How to keep going strong
This week, we share with you the marketing trends to watch, our unfiltered opinion on generative AI, and some concrete ideas for staying successful in a fast-changing environment.
How to stay the course (and even scaler) through the summer, with agile, optimized campaigns ready for Q3. π
Summer's here, F1 has come to town, and we're telling you: your marketing campaigns should be running like a Formula 1 team.
How do you do it? With :
In short, a performance engine that won't wait until September (did you see what we did there?).

While many sectors are slowing down, your campaigns can continue to work for you:
π‘ Pro tip: your best automation ideas don't come in the middle of a rush, but when your brain breathes a little. Make the most of it.
The high season may be behind you, but your best Q3-Q4 results are at stake now. CPCs rising? Don't worry: we're investing less in pure acquisition and making every lead we pay for profitable.
β‘ Near-zero marginal cost - Relaunching a customer costs you 5 to 7 times less than recruiting a new one.
ποΈ Pit stop effect - Just like in F1, a small adjustment (personal e-mail, bundle offer, upsell) puts your customer back on the track... faster than any new prospect.
π Smoothed cash flow - Automating your sequences (HubSpot, Klaviyo, ActiveCampaign) stabilizes sales during the slow season.
β
A well-segmented nurturing program can increase LTV by 20% to 30% in six months.

To put it plainly: while your competitors are enjoying the beach, let your automations do their work - your margins will thank you in the autumn.
Summer's not the time to relax, it's the time to take advantage of the calm to get ahead.
