Deep dives
Optimizing Emails for Deliverability
One key strategy for 2024 is to focus on optimizing emails for deliverability. This includes conducting email verifications to remove invalid or inactive email addresses, implementing email authentication protocols like BIMI (Brand Indicators for Message Identification), and testing email renderings across different email providers. By prioritizing email deliverability, businesses can ensure that their email campaigns reach the inbox and effectively engage with their audience.
Creating a Promotional Calendar and Leveraging Q5
Another important strategy is to create a promotional calendar, which helps businesses plan and execute their marketing campaigns effectively. Key dates, such as Black Friday and Q5 (December 25th to December 31st), should be marked in the calendar to maximize sales and engagement opportunities. Q5, in particular, presents a unique opportunity due to high social media usage and lower competition. By starting to plan and prepare for Q5 as early as September, businesses can position themselves for success and capture a significant portion of their next year's customers.
Using QR Codes and Real Covers for Increased Engagement
QR codes and real covers are simple yet effective tools to boost engagement on social media platforms. With the rise in QR code usage and increased familiarity due to the pandemic, businesses can incorporate QR codes in their marketing materials, especially on platforms like YouTube. This allows viewers to easily scan the code and access additional resources or relevant content. Additionally, optimizing real covers on Instagram by using eye-catching visuals and clear context can entice viewers to click and watch the content, driving higher engagement and viewership.
Stealing Competitor Traffic with a Playful Strategy
One playful strategy to steal competitor traffic is by using humor and social media engagement. By creating a campaign that playfully compares your brand or content to a competitor, you can generate buzz and attract attention. For example, encouraging social media users to tag you and your competitor, using a trending hashtag, and publicly proclaiming your brand as funnier or better can generate organic engagement and drive traffic to your brand. This strategy works best when executed in a light-hearted and playful manner that resonates with your target audience.
