You kids get off my lawn! And Other Things Old Marketers Say | Tara Hunt. Contrarians. They're trouble. At least they're trouble in structured organizations. They are the "But maybes" in your "Of courses!” They come up with exceptions to your rules.

It's hard for businesses to find a place for contrarians. But, when they do find their place, the results can be incredible. Think Steve Jobs: He was ki...

After almost four decades, I believe the best choice for another shot at a conversion is still that quaint old communication medium: email.

Email still can't be beat for rich content, for conversations that feel one-to-one, and for getting another shot at a future customer. It's the original social media platform.

"CMOs are abdicating their strategic position in their businesses."

Just when I was marveling at how much CMOs really must do for their brands, Laura Patterson, President of VisionEdge Marketing, said the above statement that stopped me in my tracks.

Laura has been focused on performance marketing and the proper use of data since before it was "cool,” and if anybody knows what's going on with CMOs,...

"Marketing needs to generate more leads," says sales.

"Sales needs to follow up on the leads we're sending them," says marketing.

This gulf, this canyon, this gaping sinkhole between sales and marketing has been aro...

Having a true understanding of your target customer is the first step in building an effective marketing plan.

How are they spending their time? Are they able to use the time they have to focus on their area of expertise? And do they have an interest in doing even better work?

Come to think of it, we could ask these same questions of ourselves. It’s a full-circle approach that leads to better clarity about our ta...

We're told terrifying things: that people have the attention span of a goldfish, that Millennials don't read, that we only have 8 seconds to make our point. No wonder we're confused about how to communicate through copy.

However, the words we use to establish our value and persuade visitors to take action can be tested. Data to the rescue!

There is a ceiling on your conversion rate. It's not your price. It's not your copy. It's not your form.

It's eating your website from the inside out. It's causing your SEO to atrophy. It's causing your paid search placement to drop. It's causing your visitors to bounce, and it's only getting worse as mobile traffic grows.
