Breaking Silos To Break Bank: Shattering The Divide Between Search And SocialNavah Hopkins
At Mozcon 2024 I shared this deck on bridging the divide between search and social. We began by acknowledging that search-first marketers are used to different rules of engagement than social marketers. We also looked at how both channels treat creative, audiences, bidding/budgeting, and AI. We finished by going through how they can win together including UTM audits, harvesting comments from both to inform creative, and allowing for non-login forums to be part of your marketing strategy.

From Hope to Despair: The Top 10 Reasons Businesses Ditch SEO Tactics
Are you tired of seeing your business's online visibility plummet from hope to despair? When it comes to SEO tactics, many businesses find themselves grappling with challenges that lead them to abandon their strategies altogether. In a digital landscape that's constantly evolving, staying on top of SEO best practices is crucial to maintaining a competitive edge.
In this blog, we delve deep into the top 10 reasons why businesses ditch SEO tactics, uncovering the pain points that may resonate with you:
1. Algorithm Changes: The ever-changing algorithms can leave businesses feeling like they're chasing a moving target. Search engines like Google frequently update their algorithms to improve user experience and provide more relevant search results. However, these updates can significantly impact your website's visibility and ranking if you're not prepared.
2. Lack of Results: Investing time and resources without seeing tangible results can be disheartening. The absence of immediate results often leads businesses to lose faith in their SEO strategies. It's important to remember that SEO is a long-term game that requires patience and consistent effort.
3. Technical Challenges: From site speed issues to complex metadata implementation, technical hurdles can be daunting. Overcoming these challenges is crucial for SEO success, as technical issues can hinder your website's performance and user experience.
4. Keyword Competition: Fierce competition for top keywords can make it hard to rank effectively. Businesses often struggle to find the right balance between targeting high-traffic keywords and finding less competitive, niche keywords that can still drive significant traffic.
5. Lack of Understanding of SEO Basics: Many businesses dive into the complex world of SEO without fully grasping the fundamental principles. This lack of understanding can lead to several issues:
Keyword Awareness: Failing to recognize the importance of keyword research and targeting the right keywords in content.
On-Page Optimization: Ignorance regarding crucial on-page elements such as meta tags, headers, and content structure.
Technical SEO Best Practices: Overlooking essential aspects like site speed, mobile responsiveness, and crawlability.
Backlinks: Not understanding the value of high-quality backlinks from reputable sources.
Analytics: Failing to track and analyze data prevents businesses from optimizing their SEO efforts effectively.
6. Unrealistic Expectations and Timeframe: Entrepreneurs often fall prey to the allure of quick fixes and overnight success. Unrealistic expectations can overshadow the reality of the time and effort needed to see tangible results in the highly competitive digital landscape. SEO is a long-term strategy, and setting realistic goals is crucial for success.

Editor's Notes
The modern woman incorporates her style not only into her wardrobe but also into her home décor. Carrie Bradshaw, voice of the 21st century woman, once mused, “I’m cheating on fashion with furniture.” This quote inspired us to fuse clothing with how we approach our Threshold products in order to make them relevant and modern. Julie Guggemos, our Threshold designer, approaches our products each season with a theme in mind, much like how fashion designers approach each season.
-Fashion culture has been prominent over the past few years
-Increase in attention to fashion trends due to social media and blogs
-Ideas and inspiration have become more accessible to average consumer
-Bridging gap between brand and consumer

We know that target guests are fashion conscious

Thank you, Andrea. When looking at Threshold we performed a SWOT analysis to evaluate the brand’s strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats as they stand now. After examining these internal and external observations we were able to come up with, what we found to be, Threshold’s strongest marketing opportunity.
Looking first at Threshold’s strengths, we found that the best part of Threshold truly is it’s collection. The pieces that are offered are affordable, trendy, unique and most importantly, designed with the consumer in mind. From absorbent, bleach-free towels to kid-friendly faux-china dishware, Threshold has managed to truly merge quality with design. A blogger remarked that ”it has the trendy unmatched feel that upscale designers offer, but at the Target ‘pay less’ price.” The products also have the benefit of being widely available at the nearly 1,800 Target locations in the USA as well as online. With products that are stylish, useable, affordable and convenient, Threshold’s value is undebatable.
Now looking at some of the brand weaknesses, we see that Threshold is one of Target’s 16 sub-brands. While this association is positive, it also means that Threshold has to compete against outside competitors, as well as for attention within Target. In stores it is displayed next to the many other Target home décor lines that are offered, including the Nate Burkas line and their “best” line Fieldcrest. Due to space limitations, the in-store displays are limited and it’s difficult for customers to visualize some of the bigger products in terms of size and quality. Threshold items are scattered across the home goods sections of stores, and not located in such a way that guests can browse through the products together easily. While there is a positive brand association, there is relatively low brand awareness and recognition for Threshold, especially compared to its big-name competitors.

