An Unusual Career Path…
We all make plans, we all laugh, then life happens.
Newspapers …. I got my professional start in advertising as a newspaper ad sales rep for the Branding Iron, the school newspaper, while I was at the University of Wyoming. I went door-to-door to the local shops talking to shop owners or calling them to see about placing ads in our publication. (draft…)
The question people asked was always “does it work.”
That same question could apply to anything today. The difference with most digital marketing items such as Facebook ads is the data. Does it work? Let's look at the data!
The other piece of marketing is creative: the images and the copy that show those right people at the right time why your product or service is the right thing for them.
Good marketing is an experience for your customer that will take them on a journey from the problem they are experiencing to the solution that your product or service will provide for them. I'm here to help you do that
Adaptability is my superpower.
In an ever-changing digital environment, this is an important trait to have. Whatever update is next, I’ll have a plan so we can be ready for it together. As a Navy Wife, Mother, and Marketer, I’ve been honing this skill for years!
Taking an empathetic approach to data-focused marketing.
Good marketing is all about getting the right product or service in front of the right people at the right time.
However, this is easier said than done.
My first lesson in marketing started at about 10 in the Girl Scouts. There were many learning lessons from selling cookies, but the most significant that I still remember today were:
1) Go talk to people about it. Even a product as good as Girl Scout cookies don’t just sell themselves. (Well, sometimes they do, that’s the power of good branding and a consistent product.) As soon as you get that order form, just go start asking people. When you set up at a store, stand out front and ask.
2) Always stand by the exit, NOT the entrance. When people are first walking in, they are running through the list of items they need, possibly still stressed from traffic and finding parking, and often in a hurry. However, on the way out they have just completed the task, and generally calmer and happier, and often still have their wallets out, or have been able to prepare ahead of time to get cashback - they are in a much better buying mood. (p.s. always know where to point out an ATM).
3) Choose your wording carefully. When I first started, I asked people if they would like to buy some Girl Scout Cookies. The word “buy” seemed to through up an automatic reflex and a no, that people would often take a few paces, stop, and turn when they realized it was cookies. So, I switched to: “Would you like to get some Girl Scout Cookies?” and yes, the occasional person would ask if they were free (see #4 btw) but did not cause that same reaction as often.
4) Give out samples, especially of new flavors. Take some money, buy some boxes, and set up some samples. Everyone loves to try something new, and it’s a good way to get people to stop and take a taste. With new flavors, it helped promote them more, when there were often several extra boxes left over otherwise. Bonus, usually once people start munching - they want to get more!
5) Location & Timing Matters. We picked grocery stores in ski towns towards the bottom of the slopes around closing time. People came of the slopes tired, hungry, and feeling good from all the exercise they just got. Best sales ever.
After being a top seller two years in a row and receiving all the prizes and getting an award on stage, I realized there was something to all this. The more fun I had, the better we did. And yes, there were nerves and jerks, but most people wanted to buy the products, and it was up to me the help them have fun doing it!
