Today, in part 3 of this Webinar series, Molly Pittman shifts gears to talk about Monetization! You'll hear how to run promotions that make sure that you're generating more revenue from the people you have paid to bring into your ecosystem.

    "What's really important for promotions is that there is an obvious opening, and then there is a clear closing when it ends. Even if this is an excitement promotion, scarcity (something that is going away) is what is going to drive action. And usually, about 50% of your sales or activity happens in those last couple of days as people respond to that scarcity'. Molly Pittman

    Ep. 182, Unlocking Success: 5 Secrets From Our Top Clients In 2023 Feb 06, 2024
    Show notes

    Need some inspiration for 2024? In this episode, Pepijn Hufen (CEO of The Smart Marketer Agency) looks back on their most successful clients and accounts in 2023 and asks, "What did they have in common"?

    Smart Marketer agency clients enjoyed an average growth rate of 235%, but the top clients grew even more, and sure enough, they had five common traits or activities.

    If you're a Marketing professional or an Entrepreneur, listen for three higher-level insights and two more tactical Meta-ad takeaways (that you can apply to your campaigns).

    You Will Learn:
    • The Crucial Numbers You Need To Know And Track

    • The most significant insight Pep gained from working with their most successful clients in 2023

    • A Meta Ad Strategy that still drives success (that many businesses have abandoned)

    "If we can do it all, then an account can be really, really on fire." Pepijn Hufen
