Effective Ads for Meta

Social media is everywhere these days, and it’s not just for keeping up with friends and family. It’s also a powerful tool for businesses to connect with their audience. But when it comes to promoting your brand on social media, there are two main approaches: paid and organic.   Paid Social Media   Pros: 1.

Precise Targeting:  Paid social platforms offer advanced targeting options based on demographics, interests, behavior, and more.

Google & Yahoo, key players in the realm of email services, have implemented changes to enhance email authentication protocols. We’ll try and distill this down to more plain language and what it means for  you. We  start with some technical aspects that need to be understood to have an actionable conversation. If you want you can skip down to that chunk, I’ll note it for ya. SPF (Sender Policy Framework): SPF is a widely used email authentication protocol designed to prevent email spoofing. It’s also been around for many many years, so it’s not exactly new per se. Google has introduced refinements to SPF to bolster its effectiveness in verifying the authenticity of email senders.

  The New Year is here and we wanted to provide a shortlist of ideas for our fellow restaurateurs to consider. Here is a brief focused on enhancing your brand on both the website and in your digital marketing strategies. (Sidenote, if you’re not already thinking about Valentine’s Day, that should be tip #0!) 1. Optimize your Website for Mobile Users: • We’ve grown accustomed to seeing top pages on website being Menu over the Homepage and most of that traffic 80%+, comes from a mobile device. Ensure your website (specifically the Menu) is mobile-friendly to accommodate users on smartphones. • Minimize page loading times and simplify navigation for a smoother mobile experience. Less is more, consider that oftentimes mobile devices aren’t on wifi, so they rely on the network connection to pull the website. Help ’em out a little. 2. Leverage Social Media Advertising: • The truth is that organic social media doesn’t have the reach it used to, so rather than expend a lot of energy here...

Pink Jacket  was invited to speak to students at the  University of North Texas . Luckily, we have two alumni on staff! Both Ryan Wilson and I graduated from UNT out of the (brand new, at the time)  Digital Retailing  department. We went to go speak to students in a Consumer Psychology course about branding – something Pink Jacket knows VERY well. One of the key engagements we conducted with the students was a Q+A session. These students had some thought-provoking questions, considering they are coming from a younger generation, with an outsider’s perspective of the Marketing universe. Let’s peek at four of the more interesting questions that were brought up and some of our responses. What does a typical day look like at Pink Jacket? Everything and anything! No, truly. I think one thing that is interesting to note is that life at an agency is always changing day-to-day. It depends on what time of year, what time of the month, new clients onboarding, etc. The PJ team ...
