their time at the company, or even long or short-form videos with the employee speaking on their experiences. While these methods may require the help of a graphic designer, copywriter, or videographer, the idea is that the employees generate the content by speaking about their experiences and introducing themselves. Other ideas for EGC pieces might be "day in the life" videos following a specific employee throughout their day, reflections employees have from conferences or professional development opportunities, employment milestones or recognitions, or even just pictures employees take with each other or showing what happened that day. There are limitless options and iterations for employee-generated content, and the key is to find out what works well for your business and why.

A lot has changed in marketing over the past few decades. The digital landscape, how consumers shop, and how businesses are created have all contributed to these changes. One aspect of marketing has remained constant: getting customers to purchase a product or service. However, the strategy and process of how prospects turn into customers have changed. The marketing funnel is how marketing teams aim to turn prospects into customers who have made a purchase and will become returning customers. Each company has its unique marketing funnel, but most boil down to similar steps. In the past, the marketing funnel followed the AIDA model: Awareness, Interest, Desire, and Action. Marketers are adding more steps to the funnel to secure their brand's position. Let's compare the tried-and-true marketing funnel with a modern iteration and learn how your small business can implement these steps.
