Often when us, business owners write copy for marketing - website, web pages, newsletter, social media post, email, articles and much more - there is a temptation to sit back in our chair, full of pride, hear the sounds of jubilant trumpets and press Publish. 

However, my advice to you is to pause. 

You see, you need your copy to be in remarkable condition, cut to chase and captivate your reader's imagination. In short, you need your reader to read your work. 

In this short podcast, I share 5 tips to make your marketing copy flow. Little tips that will make a difference to someone reading you copy or moving on. 

This is one to save and listen to again and again. 

You'll soon discover on this podcast: 

  • How to avoid the dreaded wall of text, 
  • The only way that people will spend their hard earned time with you,
  • How your copy should be able to strut up and down muscle beach,
  • An exercise that is so worthwhile but it hard (even seasoned copywriters like me struggle),
  • Inject some art into your writing.

Standing out is easier than you think.

Especially with the clients that you have - remember, your existing customers can become your raving fans. It would seem that there is a race to the bottom, in terms of customer service and delivering good customer experience.

And for someone who cares about how people do business, this race is killing me.

You see, I truly remain committed to one thing – customer and client centric marketing.

This episode is dedicated to showing you, using two examples that most people can relate to, that standing out is easier than you think.

The big question I ask in this podcast is - How can I provide better customer experience?

It's a short but thoughtful episode, an area of marketing that sometimes we don't give as much attention to as perhaps we should.

Enjoy.

August. Not fully Autumn, not fully summer and yet August is a fabulous month to enjoy.

It speaks of lazy days, bbqs and time to relax and rejuvenate.

In terms of business, it’s a great time to reap the planning of the summer months and prepare for the Autumn. It’s one of those months that as business owners, we tend to take our foot off the pedal a bit, before the madness of Finishing Strong kicks in.

In this podcast, I share why it’s important to stay marketing in August and talk about three things: 

1. Meet your Audience where they are at

2. Use Fun Holiday Themes and Days

3. Use ‘Back to School‘ Mindset to Plan

Some people never check email or social during August, some double down on it. Being visible with some fun, planned posts and emails will make a difference when it comes to taking advantage of the ‘back to school’ mindset in September.

Make hay as the sun shines so put in a small amount of effort now and yield the results later.

Sometimes we need to slow down to reassess what's working and what isn't and reset. 

Five months has gone but there are seven ahead of us. This could still be the year you achieve more than you ever have. 

Take the time and reassess these three Ws: 

  • Your Why
  • This will keep you grounded while you get busy with summer activities or when you face into the moments of doubt. 

  • Your Who 
  • Knowing who you serve and truly understanding your customers, clients or patients problems sets you up for success in a way more than you will ever know. 

  • Your Way 
  • What way are you marketing your business, your products or services? 

It will really help you in a big way moving forward. It's so important to keep moving forward, to keep the momentum going. 

What do I alway say? It takes way more energy to stop and start than to slow down and keep it going. 

In this episode, I talk more about the Who than the other two Ws...your why and your way. 

The power of your marketing comes from understanding your customer better than they know themselves. We talk about this a lot in this episode.  

Enjoy.

Consistency in marketing drives content, communication and results which is why I’m dedicating a full episode to getting consistent in marketing.

If you struggle to be consistent in marketing, then this episode is for you.

Being an entrepreneur, a business person and a person who wants to reach more people takes hard work. There is no hack. Regardless of how many times you fail, how many times people will tell you that it won’t work, get a real job, you have to stay consistent.

And it’s the same with your marketing.

If you’re experiencing peaks and troughs, then you have a consistency issue.

In this episode, I talk about

  • examples of actors and business people who never gave up because of consistency
  • three strategies that you may have heard before but today is day you take action,

  • a bonus strategy that will keep you consistent – again and again...because of its powerful effect on the brain.

Enjoy.

Getting Intentional with Content Marketing

In this week’s podcast, I ask you to do one thing, be one thing from here on out...be intentional with content marketing.

Content marketing is everywhere – content is everywhere and yes, content is king on the Internet. It’s the oil that keeps the engine going.

But here’s the thing – I want you to stand out, step up and market your business your way.

Posting lots of content with no clear objective is not standing out, it’s not stepping up and it’s not marketing your business your way. It’s doing the way that everyone else is doing it.

That stops today.

Take a listen to this short podcast where I introduce you to the Fay Way to Content Marketing.

  • In this podcast you’ll hear
    why it’s important you do content your way
  • three ways to start doing content marketing with intention

  • shift your thinking in how you do content marketing

Building connection, building relationships and building community can all start with the right content.

Two years ago. That’s when the world stopped and became a movie.

Would we ever have believed it if someone told us in 2019 what 2020 was going to be like?!

Things are opening up now in 2022. However, Now has it’s own challenges. Rising prices, rising energy prices, rising inflation, war in the Ukraine.

Nobody knows what’s around the next corner.

In this week's podcast, I talk about my inspired thought that I made into a video, one that encourages you to step up and market more. I explain why in this podcast despite the fear and uncertainty that’s around us.

If you make a difference with your business, then I encourage you to market more….so you can reach more people and create a ripple effect.

I give three strategies that are implementable today. You can pause...in fact, I tell you to at a certain point and take action.

The world has changed and the world needs what you provide.

Create a ripple effect, listen to this podcast and take action today.

Lets Talk Marketing Assets.

So what is a marketing asset? A marketing asset is something tangible, that is of value to your client, customer or prospect that will lead to a return. It's everything from your email list to your blog posts; your logo to your photos; your emails to your press releases.

The chances are that you have many marketing assets, lying discarded on shelves, google drives, dropboxes and a clatter of online platforms.

For this podcast, we talk about your content marketing assets and how it’s so important to audit what you have.

The purpose of doing a marketing asset audit is to see what you have already, prioritise it, repurpose it or dump it and really see what you need rather than what you want.

In this podcast, we talk about

  • the 29 marketing assets (and more) that you have lying around,

  • explain why it’s important you audit what you have,

  • Assess the usability of what you have,

  • Clarify what marketing assets do you really need v want to create.


The marketing assets audit does just that - helps you audit your marketing assets.

To support you in this task, I've created an easy to use template that will help you audit your assets. Get your free copy here - https://www.achievemarketing.ie/marketingasset
