Branding vs. Marketing: Finding Your Voice and Growing Your Impact

Fri, 24 Apr 2026 12:00:05 GMT

If you are leading a small business in Wooster, managing a non-profit in Akron, or overseeing an organization in Canton, you likely wear a dozen different hats. You are the visionary, the problem-solver, and the face of your enterprise. But when it comes to reaching your community, things can get a bit blurry. You know you need to be "out there," but should you focus on branding or digital marketing?

At Crossbridge, we understand the local landscape of Orrville and Mansfield because we live here too. We believe that for your business to thrive, you need to understand how branding and marketing work together to build a lasting reputation.

The Heart of Your Story: What is Branding?

Think of branding as your identity—it is who you are at your core. It’s the visual "handshake" you give the community. When we help our neighbors with branding and visual identity, we are helping you define your values, your personality, and your promise to your customers.

Branding is the foundation. It includes:

Logo Creation : Designing a mark that represents your mission.
Graphic Design : Creating a consistent look and feel across all materials.
Identity Building : Choosing the colors and fonts that tell your story.
Interior and Exterior Signage : Working with our partners at Troyer Signs to ensure your physical location looks as professional as your services.

Before you start digital advertising, you must know what you stand for. Branding ensures that when people see your name, they feel a sense of trust and recognition.

The Megaphone for Your Message: What is Marketing?

If branding is the "who," then digital marketing is the "how." Marketing is the set of tools you use to proclaim your message and find your target audience. It is the active process of reaching out to neighbors who need exactly what you offer.

To help you grow, Crossbridge provides a wide array of digital advertising solutions, including:

SEO (Search Engine Optimization) : Making sure people find you first when they search for services in their area.
Google Ads and Social Media Ads : Using local advertising to put your message in front of the right eyes at the right time.
Email Marketing : Staying fresh on the minds of your most loyal supporters.
Social Media Marketing : Engaging with your community where they already spend their time.
Website Creation and Maintenance: Building a digital home that is easy to navigate and always up to date.

Why You Need Both to Build a Reputation

We truly enjoy helping our neighbors in the North Eastern and Central Ohio area present themselves with confidence. However, marketing without branding is confusing—people might see your ad but won't know why they should trust you. Similarly, branding without marketing is quiet—you have a great story, but no one is hearing it.

This is where we step in. Crossbridge bridges that gap. We help you create branding and visual identity strategy that feels authentic and a digital marketing plan that gets results. Whether it is through content creation, print marketing via Orrville Printing, or high-tech SEO strategies, we are here to ensure your reputation in the community is as strong as the work you do.

Take the Next Step in Your Journey

You don't have to navigate the complex world of digital advertising and design alone. Your business or non-profit has a vital role to play in our local community, and we want to help you shine.

From Wooster to Mansfield, Akron to Canton, and all communities in between, Crossbridge is ready to help you proclaim your message. Let’s work together to build a presence that lasts.

Kickstart 2026: Why Integrated Cross-Channel SEO is the Key to Business Growth

Fri, 09 Jan 2026 13:00:30 GMT

Happy New Year! As we step into 2026, the team at Crossbridge is more excited than ever to help you reach your goals. The digital world changes quickly, and to succeed today, you need more than just a basic website. You need an integrated cross-channel SEO strategy that ensures your brand appears everywhere your customers are looking. In this new year, Crossbridge is ready to execute a powerful digital marketing strategy that will directly impact your business growth.

The Evolution of Modern Search

For years, people thought SEO services were only about ranking on the first page of Google. While Google remains important, consumer behavior has shifted. Today, they search for answers to their pain points on social media, YouTube, and they look for services through digital ads, and discover new brands through their email inboxes. They aren't just "Googling" anymore; they are searching and scrolling across multiple platforms at once.

If your marketing strategy only focuses on one platform, you are missing out on a massive audience. That is why Crossbridge implements your brand into multiple outreaches. We ensure your message is consistent and discoverable across your website copy, digital ads, social media channels, email marketing, and even your print collateral.

Precision Keyword Research Across Every Platform

One of the most valuable resources we provide is our suite of SEO tools for content optimization and keyword research. We don’t just find words that rank; we find the specific terms your target audience uses when they are ready to buy.

We utilize these high-value keywords throughout your entire marketing ecosystem. Whether we are writing your website copy, drafting advertising copy, or building an email campaign, we weave your target keywords into the fabric of your brand. This consistency tells search engines—and more importantly, your customers—that you are the authority in your field.

Protecting Your Brand Reputation and Message

At Crossbridge, we help you succeed by managing your brand message, your brand logo, and your brand reputation. When a customer sees your logo on a printed brochure, clicks a digital ad, and then lands on your website, the experience should be seamless.

Our SEO services go beyond the technical backend of a website. We look at the "human" side of search. By reaching your target audience where they are already searching or scrolling, we build trust. When your brand provides the answers to their problems on multiple platforms, your reputation grows, and your conversion rates follow.

Your Partner for an Optimized 2026

The new year is the perfect time to audit your current presence and decide where you want to go. Are you visible on the platforms your customers use most? Is your messaging unified across every channel? Crossbridge is here to make sure the answer is a resounding "yes."

By utilizing integrated cross-channel SEO, we remove the guesswork from your marketing. We use professional SEO tools for content optimization and keyword research to ensure that every piece of content we create—from a social media post to a long-form blog—serves the ultimate goal of growing your business.

Start Your Successful Year Today

Don’t leave your 2026 growth to chance. Allow Crossbridge to build and execute a marketing strategy that puts your brand in the spotlight. We offer the expertise and the tools necessary to reach your audience with precision and clarity.

Are you ready to see what professional SEO services and a unified brand message does for your bottom line? Contact Crossbridge today to schedule your 2026 strategy session and let’s start optimizing your business for its most successful year yet!

Custom Calendar Printing: The 2026 Marketing Strategy That Lasts All Year

A high-quality, full-color custom calendar serves as an impressive Christmas gift or New Year’s gift, providing continuous brand recognition and sincere customer appreciation.

The Strategic Value of a Printed Calendar

In a digital age, a physical, well-designed calendar holds a unique strategic value.

By providing this useful item, you secure a crucial touchpoint and position your brand front-of-mind every single day of 2026.

This is far more than a seasonal giveaway; it’s an active marketing strategy that guarantees your name, logo, and contact information are seen while simultaneously expressing genuine customer appreciation.

Print Design Services That Tell Your Unique Story

Creating a truly memorable calendar requires design excellence and high-quality production. Crossbridge offers comprehensive print design services tailored to ensure your calendar is not just a schedule, but a stunning visual asset.

Our integrated creative team manages every step:

Unique Photography: Our professional photographer excels at capturing unique, high-quality images. We can feature your facilities, products, community involvement, or custom scenes designed to complement each month and perfectly represent your brand's story.

Expert Graphic Design: Our designers create beautiful, custom seasonal graphics and layouts for every month's image. We ensure the final product is both aesthetically pleasing and aligned with your organizational tone.

Seamless Branding: We expertly integrate your logo, contact information, and key dates into the design. This maximizes brand recognition without sacrificing the calendar’s practical use.

Orrville Printing’s commitment to full-color, high-quality calendar printing ensures the final product is durable and reflects the professionalism of your organization.

The Ideal Gift for Brand Recognition

Presenting a custom calendar as a Christmas gift or New Year's gift maximizes its impact. This strategic timing ensures your gift is immediately put to use as clients plan for the year ahead, giving you a competitive advantage before the year even begins.

Responsive Web Development: Ensuring Your Website Works Flawlessly on Every Device

Fri, 05 Sep 2025 12:00:03 GMT

In today’s multi-device world, your website’s success hinges on its ability to adapt. At Crossbridge, we specialize in responsive web development. Our responsive web design is a crucial service that ensures your website provides a seamless experience for every user, on every device. As a professional responsive web design agency, we understand that your website's content must be easily viewable, and its functionality must be perfect, regardless of the screen size or dimensions it's seen on. Our developers are experts at making sure your site looks and feels flawless on computers, mobile devices, tablets, and more.

