How to Engage Customers With Digital Marketing

Here's how I got my client to listen to her community instead of just her business My client, an owner of a local coffee shop, was puzzled. Despite active social posts, her coffee shop stayed quiet. She was shouting into the digital void. One day, she overheard customers: "I wish there was a quiet place to work with good Wi-Fi and late hours."  Lightbulb moment! She shared with me over the discovery call that she'd forgotten to listen to her community. I changed her approach. 1. Tuned In: Followed local hashtags, joined community groups. 2. Read Between Lines: Noticed discussions about study spaces and late-night coffee needs. 3. Adapted: Extended hours, upgraded Wi-Fi, created quiet zones. 4. Engaged: Joined conversations, shared tips beyond just promotions. 5. Measured: Tracked mentions and sentiments. Result? Her shop became the go-to spot. Revenue doubled, engagement soared – all from posting smarter, not more. Most businesses focus on sales rather than social listening, so here's why social listening matters to all brands: 1. Uncover needs 2. Improve offerings 3. Manage crises 4. Gain competitive edge 5. Build authentic connections For those of you who are missing that vibe in your business, I would like to set a challenge: 1. Observe your niche for a week without self-promotion. 2. Find three surprising audience insights. 3. Plan strategy adjustments based on these. Share your biggest revelation!

🚨 Breaking News in E-Commerce Innovation With Perplexity’s “Shop Like a Pro” making waves in the e-commerce space, AI is reshaping how customers discover and purchase products. But here’s the next frontier for brands: turning package inserts into digital engagement powerhouses. 🔑 Why It Matters: The humble package insert isn’t just a piece of paper—it’s a direct line to your customers’ attention, post-purchase. Imagine scanning a QR code that instantly connects you to the brand’s email signup or exclusive offers. Tools like Brij make this easier than ever, bridging the gap between physical and digital experiences. How It Works: 1. Add a QR code to your inserts that link to your email signup page, rewards program, or product how-tos. 2. Pair it with a compelling CTA (e.g., “Unlock 15% off your next order!”). 3. Use AI-driven insights to segment new signups and send hyper-personalized emails tailored to their purchase. 📩 The Impact: Email signups drive recurring engagement, making each package not just an end but a beginning. Combine this with tools to predict customer preferences, and you’ve got a recipe for sustained loyalty and increased LTV. Plus, you have the ability to test what aligns best with the priorities for your brand: • Product reviews (“Share your thoughts—get $5 off!”). • Tutorials (“See how others style this product.”). • Community engagement (“Join our VIP group.”). As AI transforms e-commerce, the brands that balance AI innovation with tangible customer touchpoints will win. Package inserts + QR codes + AI-powered email = a trifecta of engagement. What’s your take? Are you leveraging package inserts to build deeper customer connections? #ECommerce #AI #Innovation #ShopLikeAPro #EmailMarketing
