All Systems Go Marketing, an SEO company founded in 2001, has published a blog post discussing the strategies that businesses can use to create video content that resonates with their audience and brings invaluable exposure in times of the pandemic.

Videos have always been a robust source of viewership for scores of businesses around the world. The ease of understanding information from a video ranks it high on the list of content that an audience chooses to consume. Since watching a video is a passive effort, often they attract more viewers than written content on some blogs. With the pandemic, content creators are moving to newer social media channels that favor short-form content. ASGM says that this is an untapped market that can be used to bring an audience to a business. Videos even have a possibility of going viral, resulting in a windfall of viewership that can be leveraged to educate a large market for a business’s products and services.

ASGM says that as companies are dealing with lockdowns all across the world, keeping the marketing machine running smoothly has become a challenge for many industries. In such a scenario, it is wise to turn to nontraditional methods of marketing in the hope of carving out a niche for oneself. The blog post published by ASGM says that businesses should focus on creating content that is effective, engaging, appealing, and high-quality. A notable challenge is the creation of such content despite remote work requirements. Depending on the scope and nature of the industry that the business is involved in, the location for shooting the video can be as simple as someone’s bedroom or the humble garage. ASGM says that instead, businesses should focus on some key aspects of the content to get the highest marketing return.

The first tenet of a well-produced video, according to ASGM, is to teach, demonstrate and attract an audience. The idea is to hook as many people in as possible with the core product or service that is being offered. The core appeal should be laid out as simply as possible. There should be a gentle introduction that encourages newer audiences while still providing enough useful information to those who are already well informed about the subject. This is a delicate balancing act that requires a deft hand. The production values do not have to be very high as a simple basic set up can still be inviting for those who are willing to learn more about the topic.

The second thing to remember is to educate the viewer about the business’s products or services. Often what prevents a potential customer from taking the leap with a new product or service is the intimidation of having to learn something new. When this initial learning curve is softened through content that comes directly from the horse’s mouth, it creates a kinship with the audience that compels them to loosen their purse strings. A well-informed consumer will keep coming back again and again. Creating high-quality educational content will also establish a business as an authority on the subject which will yield dividends multiple times over in the long run.

The last thing to keep in mind is to engage the audience and to answer their questions. Understanding a product as a creator is often taken for granted. One might overlook simple questions as being too trivial to explain. This creates a disconnect as some viewers might be left in limbo about the basics of the product. It is, therefore, necessary to open an honest conversation with the audience, listen to them, and change the course of the content being created based on the feedback. This is an ever-shifting process and will be effective in creating enormous goodwill with a brand’s core audience.

Unless you’ve been living under the rock, you've probably heard of the app TikTok. Even in this pandemic where most of the world's population has been under varying degrees of lockdown, TikTok has been making waves in the tech world, with the pandemic actually furthering its popularity. Despite the app being embroiled in a lot of controversies, with actual countries (e.g., India) banning its use in their territories and President Trump also threatening to stop its use in the USA, TikTok's popularity has not waned, if not gone stronger. To think that only a few years ago, it was a promising app, but not as huge as it is today. From 13 million videos being uploaded when it was still Musical.ly in 2014, the number of uploaded content pieces has dramatically increased with its user base growing by close to 800% today.

With millions of users uploading millions of videos every day and being seen by millions of other users who are in the app just to consume videos, it would be a mortal sin for online marketers to ignore the audience in this app and not use it to promote their businesses. Of course, the potential for advertising businesses in the app is huge, something that has not escaped the observation of various businesses who have actually found success in using the app for their online marketing efforts. Moreover, the app itself has realized this promising facet of its business, so much so that it has TikTok For Business, a platform for businesses to use exclusively for them to maximize the app for their marketing efforts.

So, now, the question is, should your business also jump on the TikTok bandwagon?

TikTok for Business: An Intro

Simply put, TikTok For Business is a sort of one-stop-shop for marketers to use the app as an advertising medium. By using this platform, there is no need to make a thorough, planned strategy as the platform will instead help business with going through the entire process, including the creation of ads, itemization of budgets, effectively reach target audiences, and interpretation of campaign data. So, the goal of TikTok for Business is to help businesses with the technical side of using the app so they can give more attention to creating more effective content. TikTok for Business makes all types of advertising available for businesses and depending on the data, businesses can then decide on which type or form they could use to be more effective in amassing a larger audience and engaging with them.

