The Simplicity of Promotion

The 4-11 rule: For every four pieces of content you put out, you should only put one piece out that is promotional. @JoeStella  (opens in a new tab) #mmccon  (opens in a new tab)

The best marketing is sometimes the simplest.  In this morning’s “Communications Reboot: When to Start Over” session, communications expert Joe Stella  (opens in a new tab) shared a few tips with his audience, including this one: For every four pieces of content you send out, you should only send out one that is promotional. Why? So you don’t overwhelm your audience with promotional messages. Promotional content is good, but engaging content is more likely to create brand awareness, Stella says. (ht @GLCdelivers)
