No problem can be solved from the same level of consciousness that created it.
Albert Einstein
Considering the speed at which our online world changes, it seems like we’re all just doing our best to keep up. By the time we figure out that algorithm, or get our social media strategy in order, it seems like we must pivot to the next big thing. Always chasing, never able to take a deep breath and just exist where we are.
However, there certainly do come times when we feel that our content’s gone a bit stale. Or we’re not seeing the same kind of results from what we’ve been doing in the past. It is finally time for a change. But where to start?
Sometimes, all it takes is a change in perspective. It doesn’t mean you need to overhaul everything you’ve ever done. Maybe make a few tweaks here and there. And rather than looking at it from a “I-have-to-do-this” perspective, look at it as an opportunity for growth. Reframing your mindset in a more positive way can make a big difference.
So when it’s time to change your perspective regarding your marketing or content efforts, here are a few areas to consider.
1. Let your research guide you
In last week’s post, we discussed the power of insight. The analytics about our websites, social media activity, and other content provide use with valuable information that can be used in our favor. This information can help us learn from our past and guide our future. Any additional research you’ve done about your target audience or market trends can help in a similar way. When you make strategy decisions, you can feel confident that they’re backed up by hard, solid facts.
2. Focus on the important things
No matter how much you consider changing, make sure not to let your brand evolve into something you’re not comfortable with. It’s usually a good idea to keep the heart of your brand identity the same – you can always refine it to help it resonate further, but don’t turn it into something totally new. No matter how much your strategy ends up changing, it’s generally best to keep a consistent message to reinforce brand identity and recall for your audience.
3. Have fun along the way
Although you’re using research to back you up, and you’re staying true to the heart of your brand, it’s important to remember to have fun. Not everything goes perfectly the first time, or even the second or third time. Flexibility, agility, and a “roll with the punches” attitude will get you far, whether it’s in revamping your marketing strategy or in different aspects of life. Learn to embrace the unexpected and laugh along the way, and you’re guaranteed to find little moments of bliss.
A change in perspective or an adjustment in mindset. Or even someone to bounce ideas off of. If you’re looking for a partner in your marketing strategy, we’re here. Let’s work together to breathe new life into your brand.
