  • Email Marketing Best Practices Straight from Santa's Workshop
    2024/12/20
    Effective email list management demands a systematic approach. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney breaks down essential email marketing best practices through a creative North Pole analogy. She explains how businesses often chase new prospects while overlooking opportunities within their existing database. McKinney unveils a data-driven approach to email marketing B2B lead generation, from processing bounces to strategic database maintenance. Her framework combines analytical insights with human intelligence, bringing together email marketing KPIs and invaluable team insights about subscriber relationships. She demonstrates how face-to-face interactions inform digital strategy, transforming routine list maintenance into a powerful tool for business growth. "Just as Santa doesn't need new chimneys to deliver more presents, businesses often don't need new lists to generate more revenue," McKinney explains. "They need clean lists that are meaningful… the magic really lies in reconnecting with those who already know and love you." Through strategic nurture campaign development, McKinney shows how organizations can revitalize their email lists. Her research reveals that while 25% of email lists contain inactive contacts annually, companies can recover up to 14% of these subscribers through targeted re-engagement efforts within 12 months - proving that the real opportunity often lies within existing databases.

  • How Anthropology and Technology Can Perfect Buyer Personas
    2024/12/13
    Understanding consumers beyond traditional market research metrics is important. Perfecting buyer personas requires a deeper dive, and technology can help. On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO Priscilla McKinney talks with guest and Glimpse Chief Strategy Officer + Chief Client Officer, Adam Bai about the evolution of buyer personas in marketing and how anthropology can perfect them. Traditionally, personas were simplistic stereotypes or basic demographic profiles. However, modern approaches focus on persona mapping and deeper attitudinal and emotional insights that go beyond surface-level characteristics. Bai explains how Glimpse, a groundbreaking human response platform, helps companies develop a more nuanced understanding of their ideal customers. For example, in their work with HubSpot, they created a persona called "Growth Gabby.” Using a growth strategy framework and surveys that privileged unstructured, open-ended responses, this approach allows for capturing rich, emotional data about potential customers' aspirations, career goals, and worldviews rather than relying solely on traditional segmentation methods. "We've transformed from being a better [market research] survey platform,” Bai explains. “[To where] the value is in the platform itself." Bai and McKinney also discuss emerging technologies of synthetic data and digital twins. He describes synthetic data as a method of reconstructing potential human responses without directly interviewing individuals. This hybrid approach helps reach hard-to-access audiences, address representation gaps, and provide cost-effective market research. Sponsors: Priscilla McKinney here!

  • Common Misconceptions About LinkedIn
    2024/12/06
    Is your LinkedIn profile working against you? On this episode of Ponderings from the Perch, the Little Bird Marketing podcast, host and CEO, Priscilla McKinney, discusses how LinkedIn serves as more than just a job-hunting platform, positioning it as a powerful tool for networking and social selling at scale. The platform's evolution from a simple job board to a comprehensive professional networking space has created unprecedented opportunities for businesses and individuals to connect, share insights, and build meaningful professional relationships. As an influencer in the space she has a lot to say about it. Behold, her social proof: She explains how developing a thought leadership strategy can transform your professional presence while advocating for quality over quantity in networking. Random connections can dilute a network's relevance, and understanding your LinkedIn Social Selling Index (LinkedIn SSI) helps measure the effectiveness of your engagement efforts. McKinney emphasizes that successful networking isn't about collecting connections like baseball cards, but rather about cultivating relationships that can lead to genuine business opportunities and professional growth. "You don't sell to your network," McKinney explains. "[Rather], you sell through your network." McKinney also talks about the importance of personal storytelling on LinkedIn, challenging the notion that the platform should only feature formal corporate content. She emphasizes maintaining an updated profile with focused skills and meaningful recommendations, while encouraging users to adopt a casual yet professional tone in their communications.
