Marketing tactics you can test this week
Want ideas that actually move the needle? This tag collects simple, testable marketing tactics — from SEO and ads to social media and AI — so you can pick one, run it, and see real results. No fluff, just steps you can use right away.
Start by naming one clear goal: more leads, higher sales, better engagement, or lower ad cost. When your goal is narrow, choosing tactics gets easy. Aim for two-week experiments and a single variable change each time. That way you know what worked and why.
Quick tactics to try
Use ChatGPT to speed up creative work. Give it your brand voice and ask for three headline options, three caption styles, and two CTA variants. Don’t publish without editing — the AI saves time, but your edits keep the message human.
Repurpose one long asset. Turn a blog post into a short video script, five social posts, and an email. Repurposing multiplies reach with minimal extra effort.
Target intent for SEO. Pick one customer question and create a helpful guide that answers it. Use clear headings, short paragraphs, and one focused CTA. Promote that guide with a single email and two social posts — promotion matters as much as the content.
Run micro-targeted ads on a small budget. Test a narrow audience (job title, interest, or custom list) and two creatives. Measure cost per lead, not just clicks. Scale only the combos that meet your CPA goal.
Measure, learn, repeat
Track three metrics tied to your goal — for example conversion rate, cost per lead, and engagement rate. Check those weekly and keep a short experiment log: hypothesis, variant, result, next step. If a tactic lowers cost per lead by 20% or raises conversions, double down. If it underperforms, pivot fast.
Change one thing at a time: headline, image, audience, or offer. That keeps tests clean and the lessons clear. If engagement drops, test a new creative voice before pulling budget.
Avoid common traps. Don’t chase every new tool — pick the ones that help your workflow. Don’t spray generic posts; personalize where it matters. And don’t skip follow-up: fast replies and simple nurture sequences turn interest into customers.
Need a simple plan for this week? Pick a goal, write a short landing page, craft three social posts that drive to it, and run a small ad test. Measure after two weeks and optimize the winning element.
