| 5/25/26 |  5 Small Business Marketing Mistakes and What to Do About Them | Small business marketing usually does not fail because of one bad idea. It fails when the message gets blurry, the strategy gets scattered, and the business starts chasing motion instead of momentum. In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we look at the hidden marketing mistakes that quietly cost small businesses time, money, and trust. Because better marketing does not always mean doing more. Sometimes it means getting clearer, moving faster, staying consistent, and giving customers a real reason to choose you. 5 Mistakes: Playing a Giant Shotgun vs. Rifle Approach Overthinking Random Acts of Marketing Why? 30-MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION WITH MATT Every month, Matt selects one email subscriber for a 30-minute virtual discussion to go over their marketing efforts and provide recommendations.

| 5/21/26 |  Mistakes Made in Marketing Math by Small Business Marketers | More sales do not always mean more profit. A local business can run a sale, bring in more customers, and still make less money than before. The problem is not always the marketing. It is the math behind the marketing. In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we break down how discounts, ad spend, low-margin products, giveaways, and average order value can quietly turn a "successful" campaign into a profit problem. Before your next promotion, advertising campaign, or potential customer walks through the door, make sure the numbers actually work. Formulas to Know Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) = Sales and Marketing Expenses/Number of New Customers Acquired Life Time Value (LTV) = Average Revenue Per Account x Gross Margin/Churn Rate Average Order Value (AOV) = Total Revenue/Number of Orders Placed 30-MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION WITH MATT Every month, Matt selects one email subscriber for a 30-minute virtual discussion to go over their marketing efforts and provide recommendations.

| 5/18/26 |  Your Business Needs a Content Engine | Small businesses do not have a content problem. They have a content system problem. Most owners know they need more social posts, better emails, stronger videos, and maybe even a podcast. The problem is finding the time, ideas, equipment, and consistency to make it all happen. In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we discuss why content studios are becoming a new option for small and medium sized businesses. Instead of trying to create everything from scratch, business owners can sit down for a short session and walk away with content that fuels social media, email marketing, customer engagement, and long-term brand growth. Your business does not need more random posts. It needs a content engine. 30-MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION WITH MATT Every month, Matt selects one email subscriber for a 30-minute virtual discussion to go over their marketing efforts and provide recommendations.

| 5/14/26 |  The Simple Email System That Lifts Business Growth (And Increases Sales) | Most customers do not disappear because they are not interested. They get busy, distracted, unsure, or stuck comparing options. That is where a simple email drip campaign can keep the conversation alive. In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we break down a four-email follow-up sequence small businesses can use to reconnect with warm leads, answer common questions, build trust, and bring interested customers back to the next step. Sometimes the sale is not lost. It just needs one more helpful follow-up. Email Samples: Follow-Up Email 1 (Same Day) Subject: Great talking with you today Body: Thanks for stopping in today. I know you were looking at a few options, so I wanted to send a quick note in case any questions come up. Here's the easiest next step: reply to this email, call us, or stop back in when you are ready. We are happy to help you compare options and figure out what makes the most sense. No pressure. Just wanted to make sure you had an easy way to keep the conversation going. Helpful Education Email 2 (2 Days Later) Subject: A few things to consider before deciding Body: When customers are deciding, the biggest questions usually come down to fit, timing, price, and what happens next. Here are a few things worth thinking about before you make a decision: what problem are you trying to solve, how soon do you need it, and what would make this feel like the right choice? We are happy to walki you through those questions so you do not feel like you are guessing. Trust Builder Email 3 (5 Days Later) Subject: Why customers choose us Body: One thing we hear from customers is that they want to feel confident before they buy. That makes sense. Here's what customers often tell us they appreciate: we take time to explain the options, we do not push people into something they do not need, and we help them make a decision that fits their situation. When you are ready, we would be happ to help you do the same. Final Nudge Email 4 (7-10 Days Later) Subject: Still thinking it over? Body: I wanted to check in one more time in case this is still on your list. If now is not the right time, no problem. But if you are still interested, we would be happy to answer questions, revist the options, or help you take the next step. Sometimes the hardest part is just getting back to the conversation. 30-MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION WITH MATT Every month, Matt selects one email subscriber for a 30-minute virtual discussion to go over their marketing efforts and provide recommendations.

| 5/11/26 |  Is Live Selling the New Local Sales Floor? | Customers are not just shopping online anymore. They are watching, asking, reacting, bidding, and buying in real time. Live selling blends video, product demos, urgency, chat, and checkout into one fast-moving sales experience. For small businesses, the opportunity is not just picking the right platform.

In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we break down how live selling works, what options businesses should consider, and whether this trend belongs in your local marketing strategy. 30-MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION WITH MATT Every month, Matt selects one email subscriber for a 30-minute virtual discussion to go over their marketing efforts and provide recommendations.

| 5/4/26 |  Why Local Businesses Need to Watch Their Digital Marketing | Some of the easiest digital marketing tactics are starting to become the riskiest. In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we break down three major shifts every local business should pay attention to and why the next phase of marketing may be less about chasing attention and more about earning trust. Brands are getting sued for using popular music in social media posts. Younger consumers are quicker to boycott businesses they do not trust. And fake reviews are now under closer watch from the FTC.

| 4/30/26 |  Is AI Speeding Up Or Adding Work to Your Local Marketing Strategies? | AI can either sharpen your local marketing strategy or bury it in distractions. In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, Jim and Matt take a casual approach and discuss why today's AI landscape feels a lot like the early internet: full of options, hype, and uncertainty about who will lead. But the real advantage does not come from chasing every tool. It comes from knowing what your business actually needs, choosing where AI can help, and putting it into action. Because while most people are still talking about AI, the businesses willing to test, learn, and implement are already pulling ahead. 30-MINUTE FREE CONSULTATION WITH MATT Every month, Matt selects one email subscriber for a 30-minute virtual discussion to go over their marketing efforts and provide recommendations.

| 3/5/26 |  What's Really Holding Back Your Business Growth? Marketing? Resources? Is It YOU? | Most businesses say they want growth. But when it comes time to invest, scale, or push harder, hesitation shows up fast. Limited marketing budgets. No time. Fear of what happens if things actually work. So what is really holding businesses back? In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we challenge the idea that growth problems are caused by marketing tactics alone. Instead, we dive into the hidden mindset shifts, operational fears, and decision making patterns that quietly slow down business growth and customer acquisition. If you have ever said "not right now" to marketing strategies, delayed investing in sales, or felt stuck between wanting more customers and protecting what you already have, this conversation will hit close to home. The real question is not how to grow faster. It is what you might be protecting that is keeping you small. HAVE A SHOW IDEA?