Why Responsive Web Design is Now a Necessity

Think about how you use the internet. You might check a website on your desktop at work, browse on your tablet at home, or quickly look up information on your smartphone. If a website forces you to zoom in, scroll horizontally, or deals with images that are too large to load, you'll likely leave. This user frustration leads to high bounce rates and lost opportunities.

A well-executed responsive web design strategy is what prevents this. It’s an approach to building websites that fluidly adjusts its layout, images, and content to fit the user’s screen. This professional standard ensures that your message and brand remain consistent and accessible, no matter the device.

Our Approach to Responsive Web Development

Our team of expert developers and designers goes beyond the basics to deliver a truly optimized website. We implement flexible grids, scalable images, and modern code that intelligently detects the user’s screen and dimension. This means your website is not simply a smaller version of its desktop self; it is a fully optimized, intuitive experience.

For our clients, this means that every image is clearly visible, every button is clickable, and all content is legible. We ensure that your website loads quickly on mobile connections, a critical factor for both user satisfaction and search engine rankings. We ensure that your websites are always built to the highest standard for optimal functionality on any platform.

The Business Advantage of Responsive Design

The benefits of responsive web design extend far beyond aesthetics. Google's mobile-first indexing prioritizes websites that are optimized for mobile devices, meaning a responsive site is essential for strong SEO performance. A positive user experience leads to higher engagement and, ultimately, more conversions. When your website is easy to use on a phone, potential customers are more likely to stay, browse, and take the action you want them to.

As a dedicated responsive web design agency, Crossbridge ensures your website is a powerful asset that works for you, everywhere. Our developers are committed to building a superior online experience that reflects the quality of your business.

Let Crossbridge ensure your website is optimized for every device. Contact us today to learn how our responsive web development can enhance your business's digital footprint and success.

The In-House Marketer vs. The Crossbridge Partnership: A Clearer Path to Success

Thu, 14 Aug 2025 12:00:04 GMT

For any business leader, the decision to hire an in-house marketer or partner with a marketing agency is a critical one. While an internal hire might seem like a straightforward solution, the reality is that the demands of modern SEO services, content creation, and comprehensive marketing often require a diverse range of skills. At Crossbridge, we offer a specialized team that acts as your dedicated marketing partner, a well-oiled machine ready to tackle your needs with precision and expertise.

The Challenge of a One-Person Team

Hiring an in-house marketing manager often means you get an individual with a single area of expertise. That person, while talented, may not be proficient in the various roles a full-service agency provides. You must also account for significant overhead costs, including recruitment fees, training, insurance, and benefits like vacation and parental leave. This single individual may also lack access to the cutting-edge technology and resources that a dedicated digital marketing agency uses daily, from advanced web design platforms to sophisticated marketing analytics software.

The average marketing manager in Ohio takes home around $80,000 a year, and that cost only covers one person with a limited skill set. When you need a multifaceted approach to grow your business, a single hire quickly becomes a bottleneck.

The Crossbridge Advantage: A Team of Specialists

Choosing Crossbridge gives you access to an entire team of specialists for a fraction of the cost. Our staff includes SEO experts, seasoned content creators, PPC gurus, and award-winning graphic designers. We also have project managers who keep everything molded together, ensuring a seamless and efficient process for you.

We offer fresh, neutral perspectives, providing suggestions based on expertise and experience across various industries, from e-commerce and retail to ministry-oriented clients. You get a neutral outlook that tells you what works in marketing and what does not. This scalability means you only pay for the services you need, allowing your budget to work harder and achieving a fast turnaround on your ROI. We operate with transparency—no hidden fees—and our team communicates with you at every step, allowing you to remain in full control of your business needs and outcomes.

A Clear Path to Measurable Success

Let's look at the numbers. Hiring a full-time marketing manager could cost upwards of $80,000 a year, yet they would still lack the diverse skills and resources of a full-service team. In contrast, a comprehensive Crossbridge package that includes Google Ads management, consistent content creation, and a thorough digital SEO audit might come in at a much lower cost annually. This allows you to deploy a highly effective strategy with a specialized team for a fraction of the price.

We don't just ask you to trust us; we offer measurable metrics so you can determine if our solutions are bringing your investment to fruition. We are not just your marketing agency; we are your partners in business. We are driven by what will bring you traffic, improved marketing, and higher conversions because when you succeed, so do we.

Let us bridge the gap between where you are and where you want to be. Let’s cross that bridge together. Contact us today for a consultation to dissect your goals and receive a proposal on how we can drive your business forward.

Integrated Cross Channel SEO: Blog, Video, and Social Synergy for Success

dgarman@crossbridgemarketing.com (David Garman) — Fri, 04 Jul 2025 17:07:04 GMT

In today's complex digital landscape, a marketing approach that’s pieced together simply won't cut it. For businesses seeking true online visibility and engagement, the power lies in integrated cross channel SEO: blog, video, and social synergy. At Crossbridge, we understand that effective SEO content optimization requires a collaborative strategy across all your digital assets. We bring together a variety of services to ensure your brand's message is cohesive, compelling, and reaches your target audience wherever they are.

The Power of a Unified Strategy

Individual marketing efforts are certainly valuable, but their true potential is unlocked when they work in harmony. Think of your digital presence as a symphony where each instrument plays a vital role. When your blog content, video production, and social media activity are strategically aligned and optimized for search engines, the impact is amplified.

Our SEO content optimization ensures that every piece of content, regardless of its format, is crafted with relevant keywords and valuable insights, making it discoverable and engaging.

Blog Services: Your Foundational Content Hub

Our blog services are central to your integrated cross channel SEO strategy. We provide optimal keywords, exposing readers to relevant topics, crafting informative and engaging posts that position you as an industry authority. This high-quality content not only educates readers about your services or products but also directly assists in search engine ranking. Each blog post becomes a valuable asset, drawing organic traffic to your website and serving as a rich source for other content formats.

Video Production: Captivating and Converting

Visual content increasingly dominates online consumption. Our video production services create dynamic and memorable experiences that complement your written content. These videos promote your services, illustrate complex topics, and increase traffic to your website. When optimized for search and integrated with your other channels, a compelling video serves as a powerful conversion tool, drawing customers deeper into your brand's story and offerings.

Social Media Synergy: Meeting Your Audience Where They Are

Your target audience scrolls through their social feeds daily, and our social media services meet them right there. We craft engaging posts that resonate with specific demographics, driving traffic back to your website, blog content, and video assets. This creates a powerful loop where social media amplifies your SEO-optimized content, and that content, in turn, provides value to your social followers. This continuous interaction is a key component of integrated cross channel SEO.

Achieving Marketing Success Through Synergy

Crossbridge goes beyond individual service offerings. We orchestrate these elements to achieve marketing success. By utilizing multiple platforms, relentless SEO content optimization, and precise keyword targeting, we ensure your message reaches customers effectively, driving conversions and fostering loyalty. This comprehensive, integrated approach opens up vast potential for your website to become a true hub for business growth.

Your marketing strategy expands for greater impacts with email marketing, print services, graphic design, website revisions, and so much more. We are your all-in-one destination for marketing success.

Crossbridge’s Custom Graphic Design Services: How Color Psychology Impacts Your Marketing

dgarman@crossbridgemarketing.com (David Garman) — Fri, 06 Jun 2025 16:56:19 GMT

In the vibrant world of marketing, color is a powerful psychological tool. For businesses seeking custom graphic design services for marketing materials, understanding the impact of color is non-negotiable. At Crossbridge Marketing, we dive deep into the psychology of color to craft visually compelling brands that resonate. Choosing the right colors for your brand is a strategic decision that directly influences perception, emotion, and ultimately, consumer behavior. In fact, studies suggest that upwards of 85% of consumers choose a product based on color alone.

