				<div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_0">
				<div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_0  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_0  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><p>Voice search isn’t new &#8211; it’s been shaping the way people interact with technology for years. With the rise of AI assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Google Assistant, voice search has become an integral part of everyday life. Whether it’s asking for the weather, finding local businesses, or setting reminders, voice commands have become second nature for many of us.</p>
<p>Did you know that 35% of UK households now own a smart speaker? And that’s not even counting the millions of people who use voice search daily on their phones. So, if your business isn’t optimised for voice search, you could be missing out on an increasingly important way to connect with your audience.</p>
<p>The reality is simple: if you’re not getting the visibility you want online, it might be time to consider how voice search optimisation could help your business.</p>
<h2><strong>Voice Search: A New Way of Searching</strong></h2>
<p>Voice search isn’t just about speaking instead of typing; it’s changing how people phrase their queries. Traditional searches often involve short phrases like “best coffee shop Beeston,” but voice searches are more conversational: “Where’s the best coffee shop near me in Beeston?”</p>
<p>This shift has implications for how businesses show up in search results. To stay visible, it’s essential to focus on natural language and question-based keywords.</p>
<p>And it’s not just about phrasing. Voice searches are highly local. People often ask “near me” questions, like “Where can I get flowers near me?” This means small businesses have a unique opportunity to capture local customers through voice search.</p>
<h2><strong>Practical Tips to Optimise for Voice Search</strong></h2>
<p>The good news? Optimising for voice search doesn’t have to be complicated. Here are some actionable steps to get started:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Adapt Your Content for Natural Language</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Create content that mimics how people talk. Focus on answering specific questions, such as:</p>
<ul>
<li>“How do I choose the best marketing strategy for my small business?”</li>
<li>“What are the top social media trends for 2025?”</li>
</ul>
<ol start="2">
<li><strong>Prioritise Local SEO</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Voice search thrives on local queries, so make sure your Google Business Profile is fully optimised. Include up-to-date contact details, opening hours, and encourage customers to leave reviews.</p>
<ol start="3">
<li><strong>Add FAQ Sections to Your Website</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>FAQ sections are perfect for capturing voice search queries. Think about the most common questions your audience asks and provide clear, concise answers.</p>
<ol start="4">
<li><strong>Optimise for Mobile</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Many voice searches happen on mobile devices, so your website needs to load quickly and be easy to navigate on small screens.</p>
<ol start="5">
<li><strong>Use Structured Data</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Schema markup helps search engines understand your content, increasing the chances of appearing in voice search results.</p>
<ol start="6">
<li><strong>Focus on Conversational Keywords</strong></li>
</ol>
<p>Tools like Google’s Keyword Planner or AnswerThePublic can help you identify conversational, question-based keywords.</p>
<p> </p>
<h2><strong>Why Voice Search Matters for Small Businesses</strong></h2>
<p>For small businesses, voice search represents a huge opportunity to connect with local audiences. By embracing this technology, you can:</p>
<ul>
<li>Improve local visibility, making it easier for customers to find you.</li>
<li>Enhance the user experience by providing quick, relevant answers.</li>
<li>Stay ahead of competitors who haven’t yet optimised for voice search.</li>
</ul>
<p>The best part? Optimising for voice search often aligns with other good SEO practices, so your overall online presence benefits.</p>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">Let’s talk about Out-of-Home (OOH) marketing. It’s one of those things that’s been around forever, yet it’s still as relevant today as it’s ever been- maybe even more so.</p>
<p>With digital ads crowding every corner of our screens, there’s something special about stepping outside and seeing a billboard that just <em>clicks</em>. No logos, no hard sell &#8211; just a visual or message that you instantly associate with a brand.</p>
<p>You may have seen in the media that Heinz has done a series of billboard ads &#8211; “It has to be…” You don’t need to see the logo to know it’s Heinz. That’s the power of great OOH marketing. Google it, it is impressive.</div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner"><h3><strong>What is OOH Marketing?</strong></h3>
<p>OOH marketing, or Out-of-Home marketing, is exactly what it sounds like: advertising designed to reach you when you’re out and about.</p>
<p>Think billboards, ads on buses and trains, digital screens in shopping centres, posters at bus stops, or even a quirky pop-up installation in the middle of a city square.</div>
			</div>
			</div>
				