Apart from promoting a product or service, the hashtag challenge also gives customers a voice, an opportunity to express their views and emotions. Perhaps the biggest benefit is the connection that develops between the brand and its customer.

The Variety of Advertising Options in TikTok

You might think that advertising in TikTok is boring and does not offer a lot for business marketers since the platform pretty much only hosts videos. However, TikTom for Business encourages businesses to make these videos in five different formats, making the platform way more exciting than it seems to be. Businesses can roll out TopView ads, which appear once daily when users open their apps for the first time that day. There are also In-Feed ads that appear on the For You page of users, branded hashtags that businesses can use to generate content from the app’s users based on the hashtag they promote, brand takeovers wherein the app features only one brand daily and that business takes over everything -from top view ads to branded hashtags so users will only be exposed to that business the entire day, and  Branded Effects where 2D, 3D, or AR images of a business can be used and included into user’s TikTok videos.

In fact, with a little bit of hard work, determination, and knowledge about your target audience, you can easily start getting your brand name in front of the right people.

Is it right for your HVAC business, though?

With the app's current popularity with most businesses, it must be tempting to say the least for HVAC business to join the bandwagon and ride in the app's popularity to benefit them. Just don't forget that this decision ultimately depends on whether your business goals are in line with the benefits and outcomes you might reap from advertising on TikTok.

HVAC contractors who experiment with TikTok need to keep their posts light, Jacobs said. Quick instructional videos on topics such as tying a fish fly or cooking an easy recipe prove popular. Jacobs suggests doing something similar to promote an HVAC business.

The following article Does Marketing on TikTok Something You Should Consider? is available on http://www.allsystemsgomarketing.com/

via All Systems Go Marketing - Feed https://www.allsystemsgomarketing.com/digital-marketing/does-marketing-on-tiktok-something-you-should-consider

La Mesa, CA-based All Systems Go Marketing would like to reach out to the wider public to share insight on online marketing through one of their blog posts. The full article can be viewed here: https://www.allsystemsgomarketing.com/content-marketing/no-slacking-off-with-your-online-marketing-efforts.

Some companies may be thinking that they should put their digital marketing efforts on hold due to the negative effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. The world economy is in a downturn, but those who are capable of reading through the current situation know that this is actually the best time to double down on online marketing efforts. Everyone is staying inside their homes without much social interaction, and people are spending most of their time on the internet and social media. This makes the current situation an excellent opportunity to strengthen digital marketing and online advertising efforts. In general, All Systems Go explains that there are three major actions that all companies can take in order to make the most of this crisis.

First and foremost, businesses need to ascertain their target audience. Companies must be aware of their customers and ensure that their target audience knows who they are, where they can be found and how their products and services can be availed. This is especially true during these days where there is less business activity going on (since most brick and mortar stores are closed). Despite the overall drop in business operations, the current situation has also led to certain companies, such as those who sell products, online experiencing a boom. These businesses can use this sudden surge of sales that they are experiencing as an opportunity to ride the wave and extend their success. In order to do this, they need to ascertain which parts of the market are contributing to their increase in sales.

Companies benefit when people know about them. Ad campaigns on social media can be done even with small budgets, and they should prove to be effective. Companies can also get their name out there by undertaking small tasks, such as updating their blogs, posting on social media and launching email campaigns to raise brand awareness.

The next step companies can take is to convert potential customers to sure buyers. Not all businesses are experiencing a boom due to the current COVID-19 situation. In fact, many are facing a reduction in their daily operations. These businesses can take this opportunity to maximize conversions from the marketing efforts that they have launched in the past. They can study and assess the user journey of the targets of their marketing campaigns. They can check details such as where email campaign recipients stopped clicking and where the most fallouts occurred during previous UTM campaigns, for instance.