Color and Emotion: A Direct Connection

Color evokes power, emotion, and trust, fundamentally influencing how your brand is perceived. Consider the emotional responses these different colors typically trigger:

Blue: Often used by graphic design companies specializing in branding, blue is a popular choice for initiating feelings of calmness, trust, and reliability. Think of banks or tech companies.

Red: This bold color evokes feelings of urgency, power, and even hunger. It's frequently seen in sales and food industries for its ability to grab attention.

Black: Denoting sophistication, luxury, and wealth, black is a classic choice for high-end brands.

Green: Promoting nature, earthy feelings, and eco-friendliness, green is a natural fit for environmental or health-conscious brands.

Yellow: This primary color is associated with happiness, sunshine, warmth, and can add notes of youthfulness to your brand’s message.

Orange: Providing feelings of excitement and confidence, orange adds an energetic and warm feeling to your brand.

Magenta: This inspiring choice allows your brand to stand out. It is a positive color allowing you to evoke feelings of hope, creativity, and kindness. It can send a message of femininity, uniqueness, and youthfulness.

Analyzing your audience, their emotions, and the specific niche of your products or services is crucial to understanding which colors will best communicate your message. Our graphic designers will help you determine which colors are best for your brand.

Crafting Harmonious Color Schemes

Beyond individual color meanings, how colors interact creates specific feelings with your customers. Understanding harmonious color schemes is key to building a cohesive brand palette:

Complementary Colors: Opposites on the color wheel (e.g., blue and orange), they create high contrast and vibrancy, often used for emphasis.

Analogous Colors: Adjacent colors on the color wheel (e.g., blues and greens), they offer a serene and harmonious feel.

Triadic Colors: Colors that form a triangle on the color wheel (e.g., red, yellow, blue), providing a vibrant and balanced contrast.

When choosing a color palette for your business's marketing, consider what you sell and who you are promoting your products to. This will help you determine the colors that work best for you. Choosing a primary color that will take up most of your brand logo/image, then selecting secondary colors, will assist in developing your business color palette.

As Josh Davis, one of our expert Graphic Designers here at Crossbridge, states: “When choosing a color scheme, I always tell clients to think beyond personal taste — consider your audience, the emotional tone you want to set, and the context your brand will live in. Color isn’t just decoration; it’s a key element of design that communicates mood, trust, and intention at a glance.”

Crossbridge Marketing and our graphic design team are experts in developing a unique and successful brand for our clients. We utilize colors that speak your language and effectively promote your business. For professional logo design services and all your custom graphic design services for marketing materials, partner with Crossbridge.

We are your graphic design company specializing in branding that understands the true impact of color psychology in marketing. We succeed when you succeed.

Understanding Marketing vs. Advertising: Crossbridge’s Strategic Solutions

Thu, 17 Apr 2025 16:50:11 GMT

For small business owners and non-profit organization members, understanding the difference between marketing and advertising is crucial for effective outreach and growth. While often used interchangeably, these terms represent distinct but interconnected concepts. Both are essential, and knowing how to use them effectively can significantly impact your success in reaching your goals. Let's break it down in simple terms.

What is Marketing?

Marketing is the broader picture. It's the overall process of creating, communicating, and delivering value to your customers. Think of it as the strategy and plan for getting your message to your audience. Marketing involves:

Market Research: Understanding your target audience, their needs, and your competition.
Branding: Developing your organization's identity, including your logo, messaging, and values.
Product/Service Development: Creating offerings that meet the needs of your target audience.
Pricing: Determining the optimal price for your products or services.
Distribution: Figuring out how to get your offerings to your customers.
Customer Relationship Management (CRM): Building and maintaining relationships with your customers.

Digital Marketing Services are a key part of modern marketing. This includes using online channels like websites, social media, and email to reach your audience.

What is Advertising?

Advertising is a component of marketing. It's the paid promotion of your products, services, or organization to a specific audience. Advertising is a way to get your message in front of your ideal customer. It's a specific tool within your marketing plan. Examples of advertising include:

Internet Advertising : Paid ads on search engines (like Google Ads) and social media platforms.
Print ads in newspapers or magazines.
Radio and television commercials.
Online banner ads.

How Marketing and Advertising Work Together

Marketing sets the stage, and advertising operates for you on that stage. Your marketing plan guides your advertising efforts. For example, your marketing strategy might identify your target audience and your key messaging. Your advertising then uses that information to create effective ads that reach that audience and deliver that message.

Using Marketing and Advertising for Your Goals

Both marketing and advertising are essential for success. Effective marketing builds a strong foundation, while effective advertising drives awareness and action. For small businesses and non-profits, a well-defined marketing plan combined with strategic advertising can:

Reach a wider audience.
Increase awareness of your organization.
Drive engagement and support.
Increase conversions
Ultimately, achieve your goals.

"Hey Google, Find Me a..." - Voice Search Optimization for Your Website

katie@crossbridgemarketing.com (Katie Schupp) — Fri, 14 Feb 2025 17:00:01 GMT

Have you ever searched for something online using just your voice? With the rise of smart speakers, virtual assistants, and voice-activated search on our phones, voice search optimization is no longer a futuristic concept – it's a must-have for businesses that want to stay ahead of the curve. At Crossbridge, we help you optimize your website for voice search, ensuring your business is found wherever, however, and whenever your audience is searching.

Why is Voice Search Optimization Important?

Voice search is changing the way people find information online. Instead of typing keywords into a search bar, people are now using natural language and conversational phrases to ask questions and find what they need. This shift in search behavior requires a new approach to SEO.

Here's why voice search optimization matters:

Growing Popularity: More and more people are using voice search every day.
Mobile-First Indexing: Google prioritizes mobile-friendly websites, and voice search is primarily conducted on mobile devices.
Featured Snippets: Voice search often pulls answers from "featured snippets" at the top of search results, making it crucial to optimize your content for these coveted spots.
Local Search Dominance: Voice search is often used for "near me" searches, making local SEO even more critical.

How Crossbridge Optimizes Your Website for Voice Search

Our team at Crossbridge understands the significance of voice search and implements strategies to ensure your website is easily discoverable by voice assistants:

Conversational Keyword Research: We identify the long-tail keywords and natural language phrases people use in voice search.
Content Optimization: We create content that answers common questions and provides valuable information in a conversational tone.
Schema Markup Implementation: We use schema markup to help search engines understand the context of your content, making it easier for them to deliver relevant results for voice search queries.
Mobile Optimization: We ensure your website is mobile-friendly and loads quickly, which is crucial for voice search rankings.
Local SEO: We optimize your Google My Business profile and other local citations to ensure your business appears in "near me" voice searches.

The Future of Search is Voice-Activated

Voice search is here to stay, and its influence will only continue to grow. By formulating your website for voice search optimization now, you're ensuring your business is visible to a growing audience and ready for the future of search.

Ready to embrace the power of voice search? Contact Crossbridge today and let our SEO experts, content creators, and web developers help you optimize your website for voice-activated search, because when you win, so do we.

At Crossbridge, we believe in the transformative power of a well-told story. Let's explore how we weave compelling narratives that not only elevate brands but also forge deep connections with audiences.

Storytelling in Today's Digital World

Modern consumers crave authenticity. They don't just buy products; they buy stories, visions, and values. In this context, traditional sales pitches fall flat.

By understanding their aspirations, challenges, and needs, we tailor your brand's story to resonate deeply with them. The result? A narrative that's not just heard, but felt. And when your message is felt, your product or service is seriously considered for purchase.

