Challenge Day 1: Debrief Your 2022 Marketing

Social Slowdown: sustainable digital marketing for entrepreneurs

What do you need your marketing to do for you? What would a marketing victory look like?
Sample marketing objectives:

• Brand awareness
• Lead generation: list building, inquiries/discover consults, cold sales, etc.
• Lead qualification/sales
• Decrease churn
• Increase website traffic

Choose a primary and secondary marketing objective. For Love At First Search, these are ours:

• Primary: lead generation (measured in discovery calls for strategy sessions + sales for our group coaching program)
• Secondary: Brand awareness (measured in branded search traffic and colder referrals)

PROMPT: What worked in 2022 in your marketing to achieve these objectives?

• Quantitative data (if you have it): Google Analytics
• Qualitative data:
  • Where did your last 5 clients come from? Not sure, go ask them.
  • Shoot a quick broadcast to your email list to ask
  • Add a question on your intake form “how did you hear about …”
  • Ask on social media how people found out about you

PROMPT: How did you FEEL about your marketing tactics in 2022?
