People today are paying closer attention to the values of the brands they support. Research conducted by Harris Poll revealed that 82% of shoppers prefer a consumer brand's values to align with their own, and they'll vote with their wallet if they don't feel a match. Welcome to Marketing Tip Monday with SIP Certified. We know customers are looking for wines labeled as sustainable. While our longer-form episodes help you learn about the latest science and research for the wine industry, these twice-monthly micro podcasts will help you share your dedication to sustainable winegrowing so you can show your customers that you share their values. In addition to consumers voting with their dollars, Harris Poll found that 75% of shoppers surveyed have even parted ways with a brand over a conflict in values! Sustainable winegrowers and winemakers can easily connect with conscious consumers over these 7 values." 1. Social Responsibility Practicing social responsibility helps foster healthy relationships at work and in the community: Treat employees and the community with care and respect. Get involved in charity work, volunteering, & donations. Are aware of the impacts of the business (social and environmental!). 2. Water Management Did you know that less than 1% of our planet's water is accessible freshwater we can use to fulfill our daily needs? Sustainable wine brands do! That's why they: Use native plants for landscaping and cover crops. Conduct plant and soil tests to determine irrigation needs. Collect and reuse wastewater. 3. Safe Pest Management Both commercial and hobbyist farmers deal with pesky pests that damage crops, steal resources, and spread diseases. Sustainable winegrowers use an informed and tailored approach to tackling their farm's unique and dynamic pest complex: Introduce beneficial insects to challenge insect pests. Attract birds of prey to hunt vertebrate pests. Manage canopy and fruit density to reduce mildew pressure. All of these practices are part of an Integrated Pest Management (IPM) system. 4. Energy Efficiency Making wine is an energy-intensive process. Whether from fuel, battery, or electricity, energy is used at every step of the process that turn grapes to wine. With so many uses of energy, there are many ways to improve efficiency: Reduce tractor passes with vineyard equipment that covers multiple rows. Reduce energy use by properly insulating tanks and buildings. Reduce dependence on fossil-fuel—based electricity with alternative sources like wind and solar. 5. Habitat Sustainable winegrowers cultivate a biologically-diverse ecosystem that sets the vineyard up to thrive without excessive use of inputs like water and fertilizers: Create and adhering to conservation plans. Maintain wildlife corridors to give wildlife safe passage. Preserve open, uncropped areas so native plant and wildlife species have a home. 6. Business Sound and responsible business practices help set a business up for long-term success: Annual and multi-year budgets. Accurate record keeping. Offer benefits packages and competitive pay. 7. Always Evolving In order to stay successful and relevant, sustainable businesses constantly look for opportunities to learn more and evolve: Attend and host educational events. Subscribe to local and industry news. Provide education and upward movement opportunities for employees. We are here to help you tell your customers how your brand protects natural and human resources with the Sustainable Story program. This simple yet powerful free tool helps you tell your own personal sustainable message. And it just got better with a new online course.

The reason I reached out to my next guest is because what he's doing now is where I believe the future of outbound sales and marketing is headed. What I'm referring to specifically is community building, conversational selling, and micro products. I'm seeing a shift in the market from large online platforms to smaller, niche communities. Facebook groups, Slack channels, Discord servers, Etc. I'm also seeing a shift towards messaging apps like Facebook Messenger, Telegram, WhatsApp, and even good old fashioned text messaging. More sales opportunities and conversations are being found and happening in these communities and on these apps. B2B Enterprises simply can't ignore this shift that is happening. Which brings us to today. In this interview we'll take a look at how this serial founder is using community building and conversational selling to create and sell micro SaaS products to rabid customers. Todd Larsen is the owner of a growing portfolio of Micro SaaS companies. He has a systematic approach to researching niche audiences, catering SaaS products directly to their needs, and rapidly releasing a product to generate immediate sales.

Jeff Rohrs is the CMO of Yext and Author of Audience: Marketing in the age of subscribers, fans and followers, and The Everywhere Brand ebook. He’s also a former VP at Salesforce and ExactTarget. In this episode, Brian Ardinger and Jeff talk about managing content and brands across the web and how hard it is to put perfect information into consumer’s hands everywhere. Yext uses a digital knowledge management (dkm) platform to automate this process. With consumer behavior changing, 73% of a business’s traffic is now taking place off their website. The smallest content is becoming the most important, such as updating store hours and phone numbers. Companies need to update all the customer endpoints that matter, which is different from SEO. Jeff's book, The Everywhere Brand, with co-author Jay Baer (also the author of Talk Triggers), discusses how brands are going to have to be everywhere. The challenge is how they will control their appearance around the web. You can download The Everywhere Brand ebook or watch a YouTube video on The Everywhere Brand with Jay Baer and Jeff Rohrs (31 min) As for future trends, Jeff is watching the use of voice. Voice refers to voice commands or voice as discovery. AI is also growing, such as in visual search with Google Lens and Google Photo. More than 85% of Americans are using AI in services like Uber and Google. Jeff believes you can’t control UI and AI, but you can manage the info it has about your company. Additional knowledge resources include Smart Brief and EMarketer.

