YOUR STORY IS TOO GOOD TO GET LOST

It’s easy to feel like your message is getting drowned out in a world of hashtags and AI-generated everything. Maybe focusing on authentic, human-written content feels overwhelming, or you’re worried your story isn’t interesting enough to stand out.

At Strategic Marketing Tribe, we get it – and we also know the magic of a real story told by real people.

Here’s how we help:

  • We show you how authentic content creates real connections, building trust and loyalty far better than anything a bot could churn out.

  • We simplify the process of uncovering and telling your story, so it’s easy, effective, and even enjoyable.

  • We prove that your brand’s story is unique – and when it’s told the right way, it’s impossible for the right audience to ignore.

We’ve seen what happens when brands embrace their authenticity, and we’d love to help you do the same. Together, we’ll create a marketing strategy that feels true to who you are, resonates with your audience, and leads to meaningful success.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

We know marketing can feel overwhelming, and you probably have questions. That’s why we’ve put together answers to the things people ask us most.

What makes Strategic Marketing Tribe different from other StoryBrand marketing agencies?

We’re the StoryBrand marketing agency that skips the boring "corporate speak." We blend the power of StoryBrand with strategic marketing solutions to craft content that feels human, genuine, and impossible to ignore.

How can your strategic marketing solutions benefit my business?

Our strategic marketing solutions simplify your message, clarify your brand story, and help you connect with your ideal customers. It’s marketing that makes sense and gets results – no jargon, no gimmicks, just growth.

What is StoryBrand, and why does it matter?

Think of StoryBrand as a cheat sheet for marketing clarity. It helps you explain what you do in a way that makes people stop, listen, and say, “Oh, I get it.” We use it to create marketing that feels human and that your audience will actually enjoy reading.

Do I need to be familiar with StoryBrand to work with you?

Not at all! Whether you’re a StoryBrand superfan (like us!) or have no idea what it is, we’ll walk you through everything. We’re here to make the process simple, clear, and (dare we say) fun.

Why should I invest in human-written content?

Because people can tell the difference (and they're getting a bit tired of reading AI-generated content – aren't you?). Human-written content has personality, authenticity, and heart – all the things that AI just can’t fake. It’s that authenticity that makes your audience want to stick around.

STORY, MEET STRATEGY

Let’s make marketing feel less robotic and more real. Find resources that bring your message – and your business – to life.

US–China Tariff Truce Sparks 90‑Day Price Break

US–China Tariff Truce Sparks 90‑Day Price Break—How to Restock, Re‑Price and Keep Customers Happy

May 16, 20252 min read

By Vicky Sidler | Published 16 May 2025 at 12:00 GMT

Tariffs are the ankle weights of trade: once they’re strapped on, every imported box feels heavier and pricier. This week, those weights loosened. The United States and China trimmed duties from 145% to 30% for the next 90 days, and China cut most of its levies on US goods to 10%. The stock market danced, but the real celebration happens at your loading dock—because your next shipment could cost a whole lot less.

Tariffs 101—why a temporary cut is a big deal:

Think of a tariff as a surcharge added to incoming goods. Buy a $10 gadget overseas, add a 145% tariff, and that gadget lands at $24.50 before shipping. With the new 30% rate, the same gadget lands closer to $13. Multiply the difference by every unit in your next order, and the savings pile up fast.

Two ways to put the savings to work:

You really have two straightforward options:

  1. Keep the extra margin. Bank the money and let it cushion surprise bills or slow months.

  2. Share a slice with customers. Trim the price a bit—or add a small freebie—and let shoppers feel the win. Happy customers tend to come back and bring friends.

Pick the path that fits your cash‑flow mood, then move on.

How to use the 90‑day tariff truce—quick, repeatable steps:

I’m a StoryBrand Certified Guide and Duct Tape Marketing Strategic Consultant, and I combine these frameworks with Lean Marketing to build simple, strategic, and effective marketing systems that work while you sleep. If that sounds useful, here’s the quick version for the tariff truce:

  1. Check your costs.
    Email your supplier: “What’s my new unit price now the tariffs are lower?” Even a few dollars saved per item stacks up fast.

  2. Decide: keep or share.
    Keep the savings if cash is tight; share them if you want buzz. Either way, explain the tariff drop—transparency builds trust.

  3. Spread the word.
    Post one clear line: “Tariffs dropped. Prices relaxed. Sale ends in 90 days.”

Do these three things and let the system cook while you focus on the rest of your business.

Want a printable checklist that turns any headline—tariff truce, new app launch, you name it—into a simple three‑step marketing move?

Download my 5‑Minute Marketing Action Sheet and keep it by your desk. One page, instant clarity, zero fluff.

Small wins now, flexibility later:

If tariffs snap back in August, the ankle weights return—but you’ll have banked savings and goodwill. If the truce sticks, you’ve locked in cheaper stock and proven you can sprint when the weights come off. Either way, you’re ahead.