Utilizing Modern Tools for Timeless Stories

In our digital arsenal, videography emerges as a powerful tool. Visual storytelling, when done right, can captivate an audience like no other. At Crossbridge, we harness the power of videography to convey your brand's narrative in a visually compelling manner. From concept to execution, we ensure every frame tells a part of your story.

But our storytelling doesn't stop at visuals. Through expert content creation, we weave narratives across blogs, articles, and other digital platforms. Rich in SEO keywords, the content we compose not only ranks high on search engines but also engages and informs readers, turning them into loyal brand advocates.

Measuring the Story's Impact

At Crossbridge, we believe in tangible results. While metrics like clicks, likes, and shares offer valuable insights, we delve deeper. We measure the success of our storytelling campaigns by the depth of connection they foster with the audience. Feedback plays a crucial role here. By continuously gathering audience insights, we refine and evolve our strategies, ensuring your brand's story remains impactful and relevant.

Conclusion

Storytelling is an art, and at Crossbridge, we've mastered it. In the ever-evolving digital marketing landscape, we stand out by crafting narratives that resonate, inspire, and connect.

Mon, 03 Jul 2023 12:17:01 GMT

Effective Content Marketing Strategies for SME's in 2023

The digital age is expanding like a latex balloon that keeps taking on air. The only difference is that the digital age is not expected to pop from its inability to hold more air. It can inflate with more advances in technology. For small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) this is a unique opportunity to leverage the expanding digital age for business growth.

Content marketing is one of many ways a SME can extend their brand awareness and enlarge their target audience. The following will outline how Crossbridge can assist a SME in doing just that.

GETTING STARTED WITH CONTENT MARKETING

Every business, regardless of size, strives to grow and be on top of the competition. Aligning your marketing strategies with available digital trends is essential in markets today. Crossbridge’s experts in digital marketing can escort you through this process. Whether it’s through videos highlighting your services, or blog posts that educate your audience, or social media posts that captivate your followers, we have you covered. These content marketing tools enable you to reach that growth efficiently and effectively.

Crossbridge will help you establish the goals and mission of your content marketing, define your target audience, increase brand awareness, and determine your desired objectives. To grow your business, your content marketing must be of high quality, relevant, and consistent with your audience.

WHAT IS CONTENT MARKETING?

Using digital avenues to create and share marketing material such as blogs, videos, podcasts, and posts on social media, indicate that you are engaging in content marketing. These tools promote your business and influence customers to recognize and remember you when it is time for them to purchase.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT

Customers today are continually ingesting information from their smartphones and other devices. Engaging those customers where they are will produce greater marketing results. Implementing your content marketing attention on various social media platforms also encourages brand recognition as customers may be actively involved on multiple platforms.

IMPORTANT KEYS IN CONTENT MARKETING

High quality content is an essential key. Your messaging must be relevant, engaging, and oriented to the particular platform it is appearing on. It can be humorous, professional, informative, but must be consistent. Images, videos, and podcasts must be fine tuned to meet the demands of multiple devices they will be viewed or heard on. Crossbridge will assist you in promoting content that is on point with your goals.

Your content must be optimized for search engine optimization (SEO). Developing copy that utilizes industry keywords to bump your website to the top of search engine rankings is extremely important as well. Our SEO professionals will assist you in making sure your content is rich in SEO.

Administering your quality content throughout a variety of social media platforms will increase your audience reach and expand your brand awareness. Analyze your previous social media presence so that you can concentrate on where your customers are and then give your marketing attention to those channels. Being sure to utilize best practices for each individual platform will also be key.

USE MULTIMEDIA IN CONTENT MARKETING

At Crossbridge, we have multiple layers of marketing professionals who will assist you in the use of multimedia content. Videos and captivating images from our videography/photography department can increase engagement, views, and attention. Blogs and articles from our writers can escalate your ranking with search engines, inform your audience, and place you in front of more potential customers. Infographics and more can compel your customers to see why you are the choice to purchase from.

SUCCESS STORY

Here is an excerpt from a recent case study review that Crossbridge facilitated for the Gish Barn.

The Crossbridge team got right to work by choosing organic keywords to strategically place on The Gish Barn website in an effort to optimize search results for potential customers. Such keywords included ‘barn wedding’, ‘barn venue Ohio’, and ‘barn for corporate events’. This step alone produced a 155+ ranking on organic keywords.

Crossbridge continued their work by engaging in content strategy and a website overhaul for The Gish Barn. The success of the project continued. Visitors, additionally, were submitting contact forms after landing on the site. These form submissions increased by more than 159%, going from 2 submitted forms a week to 5 a day! With The Gish Barn’s website overhauled and strategies put in place, the business saw significant improvements in their website traffic (exceeding 146%.). That is more than double the traffic that already existed on their site.

Your SME could be our next success story. Let Crossbridge bring your business into the digital age with strategic content marketing, support through website builds or overhauls, collaboration with online images, videos, and crafting messages to grow your brand recognition. Expanding your business will not “pop” into useless pieces of plastic. It will grow to industry moving advances with Crossbridge by your side.

Content Marketing 101: Crafting Content That Drives Results

Mon, 08 May 2023 12:28:40 GMT

Content marketing is an essential component of any successful digital marketing strategy.

It not only helps build brand awareness and credibility but also drives traffic and generates leads. In this blog post, we will discuss the fundamentals of content marketing and provide practical tips for crafting content that delivers results.

Define Your Target Audience

Before you begin creating content, you must first identify your target audience. Understanding their needs, preferences, and pain points will enable you to tailor your content to address their specific concerns and interests. This, in turn, will help you attract and retain the right audience for your brand.

Create a Content Marketing Strategy

Develop a comprehensive content marketing strategy that outlines your goals, target audience, content themes, and distribution channels. A well-planned strategy will not only provide a roadmap for your content creation efforts but also ensure that your content remains consistent and cohesive across all platforms.

Focus on Quality Over Quantity

While it may be tempting to publish as much content as possible, it is crucial to prioritize quality over quantity. High-quality content will not only engage and inform your audience but also position your brand as an industry expert. Invest time and resources into creating content that provides value to your audience and addresses their needs and concerns.

Utilize Different Content Formats

To keep your audience engaged and cater to different preferences, create content in various formats, such as blog posts, videos, infographics, podcasts, and ebooks. Experiment with different formats to determine which resonate best with your target audience and generate the most engagement.

Optimize Content for Search Engines (SEO)

Search engine optimization (SEO) is crucial for increasing the visibility of your content in search engine results. Conduct keyword research to identify relevant terms and phrases that your target audience is likely to search for. Incorporate these keywords naturally into your content, as well as in meta tags, headers, and URLs, to improve your content's search engine ranking.

Promote Your Content

Creating valuable content is only half the battle. To maximize your content's reach and impact, you must also actively promote it across various channels, such as social media, email newsletters, and guest blogging. Leverage your existing network and collaborate with industry influencers to amplify your content's visibility and reach a larger audience.

Measure Your Content's Performance

Tracking the performance of your content is essential for evaluating the effectiveness of your content marketing strategy. Use analytics tools to monitor key metrics such as page views, time spent on the page, and conversions. Analyze this data to identify trends, patterns, and areas for improvement, and adjust your strategy accordingly.

Conclusion

Content marketing is a powerful tool for building brand awareness, credibility, and trust, as well as driving traffic and generating leads. By following these best practices, you can create compelling content that resonates with your target audience and delivers tangible results for your business. Remember that content marketing is an ongoing process that requires consistency, creativity, and continuous improvement to achieve long-term success.

The Power of Storytelling in Marketing: How to Craft a Compelling Narrative for Your Brand

Tue, 25 Apr 2023 15:45:20 GMT

The Power of Storytelling in Marketing: How to Craft a Compelling Narrative for Your Brand

In the world of marketing, there are few tools as powerful as storytelling. As human beings, we are wired to respond to stories on a deep level – they have the ability to engage us emotionally, capture our attention, and remain in our memory long after we've heard them.

