We’re not trying to radicalize anyone, but we’ve got a tip that just might disrupt everything you thought you knew about marketing: Slow. Everything. Down.
All too often, marketing plans fail because a team gets eager to fix everything at once. Sometimes, details fall through the cracks. Other times, you lose sight of the big picture.
Here’s a better approach: Pull one growth lever per month.
That’s it. One.
Not throwing everything at the wall for a vague goal like “improve marketing.”
Not dumping your year’s budget into a moving target like “increase awareness.”
Find something specific and measurable. For example: Email signups. Average order value. Lead quality.
Then, spend the month pulling that lever from every angle. If the lever is your conversion rate, examine your homepage messaging or simplify your CTA. See what tweaks start to make a difference until that conversion rate starts to trend upward. Then you can move onto the next.