				
				
				
			</div><div class="et_pb_row et_pb_row_3">
				<div class="et_pb_column et_pb_column_4_4 et_pb_column_4  et_pb_css_mix_blend_mode_passthrough et-last-child">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_module et_pb_text et_pb_text_3  et_pb_text_align_left et_pb_bg_layout_light">
				
				
				
				
				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">I remember when the tram system first launched in Nottingham. We sourced tram advertising for a campaign, and it was such an exciting opportunity to have our message moving across the city. That’s the beauty of OOH &#8211; it’s everywhere, it’s tangible, and it’s unavoidable (in the best possible way). It’s not just a throwback to traditional marketing; it’s proof that old-school strategies still packing a punch.</p>
<h3><strong>The Different Flavours of OOH Marketing</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>Billboards</strong> – The OG of OOH. Whether it’s a classic printed poster or a high-tech digital screen, billboards dominate high-traffic spots and demand attention.</li>
<li><strong>Transit Advertising</strong> – Ever notice ads on buses, trains, or taxis? They’re like moving canvases, reaching people across areas and cities.</li>
<li><strong>Street Furniture Ads</strong> – Ads on benches, kiosks, and bus shelters are perfect for urban areas where people are on the move but have time to look around.</li>
<li><strong>Digital OOH (DOOH)</strong> – Those dynamic screens you see in airports, shopping malls, or stadiums? That’s DOOH, bringing flexibility and interactivity to the OOH world.</li>
<li><strong>Guerrilla Marketing</strong> – The wild card. This could be anything from a street art installation to a flash mob, designed to grab attention in unexpected ways.</li>
</ol>
<h3><strong>Why Does OOH Marketing Work So Well?</strong></h3>
<ol>
<li><strong>You Can’t Skip It</strong> – Unlike digital ads that you can scroll past or block, OOH is always there. It’s part of your environment.</li>
<li><strong>Massive Reach</strong> – From commuters to shoppers, OOH reaches a huge audience across different times and places.</li>
<li><strong>Instant Brand Recognition</strong> – Seeing a brand in a public space gives it credibility. It’s like saying, “We’re here, and we’re worth noticing.”</li>
<li><strong>It Amplifies Digital Campaigns</strong> – Pair an OOH ad with a digital push, and you’ve got a recipe for serious engagement. QR codes, hashtags, or call-to-action links can bridge the gap beautifully.</li>
<li><strong>It Sticks Around</strong> – OOH campaigns don’t vanish after a few seconds. They’re up for weeks, sometimes months.</li>
</ol>
<h3><strong>How to Make OOH Marketing Work for You</strong></h3>
<ul>
<li><strong>Pick Your Spot</strong> – Where’s your audience? Find the high-traffic areas they frequent.</li>
<li><strong>Keep It Bold and Simple</strong> – You’ve got seconds to make an impression. A clean, striking design with a strong message is key.</li>
<li><strong>Connect It to Digital</strong> – Add a QR code or a memorable hashtag so people can engage with your brand online.</li>
<li><strong>Track the Impact</strong> – Measure success through metrics like brand lift, foot traffic, or social mentions to see how your campaign resonates.</li>
</ul>
<h3><strong>A Final Word</strong></h3>
<p>OOH marketing isn’t just advertising—it’s an experience. It’s the big, bold reminder of your brand’s presence in the real world.</p>
<p>And the best part?</p>
<p>It works for everyone—whether you’re a global name like Heinz or a small business wanting to make a splash. When done right, OOH has the power to stop people in their tracks, spark conversations, and leave a lasting impression.</p>
<h4>So, are you ready to step outside the screen and go big with OOH?</h4></div>

				<div class="et_pb_text_inner">There’s something truly special about Nottingham. I moved here 23 years ago, and from day one, I knew this city had an energy unlike any other. It’s a place where businesses grow, where ideas turn into action, and where connections make all the difference.</p>
<p>One of the things that has transformed my own business journey is networking.

