It’s Scary That You’re Missing These 5 Marketing Skills

Some of the things you (or your clients) AREN’T doing … are so scary. Like really scary.

2. Your Lack of Email Marketing is SCARY

The myth that email marketing is dead is just like a haunted house, only real if you believe it, and a waste of your time.

3. NOT Having Professional Headshots is Scary!

Headshots, and quality photos of yourself in general, is so important to your personal brand.

Your audience loves seeing photos of you, they make easy perfect content for social media graphics, and in general it just makes you look more professional and prepared! If you’re writing articles for any blog, we need headshots for your graphics.

Not just one headshot either if you’re going to be writing more than one blog, we need a PLETHORA. Different poses, different facial expressions, different outfits, we need variety.

4. Your Nonexistent Personal Brand is SCARY

If you’re trying to sell yourself as an expert in the field, you are your best testimonial! If you can’t sell yourself, how are you going to sell someone else?

This means having successful personal business accounts! If you’re saying you can help a company market themselves on social media, but you don’t have a personal account to send them as an example of how well it can go … how will they trust you?

Get a grip! You need to have a Black Friday promotion for your company. Here’s just a few stats to prove our point:

• Average order values increased by 9% in 2021. (Source: Bluecore)
• People aged 35-44 were most likely to partake in Black Friday (Source: Finder)
• Less than 50% of retailers offered sitewide Black Friday discounts in 2021. (Source: Forrester)
• Black Friday was the best day for furniture/bedding and tools/home improvement purchases. (Source: Adobe Digital Insights)
