Edan Gelt Presents: Copywriting to Crush the Competition

Image
Copywriting is key to articulating your message. Writing words and copywriting are not the same.  The goal of copywriting is to increase your bottom line, create brand awareness and/or deliver a strong ROI.  Our consumers are bombarded with ads and have less time than ever to absorb what you are trying to say.  Although there are no official figures, it is estimated the average person consumes between 6,000 to 10,000 ads every single day! Compare that to the 1970’s when consumers only encountered 500 – 1600 ads per day. The rise of technology and the internet is changing the landscape for businesses with more than 400 million active websites online and all of them vying for your attention.    Copywriting is Key to Selling Headlines can make or break your campaign.

Edan Gelt Presents: Reviews - Make it or Break it

Image
Did you know that 90% of consumers research online and rely on review sites before making a purchase? Google reviews make it or break it for your business. We live in a world where everybody Googles everything, and ratings can make or break your business. Just a half star increase in your rating is equivalent to a 9% increase in revenue per Harvard Business Review .  Comparing your business to a book on Amazon:       5-Star or four-and-a-half star books sell well       4-Star books sell occasionally       3.5-Star or below books rarely sell one copy  If your business was a restaurant, Berkley economists found that a half star improvement makes it 30-49% more likely that a restaurant will sell out during peak hours.  Let’s compare the data above to a home seller looking for a lawyer or real estate agent.   Starting at the top of the sales funnel – you send out emails, advertise on Facebook, sponsor local events, hand out a card at Starbucks, or a potential client got your name from a

Edan Gelt Presents: Brand Yourself | Crafting Your Brand Statement

Image
After nearly two decades of marketing and branding businesses, I needed to shift and use my experience to brand individuals for a new career path.  I quickly came to realize it is much more challenging branding a person than a company . Now I have much admiration for influencers and other individuals who have excelled in doing just that. For starters, companies spend big money on branding. They hire outside agencies, have decent budgets and many have spent years building a strong go-to-market identity. I’m hoping my blogs and Minute of Marketing YouTube series offers value in helping you lose all inhibitions to create your own personal brand and campaign.  It is entirely egocentric and at times a tad uncomfortable, but you’ve got to flaunt what you’ve got.  Let’s get started! DEFINE YOURSELF BY BRANDING Who are you and what value do you bring to your profession or lifestyle?  Don’t dig too deep on this one but seriously, what are you good at?  If you’re a real estate agent, are you
