In this short talk, the speaker argues that many small businesses focus heavily on social media, but this reliance leaves them vulnerable to platform algorithm changes, account shutdowns, or loss of reach. Email marketing is presented as an essential, owned asset that underpins all other marketing efforts because it captures leads and maintains a stable contact database that remains usable regardless of social platform disruptions. The speaker notes that while email marketing offers this resilience, many small businesses find the data management, strategy, and technical aspects overwhelming. Positioning themselves as a guide, the speaker emphasizes that helping businesses navigate and implement effective email marketing can make the biggest impact.

of small businesses, the piece that would have the biggest impact and they were not seeing was the email marketing, because it underpinned everything else. And so I was seeing lots of small businesses who were spending a lot of time on social media, and then they would lose their reach, or then they would get shut down, or they would get locked out or whatever, and they had nothing. And I was sort of saying, well, if you, if you have that system behind you, if you've captured your leads in email marketing, you've got that asset there that you can use, and it doesn't matter who, you know, if you get booted off YouTube, or if Facebook drops your reach again, or any of that stuff, you've got that data there, you've got those contacts that you can do things with. So I just thought that was where I could make the biggest difference. And that people found that really difficult, because there's a lot of data, there's a lot of strategy, there's, it's, it feels complicated and overwhelming. So that's what I picked really, that was the thing I thought I could help with the most. I think that's awesome.
