Marketing Tips 🌱

We often get asked “what’s the best digital marketing tips?” 🤔💭

That question has a million answers depending on the industry and nature of business. But as a general focus, the following would have to be our top digital marketing tips for business owners.

1. Optimise your website
For product and service based business having a functional and engaging website is so important. You can use a range of platforms like Wix, Wordpress, Shopify or Squarespace and host it for less than $30 a month. Many of these sites have the ability to upload a template so you get that designer feel for bootstrapping prices.

If your budget allows consider bringing on a copywriter or SEO specialist to optimise your website. They can also give you insight to improve your customer journey and increase user experience - leading to sales!

2. Set up your social media
Social media gets you into the digital world. If you’re not on socials your brand doesn’t exist. Consumer behaviour is changing and the need for social proof is growing in demand. By creating social proof you are also increasing brand loyalty with your customers.

3. Create more content
Now this is an important one and often pushed to the side for business owners. Creating content can vary depending on the platform and business needs but key ideas are emails, brand photography, updating website content, posting online just to name a few.

Winging it will not cut it if you want to build your business. Bit of a hard truth there?

This is the difference between working on your business proactively and reactively.

Many businesses operate with a reactive strategy. When a competitor innovates or does something to make themselves more attractive to the target audience, other businesses are left playing catch-up. Even with marketing or content creation rather than planning, thinking about your ideal customer and their journey, you just throw stuff together and hope for the best.

On the other hand, a proactive strategy takes time and planning in advance. Taking the time to understand your core values and unique selling point. Getting concrete on who your ideal client is and customising content to connect and solve their pain points. Not just with a post or email here or there, but a mapped out customer journey.

So how do you move to a more proactive strategy? Here are some steps:
1. Set the goals
2. Make sure you know your target market and niche
3. Create a plan of action based on the above

At Zanzibar Social we can assist with the development of a marketing plan, content creation and social media management. This allows you to focus what you love doing in your business.

Have you got an active email list? 📩

Hypothetically if the social media apocalypse happened or you lost access to ALL social media platforms, how would your audience find you? 🤔

It’s probs got you in a cold sweat right? You know it doesn’t have to be that way! Building a solid and engaged email list is critical and should be a must have in your digital marketing strategy 🌱

Here are our 3 top email campaigns also known as your new favourite employee:

1. Welcome Series 👋🏼
Not only do automated email campaigns net nearly 70% higher open rates than the typical email, when that email is an automated welcome message to new subscribers, your open rates only continue to grow. 

2. Onboarding emails 🚂
While welcome emails and onboarding emails often get clumped together in an automated welcome series, they’re two very different emails. What makes an onboarding email different from a welcome email is that these emails are intended to get your new subscribers started in the purchase process. Building the customer lifetime value

3. Re-engagement emails 📲
Re-engagement emails are automated emails that should be sent out to anyone who falls under your brand’s unique definition of “inactive.” Some subscribers just become inactive. However, before you write them off as a lost cause, you should be trying to re-engage them and encourage them to return.

Need help setting up your email campaign? Send us a DM with “EMAIL READY” to organise your complimentary discovery call and get 15% off our email marketing campaigns this week only (Ends Sunday 10th October)

5 steps for building a business that you love 🌱

1. Find your passion.
This is definitely easier said then done! If you don’t know exactly what you want but have a rough idea what you want to do a fun tip is to list all the things you love doing. Take your time, even a few days to brainstorm everything that comes to mind.

2. Problem Solve
Now on a seperate piece of paper begin to list our all problems that you could solve. Talk to friends and family, go on Facebook groups listen to what others want because they will be your audience. Link problems and your interests to create niches. For example you might like hairdressing and supporting mums. Baking and finding vegan alternatives. House plants and fun accessories.

3. Scale and Survey.
You can do this on paper or great a rocking excel document rank your niches. 5 being you are in love with the idea and super passionate and 1 that you’re not too interested in it.

4. Research.
Now you know you all the niches you like and thinking with a business mind. Take your top ideas and begin to research. Find out if the business you’re looking into has a profitable future, is there is a demand for it? Are people needing the service or product? Look for competition.

5. Find your USP
Find your unique selling point (USP) What makes you different to existing businesses in the market? How is your business going to stand out?

So yesterday I did something completely out of my comfort zone... I featured on a live TV interview 😱

Now for those who know me, I’m a chatter box and talk to anyone and everyone. But when it comes to public speaking and doing something new, I can get a little (ok a lot) nervy. When I had the opportunity to speak on I knew I needed to take on the chance to feature in the media and share our founding. From pitch to having my on the interview the whole process was stream less and easy.

My clients know how much I preach about PR exposure and getting your brand in the media, it was about time I took a page out of my own book!

For those interested in learning more about how I was featured, feel free to send me a DM or if you’re wanting to look into getting more PR exposure for you business send us an email and we can organise a free discovery call 🌱

Social media is a vital marketing channel for businesses of all sizes. The common question a few years ago, “why should our business use social media?”, is now being replaced with, “how can our business grow with social media marketing?”.
As a social media strategist, this makes me very excited. What doesn’t make me excited is how many businesses are still trying to market on social media without a documented strategy.

Social media strategy... what is it?
A social media strategy (also know as part of a digital strategy documents how a business or organization will plan, execute, and measure all social media marketing activities.

In this post, you will learn the 5 steps your business must take to create an effective social media marketing strategy.

1. Audit your current social presence
Out with the old in with the new, clear out everything that isn’t include with your current vision. This means archiving posts and giving your socials a facelift. Think new pictures, story highlights/cover page and a clear profile picture.
2. Document who your ideal customer is
Take some time to really hone in on who you’re serving, what problems they are having and how you can serve them.
3. Create your bio pitch
You’ve heard of an elevator pitch but what is your bio pitch? Essentially your Instagram bio but with limited characters how do you summaries who you are and what you do?
2. Create engaging and purposeful content
Content batching!! Get your content pillars down and create content around those core 5 topics (I’ll speak about this in a later post) I usually work or a 2-3 week period but even a week is good!
5. Plan, track, analyse and grow
Once you begin to plan your content, track what works and doesn’t, analyse what your customers are saying (or not saying) and tweak your content so you can grow your business’s online presence 🌱

Who else is a Monday content planner? For me Monday is a client social scheduling day, where I plan online content for the next 1-2 weeks.
