On 3 years Ago

Every year, thousands of the world’s smartest marketers descend on San Diego, California to learn what’s new, what’s hot, and what’s actually working RIGHT NOW in digital marketing at Traffic & Conversion Summit.

Today, we’re sharing the top takeaways from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendees, so you can learn the highlights and actionable marketing strategies of the Summit.

The conference kicked off with this video:

 

From Mari Smith to Daymond John to our own Ryan Deiss, our speakers dropped some biggies throughout the conference. If you weren’t able to attend, check out what you missed. If you were, let’s recap!

The Future of Marketing

It’s no secret that marketing is changing…fast.

During his Day 2 keynote presentation, Ryan Deiss said a marketer needs several traits to be successful in today’s market:

But beyond having these traits, the modern marketer needs to keep the following in mind…

"Community is the new brand." Tweet from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendee

"Conversation is the new lead." Tweet from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendee

And to really thrive in today’s rapidly changing market, the modern marketer needs to focus on the 3 C’s:

Conversations
Community
Customers

But don’t forget, while tactics and strategies may change, the core tenets of marketing stay the same…

"Tactics come and tactics go, but digital marketing will always come down to two things: traffic and conversion." Instagram post from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendee

Messenger Marketing

To successfully market to your audience, you’ll need to start a conversation with them. Just like you would at a coffee shop. This is conversational marketing.

One way to have that conversation is through messaging bots. And it turns out, messaging is how most consumers prefer to communicate with a brand.

66% of consumers prefer to reach brands or be reached by brands via messaging. Instagram post from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendee

And using messaging will generate conversions.

Bots will help your sales team close more deals. Tweet from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendee

But remember, bots are for filtering, NOT for closing the sale. Bots are for expediting (NOT replacing) human conversation.

To remembering creating content isn’t enough. You have to create content your audience will engage with…

"Content is King...but Engagement is Queen, and she rules the house." ~Mari Smith

And to create engaging content, you need to start with an editorial calendar…

Be as diligent with your editorial calendar as you are with your taxes. ~Lindsay Marder Instagram post from Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018 attendee

Our Favorites of #TCS2018

Throughout the course of Traffic & Conversion Summit 2018, we asked attendees what their biggest takeaway was. Here are some of our favorites:

 

We even held a contest asking attendees to share their biggest takeaway in a 30-second video. Jonathan Teixeira took the grand prize of a PlayStation VR, PlayStation 4, and a ticket to Traffic & Conversion Summit 2019!

With Tatiana Buree taking home Apple AirPods and a DigitalMarketer Course of her choice…

Learning lots here at the Traffic and Conversion Summit and one of my biggest takeaways was from Ryan Deiss “Stop defining your business by the products you sell and start defining it by the people you serve”. Our customers are so important and we always need to remember this! When we take time to get to know what journey they are on and where they want help, that’s when we can add real value to their lives and in turn business will grow organically. #tcs2018 @digitalmarketer So what can you do to define your business by the people you serve?
