<p>If you're struggling with your marketing... ask yourself:</p> <p><br></p> <p>Are you relying on tactics you see others doing?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Are you investing in certain strategies just because you see your competition trying them?</p> <p><br></p> <p>Listen to this Episode as I share my thoughts on why doing the OPPOSITE of what you see others doing may be a smart move, and the dangers of assuming that just because you see someone else doing a tactic, it must be working.</p>

<p>These days, it’s easy to get caught up in thinking that the only thing that’s working in marketing is digital.</p> <p><br></p> <p>Here at <strong>High Level Thinkers</strong>, it would be nice if this were true since we’re a digital agency.</p> <p><br></p> <p>But the truth is, the top independent local jewelers are using a smart mix of digital marketing AND traditional, old-school marketing to produce the best results.</p> <p><br></p> <p>And that’s where today’s guest comes in.</p> <p><br></p> <p>James Porte has helped more jewelers create winning marketing campaigns than maybe any other person on earth. </p> <p><br></p> <p>James is the best kind of industry veteran… He started Porte Marketing in 1989 & has served on every board, presented at every conference and contributed to every publication in the jewelry business.</p> <p><br></p> <p>And, his campaigns are still putting significant cash in jewelers' pockets even today.</p> <p><br></p> <p>So we’re super excited to have him as a guest on the show.</p> <p><br></p> <p>James Porte is the founder of Porte Marketing, a full-service marketing agency serving local jewelry retailers. Based out of Florida, James has a wealth of knowledge and experience about all facets of jewelry marketing, especially in the area of traditional, offline campaigns which are crucial to success.</p> <p><br></p> <p><br></p> <p><em><strong>Setting the Stage</strong></em></p> <p><br></p> <p>What prompted this idea for an episode was getting yet another call from a local jeweler who told me they had pretty much given up on traditional marketing and thought digital was the only way to go.</p> <p><br></p> <p>And of course, digital does work, as that’s what we do.</p> <p><br></p> <p>BUT</p> <p><br></p> <p>I’ve found over the years that our clients getting the BEST results had a really nice mix of traditional, offline marketing in addition to their digital marketing.</p> <p><br></p> <p>In fact, I’d go as far as to say the “digital-only” approach really only works for online retailers. And even in those cases, they do a lot of offline marketing.</p> <p><br></p> <p>This episode of our podcast covers important questions like:</p> <p><br></p> <p>How does traditional marketing fit with digital marketing and what makes a good balance?</p> <p><br></p> <p>What are the foundational marketing programs that make a difference (flyers, phone scripts, mailers, private events)</p> <p><br></p> <p>What are some of your best campaign ideas that are still working really well today? (6-hour event, Valentine's Day Event, Inventory Reduction)</p> <p><br></p> <p>How do you create synergy between what you’re doing in your traditional marketing & digital marketing?</p> <p><br></p> <p>How important is it for people to get the same message across all their marketing channels?</p> <p><br></p> <p>What’s one piece of advice you could give local jewelers about their marketing?</p> <p><br></p> <p>This episode is loaded with helpful tips you can start using right now in your business.</p> <p><br></p> <p>If you’d like to get in touch with James Porte, you can reach him:</p> <p><a href="http://www.portemarketing.com/">http://www.portemarketing.com/</a></p> <p>Phone: 954-817-3911</p> <p>Email: portemarketing@gmail.com</p> <p><br></p> <p>You can also get in touch with Andre’ Savoie:</p> <p><a href="//">http://highlevelthinkers.com/</a></p> <p>Phone: 504-669-3207</p> <p>Email: andre@highlevelthinkers.com</p> <p><br></p>