For brands, this means that storytelling can be a highly effective way to communicate your message, build your brand identity, and connect with your audience. Here are some tips for crafting a compelling narrative for your brand:

Start with your brand's core values and mission . What does your brand stand for, and what is its purpose? This will help you establish the foundation for your narrative.

Identify your target audience . Who are you trying to reach with your message, and what are their interests and concerns? This will help you tailor your story to resonate with your audience.

Use emotion to create a connection . People remember how you make them feel, so try to evoke an emotional response with your story. Whether it's joy, excitement, or empathy, emotions can help build a connection between your brand and your audience.

Keep it simple and focused . Your story should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, and it should be easy for your audience to follow. Don't try to cram excessive information into your narrative – instead, focus on one or two key points that you want to communicate.

Be authentic . Your story should be true to your brand and your values – don't try to invent a story that isn't grounded in reality. Authenticity is key to building trust with your audience.

Incorporating storytelling into your marketing strategy can be a powerful way to build your brand, connect with your audience, and stand out from the competition. By following these tips, you can craft a compelling narrative that resonates with your target audience and helps your brand achieve its goals. Contact Crossbridge today to learn more.

Social media marketing is another strategy that businesses can use.

What is Organic SEO?

Mon, 09 Jan 2023 17:35:43 GMT

What is Organic SEO?

Organic search engine optimization (SEO) is the process of optimizing a website to improve its ranking in search engine results pages (SERPs) without using paid advertising. The goal of organic SEO is to increase the visibility and relevance of a website to users, which can lead to more traffic, higher conversion rates, and ultimately, more revenue. One of the key elements of organic SEO is keyword research. This involves identifying the words and phrases that users are searching for in relation to your products or services, and then incorporating those keywords into your website's content, meta tags, and other elements. This helps search engines understand what your website is about and increases the chances that it will be displayed in search results for those keywords.

Another important aspect of organic SEO is on-page optimization. This includes making sure that your website is well-organized and easy to navigate, has clear and concise content, and is properly formatted for both users and search engines. This can include things like optimizing title tags, meta descriptions, and header tags, as well as ensuring that images and videos are properly labeled, and that the website has a fast-loading speed.

Off-page SEO is also important for organic SEO. This includes building backlinks to your website from other sites, which can help increase its authority and visibility in search results. This can be done through link building, guest blogging, and other tactics.

Overall, organic SEO is an ongoing process that requires patience, persistence, and a deep understanding of how search engines work. There is no quick fix or magic solution, but by following best practices and staying up to date on the latest trends and algorithm updates, you can improve your website's organic search performance over time.

What business owner or service provider would not want more customers drawn to their website? Why not let Crossbridge provide your business with the SEO and website analysis to drive online traffic right up your lane just like they did for The Gish Barn.

The Gish Barn is an elegant rustic venue for weddings, special celebrations, and corporate events. They were seeking an increase of digital traffic to their website, the generating of more leads, and significant growth of their business. They chose Crossbridge to make this happen! With their goals defined, Crossbridge began a 14 week case study.

Crossbridge continued their work by engaging in content strategy and a website overhaul for The Gish Barn. The success of the project continued. The team began to build effective backlinks in an effort to increase website traffic and improve the site’s ranking. The top backlinks reached over 420 in that 14 week study. Increasing traffic to their website was beneficial but that was not all that The Gish Barn needed. Converting those visitors to customers was and is essential! Visitors, additionally, were submitting contact forms after landing on the site. These form submissions increased by more than 159%, going from 2 submitted forms a week to 5 a day! With The Gish Barn’s website overhauled and strategies put in place, the business saw significant improvements in their website traffic (exceeding 146%.). That is more than double the traffic that already existed on their site.

The case study results were clear. The Gish Barn’s goals for additional leads and traffic on their website, as well as a substantial growth of their business was, in fact, accomplished.

Let Crossbridge perform a digital audit of your online presence. They will optimize your search engine results, boost your website traffic and assist you in growing your business. You will not be disappointed!

How Do You Define Customer Experience

Tue, 06 Sep 2022 13:49:34 GMT

Your breath gives evidence of life in your body. It can be as simple as the droplets of water it contains to the presence of DNA which confounds those who study it. Comparably, the breath of any company can be seen in its customer experience.

So what is meant by customer experience and what advantages does it provide our company? As a business owner, these questions are absolutely essential. One corporate analytics firm defines customer experience as “...how your users or potential users receive and interact with every touchpoint of your business.” 1

First, let’s examine who those customers are (current or potential). Who belongs in our company’s target market? This is answered in ways such as analyzing who will benefit from our products or services, customer profiling, and collecting data from our competition. Once these and other steps have been performed, we will have an understanding of who our customer is.

Next, we need to evaluate the interaction with every breath of our company. The ways in which our company’s breath is received by customers is innumerable. These may include the way customers absorb our marketing campaign, how they navigate our mobile app, how they review us on sites such as YELP, as well as their returning to purchase our brand or service. These are only a few examples of how a customer interacts with our company. It is no longer just a survey at the end of a conversation with our customer service representatives. The customer experience is a complex web of details encompassing every employee and their contribution to our reputation as a company.

Finally, what advantages can positive customer experience contribute to our company? Walker Information Inc. a consulting firm, collected feedback from 550 CEO’s and 400 customer experience professionals and reported that “CEO’s overwhelmingly say the customer experience is the most effective way to create a competitive advantage. Companies that are most effective reap the benefits - they grow significantly faster than the market.” 2 This leaves little doubt as to the impact a healthy customer experience imparts on a company.

While biologists continue to research the code of DNA, seeking to solve the questions of human life, our company must remain unrelenting in the pursuit of superior customer experience; taking every step necessary by each customer experience professional to maintain a positive breath upon those current and potential customers.

What is Branding? 7 Reasons to Build A Strong Brand

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 12:00:09 GMT

What is branding? When most are asked that, the answer I get usually lines up with “a logo, a graphic element, or graphic brand guidelines.” While it is true that these are some components of branding, there is a lot more to it.

When thinking about your brand, you want to consider the entire customer experience. This is way more than just walking into the store and buying a product. The customer experience entails your logo, website, social media posts and engagements, and the way you treat or talk to your customers. To summarize, your brand is how your customer perceives you.

Before you spend a penny on advertising or marketing, you must have a dialed-in brand strategy. Many businesses make the mistake by advertising before building up their brand and brand experience. It’s like attempting to make a 4-hour road trip with no fuel. You can try, but you will not be successful.

Here’s 7 reasons why you need to focus on branding:

Promotes Recognition

When your brand is easy to recognize, people feel more at ease or more comfortable when buying your products. A great example of brand recognition is Apple. Their brand is so great, that it has gotten to the point where if you don't have an iPhone, you are considered "weird" by teenagers! Take the time to build some brand recognition strategies to help build customer loyalty, like Apple has.

Sets You Apart From Your Competition

In today’s market, it is important to have something unique about your brand that sets you apart from your competition. This is especially true if you are competing nationally or globally. The bigger the scale, the more reason you need to have a certain uniqueness to your brand.

Tells People About Your Business DNA

This goes hand in hand with your brand experience, ranging from using your website or talking on the phone to staff to the design elements on your logo. You must make sure that your brand story is uniform across all these points.

Strong Brands Produce Referrals

Think about this: what brand(s) do you like that you have told others about? That is an example of a strong brand. If it was not a strong brand, and if it was a weak brand, you wouldn’t even remember their name!

Your Brand Personifies You and Your Promise To Your Customers

Keep in mind that the essence of a brand is how the customer perceives you. Your brand, your staff, and everything tied to your brand, all represent you! Make sure to deliver on your promise and think about what they say about you and your promise.

Helps You Connect with Your Customers On An Emotional Level

95% of purchases are due to an emotional experience. Having a good brand will connect with people at that emotional level which will lead to them feeling good when they buy your product.

