With CEO of It Media, Ashley Monk

“Local business to online business marketing is like night and day.”
— Ashley Monk

Is your business pandemic-proof?

This week’s guest, Ashley Monk is the CEO of It Media, a boutique digital marketing agency, and she helped dozens of clients move at least part of their businesses online in 2020.

Using Ashley’s strategies, her clients have created exciting new offers that boosted their revenue during a time when most businesses have struggled to stay afloat.

In fact, they’ve generated more monthly revenue during the pandemic than they had in previous years!

So, what goes into an online glow-up??

Ashley believes that all businesses can move at least part of their offerings or processes online – they may just need to get creative and do things a little differently.

For businesses just dipping their toes into the online waters, Ashley recommends starting with small changes and adding new ways to sell, like  letting customers pre-order online ahead of time and offering curbside pickup.

When it comes to developing bold new offers, Ashley says, “some local businesses will have to think a little bit more outside-of-the-box.”

You need to figure out what people want, even if you already have a successful brand.

You also need to figure out what you want to offer — what lights you up? What’s your zone of genius? Are there people that you’re serving right now that want that from you?

Psst! Here’s a bonus tip from Ashley: your new offer doesn’t even have to be ready in order to start getting paid — you can pre-sell and create the final touches based on the feedback from clients who’ve already bought it!
