In the age of social media marketing, it’s the holy grail for nearly every brand and business looking to spread the word about their existence and their offerings: the viral social media post. And here at TBA Outdoors, in a blog article titled “Chasing ‘Virality’: 5 Tips to Help Your Next Video Go Viral on Social Media,” we’ve shared our insights on achieving viral marketing status with your brand’s online videos before.

Did you know that, businesses leveraging data-driven personalization in their marketing campaigns experience a five to eight times higher return on investment for their marketing dollar than businesses that don’t? This staggering statistic underscores the transformative impact of integrating data and analytics into your outdoor enthusiast brand’s marketing strategy.

When it comes to attracting prospective customers to your active lifestyle brand’s website or e-store, it’s hard to find many tactics that top paid search marketing. After all, the tactic is geared toward connecting your brand with consumers who have already demonstrated an interest (via their search habits and other online activities) in what your brand offers. And as a side benefit, it also tends to strike while the iron is hot, reaching consumers at just the right time — when they’re actively looking to buy what you’re selling.

For outdoor-focused brands with target audiences that include hunters, anglers, hikers, campers and other outdoors enthusiasts, leveraging retail media networks has long been a tried-and-true method for connecting with consumers closer to the point of sale. And — from sponsored displays in outdoor gear stores to strategically placed advertisements with specialty active lifestyle retailers and more — these tactics have long proven effective at influencing buyer decisions at this critical point in the purchase journey.

When it comes to making the right marketing decisions for your outdoor brand, going with your gut can work … on occasion.