A Strong Brand Provides Value To Your Business

Strong branding can provide your business with more value than your physical assets. For example, think about Apple. Apple is worth much more than their products, factories, development, etc. Their brand is the centerpiece of why their value is so much greater than their physical value.

Conclusion

Brand strategy is built on a big, strong idea that your business has the capabilities to deliver upon. In this, you need to instill brand vision into everybody involved with your business. When everybody at every level of the business has the same vision for your business, it is easy to capitalize on your brand promise and develop brand loyalty (customer loyalty) from delivering your promise!

At Crossbridge, we have a full team of designers and writers ready to craft your brand story. We will help your brand be memorable, unique, and demand attention from the market! If you are ready to take the next step toward becoming a name people recognize, contact us here !

Part 1: First 5 Steps to Enhance UX on Your Website Design

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 11:44:27 GMT

Having a website is one of the most powerful assets you can have in your marketing arsenal. Almost every digital marketing strategy is designed to drive traffic to your website. From there, UX designers take over.

Any business channel or messaging will leave a lasting impression on the user – and this is especially true for websites. Obviously, user experience is the most important aspect of the website. For the site to convert, the UX design has to “click” with the correct target market.

What is User Experience (UX) Design?

From Wikipedia, user experience (UX) is how a user interacts with and experiences a product, system or service. Keep in mind, this is from a bird-eyes view. In the case of the website, UX design involves the content you produce to reach the user and click with them before they navigate their way to your products/services.

Actionable Steps To Improve Your UX Design

1) User Research - In UX designing, the question you need to consistently ask yourself is, “Who is it for?” Consider this as the UX design version of the target market in marketing. Consider things such as demographics, interests, behaviors, hobbies, family, jobs, etc. Spend some time figuring this out before even starting on the interface program.

2) Simple Design > Complex Design – Humans are drawn to simplicity. If anything gets too complicated, and the user has to search for (work hard to find) whatever it is they’re looking for. They will quit, and you lose a potential customer. Have a clean layout, uniform colors and fonts, and some white space.

3) A Generous Friend: Whitespace – Whitespace is the space between your elements – text, pictures, buttons, etc. A subtle amount of whitespace in your website design will make the design look polished. Too much or too little and your design will have no flow. Some ways to use white space include increasing line space in the text, increase white space in long text blocks on side margins, and group related subjects/objects together with the whitespace.

4) Make Sure Elements Are Distinctive – This is important to keep the user path flexible and have an engaging user experience. Make it easy for the user to navigate the page and find what they are looking for on your website. Otherwise, the user will get frustrated and have a bad experience.

A few tips to keep in mind during the design process:

- Make the most important details the most visible.

- Navigational tools to help the user be aware of their location.

- Strong, contrasted call-to-action (CTA) buttons

5) Get Customer Feedback – Do you want to run a successful business? Ask for feedback from your customers and listen to what they have to say. This goes for any aspect in your business, but it is especially true for user experience design.

A good way to do this in UX design is to set up a survey on your website for them to rate their experience. For example, you may ask questions like:

- What should we do to enhance your experience?

- What features would you like added in the future?

A good user experience design is compatible with both the user and your platform (in this case, your website). Lead the user to the material they need and make it easy by simplifying the design and deleting any unnecessary elements.

A business owner should go through any means necessary to have a website that has intuitive interactions and interfaces with the user. This allows the user to find and use the content on your site.

Crossbridge is a full-service marketing agency with a web development team full of innovative digital designers who specialize in UX, user interface (UI), and technical innovation. We have built custom websites and apps for a wide range of businesses by finding and streamlining the most optimized and amazing experience that turns a site visitor into a paying customer. If you would like to create a striking experience for your customers and create a profitable website/app, send us a message here and let’s talk!

What is Digital Marketing? (Learn The 7 Major Benefits)

Mon, 18 Jul 2022 12:00:03 GMT

Digital marketing is any form of marketing that is performed using electronic devices. Digital marketing channels include but aren’t limited to social media, email, PPC ads, SEO, and even apps. Digital marketing is applicable to any size or level of a business, targeting anybody at any point of the customer journey or any stage of the marketing funnel.

1. Focus your time and money on the prospects most likely to buy

Digital marketing gives you the capabilities of targeting a hyper-specific audience and send them super personalized messaging across the channels. Technology has developed to the point that we can now target based on behaviors and habits, not just age, location, and interests anymore (although, those are still available and effective).

2. Less costly than outbound marketing

Technology allows you to track the campaigns performance and make adjustments on the campaign depending on how it is performing. You can’t do this with print, billboards, commercial, or other channels of fixed advertising. You can change the budget; the creatives that aren’t performing well; even the attribution setting. All of a sudden, marketing is very affordable with this.

3. Evens the field in your industry and can allow smaller brands to compete with bigger brands

Big companies have so much more money to invest; millions of dollars compared to a smaller businesses thousands of dollars. In digital marketing, that doesn’t matter. A great example is search engines. Search engines rank content based on most relatable and trustworthy to the search, not what brand is the biggest or has the most money invested.

4. Measurable

You can measure any metric you’d like: impressions, engagements, views, clicks, conversions, etc. Digital marketing allows you to view results as they are in action. This is not possible with print or billboards. With those forms of marketing, you wait until after the marketing is done till you can view the results.

5. Easier to change and adapt a strategy

A huge benefit is being able to change something quick, or midway through a campaign, if the targeting or a certain setting was not right. It prevents you from having to completely start over from scratch and have a failed campaign.

For example, let’s say you are running an ad on Facebook and you included the wrong interest. You can go in and change the interest to the correct one quick and easy.

6. Can improve the conversion rate and lead quality

Optimizing your conversion rate is another huge benefit in digital marketing. This is due to how every metric is measurable. You can easily see the charts and therefore analyze what produces the desired results and what doesn’t.

The same can be said for lead quality. Being able to target a hyper-specific audience allows you to attract the exact leads you want which will be more likely to turn into customers.

7. Engage your audience at every awareness stage

You can follow the entire customer journey through digital marketing. It effectively allows you to push the prospect from one point to the next, when done right. And you can track them the whole way there, really allowing you to nail down what works for your business and your target market.

Digital marketing has been a game changer since the 90’s and will continue to evolve and get even better. When preparing for your next quarter and coming up with a marketing plan, considering digital marketing. It can change the pace of growth for your business and set a great foundation for the growth and profitability that you will see afterwards!

6 Winning Strategies to Drive Traffic to Your Website

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 14:19:53 GMT

“What can I do to drive traffic to my website?” This question has come to resonate with any business owner with a website. Over the last few years, having a website has become an essential piece of business. During the start of the pandemic in 2020, E-Commerce sales increased by 43% or $244.2 billion, compared to 2019 (according to census.gov ). In 2021, sales increased another 14%.

These statistics drive home the fact that E-commerce is a growing platform and will continue to do so as markets evolve deeper into technology. To be a thriving business at the top of the food-chain, you must have a website and you must be able to drive traffic to it. Here are 6 strategies you can implement to drive traffic to your website.

1. Local SEO

For every local small business, this is a staple that you must implement just to compete for a piece of the market share. SEO (Search Engine Optimization) is a set of techniques and practices used to improve the appearance and positioning of your domain when a related topic, word, phrase, etc. is searched. Some good beginning steps to take for local SEO include:

Properly Setting up Google My Business and making sure your social media pages are set up correctly as well.
Use Google Trends to research keyword trends for your business’s niche and location, then apply those keywords.
Monitor your positioning and appearance.

2. Content Creation

This is a form of inbound marketing, where the right people find YOU. Creating blogs is a great content marketing strategy for SEO, but there are some things to know before starting to write a blog. This will include: understanding your buyer persona or who you are writing for, conducting topic and SEO research, utilizing copywriting strategies to write the blog, then publishing and promoting the content.

