In this episode of Mastering Local Marketing, we're exposing one of the biggest issues holding small businesses back — cloning. From identical social posts and themed taglines to look-alike ads that blend into the feed, too many businesses are copying each other instead of standing out. Matt is going to explain why "safe" marketing is actually the riskiest strategy of all and how originality creates instant attention, loyalty, and higher conversion.
You'll learn how to uncover your unique marketing DNA, use storytelling to separate your brand, and take creative risks that make customers remember you. If your ads feel flat or your engagement has stalled, this episode will help you break free from the clone factory and start creating marketing that's unmistakably you.
