This newsletter is a culmination of my experiences and passion for marketing, productivity, entrepreneurship, and leadership.

Thank you for joining me on this journey!

Who Am I?

My name is Sheldon Payne, and I'm the President of Newfound Marketing. With over 20 years in the marketing industry, I've had the privilege of working with numerous clients, ranging from startups to Fortune 100 companies like Chevrolet and Hewlett Packard, helping them achieve their marketing goals and scale to new heights.

In addition to my professional journey, I am deeply invested in personal productivity, entrepreneurial ventures, and leadership development. My mission is to share actionable insights and strategies that can help you succeed in these areas.

I also enjoy getting perspectives from others so there will be times when I look to you and your network for inspiration and advice.

Marketing Mastery: Holiday Digital Marketing Success: Start Planning Now

As much as we are in the middle of summer (July at the time of posting), the holiday season is just around the corner, and it’s the perfect time to start planning your digital marketing strategy to ensure a successful end of the year.

In my upcoming editions, I'll be sharing some tips and strategies for retailers to get the most out of Holiday Marketing from optimizing your website to making the most of your email marketing campaigns.

Like every great plan, begin your holiday digital marketing plan by setting clear objectives. Here are some of the questions you should ask yourself:

• What is the primary objective we want to achieve through our holiday marketing initiatives? (For example, drive more online and/or in store sales.)
• What are the secondary objectives we want to achieve through our holiday marketing initiatives? (For example, drive traffic to the website, create brand awareness, and/or grow our social media audience.)

These are just a few examples to start you off, but be sure to think about you and your specific business goals, and set clear objectives with all of this in mind.

Productivity Tip: The Pomodoro Technique

Struggling to stay focused? The Pomodoro Technique might be just what you need. Break your work into 25-minute intervals (Pomodoros) followed by a short break. This method can help enhance concentration and prevent burnout.

Personally, I'll use my phone or watch to set up my Pomodoros.

How I Can Help

If you are feeling like you’re in a constant battle with Digital Marketing, struggling to see the returns you envisioned? You’re not alone in this struggle, but it doesn’t have to be your story.

Instead of mastering everything yourself, I provide bespoke guidance and strategies tailored to your needs. As a digital marketing consultant, I can empower you to take control, offering support in Paid Media, SEO, Email Marketing, and Analytics to allow you to focus on business growth.

If this feels like you or your team, send me a DM and we can schedule a 30-minute chat.

Thank you for reading the first edition of PaynesBrain Perspectives. I'm excited to embark on this journey with you and look forward to sharing valuable insights and stories in the months ahead.

Feel free to reach out with any feedback or topics you'd like to see covered in future editions.

Until next time,

Sheldon.

For those who know me, you will know that writing is not one of my superpowers (I consider myself more of an ideas person). As much as AI is now a part of our marketing fabric, I will be using AI to help me express my ideas. However, I will be trying my best to use this medium to improve my writing so there will be an occasional grammatical error or two throughout.