Businesses can then consider why their target audience stopped where they did and find opportunities to convert potential customers to sure buyers. It is crucial for businesses to understand whether their checkout process was a bit too slow, the buttons in emails for calling clients to action were not very compelling or the pages where the buttons led clients caused a loss of interest. Finding the parts of marketing campaigns where leaks and lost opportunities occurred can help companies improve their marketing efforts and lead to a higher conversion rate of potential customers.

Last but not least, business owners can focus on testing different marketing strategies to identify which one works best for their business. According to Business2Community, “Not only is testing beneficial to the whole world in determining who among us has the COVID-19 virus; it is also something that is very helpful in your online marketing efforts. As mentioned earlier, you may be losing conversions because your call-to-action buttons do not inspire much action. So, why not experiment on different call-to-action statements to be sent out to different people and see which among the statements gets more responses? Aside from call-to-actions, you may also do split tests on email subject lines, headlines, copy, images and even colors. You may do tests of your websites, email campaigns and even social media posts.”

All Systems Go Marketing, based in La Mesa, California, has taken the initiative to advise the local community on how to stay active in digital marketing during the COVID-19 pandemic. The digital marketing agency, which has been active since 1999, chose to address this topic in a blog post published on their official website.

The post begins by addressing the current situation, stating that, “The business climate may be dire and will continue to be seemingly hopeless in the near future. With people advised to stay home and most brick and mortar businesses forced to close, the only wise and safe move for companies to do right now is exercise a lot of patience and wait for the situation to improve before emerging out of your safety zone and getting active in business again. But is this really the best way to go — to do nothing and wait it out?” The company acknowledges that, given the current situation, running a business physically is a difficult task. Instead of waiting it out however, the company recommends developing one’s digital marketing platform instead in order to take advantage of any opportunities that may emerge.

The agency states that, “There are some things in your digital marketing checklist that you may want to act on precisely because we’re in a crisis situation. Act on them now and take advantage of the opportunities that may emerge.” The first suggestion in the post is to redesign one’s website. A website audit can only do so much, and there may be many issues concerning a business website. If this is the situation, then the post recommends redesigning one’s website. To quote the post, “If you are thinking that a redesign would mean tweaking the aesthetic elements of your website, including the fonts, the background colors and the graphics, you are only scratching the surface.”

According to All Systems Go Marketing, a website redesign goes beyond the look of the website. One would need to consider the effectiveness of its various elements, such as the landing pages, call-to-action, the voice and the presence of too much text, among other aspects. One would also need to do a website redesign if the information on the site is not as current or relevant to the target audience. The links should still be functional, and the website needs to be easy to navigate. Just like one would regularly update social media channels to stay current, a business website too must be updated in the same manner.

The second suggestion is to go back to content marketing. The post elaborates that, “In these uncertain times, everyone is worrying, especially your customers. If you don’t communicate with them effectively now, chances are they won’t really remember you when the situation improves.” The company recommends taking this opportunity to assure customers that they are not alone in struggling through the pandemic, and that one’s business is there to hopefully bring them happiness.

All Systems Go Marketing stresses the importance of being understanding, empathetic and to not fall into the temptation of overly pushing one’s products and services to their customer base. Overt marketing and sales effort during the pandemic will only leave a negative impression within the community. A business must make an effort to not be seen as an immoral or opportunistic company.

The post also suggests that one should focus on social media strategy. To quote the post, “There has never been a more obvious time for social media to assert its usefulness among businesses than in times of crisis, as we have been experiencing nowadays. Your social media assets are the most convenient platforms for you to provide your customers with updates and not lose touch with them.” It is always best to be prepared with a strategy to manage one’s social media tools. The post recommends planning the consistency of messaging, scheduling of posts and how one’s business should adapt with the changing lockdown and pandemic situations. To quote the company, “If you still want more ideas on what your digital marketing efforts can accomplish during this time, All Systems Go Marketing has your back.”

Since 1999, All Systems Go has focused on working for and partnering with small to mid-sized businesses. To quote the website, “Our goal is to provide accountable, high ROI Digital Marketing services that give you what you’re looking for — clients and deals.” The company’s methods are based on the latest Social Marketing research, proven search engine performance, algorithm analysis and real results. They work with clients that are strongly devoted to driving sales.

