🛑 Stop relying on just paid or just organic marketing! In episode #15 of Flip Your Marketing Flops, Joe Sayles introduces his 👉Bicycle Strategy, a powerful marketing framework from his Lead Generation Made Simple process that combines paid advertising and organic marketing for maximum business growth.
Many businesses make the mistake of relying solely on either paid ads or organic methods, but Joe explains why this one-wheel "unicycle" approach is inefficient and risky.
Instead, the Bicycle Strategy uses organic marketing (the front wheel) for long-term brand building while using paid advertising (the rear wheel, powered by your budget "pedaling") for immediate, targeted results.
Joe breaks down how to implement this two-pronged approach through each stage of the AIDAS customer journey - Attention, Interest, Desire, Action, and Satisfaction - with specific tactics for each stage and explains how businesses using this integrated approach have seen up to 200% higher conversion rates.

Quotes
• "Trying to grow your business with only organic marketing or with only paid ads is like having a 'Unicycle' approach to your digital marketing strategy."

• "Remember that creative, relevant, and engaging ads perform best, regardless of which platform you choose. If you want lasting results, don't choose between paid or organic, choose both, and make them work together." ✨
