StoryBrand is a marketing framework developed by Donald Miller that helps businesses clarify their message so it resonates with their target audience. It centres around creating a story for your brand where the customer is the hero, and your business is the guide that helps them overcome their challenges and achieve their goals.
Implementing the StoryBrand framework can transform how you communicate with your customers. It simplifies your message, making it easier for customers to understand how your products or services can solve their problems. This clear communication helps increase engagement, conversions, and customer loyalty, ultimately driving growth for your business.
Creating a StoryBrand BrandScript involves identifying key elements of your brand's story, such as defining your customer's problem, positioning your brand as the guide with a solution, and outlining a plan that leads the customer to success. This script serves as the foundation for all your marketing materials, ensuring a consistent and compelling message across all platforms.
Be sure to choose a StoryBrand guide who prioritizes strategy over tactics. A strategic-first approach ensures your marketing is built on a solid foundation, preventing wasted time and resources in the long run. Look for a guide focused on aligning your core message and goals before diving into marketing actions, ensuring your efforts attract the right leads and drive meaningful results.
From the Strategic Marketing Tribe
Take a deep dive into the world of strategic marketing insights,
where you’ll find expertise to help your business thrive.
In a world dominated by social media and instant messaging, the relevance of email marketing often comes into question. However, contrary to popular belief, email marketing is far from dead. For small business owners and recruitment firms, it remains a powerful tool that can yield impressive results when used correctly.
Vicky Sidler, a seasoned expert from Strategic Marketing Tribe and StoryBrand Certified Guide with years of experience in digital marketing, provides a compelling and authoritative case for why email marketing remains a highly effective strategy. She addresses common misconceptions and highlights the reasons why businesses, especially small businesses and recruitment firms, should not dismiss this powerful marketing tool.
Big businesses rely heavily on email marketing, proving its effectiveness. According to HubSpot, email marketing generates $42 for every $1 spent, making it one of the most profitable marketing channels available. This statistic alone should make small businesses and recruitment firms reconsider the potential of email marketing. Despite the rise of new digital marketing platforms, email continues to be a cornerstone for many successful campaigns.
Vicky identifies three major issues that often lead to the misconception that email marketing is ineffective: poor-quality email lists, outdated contacts, and ineffective email content. Addressing these problems can significantly enhance the success of email campaigns.
One of the biggest mistakes businesses make is buying email lists. Purchased lists are filled with unqualified recipients who have no interest in your brand. This leads to poor engagement rates and the belief that email marketing doesn’t work. Building a quality list from people who have opted in to receive your emails is crucial. According to OptinMonster, targeted and segmented emails generate 58% of all revenue, highlighting the importance of a well-curated list.
To build a quality email list:
Create valuable lead magnets: Offer free resources like eBooks, whitepapers, or exclusive access to webinars in exchange for email sign-ups.
Utilize sign-up forms: Place these on high-traffic pages of your website to capture visitors who are interested in your content.
Leverage social media: Promote your email sign-up opportunities across your social media platforms to reach a wider audience.
Host events: Collect emails during webinars, workshops, or live events.
For recruitment firms with massive lists of clients and candidates, maintaining an up-to-date email list is essential. Contacts who haven't heard from you in years may have moved on or forgotten about you. This can result in high undeliverability rates and spam complaints. Regularly updating and cleaning your list ensures it remains current and engaged. HubSpot reports that email lists degrade by about 22.5% each year, underscoring the need for consistent list maintenance.
To keep your email list current:
Regularly review your list: Remove inactive subscribers and clean up invalid emails.
Run a deliverability audit: At the Strategic Marketing Tribe, we can run a quick audit on your list to help you identify all the undeliverable emails and clean up your list.
Implement re-engagement campaigns: Send targeted emails to inactive subscribers to re-engage them.
Encourage updates: Periodically ask your subscribers to update their preferences and contact information.
Email marketing requires consistency and strategy. Sending one or two emails and expecting immediate results is unrealistic. Using the StoryBrand Marketing Made Simple process, businesses can craft email sequences that resonate with their audience. According to DMA, segmented and targeted emails can generate up to 58% of all email revenue. Consistent, valuable content keeps your audience engaged and improves the effectiveness of your campaigns.