You may be reading this in December, which means you only have a few days to enjoy this dreadful year of 2020 before plunging on to a hopefully better new year of 2021. And with the coming of the new year comes new hopes and increased speculations that 2021 will be a return to a more active business environment. That means that you need to think of how you can reverse the losses you experienced in 2020 and advance your business with the new year. the question is, have you thought of marketing strategies and plans to elevate your business to the top or are you still reeling from the blows that 2020 has dealt to your business? Well, not to be a party pooper, but now's the best time to pick yourself up, dust yourself off, leave the pity party that is 2020, and move on to better things in 2021!

So, what's your online marketing strategy in 2021? You may realize that even in these uncertain times we live in due to the pandemic, you notice some businesses still killing it as their content has become viral, engaging consumers even if most of them are holed up in their homes, afraid that they might catch the virus if they step out and socially interact with the rest of the world. Take note though: These viral content products didn't just come out of thin air. They are products of careful planning, agile action, and timely decisions where everything aligned - the content, the goals of the company, its voice and tone, and the interests of the audience.

So, if you have decided that this coming year will be the year your business makes a splash with your online marketing efforts, consider three strategies that have proven themselves to be effective to a number of businesses that have implemented them in the past years. Take your pick from account-based marketing, collaboration, and turning your customer base into evangelists for your business.

Considering ABM

A high-impact marketing strategy you may consider is ABM or Account-Based Marketing. This marketing approach includes marketing initiatives and programs that are personalized and highly targeted to specific accounts for your business to grow. When you implement ABM, you must treat every client or account as an individual. Thus, marketing to each accordingly will be different - no approach is the name to every individual.  The content that you use for one potential client is different from another potential client. Challenging, yes. Rewarding, yes as well. Your potential clients may feel that you really know their individual needs and concerns, so your efforts will likely put you in their favor. Measuring the success of ABM strategies can be a bigger challenge, though.

Why is measuring ABM proving to be so difficult for firms? In part, it could be due to an over-reliance on lead-based metrics making it difficult to measure the effectiveness of an account-based approach.

Marketing-qualified leads (MQLs) was found to be the second most common metric tracked in this year’s study (revenue was #1). Only 29 percent of firms are measuring Marketing-qualified accounts (MQAs), and the vast majority (57 percent) haven’t even started to measure.

Stop, Collaborate, Listen, and Win!

One of the lessons this pandemic has reminded businesses is that there is, indeed, strength in numbers. When your business finds a partner that you can collaborate with, try to milk it. The benefits of partner collaboration abound - you get a bigger audience with the expanded reach of your partner's. Moreover, costs can also be decreased because you are working with another entity that may be willing to invest financial resources for your collaborative efforts to bear fruit. Alas, a collaborator will also expose you not just to a new audience but also different perspectives and insights that you may not have considered when you were only working by yourself.

If you’re new to B2B channel partner marketing or your company is smaller, consider starting with a simpler partnership. If the partnership works out well, you can try moving up to a more involved agreement.

Use your users to spread the word

Making customers evangelists of your business is very impactful, as they will most likely lead you to more potential customers who will also spread the word about your business, and so on and so forth. To be successful in this marketing strategy, you need to be successful in three sections: attracting customers, engaging with them, and delighting them so much that they will shout the name of your business to the high heavens. If you are considering this strategy, remember to strengthen your customer service, don't leave your customers out in the cold, and provide them with an amazing product or service.

Unlike salespeople, brand evangelists have no self-serving reason to promote a brand. They’re not receiving a commission, and they’re not paid to advertise – They’re just passionate! Consequently, when a superfan shares the advantages of your brand, potential customers are more likely to seriously consider their recommendations.

HVAC Business Tuneup Guide Intro
A new year has arrived for everybody, including HVAC business owners. It's a good time to reflect, and tune up the ol' company engine. Is your company performing like a dragster, or running like a Yugo? The HVAC Tuneup Guide is a series, so we'll start here, with the origin.

