Today, Jennifer talks with us about the challenges of virtual events and building relationships during the COVID-19 pandemic.Digital Marketing in the COVID-19 Pandemic [3:02]Digital marketing as a whole is always going to be the powerhouse. What's happening with the pandemic and the work-from-home setting has thrown many marketers into a loop. They lost the ability to go on-site and do sales calls. They lost the ability to do direct mail campaigns, and everybody is now inundated with email. Everybody is pushing email because it can be accessed anywhere and is relatively inexpensive in marketing to people. It really should be more reactive and have more to do with people expressing an interest and then hitting them with communication that is relevant to what they're asking about.The Secret to Longevity [4:19]All American Entertainment is trying to focus on building relationships. With successful companies, they know that relationships are the secrets to longevity. The best price is not always going to get you loyalty. It's always going to be the relationships you build, the service you provide, and the trust and brand that will extend your relationship. That longevity of having a consistent recurring customer costs less to keep a happy recurring customer. Importance of Relationships [15:50]Building relationships will help you better understand what makes your clients tick. That is the secret to building that long-term relationship. If you understand their pain points, you're one step ahead of them, and then you can help solve them.Creating the Right Following [22:47]It's also important to know and make sure that you're getting the right following, which can be challenging. You're selling or trying to market to people and you're trying to bring in new customers to make sure you're getting the right customers. With social media, you want to get the right followers. But remember that more is not always better if they're not the right followers.Keep Practicing [34:54]Do not skip the practice step. You want to make sure that all your speakers' tests are ready, that you know the people on the other end. Do not just assume that your speakers are going to know how to get on your platforms. Prepare and practice before the day of your event. It is challenging, but the greater likelihood of success happens when those practice sessions happen.Learn more about Jennifer Best: https://aaehq.com/https://aaespeakers.com/Twitter: https://twitter.com/jen_best6?lang=enLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jenbest6/ Hosted on Acast.