Effective email content strategies include:
Crafting compelling subject lines: Ensure your subject lines are engaging and give a clear indication of the email's content.
Personalizing your emails: Use the recipient's name and tailor the content to their preferences and behaviors.
Providing value: Offer insightful, educational, or entertaining content that meets the needs and interests of your audience.
Using a clear call-to-action (CTA): Guide your readers on what to do next, whether it's to read an article, download a resource, or make a purchase.
A common misconception is that email marketing is purely about sales. In reality, effective marketing emails add value to the reader before asking for anything in return. This builds a trusted relationship with your audience. According to Campaign Monitor, personalized emails improve click-through rates by 14% and conversions by 10%. By focusing on valuable content, businesses can build trust and increase the likelihood of conversions when they do make a sales pitch.
Sales emails:
Focus directly on selling products or services.
Often include promotions, discounts, and direct CTAs.
Marketing emails:
Aim to build relationships by providing value first.
Share insights, tips, stories, and other content that aligns with the audience's interests.
Many people think email marketing doesn’t work because they ignore many of the marketing emails they receive. However, even if only one email out of 100 catches your eye, it proves that email can be valuable. The same applies to your audience. Adobe reports that 61% of consumers prefer to be contacted by brands through email, indicating a strong preference for this communication channel.
Ways to enhance email engagement:
Segment your audience: Ensure your emails are relevant to the different segments of your audience.
Optimize for mobile: Design your emails to be mobile-friendly, as many users read emails on their phones.
Test and refine: A/B test different elements of your emails (subject lines, content, CTAs) to find what works best.
Consistent scheduling: Send emails at regular intervals so your audience knows when to expect them.
Email marketing can seem daunting, but with the right approach, it can be a powerful tool for engaging your audience and driving conversions. Here are some practical tips to help you make the most of your email campaigns:
Build a Quality Email List
Avoid purchasing email lists. Focus on creating landing pages and lead generators to attract genuinely interested subscribers.
Ensure your list is filled with individuals who have opted in and are engaged with your brand.
Keep Your Contacts Updated
Regularly clean and update your email list to remove outdated or inactive contacts.
An updated list reduces bounce rates and increases engagement.
Craft Compelling Content
Use the StoryBrand Marketing Made Simple process to create email sequences that resonate with your audience.
Focus on providing value before making a sales pitch to build trust and engagement.
Segment Your Audience
Segment your email list based on demographics, behaviors, and preferences to send more targeted and relevant messages.
Segmented campaigns can significantly increase open and click-through rates.
Balance Sales and Marketing Emails
Ensure a healthy mix of value-driven content and promotional messages.
Build relationships with your audience by addressing their needs before asking for a sale.
Monitor and Analyze Performance
Use analytics to track the performance of your email campaigns.
Adjust your strategies based on data insights to continually improve your results.
By following these practical tips, you can transform your email marketing efforts into a highly effective channel for reaching your audience and achieving your business goals. But the benefits of effective email marketing go beyond immediate engagement and conversions.
Understanding and engaging with your target audience through email marketing offers numerous long-term benefits for small businesses and recruitment firms:
Increased Customer Loyalty: When your audience feels understood and valued, they are more likely to become repeat customers and advocates for your brand.
Higher Engagement Rates: Tailored content and personalized marketing strategies lead to higher engagement rates, driving more traffic to your website and increasing conversions.
Improved Marketing ROI: By targeting your marketing efforts more precisely, you can reduce wasted spend and achieve a higher return on investment.
Better Product Development: Insights from your audience can inform product development, ensuring you create offerings that meet their needs and preferences.
Enhanced Brand Reputation: A strong understanding of your audience helps you create a brand that resonates, building a positive reputation and attracting new customers.
By investing the time and resources to understand your target audience, you position your business for sustained growth and success. Implement these strategies, and watch as your connection with your customers deepens, your marketing efforts become more effective, and your business thrives in the competitive market.
Email marketing remains a powerful tool for small businesses and recruitment firms. When executed correctly, it can drive engagement, build loyalty, and significantly boost revenue. By addressing common pitfalls and focusing on quality content and list management, businesses can harness the full potential of email marketing.