Depending on where you live, you may have already been working from home for at least eight months now. With the cases of COVID19 skyrocketing every single day and the best-case scenario for the release of the vaccine still weeks away, it may be safe to conclude that we will still be spending the remaining weeks of 2020 and even the start of 2021 working in our pjs, in the comforts of home. If that is the case, then you may already be a master in the art of presenting anything and everything, from monthly reports to marketing pitches, right? Right?

Or maybe you are still finding this entire scenario ridiculous and long for the days when you can see your boss or your prospective client face-to-face when you are throwing some ideas to them on how to effectively market their businesses online. Do not worry though, because you may not be alone in that. So many marketers, especially those employed by agencies are more at home with the practice of wooing clients by pitching to them in person. Gone are the days of firm handshakes, casual small talk, and after meeting drinks with teammates when you get to sign your client (or get a yes from your boss). Now, everything has to be done online. Hopefully, you have already found your rhythm and gotten used to it. If not, here are some tips on acing virtual pitches that should result in equally satisfying results as when you are doing in-person pitches.

The prep work

As in when you are doing in-person marketing pitches, you need to do a lot, if not more prep work when presenting pitches virtually. You need to be comfortable with the tech-related aspects of your presentation, such as sharing your screen so that everybody will see your presentation deck, as well as with troubleshooting possible tech difficulties in a virtual meeting, such as poor video, no audio, video and audio not in sync, and choppy video or audio because of intermittent Internet connection.

of course, you also need to diligently prepare the pitch itself. Map out the portions where you will be sharing your screen, when you will need to see your audience (a must in your pitch's Q&A portion) and you need to determine the length of your pitch, obviously. There are a lot of behind-the-scenes action in virtual meetings and you cannot afford to have a bored audience who might get distracted by a family member, the antics of noisy neighbors, or even passing vehicles.

Finally, part of your preparation would be to know your audience intimately well. A lot of sensory cues are not readily available in virtual meetings, so you might miss changes in facial expression, uncomfortable noises because everybody is on mute, and body language. If you know your audience very well, you will be guided on how to roll out your pitch effectively.

Look at the demographics of where the person is likely to live, how much income she has, what her priorities are and what other types of products and services she is likely to be interested in. Knowing your customer allows you to create an online script and production that will make her feel connected to your business and likely to buy from you.

Practice

As with an in-person pitch, practice makes better pitches. Your pitch being a virtual one will be more of an advantage since you can record yourself rehearsing and the recording will be like the experience your audience will have on your actual presentation. In fact, do several recordings of your practice so that you can have a back-up of your actual pitch. That way, if things on your pitch day become a series of unfortunate events, then you have the option of just actually playing your recorded pitch. You can give yourself some peace of mind knowing you have a back-up when virtual sh*t hits the fan.

Plan to do more run-throughs with your team than you might for an in-person presentation. Not only does it take longer for everyone to feel comfortable with the technology, but you also want your team to be aware of what everyone ELSE on the team is planning to say.

Best practices on D-Day

On your actual pitch, make it a point to be as spontaneous and lively as possible. The format is already virtual, so the human interaction element of your pitch is already diminished. You don't want to treat your audience to an overly rehearsed pitch that may get into robotic and artificial territory.  The suggestion above of playing your rehearsal during your pitch is just for worst case scenarios involving technical failure. It is still best for you to pitch clearly and naturally and your audience deserves nothing less.

Create bullet points to help stay on track, but don’t read from a script because that can easily come across as flat and boring. Spinato tapes his notes higher than his computer screen’s camera so he can look up to reference them during a virtual pitch without appearing too scripted.

As a marketer or in some cases, the one-man team of your business, your life is bound to be hectic. Answering gazillions of emails, having to tend to customers, and toying on some ideas to generate leads do not cover even a quarter of the things that you need to do in the name of growing your business. Thank God we are already living in the digital age and thus, there are tools and technology that should aid us by making some of these tasks simpler. But then, because everybody knows about these tools already, expectations are heightened anew, especially that of customers who feel that their concerns need to be addressed the millisecond they communicate it to a customer service professional.

Such is the double-edged sword that marketing automation entails. The tools and technology mentioned above are part of marketing automation. For example, a website visitor setting up an account in your website gets to use your website and take advantage of your products of services immediately after successfully setting up that account. No need to visit your office! No need to email (or fax if you are stuck in the 1990s) membership forms! Everything is automatic!

