Google AMP - New Kid On The Block.
Phone Apps - New Target for Target Marketing.
Trends Add Energy to Their Building Waves!

Not everything will be new in 2016. Some things that we saw blossom in 2014 and 2015 will grow beyond what we expected.

Molly will be giving us the "insider's view" of the new Google AMP, and a few tidbits of Googley stuff.

We will also ask the question to my SMMS Panel, and the audience - "Has Facebook effectively stepped up its marketing game?" I, for one, want to know.

They say that "phone apps" will be a "must have" for businesses this year. With the majority of businesses still not having websites (over half...), and apps being possibly more cost effective, can businesses skip the website and move toward app-only campaigns?

These are some of the questions we will ask this Saturday, January 2nd, in the first Saturday Morning Marketing Smarties event for 2016.

Are there subjects we're missing? We plan to have epis on Google Collections, Google Adwords, and other more advanced concepts. However, please remember that this show is geared to curating the online world of new ideas and trends that are of significant value to the "startup entrepreneurs" and small business owners who are attempting to wisely invest in promoting their businesses and brands, often on limited or no budgets. Those with no budgets end up having to DIY-it to get going, and must find the few things that will make a difference on the precious time available. 

Low-Hanging Fruit are not always easy to find in every category of product and service offerings. Especially today, having a website is just the development of a "hub" for additional outreaches. Yet, most surveys report that MAYBE just over half of small businesses even have one. 

So, is there a "magic bullet" for 2016?

Let's see if we can figure it out, as Marketing Smarties gather to discuss what's new on the menu and trends list for the New Year.

Leading the conversation will be me, Roland of R and D Hotline, and sponsor of Saturday Morning Marketing Smarties.