"Consumers deserve perfect info about businesses everywhere. We can all agree on that." Going out of the gate, Jeff Rohrs reminded us of what's at stake with all of the information about businesses online. As Chief Marketing Officer at Yext, Rohrs is on the leading edge as brands work to manage all of the digital knowledge that's available today. Chances are, what you've thought about already is just the tip of the iceberg. We discussed what data, voice, AI, and AR mean for "everywhere brands" this week on the On Brand podcast. About Jeff Rohrs Jeff Rohrs serves as Chief Marketing Officer for Yext, the Digital Knowledge Management platform that gives companies control over their customer-critical facts across today’s ever-expanding universe of intelligent services. Jeff co-authored The Everywhere Brand (Yext 2017), and his first book, AUDIENCE: Marketing in the Age of Subscribers, Fans & Followers (Wiley 2014), has been lauded by marketers and executives alike as a must-read. Prior to joining Yext, Jeff served as Vice President of Marketing Insights for Salesforce and ExactTarget. Episode Highlights So what is Yext? "Brand's need to be in control of their information." Yext provides a digital knowledge management platform to do just that. "We work on the rest of the iceberg under the surface. Most are just looking at the tip — website and search. The lion's share includes places like Alexa, Siri, and Uber." Brands today have to be everywhere. In an ebook co-authored with Jay Baer, Jeff outlines the concept of brands being everywhere today. He shared the basic tenants of what this means including being customer centric, granular, and committed to actively managing. How can brands be ready for a voice-first environment? "First, you have to separate voice commands from voice search and discovery. You can't optimize. That's been debunked. You need to think about the facts first. That's how you future proof your brand." What brand has made Jeff smile recently? Jeff provided not one, not two, but three brands that have made him smile. First, Nike with their "gutsy" Colin Kaepernick ads. He's also a big fan of how DonorsChoose closes the loop by sharing updates from funded projects with donors via email. And finally, we recorded this after a big win for the Cleveland Browns, which brought a smile to Jeff's face as well.

Jeff serves as CMO for Yext, the company that puts business on the map with the award-winning Yext Knowledge Engine. Prior to joining Yext, Jeff served as Vice President of Marketing Insights for Salesforce and ExactTarget where he built the content marketing and thought-leadership teams. Jeff’s first book, AUDIENCE: Marketing in the Age of Subscribers, Fans and Followers (Wiley 2014), has been lauded by marketers and executives alike as a must-read for those interested in the rise of proprietary audience development as a core marketing responsibility. A Clevelander now working in NYC, he continues to bask in the afterglow of the Cleveland Cavaliers NBA Championship. Here are the highlights of our conversation with our guest: Jeff is passionate about, foremost, his family and friends; and after that, learning about growing and challenging himself. He is a communicator at heart but went to law school and at the end, realized that reliving the worst moments of people’s lives was not his cup of tea. He quickly gravitated towards the internet and before he knows it, his marketing materials are syndicated in his company in a national level. He was tapped to do paid search advertising and had a blog, about bacon, which drove about seven figures of revenue. He forged partnership with ExactTarget before joining Yext. He developed the knack for marketing because of the different skillset he gained from being pushed out to the audience at an early age. Being placed in a position where you are nervous in front of strangers forces you to think on your feet and drives you to empathize with your audience. He had also delved in different things to test his creativity, such as sketch comedy, which gained him the skill of being able to quickly assess a situation; hone in on what’s important, funny and meaningful; and then figure out how to turn and communicate that into something of value. Jeff’s main focus, as a CEO, is growth and managing towards it. Hiring and managing internal teams, empowering his team to make decisions and execute campaigns and projects, creating opportunities and paving career paths, and instituting internal events where they bring in thought leaders and influencers to motivate their teams are things which he continuously work on. Together with HR, he works on implementing initiatives which drive culture change and celebrate people through Yext Talks and other engagement activities for different resource groups, which how their marketing team gives value to their organization. These are usually low cost but bring pride to their team. The challenge that they find as of this time is nurturing talent. You will see a wide gap between the students out of marketing school and the cream rises up to the top very quickly. In a market like New York, there is too much competition for creative talent and the challenge in attracting talents is a real one. Jeff shares that AI and machine learning are freight trains which are bearing down in many industries and people are viewing them with mixed emotions: excitement and trepidation. For Jeff though, he looks at this with a sense of excitement and exploration and with an understanding that these concepts must be built upon accurate information and deep knowledge. Their vision is being that source of truth for data needed for these technologies.
Knowing your audience is the first step to creating successful marketing. If you can know who your customers are, and then target them, it could change your business drastically. Here we give you a few tips on how to nail that down.

Back in the day before email and smartphones, it was common for people to stop working and leave the office at 5pm.Now, we are all constantly connected to our work and our time has become scarce. This creates a common issue that marketers struggle to overcome: My customers don't have time for me.That may be true on the surface, but if you want to break through and steal some time or borrow some attention from your potential customers and client, you need to give them something that is hyper-relevant.An example of this hyper-relevant messaging comes from a Guatemalan sneaker company, Meat Pack. By installing their mobile app, sneaker fans can get the best deals on hot new items. The app, which includes a GPS locator, has been successful in pulling customers away from competitors and generating buzz (http://www.thinkwithgoogle.com/campai...).

News flash: There is no secret sauce when it comes to gaining customers. And you can't always convince people to pay for your products and services - that's not the way modern business works. Instead, you have to give away everything you know. This requires both patience and courage to make sure you're doing things the right way. Today's Sprout Social shout out goes out to Jeff Rohrs of ExactTarget and co-host of Social Pros. We're so proud of him because his book, Audience: Marketing in the Age of Subscribers, Fans, and Followers, was named one of the 25 books that marketers and CMOs are reading this year. Jay Today is sponsored and produced by Candidio, a simple and affordable video production company, and Sprout Social, a social media management and analytics company that Jay uses for much of his social media every day.
