Stop the Scroll: A social Media podcast with Heidi Schmidt - Social Media and Content Marketing Advice for small business owners and solopreneurs looking to win online

How many ways do you market your business?

Are you relying solely on social media?
Fun fact: 49% of consumers discover businesses through offline sources.

If you’re not already, you should integrate offline marketing channels such as networking, print marketing, and public relations into your overall marketing strategy.
Today, we’re sharing practical tips to ensure your business thrives even when social media isn't the sole focus.

So, let’s dive into some online and offline strategies to help get you in front of the right people at the right time.
