1️⃣ AI in Business: Embrace the power of AI. It won’t replace every aspect of your operations, but it’s a game-changer for marketing and lead generation. Feed it with the right data, understand its potential, and always double-check its outputs for accuracy.

2️⃣ Video Marketing: The future is visual. Video content is not just a trend; it’s a necessity. Consumers are leaning more towards video, and if you’re not on board, you risk falling behind. Prioritise short, engaging videos to capture attention. 🎥

3️⃣ Influencer Marketing: It’s not about the follower count but the engagement. Shifting from macro to micro-influencers means more authentic interactions and campaigns that truly resonate.🌟

4️⃣ UGC (User-Generated Content): Authenticity builds trust, and UGC is the epitome of authenticity. Not only is it more affordable than practices like influencer marketing and sponsorships, but it rapidly builds trust. UGC can come in various forms, from casual users to life-long customers and even employees. 📷

5️⃣ Google Ads: Precision is key. Google Ads allows you to target those actively seeking your offerings. Set up your campaigns right, and you’ll have a stream of potential customers heading your way.

6️⃣ SEO: SEO remains a potent tool for businesses. However, it’s essential to integrate it with other marketing strategies. Omni-channel marketing alone won’t cut it. With the rise of voice search, AI-driven optimisations, and personalised results, diversifying your approach is crucial.

7️⃣ Email Marketing: The classic tool with timeless potential. Everyone has an email, making it a direct line to your audience. Craft compelling campaigns that not only inform but also entice your subscribers to take action. 💌

8️⃣ Direct Mail & Traditional Marketing: I’ve personally tried and tested this method. For our coffee shop opening, we used flyers, and the results were incredible. Especially for local businesses, traditional marketing can offer unparalleled benefits. In a digital age, tangible marketing stands out and leaves a lasting impression.
