Marketing – it’s growing a brand; it’s spreading word of mouth; it’s capturing leads; it’s conversion; it’s retention – it’s a lot of pressure.

Between writing blog posts, growing your social media channels, and creating your next lead magnet, it’s easy to lose sight of your main goal: customer acquisition.

Not to mention how best practices change every six months with algorithm updates and new “we’re the Uber of X!” apps.
To help you get by, I’ve compiled a list of trusted resources that cover the whole customer acquisition journey. From reaching new customers to converting them and keeping them happy, I’ve got you covered.
Don’t thank me just yet – you’re doing all the hard work – there’ll be a lot of reading to do.

So if you want to reach your potential customers, you need to be on social. Everybody knows that, and everybody’s doing it. But few see great results.
To see real ROI from your social media efforts, you need a strategy. This ebook helps marketers who want to get more out of social media than a few retweets.
You’ll learn how to measure success on social media and how to achieve it with easy-to-adopt strategies.
With visual content being all the rage in social media marketing, Instagram is a great place to reach new audiences and tell your brand story visually.

After you pull new audiences in through social media, emailing is one of the best ways to convert them into customers.
In this Better Than Ultimate guide, Aaron Orendorff breaks down a clear, step-by-step strategy to help you build an email list.

In this 94-page retargeting guide, Klientboost and Invoca share 33 different types of retargeting campaigns that they run for their own clients and how you can run them too.
But it’s easy to get caught up in “lead generation and conversion land” which is all glitz, glamor, and bling bling, and leaving all the retention work to your overburdened support team.
But retention is part of a marketer’s job. At the very least, it should be a joint effort with your support team.
You brought those leads in, you gotta see them through, right?
