In Australia, 88% of companies are considered as small businesses. If your business doesn't have a digital presence, then you are not exciting the market as nowadays much of our world is online. Marketing your business in the digital world is undoubtedly helping to raise brand awareness and attracting more customers to buy your products. Recruiting marketing experts is critical for companies to grow financially and in terms of their digital presence and visibility. 

You may be involved in creating marketing strategies, marketing services, marketing consulting, but you suck. Maybe you don’t suck but you're scared of sucking, you fear underperforming as a small or large business marketer and that's perfectly fine.

Heights, darkness, bugs, SOCIALISING are amongst the most common fears or phobias people have but you know what is missing from that list of common fears? The fear of FAILING! Why aren’t there more marketing agencies, more millionaire marketers, why aren’t you a good marketer? Because you and many people, fear making mistakes, you fear making a lackluster marketing strategy, you fear miscommunicating yourself during your marketing consultations/marketing workshops, you fear failing.

To keep track of their key performance indicators (KPIs), marketers need help when facing 4.62 billion social media users and the different kinds of posts they create which are spread across 17 different social media platforms. That is not even considering the website traffic and engagement that may come from the 8.5 billion Google searches that occur every day. To provide your clients with clear and accurate results regarding your marketing efforts and their marketing expenditure, platforms have been created to track not only your social media engagement and views but the traffic, sales, and engagement that your website may receive. 

In the past year, we have been involved in more than 500 marketing strategies and campaigns across multiple industry sectors including technology, professional services, health, life sciences, manufacturing, logistics and FMCG.

There is a reason why companies that are seeking to grow know that their business needs a marketing strategy. It is simple. You are 313% more likely to achieve your marketing goals with a marketing strategy in place. If these odds are given to you, and a marketing strategy is accessible and affordable, then it’s a no-brainer.

Social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, or Snapchat are initially created for sharing memories and connecting families and friends. It has now transformed into a source of entertainment, news, and commercial opportunities. Towards the end of 2021, there were 4.55 billion people who are active on social media. Facebook is the most prominent social networking site, but is that still true in 2022? Facebook interaction on organic content has been on an all-time low, at approximately 2%. Some users have abandoned Facebook and moved to other platforms. Do you think Facebook is a dying Marketing Channel? 

After just completing my first year of university studying media and communications, I didn’t know the first thing about what the world of marketing involved. Having only ever taken two advertising classes, I knew almost nothing about what a marketing firm did let alone how they operated in the industry. That was until I found myself scrolling through Indeed.com, trying to find a way to fill in my time over the next three months. At a time when every second person was trying to find a job or internship, restless after the abundance of lockdowns we endured in 2021, every opportunity I was either turned down or was one in 500 applicants. Marketing Eye was no different, an application I thought I would never hear back from. Or so that’s what I thought. 12 weeks later I am left to reflect on my time working as a Marketing Eye Intern learning from and working alongside a team of dedicated, passionate, and hardworking marketing executives.

When you start out in marketing, you always think the career path will be easy, fun and a bit on the glamorous side. Then when you start, you realize that it isn't easy, fun is for Friday's and there is no glamour in organizing an event even if it is for your favorite fashion brand.

Many don't start in the mail room or doing photocopying anymore, but at an entry level there is plenty of mundane tasks that can often bury our enthusiasm for the career that you are by this point indebted to through your university degree.

While B2B and B2C take different approaches to achieve their business goals, one thing they have in common is that whether it's businesses or end customers, they are both communicating with people. People socialize, and online social media platforms allow them to get connected without time and geography constraints. As is known to all, 2 years of the pandemic has entirely changed the world, more specifically, the way we live, and how things function have gone more digital. Statistics show, by 2025 the number of American online shoppers is expected to reach 291.2 million, which translates into about 88% of the U.S. population. 

B2B social media marketing in this case sees no exception. B2B's buying journey doesn’t end after visiting the website and checking the price. Moreover, 84% of B2B executives claim that they use social media to make their purchase decisions while 72% of B2B buyers research products on social media. In 2022, the demand for B2B companies to craft their social media marketing is growing higher than ever. Putting your brands out there and propelling the transitions can promise your businesses a more recognized and engaged future. 

As a recent graduate, accumulating professional work experience in my final year of university has been critical in shaping my career path. Undertaking an internship during the pandemic was difficult, to say the least, but I was so fortunate to have had this learning experience with Marketing Eye. The marketing internship provided me the opportunity to explore more about content marketing, which has been useful in helping me become the marketer I aspire to be!

Located on a bustling street in Hawksburn, this 12-week internship program allowed me to intern in a distinctly modern and vibrant terrace-style building. Despite being unable to work physically in the office in the early stages of the program, the team at Marketing Eye was supportive and was quick to respond to any questions I had while I interned online. When I had the chance to go into the office for the first time, I noticed that Marketing Eye’s culture was focused on friendliness and a strong work ethic, which inspired me to work equally as hard as them. Working alongside the marketing executives has not only helped me strengthen my resume but has also built confidence in my writing skills. 

In an era of tough local competition and aggressive start-ups, every business wants to gain an upper hand over its competitors. However, imitating your competitors is never a good way to beat your competition. Instead, it can frustrate business owners and confuse customers. Whether you’re currently in the process of starting a new business or already owning one, having a strong online presence is vital for your brand. 

The marketing community is always coming up with ways to increase their customer base and market share, and with more businesses resorting to marketing strategies, having readily available and up-to-date information can optimize the business’ overall success. In relation to call-to-action (CTA), promoting your products and services requires the assistance of persuasive tactics. 

Here are five persuasive marketing tactics that can prompt action:
