With 90 percent of all daily media interactions being screen-based, there are exciting opportunities for businesses to connect their brands online with new and current multi-screen customers. This presentation provides an overview of the ideas shared by three speakers during the small business forum in May 2014 about "How to Reach and Engage Your Multi-screen Customers." Presented by Cox Media Louisiana and LSBDC, the forum helped Lafayette small businesses answer the question, what is my marketing opportunity in a multi-screen world? Speakers and key takeaways: -Dan Russell, Mixpo director of cable partnerships: Consumers spend an average of nearly 10 hours a day on screen-based media. To reach and engage these multi-screen consumers, remember to be consistent, connected, considered and concise -Jeanne Hurlbert, PhD, MySurveyExpert.com CEO and consultant: One of the chief ways your business can achieve growth is by garnering evidence or “social proof” that you are better than your competitors. Use surveys to help gather proof in your organization and differentiate your company. -Stafford Kendall, Covalent Logic owner and Chief Strategist: When marketing your business through social media, use the elements of storytelling. Your brand should remain real, develop a theme, use your employees as characters and approach conflict as an opportunity to personally connect with your customers.

Getting Marketing ROI

3 key elements to marketing success

1. Proof of what you accomplish2. Industry surveys to reveal the 5 core problems

of your niche3. Relate these to your back-end data systems

and marketing

Method #1: Proof

“The Little Company That Could”

• Story of a tiny ecommerce business• Ramped up revenue with NO extra work• Ten days after product ships, automated link to survey

The Result?

• 10-15 testimonials a month • Data-- 95% satisfaction• Over 90% would recommend• Feedback keeps coming

The Big Guys Couldn’t

• $100-million company• Turnarounds• Almost NO proof• Why? • No system!

Suppose You Wanted a Consultant . . .

Consultant B• 100 testimonials• Statistical data: 98% are

satisfied, 90% would recommend

• 30 case studies

Consultant A• 10 testimonials• But. . .• Should I Believe?

Whom Would YOU Choose?

Your Competitors . . .

• Most of your competitors lack proof:• More than 80%, fewer than 10

testimonials• 60% have fewer than 5 case studies• Almost none have statistical data• Opportunity—differentiate!

Surveys Yield Proof

• Surveys provide the key to getting proof without time and expense

• 868 testimonials, with permission to use them, with our “testimonial generator”

• Accessible to everyone

Golden Digital Content!

• Permeate your marketing– appeal to people’s logic AND

emotions• But also use in CONTENT!

Sample Video Script

• How to Solve the Problem of XXXX• One of the big problems I see frequently is that people just don’t

know how to_______• SOLVING that problem can make all the difference in the world,

because it lets you ____• In fact, when I recently surveyed people whom I’ve taught to ______,

the results were amazing• One of those customers now gets HIRED to ____ for other people• Several of these people have gotten JOBS, based on their ______

And Then . . .

• They took whole course, but I want to show you 3 mistakes people make and 3 things you can do, right now, to succeed

• Top 3 mistakes• Top 3 solutions• CTA [possibly tell them that 97% of the customers in your

course were satisfied; and in a world where most people don’t take action, 70%--nearly 3 out of 4—actually _____]

Method #2: 5 Core Problems

Why Don’t More Businesses Create Content?

They Don’t Know What to Create!

Good Digital Content Requires . . .

• Understanding your audience• Comes from

– Outcomes– Strategies– Tactics

• Knowing core problems

What Motivates Them?

• What keeps them awake at night?• What are their core concerns?• What are they focusing on most?• What are their core goals,

challenges?

Useful At Two Levels

#3: Make The Connection

Big Data

• Big buzz about big data• Lot of noise • Confusion

– What it is– What it means– What it can—and can’t—do for you

• Can produce overwhelm

“Front End” Strategy

Quiz or Assessment

• Quiz—which core problems do you have?• Automate a conversation• Quizzes are fun!• Diagnose the problem, prescribe YOUR cure

For Example . . .

• Tag prospects, send data into CRM• Target follow-up sequences• Follow-up specific to each prospect’s problem(s)

Imagine If You Could . . .

• “We do A, B, C, D,E . . .” versus• “You told us THIS is wrong and THIS is how

we can help you solve YOUR problem”• Automate a conversation with EVERY

website visitor• Show them EXACTLY how you can help

maximize their potential

“Back End” Strategy

Enriching Data

• Missing or hard-to-measure information

• Contextual information• Examples:

– Age, gender, zip code– Household income, marital status,

kids, home market value, education

Predictive Analytics

• Which customers are most profitable?• Which problems do I solve most

effectively?• Which types of campaigns are

generating greatest ROI?• How well am I turning Facebook

“likes” into “Leads?”

Power of Connection

• Automate what my father did, take it to a new level• Connections with them depend on information connections

within your business• Linking next generation’s tool with last generation’s insights
