Marketing your small business at a craft fair is VERY different from marketing your business in retail (in a boutique or store).
In this episode of the S.O.B. Marketing podcast, we talk with special guest Gretchen (Crafted From Faith) about the differences (and similarities) between retail marketing and marketing at craft fairs and vendor markets. Understanding what works best for each situation will help you reach your target audience - no matter the scenario.

Cue the gameshow music! 🎶This week on the Small Owned Business (S.O.B.) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are playing “Would You Rather” with marketing prompts.
We explore marketing scenarios that a small business may face, such as choosing between mastering one social media platform or spreading efforts across multiple, slow growth versus going viral, and the effectiveness of influencer marketing versus building a loyal community.
Let us know in the comments if you agree with other decisions - or if you think we are wrong! And go be the best S.O.B. you can be. 🫵

Spring is in bloom and craft fairs and markets are back in business like they never left! If you are a crafter or small business looking to break into the market/craft fair scene - this is the episode for you.
This week on the Small Owned Business (S.O.B.) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are talking about our basic blueprint for participating in markets and craft fairs. We list 5 simple steps to keep in mind when deciding and setting up for your events, so that you can be a successful S.O.B.!
Vivian and I have participated in a LOT of events over the years, and we’ve made a bunch of mistakes. We don’t want small business owners to make the same mistakes, so we created the Rock Your Fair course. It is a comprehensive guide on craft fairs, markets, and event marketing. We discuss everything from how to PICK the right event or market, to how to build an engaging table display. You can learn more about this course here: RockYourFair.com

We constantly talk about target audiences and how crucial it is for small businesses to understand their consumers. But how often do small businesses actually create an example of their consumer?
This week on the Small Owned Business (S.O.B.) marketing podcast, we talk about customer avatars, what they are, and how to create one for your small business. While having a basic understanding of your target audience is great (and important), when you go deeper and flesh out what makes your target audience “them” - that’s when you can connect with them more deeply.

If you are burnt out from social media, or simply want to expand your marketing strategy past social media marketing - this is the episode for you.
Marketing is so much more than social media, and there are so many effective strategies to help you grow your small business - both free and paid.
Vivian and I talk about different marketing strategies and initiatives that can help your small business grow - that do not involve social media. We also talk about how social media is NOT really “free”, and may not be the best option for your small business.

This past weekend TikTok was unceremoniously banned and unbanned within a matter of hours.
While this is great news for the small businesses that rely on TikTok for marketing and sales - this should also be a wakeup call.
Focusing your marketing efforts on social media marketing alone can severely hurt your small business, especially if TikTok does get banned in the future.
Vivian and I talk about reframing your relationship with social media, finding ways to move your target audience to your own platform, and tips for making the most out of your social media marketing.

Keyword stuffing is soooo 2000 and LATE! (All the millennials got that reference.)
With the rise in AI, the introduction and growth of SGE, and changes to search engine algorithms (we’re looking at you Google), SEO is no longer as simple as keywords or bust.
In this week’s episode of the S.O.B.. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast, Vivian and I are discussing new SEO tips to help small businesses get their websites in front of potential customers.
We also discuss Google’s new SEO guidelines, E-E-A-T, and ways to make sure your website is meeting those standards.
This episode will help you identify changes you need to make on your small business’s website - and if you need extra help, send us an email at help@TheSeasonedMarketer.com. OR join our monthly membership 𝐒.𝐎.𝐁 (𝐒𝐦𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐎𝐰𝐧𝐞𝐝 𝐁𝐮𝐬𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐬𝐬) 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐦𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐲: https://www.skool.com/sob

It’s a holiday special on the S.O.B. (Small Owned Business) Marketing podcast! This week, we’re mixing things up with some family fun. We invited our parents to join the show for a hilarious trip down marketing memory lane.
We shared some of our funniest, most cringe-worthy marketing stories from over the years—but we didn’t reveal who lived through them. Instead, our parents had to guess which of us was behind each story! Who knows us better? Who’s totally stumped? Tune in to find out!
