If you’re like most advisors, your phone might not ring as much as it once did, but your email inbox is likely filling up. According to McKinsey Global Institute, the typical professional receives an average of 120 emails per day and spends nearly a third of their workday writing or responding to messages.
It can be daunting to come up with a daily schedule for your marketing when you’ve got so many channels available. You’ve likely asked yourself: How do I come up with a daily task list that serves my broader goals? When should I post on social media? How often should I engage? Am I blogging enough?
Trends in marketing are always evolving, and there’s been no exception to that in 2023. From the effects of the Securities and Exchange Commission’s marketing rule to advancements in AI, there are new ways for advisors to think about their marketing and find opportunities in it.
Seemingly overnight, a standout new platform has emerged in the social media landscape. Threads, the latest release from Facebook and Instagram parent company Meta, blew past industry expectations and acquired over 100 million users in under a week.

As a financial advisor, you know your website is critical to your online presence. It’s the foundation of your marketing, serving as the home base where prospects and clients find you.
When you talk to clients, they want to know that you are actually talking to them personally. They don’t want to be part of a blanket email campaign that’s not taking their daily lives into account.
Video is undoubtedly one of the most powerful marketing tools. In fact, research from HubSpot shows that 54% of consumers want to see more video content from the brands and businesses they support.
