In Episode 110 of SIMPLE ALIEN DEEP DIVES, Doug and Stacey delve into the significance of moving beyond holiday-centric content to build deeper, year-round relationships with audiences. They introduce the concept of “Stock and Flow” content—where “Stock” represents evergreen, foundational content that reflects a brand’s core values (like Patagonia’s environmental activism), and “Flow” signifies the ongoing, day-to-day content that keeps audiences engaged (such as Buffer’s consistent social media tips). They discuss the pitfalls of focusing solely on holiday marketing, highlighting issues like market saturation and perceived inauthenticity, noting that 68% of consumers feel bombarded by holiday promotions. By exploring unique examples like Japan’s Kawasaki Halloween Parade, they illustrate alternative ways to engage audiences authentically. Emphasizing the use of unscripted content, live streams, user-generated content, augmented reality experiences, and the importance of cultural sensitivity, they underline how brands can create shareable, authentic experiences that foster genuine, lasting relationships with consumers throughout the year.