3. Paid Advertising

Paid ads are effective at quickly driving traffic to your site. There are many different formats, options, and levels to running paid campaigns. Targeting and goal settings allow you to target who you want and encourage them to do what you’d like, from engaging with your post to buying your product/service.

4. Organic Social Media

If you are a retail or B2C business, you should always be posting on social media to stay in front of your followers. Utilizing new features are important here because many times when a platform creates them, they are built to help better the user experience for the user, which in turn, can help you create a better experience for your customers and followers.

Another important note here is to use the correct social media platforms based on your target market – if you are targeting young gamers, then you should be running ads on YouTube and Instagram, not Facebook.

5. Community Interaction

This is another important aspect to organic social media. When engaging with your community, you increase your brand recognition. Increasing your brand recognition leads to an increase in traffic to your website.

A great example of this is Wendy’s Twitter presence. They interact with their followers what seems to be every day. Whether it be in a genuine human interaction or fielding customer complaints, they are always engaged.

6. Email List Building

Email marketing is a great tool to utilize when posting a new blog or post. You can send an email to your email list and gain some traffic. Before you begin building a list, it is important to understand that this is an information transaction. You gain their email address, they gain a good user experience or content.

Places you may place these transactions include social media, a sign-up form on your website, or a content offer.

Driving traffic is a hard task that consists of many different strategies and paths. Try implementing these strategies and see which one works best for you! Keep in mind that certain strategies may take longer than others, but usually the longer-developing strategies are more profitable and efficient in the end.

Domain Listings Scam

Tue, 20 Jul 2021 15:33:10 GMT

Local Businesses Being Deceived...

It has been brought to our attention here at Crossbridge Marketing & Media that there is a company that goes by the name of Domain Listings LLC that is sending out mailers in the form of a "bill". These "bills" look quite convincing and if not read very closely, leads the reader to believe that if the amount is not paid that they will be losing their domain names. THIS IS NOT THE CASE AND THEY ARE BANKING ON PEOPLE NOT READING CLOSELY. All this company provides is a listing on their own website, in THEIR directory. You do not need to pay them to remain on Google or any other search engines.

The mailer reads: " This website listing offer is provided to leading websites throughout the United States to enhance their Website exposure and expose them to new customers through our directory. We are not a Domain Registrar and we do not Register or Renew Domain Names. The listing period is for 12 consecutive months and must be renewed annually if you wish to maintain your Domain listing and keep it active on our online website directory. THIS IS NOT A BILL. THIS IS A SOLICITATION. YOU ARE UNDER NO OBLIGATION TO PAY THE AMOUNT STATED ABOVE UNLESS YOU ACCEPT THIS OFFER. "

The mailer looks very official and could be intimidating to some folks who may not understand just what the letter is reading. Please make sure to read anything with an unfamiliar business name attached to it or anything that seems suspicious extremely carefully. When in doubt please feel free to contact us here at the office with any questions and we would be more than happy to answer them!

If you happen to have already received one of these mailers and was deceived by them, there is hope! On their website under their Legal section they say: "Refund requests made 30 days or less after the payment is sent will receive a 100% refund. Requests made after 30 days will be at the sole discretion of Domain Listings, LLC. If the refund is approved, a pro-rated refund will be returned for the remaining time of the active service. If a request is made more than 12 months after the payment was made, no refund will be granted. The refund check will be issued and in the mail within 3 to 5 business days after processing. " So the sooner you act the better your odds of getting back your full refund!

Marketing In Uncertain Times

rdixon@crossbridgemarketing.com (Rhianna Dixon ) — Fri, 21 May 2021 14:00:35 GMT

Marketing During Uncertain Times

Society has undergone many transformations throughout the course of history. In unsettling times, how we respond will greatly affect how successful we remain. History is full of examples of companies that have not only survived, but have thrived in the midst of uncertain times. Here are some tips to help your company be one of the thrivers!

Be Communicative

Communication – both within and without the company - is paramount. Communicate early and often as changes occur. We need to display comfort with improvisation in order to reduce fear and uncertainty. This will help build trust and momentum. Also to be noted, in the thick of the battle, “we are in this together” goes a long way. Never underestimate the simple power of human connection during a crisis.

Be Flexible

It may seem easier to let your company remain in autopilot when you are going through a time of uncertainty. However, that is precisely the time when you should stop and re-evaluate. If financial analysis requires budget reallocation, you may need to focus on retention of your core customer segments as opposed to customer acquisition. Evaluate short term needs, but keep an eye on the long term as well. If you maintain momentum and remain connected with your core customers, this will likely pay off down the road.

Be Relevant

Marketers need to understand changes in buying activity. This past year has created major shifts in how we do things. Do we know where to find our current customer base? Be sure to regularly re-evaluate; some things will ‘return to normal’ and other things will not. Are our offerings relevant to what our clients need at the moment? Are there any ways that we can pivot or shift – be it temporarily or permanently – to fill a need? We need to let our customers know that we have solutions for them, especially if they are new solutions. Being aware of where we are as a whole will help us stay relevant to clients’ needs.

Social media marketing

josiah@crossbridgemarketing.com (Josiah Martin) — Fri, 08 May 2020 13:52:03 GMT

As the ways we interact with one another continues to evolve, so too do our marketing methods. It has evolved from newspapers, to radio and magazines, then television was the key. As the turn of the century neared the internet became the key to success. As the internet evolves, we’ve experienced the rise of Social Media. Over the last 15-20 years the world has dramatically shifted. Through Social Media many of us share more of our lives online in face to face interactions. Why speak with the five or so people in your inner circle about last night’s gourmet meal, when you can instantly share pictures and comments to thousands (or millions)?

With so many posts involving food, children, pets and politics; the question facing most businesses is how can we grab consumer attention in a sea of competing products and messages? Whether you are brand new to the market or have been doing business for over 100 years, gaining (and keeping) consumer attention is essential for continued success and growth. While this seems like a painfully obvious axiom; judging consumer attention is not so simple.

Take for instance a small wholesale supplier of lightbulbs, everyone will need new lightbulbs eventually and you have many business clients who make regular purchases. Since the operation is small there are relatively few employees to manage the lightbulb store. Always busy trying to keep up with demand, the owner doesn’t realize when a few clients stop ordering regularly. She calls on these clients and discovers that they have switched to a national chain or another supplier who had reached out to them.

Social Media is one of the easiest ways to stay in front of clients. Social Media marketing maintains brand awareness with relatively minor effort. Sending out mailers is a great way to engage with clients and potential clients; however, it is very expensive and doesn’t automatically engage with a broader audience than the addressee. If you can get clients to like and share your posts, your audience for that post is everyone that client is connected to and everyone those connections share when they engage with your message. This not only fosters top of mind awareness; it also penetrates new markets by creating conversations with an interested audience.

Social Media marketing campaigns can be done for far less than the cost of a single mailer. The startling reality is that fully 85% of American businesses, both large and small, are either under-utilizing Social Media or not using it at all. Chances are your business is one of these, contact our marketing experts here at Crossbridge and learn how Social Media can bring you greater success.

What does successful marketing look like?

Thu, 07 May 2020 12:33:00 GMT

Discovering and leveraging the power of effective marketing.

You might have heard it said, “If you do everything everyone else does, you will get what everyone else gets.” As business owners and marketers, we want to stand out from the crowd to get our message across. The problem, however, is the marketplace is flooded with screaming vendors begging for attention. Converting the masses takes more than the usual shout, and pitch anymore. Yet, an ever-increasing mob of businesses use the exact same failed strategy. This begs the question, what does successful marketing look like?

