THE BIG SMALL BUSINESS MARKETING TRENDS REPORT FOR 2025

Most small businesses prioritize unpaid social media, social media ads, and search advertising for marketing, but many miss out on key opportunities like search engine optimization (SEO). Customer referrals are the top lead source, especially for businesses with 10 or fewer employees. AI is widely used for content creation and other tasks, but there are risks in relying too heavily on it. Despite economic challenges, many businesses plan to maintain or increase their marketing budgets in 2025. Smaller businesses with limited budgets need to focus on high-impact marketing strategies to maximize their returns.

THE STARBUCKS EFFECT: USE NAMES, NOT ORDER NUMBERS

Using customer names instead of order numbers can enhance customer satisfaction and brand preference, especially in businesses with a personal touch. Research shows people have stronger preferences for businesses that call out their names rather than using numbers. The effect works best in human interactions but disappears when orders are fulfilled by non-human entities, such as software. However, using names may backfire when customers are purchasing embarrassing products. Cultural differences and efficiency concerns, such as in collectivist cultures or when writing names is more complex, could affect the approach's effectiveness.

BEAUTY BRANDS COULD USE A SONIC GLOW-UP

Many beauty and personal care brands are missing opportunities to leverage sound in their branding strategies. Old Spice stood out, ranking first for its consistent use of a recognizable sonic logo in 88% of its content and for employing custom music in campaigns like "Farewell, Teenage Me." Other top brands using sonic logos include Lux, Degree, and Lancôme. Brands like e.l.f. and Gillette rank lower due to an inconsistent use of sonic assets. Brands often prioritize influencer content over building a cohesive sonic identity.
