Ep. 44: If You Want More Local Customers Fast, Do This

If You Want More Local Customers Fast, Do This

Are you in a place where you need more customers to your local business fast? In this episode, Sydney shares the tactics she uses for her clients that result in a quick turnaround for more customers walking through your door. With the average business page’s post reaching only 5% of followers organically, your business can stand out with two simple marketing tactics. You don’t need to spend endless time creating content or $1000 to invest in a social media manager. You just need is a $5/day Meta ads budget and an email list. If you need to convert customers fast, this episode is for you.

What You’ll Learn:

  • How consistent low cost paid engagement ads can help you bring in new customers.
  • Why boosting a post does not get the same results as paid ads.
  • How Meta Ads manager can help you target your potential customers.
  • How creating a lookalike audience can help you reach “cold” potential customers.
  • Why you need an email list and how you can use it to keep customers coming back.

Tune in to hear about a retail store and a restaurant that found themselves with a continuous flow of customers even during historically slow months. These tactics are about showing up in front of the right people at the right time, and when you do that consistently, the results follow. Nervous about getting started on Meta Ads manager by yourself? Sydney can help.

Hi friends! My name is Sydney, founder of Marathon Marketing & Branding, and I’m so happy you’re here! As you might have guessed, I am an avid runner, which allows me to have more of that pinot and pasta in life. Running long-distance is all about training, endurance, and consistency.