It’s given me a space to learn, share, and connect with like-minded business owners without having to travel far.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A fabulous way to end the week!!!</p>
<p>Earlier this year, I was very fortunate to work with the amazing <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/ACoAAAWKQR0BJYLELKbmWwl6-AqAy03uI5bcfdk" data-attribute-index="0" data-entity-type="MINI_PROFILE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Gill Heppell</a> on her new book &#8211; It&#8217;s Not About the Silver&#8230;When You&#8217;re Gone, Pass It On. This was a new adventure for Gill who had committed herself to write a book and have it published in October of this year.</p>
<p>Gill&#8217;s brief was very clear &#8211; vibrant, eye catching design that people will take notice if they see it on the shelves. Her writing name is Geordie Gill which needed to be reflected. So the Creationz Marketing team got straight to work</p>
<p>Working on the branding and front cover was a poignant project  due to my personal circumstances at the time. These circumstances really brought home how important keeping memories alive are and to see it in print feels amazing. It is so true that when you lose someone, it is the little memories and recipes that last and I am sure this is going to be a fantastic success for Gill!</p>
<p>Today, Gill joined our <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/synergy-business-network-club/" data-attribute-index="2" data-entity-type="MINI_COMPANY" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Synergy Business Network Club </a>meeting and gave me a signed copy and it is something I will treasure and has made my week. Thank you so much Gill!</p>
<p>To find out more, please visit Gill&#8217;s website here &#8211; </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>We are often asked what are the benefits of an outsourced marketing team so we thought we would put this quick guide together to look at some of the benefits.</p>



<p><strong>What is outsourced marketing?</strong></p>



<p>Outsourcing is simply having a third-party company involved. An outsourced marketing team can be used in addition to an in-house team for a particular skill or support your business whilst you develop the need for an in-house team.</p>



<p>We become your marketing team and help get your marketing activities off the ground!</p>



<p><strong>Benefits of outsourced marketing:</strong></p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Flexible Support</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>There are many benefits to outsourced marketing, a major one being you’re not held to a long-term commitment. Marketing support can be flexible to support your needs and budget and allow you to grow and adapt. Marketing should not stop still.</p>



<p>If you are looking to start marketing for the first time, you can outsource the activities to get you up and running and then work with us until you need to develop an inhouse service.</p>



<p>At Creationz, we help support businesses develop their in-house team and provide a coaching and mentoring service to support where possible.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Cost-Effective</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>Another benefit, linked to flexible support, is that outsourced marketing can be a lot more cost-effective than employing a staff member – especially if you do not need anyone full-time. Therefore, it saves you a lot more money and once your marketing is up to speed you can easily assess what your needs are – more outsourced support or it is time to employ someone.</p>



<p>Outsourced support also allows you to try new services with a small-time frame to see if it could be beneficial – email marketing, blog writing, and social media support spring to mind.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Training</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>By having an outsourced marketing team, you do not need to train an employee or send them on regular courses to widen their skills, as you will have access to experienced marketers – often with a wealth a knowledge to help you shape and define your marketing activities.</p>



<p>Marketing is moving at a very fast pace so you can be assured you are keeping up.</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list">
<li><strong>Outsiders Perspective</strong></li>
</ul>



<p>It is very valuable having an outsider’s perspective for the business as they might spot an opportunity you may have missed or not thought of.</p>



<p>Also, often companies carry out the same marketing activities as they have always done, and a fresh pair of eyes can help spot new opportunities.  Working on the business instead of the business and give a fresh perspective.</p>



<p><strong>How can it help my business?</strong></p>



<p>Outsourced marketing can really help your business if you don’t’ have the expertise in-house. We are able to work for you if you already have too much to do without taking on marketing activity, we take the pressures off you.</p>



<p>Outsourcing your marketing will show you what is needed, what budget is required and how you can get the results you need. </p>



<p>We run our services to add value to any client we work with and take great pride in seeing businesses succeed.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[
<p>Christmas is an important
time of year for almost every business and presents itself as a fantastic
marketing opportunity. It can either lead to a huge increase in sales, or a
quiet spell as people focus their attention elsewhere. No matter what the
festive period brings to your business, it is vital that you have a festive
marketing plan in place in order to take advantage of the opportunities that
present themselves. According to Deloitte’s annual holiday retail forecast,
sales are projected to “result between $1,147 billion and $1,552 billion during
the November-January period.” With an increased portion of this falling online
due to Covid reducing footfall in shops. </p>



<p>Let’s take a look at the
basics of putting together a Christmas marketing plan. </p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>It’s never
too early start </strong></li></ol>



