Community! We're pivoting to leverage our community more to drive marketing for us - webinars/AMAs/fireside chats, guest content, organic social shares, etc. This was an AHA moment for us when we learned that several of our leads actually come to us via word of mouth and when our community members who have significant influence in the affiliate marketing space post about us.

SMS Marketing gets often overlooked, it can be a powerful way to engage with a mobile audience and drive action.
@aaron_morris5 That one is surely underrated in the current times.
Community Events!
Actually social networks. If you look at the real traffic of most corporate social networks and content, then there are incredible opportunities for growth.
@iren_ivashchinenko I suppose it's really still undervalued, and ultimately where people just have to spend most of their time.
Have you ever used Pinterest marketing, give it a try!

Different communities.
I'd argue that email marketing is still heavily underrated. While it might seem old school, a well-curated and personalized email list can drive significant engagement.
Podcasting specifically in Europe and Asia.
social media, especially reddit and quora
I don't think street marketing is sufficiently exploited today. By choosing the right form and the right place, it can have a big impact on the target.
Social media particularly emerging ones (eg: TikTok) - under-explored by most brands and have more opportunities than the more matured channels
BTW if you want to test out short video platforms like TikTok, Vizard can help you bulk produce social clips. Check us out! https://www.producthunt.com/prod...
@etiene_dalcol Simple, never advertise. Always give value and in exchange you will get what you want.
Marketing channel partners; they can be tough to find and secure but invaluable after the fact
Social medias. Reddit. Telegram and others.
Word of mouth (WOM). Some startups only focus on data attribution and there is so much dark attribution out there. You will surprise by the volume of actions triggered by a third-person.
Email & Reddit marketing.
word of mouth, in my opinion, remains massively underrated. it's nuanced, yes, and hard to scale, but the power in trusted recommendations from friends, peers, trusted sources - it's immense. people trust people, and that authentic connection can do wonders.
