Tactic 1: Play the Game, Win the Market 🎮
Traditional content marketing not working for you? – we’re talking guerrilla gamification! Remember the good ol’ days of social campaigns that were gamified? Re-live it by developing a browser-based game that immerses users in your brand’s universe. Progression in the game depends on sharing your content, referring friends, or completing other growth-driving actions. Reward top scorers with exclusive perks, and watch your audience engage like never before. Who said performance marketing services couldn’t be fun?
Tactic 2: The Influencer Flip 🔄
Why chase influencers (and spend unjustifiable amounts that will dent your marketing budget) when you can become one? Create a magnetic online persona that embodies your brand values and showcases your industry expertise. Position your startup as the solution to the challenges you discuss, and you’ll soon find yourself invited to podcasts, webinars, and industry events as a thought leader. Trust us; this reverse-influencer strategy will have leads pouring in.
Tactic 3: Flash Mob Fusion ⚡
Ditch the solo act and team up with a complementary, non-competitive brand for a co-branded flash mob extravaganza! Numerous brands have skyrocketed their growth by using this one single tactic. These spontaneous, choreographed events will grab attention, giving both brands a social media boost and content to share. It’s a win-win growth marketing tactic that’ll leave your audience saying, “Did we just become best friends?”
Tactic 4: Delighting with Data 🎁
You’ll probably know by now that we’re huge fans of data. But let’s talk personalization – but not just any personalization. We’re talking data-driven surprise and delight! Dive deep into your customer data to uncover micro-segments and tailor unique experiences for each group. Hand-written thank-you notes, unexpected gifts, or exclusive offers will turn your customers into die-hard fans who can’t help but spread the word about your brand. Don’t believe us? Remember Ryan Cohen’s Chewy? Nuff’ said.
Tactic 5: Embrace the Antifragile 🎭
In a world gone mad, being antifragile isn’t just a nice-to-have – it’s a necessity. Turn the chaos of the SVB debacle into a catalyst for growth by positioning your startup as an antifragile solution to the current challenges. Share your story of stability and opportunity through press releases, blog posts, and social media, and you’ll become a shining beacon in the midst of uncertainty.
