Focus On The Customer - That's How You Win

In this episode of The Headless Marketing Show, we are talking about the importance of the Frontend. Our guest Michael C Lamb talks about what he sees a lot of companies miss. They have company experiences and not customer experiences. He sees many firms deploy experiences with all these things put up in front of the user that doesn't bring value to the customer and that causes friction. What is the Frontend?The frontend is anywhere your brand interacts directly with your customers. Social media channels, email, websites, landing pages etc. Michael didn't mince words. Customers don't care about what database you are using, your CRM, or your CMS. None of that stuff matters to them. They care about finding good reliable and valuable information that they need to make good decisions. They care about the experience. Is it easy to work with a brand or is it endless popups and forms and poor content and low-quality experiences? We talked at length about the attention data we should be watching and changing the way we manage our KPIs. Likes, Impressions, page views, and email submissions don't really drive revenue. We should be tracking how customers use the experience. We should be tracking how our frontend is connected to our pipeline and revenue. Using those kinds of KPIs puts a lot more focus on the customer. Focus On The Customer - That's How You WinIn his final piece of advice, Michael summed up the whole episode nicely and we have our title for the show! Enjoy a deeper dive into making better experiences for your customers. Changing your mindset in how you go about setting up experiences and measuring experiences and keeping the frontend the most important element of your experiences. Who Is Michael C.

Today on The Headless Marketing Show we are chatting with Jacob Byers about why he loves headless CMS. Jacob was a marketer turned developer when addressing technical issues that companies face when being competitive online.

That was until discovering the Jamstack. Now his business Ohmni is able to use modern technologies that are scalable in nature. Allowing businesses to run their website as part of a larger omnichannel. While giving a cleaner user experience that people expect from the web. We tackle the basic ideas of what the Jamstack and Headles CMS are and how it helps developers and marketers be successful. Other topics of conversation are the issues of technical debt that comes from monoliths like WordPress. Why there can be friction in approaching websites from the Jamstack and the need for digital maturity. All in all this was a fun conversation about headless cms and the reasons to consider using this new approach for marketing and user experience online. Visit with Jacob on LinkedIn or on his website!

Exploring Jamstack: The future of the web?

What is the Jamstack? Here on The Headless Marketing Show we talk a lot about headless CMS and what marketing can benefit from using a headless CMS - these are techy topics and they require a different approach to how you build a website. Enter the Jamstack. On today's show, we'll listen to Brian Rinaldi discuss and explain what the Jamstack is. Simply put the Jamstack is a new way of building and deploying websites and web experiences. It is all about decoupling the website away from monolithic systems and decentralizing the stack with "best in breed microservices" and then re-coupling and pre-building the entire front end. For a lot more details on this feel free to check out these links. Jamstack.org - What is the Jamstack Webriq.com - It is time to drop WordPress and Migrate to the Jamstack Why is the Jamstack important? As we discuss on the show this is a pretty big change to how websites and web experiences are built. In many ways, it is a big update to the systems and procedures many web developers use to build websites and web experiences. For this reason, Jamstack has become immensely popular in development communities. It is easier for developers to build and maintain complex things on the Jamstack than on older server-based tools like WordPress or Drupal and it is much more modern in the way it relates to Javascript and APIs. For marketers, this all matters because the Jamstack makes it much easier to break out of templates and older slower development cycles. It gives WAY more creative control back to the marketing team to be able to build experiences that customers are looking for. In the show, we discuss how older systems come with a lot of constraints and choke-points, and complications that go away when using the Jamstack. Other Jamstack Resources Brian Rinaldi offers a great monthly newsletter called Jamstacked - Sign up HERE - while geared towards developers there is a lot of good and interesting information in each newsletter and the level of detail is high. He has also published two books on the subject of Jamstack -both promise to be very beneficial to anyone looking to learn more. Book One - The jamstack Book Book Two - Exploring Jamstack Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
