Transcript

Marketing as we know it is falling apart. No denying that. Open rates for emails are 5%. Click through rates are below 1%. The future is cookie best, so you can't rely on third party data. You have to collect your own first party data. And the average engagement for brands on social media is less than 1%. Plus, let's not even get into platform destabilization and the fact that you don't actually own your content. Despite all of this, the consumer is getting pickier than better, so community and feeling like a VIP are everything. So what's a brand or a marketer supposed to do? There are two things that you should be exploring, and if you're not already on these, run. First is personalized communication at scale. I am not talking about old school SMS marketing. Platform like Community actually collects data on your consumer side, allows you to have two way open ended conversations with your community members at scale and actually does all the hard work of segmentation for you. This is a great example of a campaign that they ran for McDonald's fairly recently. I'm not involved with this company in any way. I'm just a fan of what they're building and think this is the future of SMS marketing. Okay. Next up. I don't know where brands got this idea that every company needs its own app. You don't. But you do have to contend with the fact that push notifications are opt in. I've been loving some of the solutions that are being built around this problem. One of them being novels pivot into creating these iconic wallet passes. This is an example from Liquid Death. Basically lives in your wallet like a credit card, and you can accrue points. You can then convert into cool stuff from the brand, free product, merch, etcetera. Not only does this solve the push notification issue, but you can also send tier targeted notifications, which are directly correlated to boosting retail sales. And in this omnichannel world, that's more important than ever. Personal favorite feature, however, is that you can have other people scan this while you're in person with them, so you get conversational referrals. This is getting into a whole other video of where we see influencer marketing headed, which is every consumer is an influencer in their own right. But how cool is it to be able to track that and monetize it as a customer?
