My Weekly News 2 You 😉

Goooooood Morning, awesome friend!

I can't believe it is Friday already!? First I want to thank all of you that wrote to me from last week, I appreciate each and every one of you. So how has your week been? Tell me the good, the bad or the ugly - I will answer all of you. 

First I want to start off with this weeks #FiveMinuteFriday session is about Does it Ever End? The chase, the ongoing attempt to attract new customers? Well, you’ve spent all your time, effort and money to define who you want to reach, they found you, like what you offer - they even show love through word-of-mouth marketing to friends and family, the only problem is, most of you are still doing it wrong. So watch the video, and let me explain…

As always I found some interesting reads; How to kick off your content marketing strategy and start a blog for your business, which is what I've been nagging about for a long time. Don't just focus on rented space (Facebook, Instagram etc) have your own home which you own and control. Then a useful article about SEO as a crucial part of your digital marketing strategy as well as an interesting snippet regarding cryptocurrency. I also added my own 2 cents of wisdom, with a short story on LinkedIn on how to bond with your customer, as well as the importance of finding the right tribe to help your business grow and thrive. 

To end things off with Creativity pick of the day: In a snarky and clever move, a new campaign from Burger King trolls McDonald's and its execs. As Ad Age's Jessica Wohl writes, "BK somewhat subtly points out, using photos pulled from real estate listings and articles about unnamed former executives, that they all had not only ornate yards but that those yards featured grills." Because even McDonald's execs love flame-grilling, which is how Burger King differentiates itself from its bigger rival. Read more by Ad Age's Jessica Wohl, and check it out here.

Why Finding the Right Tribe Will Help Your Business Thrive

As a marketer, you need to know how to find your tribe. Then, when you’ve found your tribe, you need to know how to trigger the desired response in them. Marketers need to understand what drives their tribe members and also what stops them.

Bonding With Your Customer Using Customer Journey Mapping

 The best brands use customer journey mapping to examine a customer’s mindset before, during and after a transaction. This is the only way to positively influence their behaviour.
