Gearing Up for the Super Bowl

Football

Yes, February is approaching and that means another crazy month for marketers. Every February we are thrown into the whirl of not just celebrating the Hallmark holiday of Valentine’s Day, but also watching America’s favorite sport, football. With football pools underway, many cannot wait to watch the approaching Super Bowl. Every year, businesses pay tons of money to put ads on TV during the famous game. But as a business, something to think about is your other outlets of marketing. Think of marketing on social media outlets with hashtags. For example, if you are looking to market certain tweets or Facebook posts during the Super Bowl, then use hashtags such as #superbowlXLIX, #SBXLIX or you can even use hashtags for the teams. You can’t forget about the new ways of marketing and younger generations using these outlets.

New Year, new marketing?  This may be a question your company keeps pondering, and if so, think about emailing.  Traditional marketing seems to have made its way out and the new “in” form of marketing is social media and email.  This can yield a faster turn around for customers to buy or visit your business.  The better aspect of email marketing, or new marketing, versus traditional is the quick call-to-action.  People get your brochures, sales, promotions and updates all in their news feeds and in-boxes. With the proper subject line, personalization and content, you can create a great brand awareness.  Make a great first impression this new year, and start your company on the right foot.