<p>It’s seems strange to start
thinking about your Christmas Marketing plan in September, but the truth is it
is never too early. Your larger competitors will have their festive marketing
plans drawn up and ready to implement, with the aim of securing vital coverage
for the must have gifts. The idea here is that your festive marketing plan
takes time to research, write and implement, and it should be part of your
early autumn calendar every year. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>There is
no one size fits all </strong></li></ul>



<p>When planning your festive
campaign, there is no one size fits all, you have to change up your approach
and see what works for your business. Some of the most effective holiday
campaigns use a mixture of blogs, videos, social media, competitions, giveaways
and more. Look back at what worked over the year and tailor it to fit in with
your festive marketing campaign, whilst mixing in success stories, tips and
helpful content. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Understand
what your customers will be looking for at Christmas </strong></li></ul>



<p>The first step in drawing up
an effective festive campaign is understanding how your potential customers are
going to behave in the run up to the big day. You have to understand how your
customers behave throughout the year and refine this for your Christmas
planning. Ask yourself questions such as what their spending priorities will be?
Will they be more interested in products or services? Will they do their
Christmas shopping early or late? Once you know the answers to these questions
your marketing plan will begin to form itself. </p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li><strong>Stay on
brand but lighten up </strong></li></ul>



<p>The festive period is meant
to be light and fun, of course stay in line with your brand image, however, it
is a great opportunity to give your clients that feel and childlike wonder. You
can stick with your tone, feel and brand colours but make everything more
festive and inspiring. Change up your social media account, as this is a prime
location to advertise your holiday discounts, specials and competitions </p>



