It's the little things really.

We've put in the work to define the audience, make sure the message speaks to them, and show up where they're at.

Now, we sit back, watch, and tweak according to results.

I always say marketing is a mix of science and art.

Some dates just stick with you. 🗓️

February 12th keeps showing up in my journey with Ama Marketing, and I'm taking it as a sign that we're on the right path.

→ 8 years ago today, I started my Master's in Strategic Marketing
→ Last year, we started in Tahlequah Regional Development Authority and Cherokee Nation's Innovation Hub Small Business Bootcamp
→ This year, I'm diving deep into AI to bring even more value to the small businesses I serve

Every February 12th reminds me why I do this: growing alongside my clients, sharpening my skills, and finding new ways to help small businesses thrive.

What milestone date means something special in your business journey?

I love all the resources that this community pours into it's small business owners.

Last week's Small Business Summit was another wonderful example.

It was an honor to serve on a panel alongside Josh Hutchins Attorney at Law and discuss the day-to-day ways we use AI in our businesses.

I hope everyone in attendance took away some nuggets of knowledge that they are easily able to implement.

I've had several conversations with clients recently about AI search results.

I found this study on preferences for using a search engine vs. AI from Neil Patel, and I found it very thought-provoking.

Most people still prefer using a traditional search engine, which shows that SEO still matters.

In fact, "87% of ChatGPT Pro and Plus users still prefer Google for search."

Taking that into account when you're creating your marketing strategy is key.

Here's a little Monday humor.

Any one that knows me, knows that I have strong feelings about the em dash, ellipses, and other punctuation. My heart hurts that ChatGPT is trying to claim the em dash as it's own. I also refuse to give up my em dash for fear over being dismissed as AI writing.

I encourage every business owner to write in a voice that feels like their own. If using AI, please edit and modify as necessary to not lose that. Your authenticity is what sets you apart from other businesses.

Enjoy the videos and music you love, upload original content, and share it all with friends, family, and the world on YouTube.

The Ama Marketing Solutions website got a makeover!

We quietly shifted over to the new design. I took my own advice and didn't let perfection be the enemy of good.

That said, we're still working out some kinks.

If you've submitted a form in the past few days, they weren't working. The problem has been resolved.

Go over, poke around, and subscribe to the newsletter that will be debuting soon.
