Voice Marketing

    Voice marketing has been steadily growing popular over the years. Consumers are constantly engaging with new brands, products, and businesses through other forms of media besides your typical social media platforms. Since the start of the nationwide lockdown in March of 2020, there has been a growth in the number of podcasts available online. So, we are going to dive into how podcasts can positively impact your business as well as a new app that has been making its way up the charts in the app store.

    Podcasts are a great way to engage with your customers on another level. Some people may not always have the time to browse through social media. That is when podcasts become appealing as it allows the user to play the podcast while they are going about their day. A podcast can be a great way for your customers to get further insight on who your company is. 1 in 3 people listen to podcasts and on average, people spend about 6 hours and 45 minutes a week listening to podcasts. Even if you or your company do not have the time or resources to have a podcast, a great alternative to that is to be featured as a guest to a podcast that is related to your industry. Podcasts are also the lowest in Ad skips of any digital media used. Less than 10% of users skip through the Ads given by the person speaking in the podcast. So, another alternative to being on a podcast, would be to purchase an Ad space on an already existing podcast.

    Another voice marketing method has recently created some buzz online. A new app called Clubhouse has been climbing the charts in the IOS app store. Clubhouse is an audio-based social media app where people can go from chatroom to chatroom and jump in on listening to people's live conversations. One key difference in Clubhouse from regular podcasts are that podcasts are pre-recorded and then uploaded. On Clubhouse, people begin a live chat at a moment's notice and begin chatting about the main topic of their conversation. Think of it as a zoom meeting but not being able to see them, most of the time everyone's cameras are turned off anyway! For now, the app is only available for IOS and not android users but will hopefully soon be available for all users. One downfall of the app currently, is that it is on an invite only basis for the time being. 

    Expanding your marketing efforts can help not only you break out of your comfort zone but help your clients go beyond their Facebook feed. Voice marketing could very well be just what you need to expand your business this year.

The ROI of Branded Merchandise: Why It Works for Every Business

Branded merchandise is a powerful marketing tool that offers a high return on investment (ROI). From increasing brand awareness to boosting customer loyalty and driving sales, promotional products deliver measurable results for businesses of all sizes. However, the modern consumer is highly discerning. Generic, low-quality "swag" often ends up straight in the trash, harming both your budget and your reputation. To unlock true ROI, promotional products must act as a seamless extension of your brand values and directly serve your specific audience. Here is how promotional products drive business value, and how to strategically select items that stick. 1. Boosts Brand Awareness Promotional products keep your brand visible. Custom items act as walking advertisements, but only if they leave the drawer. The secret to impressions is everyday utility. The Data: 83% of people like receiving promotional products, and 87% recall the brand on items they’ve received in the past 2 years. T...

Give Them Something to Remember You By: From Brand Experience to Brand Recall

Digital ad fatigue is real. Rising costs, saturated social feeds, and banner blindness have made it increasingly difficult for brands to earn and hold attention online. As consumers become more selective about what they engage with, success lies with brands that adapt and look for ways to create connections that feel more personal, memorable, and real. That gap is where experiential marketing comes in. Pop-up shops, live activations, interactive events, and immersive brand experiences give audiences something digital advertising often can’t: the opportunity to participate. Instead of simply seeing a brand, people can interact with it, talk about it, and associate it with a real-world experience. But even the best experience has a limitation: it eventually ends.   Why Experiences Drive Action Experiential marketing works because it turns passive audiences into active participants. Instead of asking consumers to stop scrolling and pay attention, it gives them a reason to ...
