Catch 2

Welcome to “Pirate’s Booty” – a curated stash of local marketing news and content for your reading pleasure.


We haven’t had an update on the proposed TikTok ban for a while. So I figured I’d share this article that announced a delay on the ban until September at least.

If you use TikTok at all for business or fun, this may interest you:

TikTok Ban Delayed Again, Will Remain Active Until September

Continuing the trend of short-form video content…

YouTube just announced that it hit 200 BILLION daily views for “shorts” format. Wowza, that’s a lot of views. 

Just more reason to embrace short form content for marketing. And if you want the details, you can dive in here:

Local Power Play: Sneaky Way To Flip The Script And Get Prospects Begging To Talk To YOU

In Las Vegas we have tons of solar salespeople that knock on your door and try to get you to sign up.

And I've talked to a lot of people that find it annoying.

Even if they want solar—they don't want to be disturbed and they certainly don't want to be sold to.

Which is why “old school” types of prospecting like cold calling is so hard.

Yes, it can work.

But it also has you chasing down leads begging to chat with them. But what if there was a different way? Where instead, you could flip the script and have them begging to chat with you?

Well that is what we discussed on this week's Aloha Friday Local Marketing Jam Session.

During it, I revealed how we set up “greased chute systems” that have clients slipping and sliding all the way down and naturally leading to sales.

The replay is up now and you can view it here:

Tom Gaddis

Attended the School of Hard Knocks. A former restaurant manager in Oklahoma, Tom always wanted to be self-employed and free from the butt-smooching of the corporate world. He wanted success bad enough that he picked up his family, including two small children and moved to beautiful Maui, Hawaii. Starting from zero, Tom embarked on building a local marketing consulting business. And promptly fell on his face! It seems Hawaiians were lovely people, until you tried to sell them something! But he persevered and learned from his mistakes. Today he's arguably one of the most successful in his niche and expecting to grow over 100% this year alone.
