227: 3 Marketing Lessons the Olympics Just Taught Us

from Marketing Your Business - Marketing Strategies for Business Owners · host Stu McLaren

Canada vs. USA for hockey gold. The whole country stopped. Schools turned on projectors, churches delayed services, restaurants opened two hours early. And buried inside that moment are three marketing lessons that can change your business.   If your marketing feels flat, if engagement is low, if you're doing tactics that should work but just aren't, this episode breaks down what the Winter Olympics taught us about selling, community, and the surprising power of doing what you actually enjoy.   In this episode, you'll learn: - Why the backstory behind your offer matters more than the offer itself - How community creates momentum (and a real example from inside our program) - Why Norway -- a country of 5 million -- won more Olympic medals than the US - The "joy is a strategy" principle and how it applies to your marketing - A simple exercise to identify which marketing activities you should go all in on   📥 RESOURCE: Grab the resources from this episode at https://podcast.stu.me   CONNECT WITH STU: • Website: https://stu.me • Book "Predictable Profits": https://a.co/d/4GIi1uz • Instagram: https://instagram.com/stumclaren • Podcast: https://podcast.stu.me • Membership.io: https://membership.io   Subscribe and leave a review if this episode helped you.