<p>Once you are ready to
implement your marketing plan, putting it into action should be relatively
straight forward. However, it is crucial you monitor the results of your plan
so you can see how it shapes up against the targets you set. </p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><b>Why is getting in front of a camera so nerve-wracking?</b></p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26.25px;">80% of all content is now video.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26.25px;">So, why is it so scary to step in front of the camera? We put ourselves under so much pressure to make sure any content is slick, polished and without any errors but is it needed?</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26.25px;">No&#8230;pre-covid, I would agree that there was definitely an element of corporate videos looking very polished but the pandemic has helped break down those barriers. How many zoom calls have you been on where there has been a dog/cat walking into frame,  a child crying or people walking through their homes. The corporate look has also waned with fewer shirts and ties or smart blouses. We are being more human and that is something I really feel will last a lot longer as we have given ourselves permission to be who we want to be.</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: bold; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26.25px;">Do I like recording video?</p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26.25px;">Honestly, no! I find it a challenge, </p>
<p style="font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 26.25px;">I hate the sound of my voice as well as being picky but I also know that one of the biggest changes in marketing is being more human. Since we have started to post more photos of the team, our office and who we are, we have received so much more feedback which has been great. Sam was a superstar last week and got in front of the camera and he made it seem so natural. <a style="font-size: 15px; font-weight: bold; color: #e96131;" href="https://cdgl204.na1.hubspotlinksstarter.com/Btc/T+113/cDGL204/VVwk4S1H_2lFW6F871w34gYLbW5r_q0D4yPQxPN6tf6Yk3lScZV1-WJV7Cg_10W7Dx1kZ4nLndSW97KZTx87J740W8qgt4F2YPClzW696w6g93lzY3W2tZ-Th5SrpBxW8KyfKS70b0_qW3F5qfP7_01_-W7spYnV7fRrS0W5n8Q0n1WgtCfW3lKYZM5n4715W5F8nSH2BgwQtW7fx8n05zfCftW5VMftt3PkyQmVVW70s3l4NqTW2BTqJM88yy71W4bZTWt5H4gV3W47Mdrl6W__CRW4YFXlZ6pFJNmW40cSyp4dW2WfW3Y9hz17SdgMyW7506KW8RqNmYW2-wpRt25S91ZW3-bQtP3Hr6Y0W5KgLlT376ZTwW2HZRz31kPh-1W16413224B0CXW7cQNyF1h5GSTW7R8kTh4PNRcdW1K-SCs7nBGtwW7yvTT_4Q9yZs3dQL1" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://cDGL204.na1.hubspotlinksstarter.com/Btc/T%2B113/cDGL204/VVwk4S1H_2lFW6F871w34gYLbW5r_q0D4yPQxPN6tf6Yk3lScZV1-WJV7Cg_10W7Dx1kZ4nLndSW97KZTx87J740W8qgt4F2YPClzW696w6g93lzY3W2tZ-Th5SrpBxW8KyfKS70b0_qW3F5qfP7_01_-W7spYnV7fRrS0W5n8Q0n1WgtCfW3lKYZM5n4715W5F8nSH2BgwQtW7fx8n05zfCftW5VMftt3PkyQmVVW70s3l4NqTW2BTqJM88yy71W4bZTWt5H4gV3W47Mdrl6W__CRW4YFXlZ6pFJNmW40cSyp4dW2WfW3Y9hz17SdgMyW7506KW8RqNmYW2-wpRt25S91ZW3-bQtP3Hr6Y0W5KgLlT376ZTwW2HZRz31kPh-1W16413224B0CXW7cQNyF1h5GSTW7R8kTh4PNRcdW1K-SCs7nBGtwW7yvTT_4Q9yZs3dQL1&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1634817621405000&amp;usg=AFQjCNGdqD1NVXO64InTpF8bbY49FCc_5Q">See his video here</a></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">So, best-laid plans&#8230; we all have them!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">Last week I was attending a two-day conference and I was really looking forward to seeing two of the big-name speakers. Let&#8217;s just say that one really didn&#8217;t disappoint and I have learned so much whilst the other&#8230;they didn&#8217;t turn up.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">This event was over 2-years in the planning with the pandemic and my heart went out to the organisers as this speaker was a <strong>big</strong> name draw &#8211; over 1200 business owners from across the country who had all paid money and committed time to be there!&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; line-height: 26.25px; font-weight: bold;">But do you know what&#8230;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">The organisers quickly stepped in and delivered an extra learning slot that to me had&nbsp;100% more content&nbsp;I could adopt and made me even more&nbsp;motivated. Our new weekly email giving you hints and tips was crafted and this blog was drafted.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; line-height: 26.25px; font-weight: bold;">So what else did I learn?</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">Planning, planning and then more planning is needed in all aspects of business and your marketing is just the same to step in when things go wrong. It shouldn&#8217;t just happen on a whim but is part of a rhythmic process to help you avoid the peaks and troughs.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://creationzmarketing.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2021/10/IMG_2865-300x225.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="225">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; line-height: 26.25px; font-weight: bold;">My top tips for you today:</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">1. Add marketing into your diary this week &#8211; if it is in your diary as an appointment is more likely to get done!</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">2. Set up a Trello account (or equivalent) and plan out your weekly activity in the run-up to Christmas. (Christmas cards need to be printed and ready to post by the 1st&nbsp;December). I am happy to share our Trello Board Template if it helps, just send us an email and I will send it over &#8211; <strong><a style="color: #ff6600;" href="mailto:claire@creationzmarketing.co.uk">claire@creationzmarketing.co.uk</a></strong>.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">3. Tell your staff, team, family, friends or Creationz Marketing what your one priority is this week to get the accountability you need. My priority is to get 1 video created for a <a style="text-decoration-line: underline; font-weight: bold; color: #e96131;" href="https://www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/free-interactive-webinar-and-qa-why-you-should-be-using-video-tickets-176298492537?utm_source=hs_email&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;_hsenc=p2ANqtz--HrLYEM5c1hICv4HaSrKIaKNOE93p_aZVPgXgV7Fm79vMoe8Y4Hj2eNjl5F0AlnKvSBE7g" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-hs-link-id="0">free training programme</a>&nbsp;we are running and to work on our Hubspot process and I will share it in our Marketing for Success Facebook Group if we achieve this or not as I need accountability too.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">4. Look at how you can monitor the return on investment from your Marketing &#8211; visits to website, social media growth, new enquiries. One thing I learnt at the conference is that we often monitor too much and it becomes too complicated. Try and stick to a maximum of 10 things to really get a flavour of how your marketing is performing.</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">Looking back, I&#8217;m so glad that the speaker didn&#8217;t show as it made me take&nbsp;action.&nbsp;</p>
<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; line-height: 26.25px; font-weight: bold;">

<p style="margin-bottom: 10px; color: #23496d; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; line-height: 26.25px;">If there is anything in particular you would like some handy hints and tips on then just reply to this email. We are happy to help!</p>