To answer that we must first define the word, marketing. Merriam Webster defines marketing as: “The act or process of selling in a market; the process or technique of promoting, selling, and distributing a product or service.” This is what everyone thinks, but we are after something different. Regis McKenna defines it this way: “Marketing is everything!” This is more in keeping with what we are after, but too broad to be useful. Here is a definition I’ve come to like the best. “Marketing is getting someone who has a need, to know, like and trust you.” — Jon Jantsch (of Duct Tape Marketing fame).

From this final definition we see 4 components for making yourself heard…

• Identifying Your Customers (and their needs)

• Personal Connection

• Trust

• Likability

1. Identifying Your Customers

No marketing strategy can begin without the customer. After all, what good is your product or service if there is no one who will use said product or service? First step, is to engage with people, conduct your own market research. Talk to your sales team have them report what they have experienced in the field. What do their customers say about your products and what they would like to see different. Even if you are a startup or new business go out there and ask! Pretend you are a customer see what struggles they have in obtaining or using your product or service. How many steps does a customer have to take, until they can make a purchase?

There are several demographic indicators you can learn about your customers and use that information to better target them in future marketing material. For starters what is your target age group? Are your customers primarily male or female? What is your customer’s average annual income? You can learn a lot about your customers, including these questions, with a well-oiled social media presence.

Using social media effectively includes getting as many of your customers as possible to like your pages, share your posts, and leave good reviews. Employing an effective social media presence will help you generate leads, maintain the coveted “Top of Mind Awareness” status of successful companies and help you make multiple sales with your current customer base.

2. Personal Connection

Whether it’s junk mail in your mailbox or spam in your inbox, we have been conditioned to ignore form letters and sales flyers if there is nothing personal about them. It is human nature, that makes us tear open a letter from a friend and read it start to finish, while simply toss the cookie cutter sales flyers. Why? We do this because we crave connection and community, people who care about us and are interested and invested in our lives. Marketing materials that come across as pushy and canned will likely do little to create a connection and may turn potential companies off.

Very successful companies do not operate with cliché sales material that lacks a personal connection and fails to invite their potential customer into a group of people that care for them. They have found that making their customers feel cared for and respected leads to greater numbers of customers and higher dollar amounts per transaction.

Building on the knowledge of your customers your marketing material should be geared towards creating this personal connection. Whether it is mailer, sales slick, brochure, chat function on your site, a custom sales funnel or simply reaching out and talking one on one with sales leads using information you already possess; personal connections are the bridge that creates brand loyalty and keeps customers coming back again and again. They will also trust you with their family, friends and neighbors. Each personal connection you forge is a walking, talking ambassador for your brand.

3. Trust

Effective marketing can only begin with trust. This is one of the most difficult things to earn and the easiest thing to lose. Blazing ahead in the pursuit of the almighty dollar as fast as you can will alienate your clientele. According to Forbes.com, there are many startups redefining customer service in ways that larger businesses might be unable or unwilling to do and are thus taking large swaths of market share.

The fact is, people do not do business with companies they do not trust. Trust is not simply telling the truth; engaging with only facts does not engender trust all by itself. Trust is not just about objective facts it is also a feeling. By their very nature feelings are not quantifiable; however, they will inform how your customers view the facts you present. People need to feel that the facts they are hearing aren’t being presented in a deceptive way.

Creating a feeling of trust is easier said than done, but when you add the elements of identifying your customers and creating a personal connection with them. Your brand messaging also must be consistent and pervasive. What we mean by that, is having all your marketing line up with similar designs and similar messaging. This also means you need people to see your marketing efforts more than once. Ideally, the same person will see and review the same marketing advertisement no less than eight times. Research indicates eight is the magic number for a conversion. Trust both the feeling and the objective truth is found at this point and allows you to build a bridge to your customer.

4. Likeability

We buy from people we like. That is just a fact of life and the sooner your business understands that, the better. You know the type, there’s always that one guy (or gal) who can talk the birds out of the trees. They don’t seem to have trouble getting the yes from any client. Unfortunately, not every organization has someone like this, and your salesforce is considered lucky to even have one. The good news is, you don’t have to have someone like this working for you to grow likeability.

As mentioned before, creating a social media presence that is both effective and well managed can increase likeability. First, you get instant connections with your customers, if you share their good reviews and tag them in the responses, suddenly, you have a connection with their entire network. Many companies have used this strategy extremely well, catapulting their sales well past targets.

Personal touches will take your company to the next level. On average a happy customer or even a dissatisfied one will talk about their experience around 90 times over the course of a week*. The majority of people believe reviews from their friends and will be much more likely to buy from a company they recommend. Therefore, it is a necessity to get those positive reviews flowing into your site and social media. Rewarding loyal customers for their reviews should be high on your priority list. Another idea is providing or selling wearables, like hats, shirts, pens, keychains, mugs anything with your company logo.

Setting Yourself Apart

Using these components should inform your marketing efforts to be different than your competition. You can get a cookie cutter website and advertisements and still make profits. However, to be truly successful, your approach should be unique, custom and customer focused. When you choose a marketing strategy or a marketing company who will do it for you, make sure they know how to set you apart. There needs to be follow through and a concerted effort to make those connections.

There are more ways of getting your message out than ever before. Advertising is found on every medium you can think of, in fact, it cannot be avoided. Marketers have always utilized newspapers, radio and television; however, since the advent of the internet new channels of advertising have opened. Nearly every surface of the internet is plastered with ads of one kind or another. You can even find ads for popular products in video games and nearly every app on your smartphone. The advantage of digital advertising is undeniable, it is by far the easiest to see real time results of ad campaigns. It is also one of the most inexpensive.

So, is print advertising still relevant? Since you are reading this, you know my answer is a resounding YES! The ‘why’ it is still relevant is extremely telling and not altogether obvious. There are three main reasons why you should make print advertising part of your marketing campaigns: Legitimacy, Higher Level Interaction, and Call-to-Action.

Legitimacy:

The digital landscape is crowded. Without properly calibrated ads getting your message out digitally can be very difficult. There are many online tools that can help the do-it-yourself crowd, but unless you are particularly savvy crafting a compelling digital ad is very difficult. Studies show that people trust print ads more than online ads.

Not only are print ads the most trusted, they also get a boost in trust based on the publication in which they appear. So, if the you create an ad for a trusted newspaper or magazine you get a share of that trust because your ad is there. The reverse is unfortunately true for a lot of digital ads. Because there is so much phony information online, digital ads will suffer from the lack of credibility associated with that medium. You can read about the breakdown of trust here.

Higher Level Interaction:

While digital media still dominates our attention, most people make it a point to unplug occasionally. When they do unplug, they turn to print media for news, entertainment or distraction. Statistically speaking, readers are far more engaged in what they are consuming than when they are online. An online user tends to multitask often with multiple windows open and a television on in the background. Retention is much higher for print readers; they are much more focused on the publication they are reading and that means your ad gets increased attention as well.

Print has a tactile presence. You can hold it in your hand, write notes on it, and carry it with you. Tangible objects are harder to ignore than any other media, because they take up a physical presence that you must interact with; either to discard or investigate the company.

Call-to-Action:

As mentioned above, engagement is far higher with print than online. The exciting part is that since people trust print more and are more focused on what they are reading, it leads to conversions. This is not the same as driving past a billboard at 55 mph, while that kind of advertising has a purpose, you do not get the level of engagement described. Rather, this is newspaper or magazine ads, inserts, and in publication flyers. If someone saw your billboard on the way home, and an ad for your product or company on their Facebook feed they will be more likely to take a thoughtful look at your magazine ad. Keeping in front of your audience makes it more likely you will have meaningful interactions. Which means those interactions are more likely to turn into actual sales.

Adding print to your marketing strategy can produce some tremendous results. Keep in mind that relying on only one way of reaching your audience will limit your success. Contact Crossbridge or your marketing company of choice and ask about a comprehensive marketing strategy that will broaden your reach and ultimately create a deeper connection with customers.
