Hey @RoslynK7  that’s a great question!   When marketing to folks who aren't super tech-savvy, it’s best to keep it simple and direct. Here are some ways you can use Constant Contact to reach them:   1. Design & Print: use Constant Contact to make and print things like flyers, brochures, or newsletters to hand out in your community. These should show off your home care services, how to contact you, and any deals or events coming up.   2. Get Involved in the Community: with Constant Contact, you can plan and promote local events like health fairs, workshops, or talks about home care. Personally invite people who could use your services.   3. Use Local Media: use Constant Contact to write up press releases and announcements and send them to local newspapers, radio stations, and community boards. This will help more people know about your home care agency.   Hope this offers some helpful suggestions. ... View more

@user345024   The first newsletters intro sets a happy tone for summer activities, but it could use a friendly greeting to make it more welcoming.   Make sure all fonts are the same size and style for a cohesive look. Some sections have smaller text, which can mess up the flow of reading. The pictures and links in each section are great. Just double-check that all links work and take readers to the right pages.   Here are some highlights: - Events: the descriptions of the Splash Pad, City Council meetings, and public hearings are detailed and interesting. Maybe add a call-to-action for people to join or help out. - Community Grants: the info is clear and helpful. Put the deadline in bold so people don't miss it. - Public Meetings and Utility Rate Adjustments: these are explained well. Maybe start with a quick summary to make it easier to read.   Overall, the newsletter is full of useful info for the community. A few small changes can make it even better.  ... View more

Thanks for sharing. I love the idea of National Lasagna Day!   Headline Current Headline: It clearly sets the context but could be more engaging. Improvement: Use a more captivating headline like "Indulge in the Best Lasagna Recipes" to grab attention. Recipes Section Layout: Keeping recipes in separate sections is effective for clarity. Merging them might overwhelm readers. Individual Recipe Sections Titles and Descriptions: Each recipe’s title and description are clear and effective. Specific Suggestions Engaging Headline: Use a more alluring headline to entice readers. Highlight Key Ingredients: Use bold or different colors to highlight key ingredients or unique aspects. Add CTAs: Include call-to-action buttons under each recipe to view the full recipe. ... View more

When prompting subscribers to sign up, it is important to be both clear and specific about what they’ll receive and what they are agreeing to. Instead of using a generic “Sign up” phrase, try using more descriptive language such as “Subscribe to receive weekly tips and exclusive offers.” This may include perks like exclusive content, discounts, updates, or expert insights. For instance, you could say “Get insider tips delivered to your inbox every month.” If there is a time-sensitive offer or limited availability, make sure to mention this in your call to action. For example, you could say, "Sign up now to receive a 10% discount on your first order." ... View more

I’m familiar with this! Particularly in the context of a nonprofit organization dedicated to facilitating animal adoption and rescue. Among the numerous posts shared on social media, the ones that consistently garnered attention were:   Narratives that vividly illustrate the impact of the organization’s unwavering commitment to animal welfare, effectively tugging at the heartstrings of our audience. For instance, when we shared adoption photos capturing the animals with their forever families, an overwhelming wave of support would invariably pour in from our community.   Visually captivating content, encompassing a diverse range of mediums such as photographs, infographics, and engaging videos. It’s a fact that visual content holds an unparalleled ability to captivate and engage audiences to a far greater extent than conventional text-based posts.   ... View more

Tight on time and budget? Not sure what to prioritize when it comes to digital marketing? Enjoy watching the conversation with our partners at Vimeo. In this webinar, they discuss the ways you can grow your business and improve customer engagement - all without breaking the bank or working overtime.     When it comes to video marketing, the statistics speak for themselves: People are more likely to engage with video than any other kind of content across all social media platforms — including Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Instagram. Websites with video enjoy more web traffic, and emails with video enjoy higher click-through rates. People are 12 times more likely to share a video than any other type of post. Marketing videos increase brand engagement and customer purchases. Approximately 85% of millennials have purchased after viewing a marketing video, and 53% of all adults have engaged with a brand after doing the same. People spend five times longer staring at videos than photos or other static images.   ... View more

One common mistake in email marketing is a lack of personalization. When you fail to personalize your emails, recipients are less likely to engage with them. To improve engagement rates, it's important to tailor your messages based on the preferences, behavior, and demographics of your recipients. By doing so, you can create a more targeted and relevant experience for your audience.   Another issue to be mindful of is overwhelming frequency. Bombarding subscribers with too many emails too frequently can lead to high unsubscribe rates and decreased engagement. It's important to find the right balance by segmenting your audience and sending relevant content at appropriate intervals. This approach can help maintain engagement and keep subscribers interested in your emails. ... View more

  In my opinion, the approach may differ depending on the specific industries or businesses of individuals. However, I can provide some general recommendations.   Unique content, provide subscribers with content that is not available elsewhere. This could include exclusive articles, interviews, or behind-the-scenes glimpses into your work or industry.   Share special deals, discounts, or offers that are only available to your newsletter subscribers. This can be a motivating factor for people to subscribe and remain engaged.   Keep subscribers informed about any updates, changes, or announcements related to your company, products or services.   Showcase content produced by your subscribers, such as testimonials, reviews, or user-generated photos or videos.   ...
