Keep Asking: How’d You Hear About Us?

​“How’d you get here?!”

​How are your clients finding you? Do you know? Like REALLY know (not just guessing)? Many business owners don’t and it’s one of the most important things you should know.

Here’s why you need to know …

​If you’re like … well, everyone else … you’re probably switching from print advertising to digital advertising to help people find your business. As you make that switch, you need to keep your eye on your bottom line, but you also need to make sure your clients are responding to new mediums. This is especially important for businesses in smaller towns where print might still be necessary to help you reach specific demographics. You may find yourself moving back to some forms of print advertising to hit a niche audience and then using more affordable digital advertising to hit the others.

​Here’s how to start collecting the info …

Ask clients how they heard about you the first time they contact you. Some people have a survey form. Some people ask before getting off the phone. Do what works for your business. As you gather this feedback from clients, start sorting the responses into two categories: Free and Paid.

Free
Examples include …
  • Word-of-mouth
  • Networking
  • Church
  • Google organic search

Paid
Examples include …
  • Facebook ads
  • Phone book
  • Google paid ads

Here’s how you take it to the next level …

Once you’ve started collecting responses and have categorized them, it’s time to start looking more closely at your list. How can you capitalize on each item in the list?

For example, do you have some customers coming by through word-of-mouth? Ask yourself …
  • How can you get even more coming in through word-of-mouth?
  • Should you look at asking for Facebook reviews and Google reviews?
  • Should you start a reward points system for referrals? Hint: giving rewards points for referrals is MUCH less expensive than other forms of advertising!

While you’re looking at the paid category, ask yourself …
  • Which is bringing in the most customers?
  • Which is bringing in the BEST customers? (Sometimes you have to pay more for those, but it’s worth it.)
  • Which is the most expensive?

Now that you’re collecting responses and observing results you can start making small tweaks and changes to how you advertise. First, see how you can capitalize on the items in the “Free” category. Then start moving your budget around so you’re spending more money on the most successful items in the “Paid” category and decreasing your spending on the least successful.

Good luck and have fun! As always, if you need help you can contact me any time at ashley@akwerner.com.

​Having a hard time finding that PERFECT emoji? Don’t laugh! This is a real thing for us digital marketers!

​Not using emojis? 😲 You should be!

Emojis are a fun way to help you quickly – and most importantly, visually – tell your story online. You might argue … “Wait, wait, wait, this just feels so unprofessional. I’m supposed to be a refined expert.” It’s a great argument! But here’s another way to look at it: this is for social media where you’re having engaging conversations and showing that your business has a personal side, this is not for your website. AND you actually look behind the times and dated if you’re not using them. (Yes, it’s true. EVERYBODY IS DOING IT.) Obviously don’t go overboard with it … i.e., don’t replace all of your text with emojis just to take advantage of a trend – do what’s right for your audience.

Give it a shot! Utilize the stopping-power of an emoji to help your post get more views. Go to http://emojipedia.org/ and start searching. No more scrolling through tiny emojis and wishing you could find them on a desktop. Just search, copy and paste.

BONUS: You can even hashtag emojis now! #⏲️ 

Sounds silly but it’s a great resource! ☺️
