2026 Marketing Trends

Send us Fan MailMarketing is shifting—and 2026 will reward small business owners who are intentional, human, and strategic with how they show up.In this episode, I break down six key marketing trends shaping 2026, specifically for small businesses, solopreneurs, and entrepreneurs with lean teams (0–15 employees). These are not buzzwords or big-brand strategies—they’re practical shifts you can actually implement without a massive budget or staff.We talk about how AI and human creativity work together to differentiate your brand, why collaborations and shared audiences are becoming one of the fastest paths to growth, and how smaller, intentional events are outperforming large conferences when it comes to trust and conversions.I also cover why short-form video still matters—but long-form content is making a comeback, how search is evolving beyond keywords into conversational, multi-format discovery, and why turning your brand into an experience (not just content) is essential for standing out in today’s crowded digital space.If you’re planning your 2026 marketing strategy, feeling overwhelmed by trends, or trying to grow your visibility without burning out, this episode will help you focus on what actually works—and what to stop chasing.🎧 Perfect for:Small business ownersCoaches, consultants, and service providersEntrepreneurs building a personal brandLeaders planning ahead for 2026👉 Listen in and choose one trend to start implementing now—because momentum beats perfection every time.--- Schedule a meet and greet call at www.CallSharvette.comThe Sharvette Mitchell Radio Show | www.Sharvette.com Listen and Subscribe to our Podcast: https://pod.link/281762250 Listen on Apple Podcast - http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/the-sharvette-mitchell-radio/id281762250Listen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/6Er67rVhcSqj8MO7ysL9bVListen on iHeart Radio: https://www.iheart.com/podcast/256-the-sharvette-mitchell-rad-31047507/Listen on BuzzSprout- https://thesharvettemitchellradioshow.buzzsprout.comListen on Amazon Music Podcast: https://music.amazon.com/podcasts/7a6dbb45-abf8-4ce7-8202-116b3dbd3f31/the-sharvette-mitchell-radio-show
