How to Advertise a Small Business | DailyVee 537

- Marketing and running a business is about having a good deal on your media, spend your efforts and your time, not if something's-- Yeah! You got your perspective. (crowd cheers) I just wanna be happy, don't you wanna be happy? (upbeat music) Hey vlog, this Sasha group thing is just gonna be really fun. Like, the great pleasure of my professional career was helping build a business for my parents. Obviously in the micro of that was building a small business. And guess what, building Vayner Media's a small business, zero to 200 million, that's a small business. It's really hard to help small businesses spend a 100,000 a year 'cause they're scared shitless to spend 100,000. It is a lot to spend when you're like taking home 80,000 in your salary but a lot of them are spending 72,000 on Google and direct mail and the Yellow Pages and the Chamber of Commerce and all this stuff that, it's not dead, it's just not a good deal. Gonna make a little clip here but you can keep in the vlog. There's a big difference between something being dead and something not being a good deal. The actions you're running your business with, whether it's Yellow Pages or direct mail or even Google AdWords for a lot of people is not a good deal anymore as it used to be. To me when I think about marketing or what I'm about or why I'm pushing you to post organic content on Instagram right now and run ads on Instagram is 'cause I think in nine years Instagram's not gonna be a good deal. It'll still be here, guess what, Myspace is still here. Marketing and running a business is about having a good deal on your media, spend your efforts and your time, not if something's dead or alive. This is in the margins, arbitrage. Is it worth it today, February, 2019? Are your actions worth it today? Or did they work in 2003 and you're just on that repetitive shit.

So, from my standpoint it's like, why wouldn't you use tools that are available to you to drive your business? Social to me is a slang term for the current state of where people spend their time on the internet, which is all about attention, right, like what's the purpose of these ads? Like, awareness or attention is, that's the best part about the Superbowl, right? It is going to get consumed, whether on YouTube the week before, whether during the game, whether the next day, this is going to get consumed, so that's exciting. I actually think brands should really consider not showing it on YouTube, like, for five years I was all about showing it on YouTube and now I'm wondering if for next year maybe they shouldn't because some of the surprise elements are being eliminated during the game and I'm just kind of like feeling like, is this the moment? Like, is this a tipping point where you want to pull back? But it all leads to the biggest punchline which is, these are businesses that are trying to drive business and this is one of the opportunities at their disposal. This is a cultural event, we're having an event, a business event, around it. We don't do that for the Grammys or the Oscars or the NBA Finals. So to me, what do I think about it? I think anybody who doesn't have a robust strategy to do creative and media amplification on the platforms that dominate our mobile devices is in outer space in 2019. - Does creative really matter, you know, for the Super Bowl? - Creative is the variable of success. Did it inspire or make you think that you want to consider and then buy these products? So, you know, a lot of people know that I have a big passion for volume of content, quantity, which our industry believes means not quality which I think is silly, but I, for the whole decade that I've been in this industry, continue to preach that the creative is the variable so yes, I do believe it. - Super Bowl ads, one final point, Gary. - Buy them. (laughs)