But as mentioned earlier, the extensive use of marketing automation technology has also spoiled all of us in the worst way possible. We get paranoid if we don't receive a confirmation email of the purchase we finished 10 seconds ago. Were we duped? Did we visit a scam online shopping site? If we keep on hitting the unsubscribe button to an email, we don't want to receive anymore, why do we still keep on receiving emails from the same company? Has our email been hacked?

As a marketer, you need expert degree knowledge of marketing automation. After all, these tools are available to compliment your current marketing efforts.

The pros of marketing automation

With marketing automation, we save time. tedious tasks we try to avoid as marketers get done efficiently. This is especially true in gathering information on leads. Moreover, with marketing automation, we get to take care of those leads en masse while still making each and every lead feel as though we've personalized our customer care efforts.

Marketing automation makes it possible to improve your marketing. You can create several processes that allow you to pinpoint and develop your leads. The software has the capability to enable you to visualize the process sequence and adapt it where necessary to make it more efficient.

The forms of marketing automation

Marketing automation comes in many forms. There's the most common form, email marketing automation which removes routine tasks such as welcoming new customers (hi, thank you for creating an account on our website), purchase confirmation (you've bought five flower arrangements charged to your credit card), and re-engagement (hey, we missed you on our website for months, come visit us!) away from your to-do list as a marketer. There's also social media marketing automation, which marketers can use in a variety of tasks, from scheduling the release of content in their company's social media assets to giving automatic responses to users engaging with their chatbot after office hours. There's also advertising automation, which tails (or for lack of a better term, stalks) web users into reminding them of things they have searched on websites by releasing ads of those things in the new websites the stalked user has visited. There's also mobile marketing automation where customers receive SMS blasts in public places to "inform" them of sales and promotions near them. Finally, there's CRM automation that is heaven-sent for marketers as if practically does what marketers are supposed to do manually - from scoring leads to sending information of these prospects to the sales team.

A good CRM program will aggregate customer data in one convenient space (often referred to as the dashboard). Marketing team members can quickly access relevant customer data such as email addresses, phone numbers, location and other demographics. They can also see where a specific lead is currently at in the sales funnel, which allows the marketer to send out relevant marketing materials to guide that lead to conversion.

Should small businesses get into marketing automation?

Alas, the question for SME owners. Marketing automation that is done right unfortunately doesn't come cheap. If you have the budget, go ahead. If you don't, it is best you save up for it. Do not dabble into those free versions of marketing automation software that might do more harm than good for your business.

A marketing automation software is not only going to house your contacts in an organized fashion, but will also let you move them through the sales pipeline, from lead to customer. With a software like this, the process can be automated– the contact can be moving from stage to stage based on their clicking and opening behavior, you only need to be alerted when they have become a “hot” lead or opportunity so that you can follow up with them.

All Systems Go Marketing, a La Mesa, CA-based HVAC digital marketing services provider, has just posted a blog on their website regarding how heating and air service providers can take their SEO game plan to the next level. They know the right way to do this because they have been helping to make HVAC companies the marketing leader in their areas for several years now. They use SEO methods that adapt to the times and when combined with extensive social marketing research it enables them to design impactful digital marketing plans for their HVAC customers.

The company’s new blog post commenced by saying that every business knows exactly how important SEO is today because of the amount of time that people spend in front of their computers and looking at their smartphones and other gadgets. That’s why businesses have to find ways to use SEO to their advantage so they show up in internet searches before other HVAC customers in their area. All Systems Go Marketing’s goal is to help their heating and air customers show up on the first page of search providers such as Google and even better yet help them show up number one. The company can do this because they have over 20 years of experience in the field designing campaigns from bottom up.

It went on to say that few fields in the computer world change as often as search engine optimization. The blog also mentioned that at one point in time SEO was totally in the hands of content marketers but that has changed drastically. Now successful SEO game plans often fall under the site developer’s duties and the more tech-savvy individuals that they have working for them. This is something that started to come into play in 2017 when such things as machine learning that uses algorithms became more complex. That has resulted in SEO creation becoming more technical in nature than ever before.
