84. The Subtle Art of Predicting Customer Acquisition

The Unstoppable Marketer®

Just when you think you've got a handle on things, Utah's weather throws you a curveball – sounds familiar? That's because it's a lot like digital marketing, always keeping us on our toes! We open with a lighthearted look at the state's meteorological mood swings and segue into the warmth of family ties, sharing a chuckle about the various endearing names we have for our grandparents. Plus, you'll hear a sweet note from Grandma Peggy, who, spoiler alert, is possibly our biggest fan.
Running a business can feel like a high-stakes game, where high expectations often crash into the harsh walls of reality. In our lively discussion, we unpack what it means to have grit in the face of these challenges, especially in the fast-paced world of digital marketing. We talk about why the 'spray and pray' approach might leave you out in the cold and stress the importance of fine-tuning your strategy for the long haul. And with insights from our journey at a performance marketing agency and a digital marketing software company, we're spilling the beans on avoiding common pitfalls and setting yourself up for success.
To cap it off, we put the spotlight on the art of predictable customer acquisition and the significance of building a brand that sticks. As Meta's performance hiccup sent ripples through the direct-to-consumer landscape, we explore the alternatives like server-side tracking and the wisdom of a well-rounded strategy. Preston Rutherford from Chubbies joins us to dish out his take on the power of a compelling brand narrative and how it can create enduring connections with your audience. So tune in, and let's get your brand story on the path to becoming one for the ages!
