Marketing & Business Communications | Why SMBs Need a Pro on Their Side

Let’s not sugarcoat it: marketing and business communications, in 2025, is a beast.

What used to be simple—put up a website, post on Facebook, maybe toss out a monthly promo—just doesn’t cut it anymore. The digital landscape is shifting faster than your morning coffee can cool off. AI is rewriting everything. Social platforms evolve overnight. And customers? They expect more, faster, and better.

If you’re running a small to medium-sized business, you already wear a dozen hats. Marketing strategist, communications lead, social media manager? That’s a full-time role on its own—and a rapidly changing one at that.

That’s exactly why you need a marketing and business communications professional on your team—not someday. Now.

🚀 What’s Actually Trending Right Now?

Let’s break down what’s happening across the marketing & communications world (without the fluff):

  • AI-driven personalization: Emails, ads, and content tailored to each customer like never before.

  • Short-form video: 30-60 second stories on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube are dominating.

  • Authentic over perfect: People are connecting more with “real” than polished.

  • Zero-party data: Cookie tracking is fading—it’s all about getting info customers willingly share.

  • Micro-influencers & local voices: Niche is king. Smaller, engaged audiences drive more action than big, broad ones.

  • Conversational content: From smart chatbots to friendly DMs—how you talk matters.

This applies to every industry—retail, real estate, trades, healthcare, hospitality, finance, you name it.

Five Web Page Design Hacks

Web Page Hacks in Website DesignHere are some web page design hacks.
When you’re running an online business with a website, the most important way to generate more customers for your business is to drive more traffic to it — and there are lots of ways to do this.

Content Marketing, Paid Advertising, and Social Media Marketing

However, not all the visitors that land on your site will buy from you. It’s the sad fact of digital marketing. According to WordStream, a typical website conversion rate is about 2.35% on average, however, the top 25% are converting higher.

Web Page Hacks - Landing Page ChecklistThis means that for every 100 visitors your site gets, only 2 to 3 of them will make a purchase. As such, you need to focus on creating a website that is fully optimized for conversions if you are to raise your conversions to a more profitable level.

In fact, I encourage you to download my Landing Page Checklist.

Impressing Potential Customers With Some Web Page Design Hacks

Since your website is your chance to impress potential customers, here are 5 simple web page design hacks from our partners at Rebel that will help convert more of your visitors into customers.

1) Increase your white (or negative) space.
Cramming as much content as you can onto every page increases the cognitive load on your visitor, to the point that they’ll leave. Try breaking up blocks of text with bullets and imagery for a better user experience.

2) Simplify your navigation.
Only include the most important pages you’d like your visitors to click on, in the header of your website. Simplifying your nav will lead to increased conversions.

3) Use an animated call to action.
Calls to action on every page are important, but how you present them maybe even more important! One study found that using button CTAs instead of text-only CTAs increased clicks by 45%. Better yet? Incorporate subtle movement into your CTAs for an even higher conversion rate.

4) Use high-quality stock photography.
Lack of branding photos? No problem! Incorporate high-quality stock photography throughout your site for a professional and captivating user experience. When you’re done, add graphics too!

5) Add social proof.
Whether it’s product or service reviews, incorporating social proof into your site garners trust and a higher conversion rate. In fact, impactful testimonials mean that people are 58% more likely to purchase from you.

Web Page Design Hacks from Rebel
A strong digital presence is a must-have for today’s businesses. That’s because customers expect to find you online. Whether it’s a website, an e-commerce platform, a social media page or a combination of all three, getting your company online comes with major benefits.

You Never Get A Second Chance To Make A First Impression!

You know the saying: “You never get a second chance to make a first impression”; and equally, it is reasonable to say that, what your customers say about you (especially online) matters, right?

When consumers have something to say, everyone can hear it – everywhere. How good is your social media listening? Are you managing your online reviews? Why are your customers leaving? Can you discern what’s really important for your business?” ~ Cargo Digital

A First Impression Is All About ReputationFirst Impression

Your online reputation is essential and with today’s online review sites being so prevalent, the need for reputation management is crucial!

So, what is your reputation? What are people saying about you?

“It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.” ~ Benjamin Franklin

Often overlooked because of its non-tangible life within a business, the long-term reputation of perception is always at play; and perception is never a negotiation, it is always one direction in the marketplace. That direction is from the angle of the consumer.

A First Impression And Subsequent Reputation

First Impression factors are distinct and represent the actual character — or behaviour in many cases — of the company.  There have been many examples across the business landscape over the years, and there are some great lessons to learn from others’ mistakes.

“BP [learned] this the hard way. The energy giant [had] striven to portray itself as a responsible corporation that cares about the environment. Its efforts have included its extensive “Beyond Petroleum” advertising campaign and a multibillion-dollar initiative to expand its alternative-energy business. But several major events in the past [few] years are now causing the public to question whether BP is truly so exceptional.” ~ Harvard Business Review February 2007

Reputation And Brand Management

First Impression And The 4-Truths Of A World-Class Reputation

1. Business Rationale: Building and protecting corporate reputation has a direct business impact.

2. Strategy Informed by Intelligence: Most firms do not need more data; they need better intelligence from the data they get.

3. Management and Accountability: You can’t manage reputation from a corporate silo. Reputation and support are driven on a day-to-day basis by the actions and communications from people across the organization.

4 Activation: Building trust and support are done across three influencer channels: a) what people experience directly with your company, b) what you say through your marcoms, and c) what other people say about you.

Let’s talk about your reputation and how you are making a first impression. You can contact me directly here.
