When I see new businesses start in the digital advertising world, I commonly find that they make one similar mistake:
They try to utilize all of the current advertising trends and hacks in their campaigns.
Advertising Trends Aren't All Bad
Don't get me wrong; advertising hacks are undoubtedly valuable tools to use.
The problem is that these businesses are using these digital advertising hacks as their foundation for marketing.
But here's the thing: While the nuances of advertising may change from time to time, the main pillars of marketing and advertising have stayed the same for decades.
Time Tested Principles As A Foundation
The classic book by Eugene Schwarz, "Breakthrough Advertising" was written in 1966.
While it may be a "vintage" read, the principles in that book are still valid today.
The 5 levels of awareness Schwarz writes about in his book are key components to every one of our clients campaigns.
We find that businesses that go straight to the latest advertising trends without applying these time tested principles have fleeting success.
So rather than trying to master the new and hip trends, it's important to master your fundamentals first.
When to ride the advertising trends wave
Advertising trends are simply just the latest and greatest tactics.
They're typically the latest and greatest because they work....for a time.
As a Social Advertising Agency, we of course use the latest and greatest tactics.
But only on top of the foundational principles that we use to craft out client strategies.
This way we can be sure that as tactics comes and go, the overall structure of our strategy can go the distance.
In today's digital age, a one-size-fits-all marketing strategy simply won't cut it.
To stay ahead of the competition and reach your audience effectively, you need to leverage the different stages of the customer journey with a multi-channel approach.
It's not just about reaching more people; it's about reaching the right people, at the right time, on the right channels with a message that resonates so you move people along the customer journey quickly and effectively.