Shorten - Affordable, stylish, functional
Next we reviewed the opportunities that were present for the brand. Being that Threshold is a sub-brand of Target, there is the opportunity to tap into a huge existing customer base of Target guests. For these customers and others, there is the unique opportunity to raise awareness of an already positive brand image. There is a gap in the home goods market in appealing to busy, but style-conscious value-seekers. Because Threshold has affordable, trendy products in convenient locations, it is a brand perfectly poised to fill this gap.
The main threat that Threshold faces in the market is the amount of competition that exists. There are many options for mid-range home décor and Target is just one of many stores offering multiple home good lines. Because of the numerous options that exist, there is the potential for Threshold to get lost in the crowd or come across as a “me too” brand in its marketing. For this reason, we recognized the need to think outside of the box and focus on more than just the superior product Threshold offers.
is gap with the proper marketing.
As discussed, Threshold’s biggest strength lies with its superior products. They are unprecedented examples of style, design, value and functionality. The struggle is in differentiating what Threshold has to offer in the crowded world of home décor, and even more importantly making the consumer aware of what it has to offer. For this reason, we decided that our biggest opportunity was in the lack of current awareness and the consumer power of our potential customers. We have decided to pursue a two-pronged plan focused on awareness for new customers and engagement to create loyal Threshold buyers. By focusing our target, there is the opportunity to create Threshold customers out of existing Target guests and Target guests out of new Threshold customers.
Faye will now introduce the target audience that we will focus on.
Our target audience is “Aspiring Home Stylists.” Although previously it seemed as if Threshold had primarily focused upon young moms and redecorating efforts within their homes, we’re looking to move forward not only with moms but also reach the young, college graduate who just moved out of her parents’ house and looking to make her space her own.
When we think of the quintessential Threshold guest, we’re thinking demographically: ages 25-40, female, and has an innate sense of style.
“so lets meet some of these stylish homeowners….could be rachael, laura, chloe…”
What do all of these women have in common? They are style-minded but budget conscious; they’re all looking to incorporate their own personal flair into their (sometimes limited) spaces. Despite all being at different stages in their lives, each of these women represent the quintessential Threshold guest who is always on the hunt for quality and design.
And now Jackie will speak on the message we will utilize to reach our Threshold guests.
Keeping in mind our target guest and brand opportunity, our goal was to create a message that incorporated both functionality and fashion forward thinking. Our message is “Style your space.” Through our campaign we hope that the idea of “style your space” encourages our guests to embrace the unique qualities and design that threshold has to offer.
Strategy: Increase Threshold Brand Awareness for new guest, while encouraging our current guests to become more integrated with our products and new services with improved engagement tactics.

Aimee Song of Song of Style
One of the most popular fashion bloggers – who happens to be an interior designer
Has a strong following of her fashion and design ideas4 million monthly views
We’ve singled out 2 fashion bloggers who we believe will appeal to the aspiring home stylist – to start creating buzz and awareness for Threshold – they have to be brought into Threshold (meet with designer, ect – be more favorable to Target)
Based on the trends we observed, our team envisioned that the best way to display Threshold is with a Fashion show. We decided to give our furniture the “model treatment.” Our stylish display and runway will be nationally broadcasted and provide a platform for performances that will ensure high press coverage. This display is an innovative performance showcasing Threshold’s home décor line.
And what better way to get to the Fashion Show then Driving our own Cross Country Fashion truck? We envision a portable showroom that will display a variety of Threshold pieces. The truck is intended to supplement in-store displays, which are limited due to floor space. This will give new guests the opportunity to truly experience Threshold and see the many ways they can incorporate the products into their home.
This all ties into our interactive Threshold app that lets you take a photo of you space and style it with a Threshold product. Giving the App guest the opportunity to uniquely designing their homes without leaving their homes. Color, style, it’s up to you. We want our guests to step across the threshold and really get to experience our products.
All these channels give us the opportunity to increase Brand recognition of Threshold for more fashion friendly consumers.
This would create the connection between home goods and furnishing, shining a light on Threshold products. Presenting the Brand during Fashion Week will get people excited about the products’ availability and quality. While our cross country fashion truck and interactive App will get our guests excited about Threshold especially because each outlet will express messages leading up to the fashion show in the Spring.
In summary, we discussed the upward trend of fashion-minded consumers looking to extend their style into home décor. Based off of this and the opportunity we established to create brand awareness, we decided to focus on a style-conscious consumer looking to claim their space. She is classy and refined, yet has a unique style completely her own and everyone who she entertains for, can see it. We are striving to both create awareness of Threshold pieces and increase engagement with guests that help them to envision those pieces in their own home. Our message is “Style your space” and we want to show guests how they can dress their home with Threshold pieces, just like they style themselves in the latest fashions. We believe that by utilizing several media channels, we will be able to do just that. We’ve proposed a unique PR campaign that ties together fashion and Threshold furniture while showcasing the latest pieces, an interactive app that lets guests visualize designs from the store or at home, and an integrated use of social and traditional media. Through these efforts, we are confidant that we can create widespread awareness of the Threshold brand within the target audience, as well as create lasting customers that stay connected to the brand. Thank you very much for your time, we will now address any questions.
