Is Your Marketing Falling Flat? Discover 7 Proven Tips to Revitalise Your Strategy
In the crowded marketplace, blending in is the kiss of death.
Yet, many businesses unknowingly use their marketing channels to do just that—blend in rather than stand out. At Bold Marketing Co., we’ve seen countless e-newsletters filled with administrative updates and uninspired sales pitches, leaving potential clients disengaged and uninterested.
Are you struggling to make your marketing efforts resonate with your target audience? Do your emails get ignored or, worse, unsubscribed from? You’re not alone. Many businesses waste their marketing budgets on content that doesn’t inspire or connect.
But there’s good news: It doesn’t have to be this way.
Let’s dive in and turn your marketing from mediocre to magnificent.
The 7-Step Fix to Improve Your Marketing
Step 1: Separate Administrative Information from Marketing Communications
Creating quality original content will set you apart from your competitors. While white-label or generic resources can be convenient, your unique material—drawn from your own experience, knowledge, and specialisations—will inspire your clients and establish you as a leader in your field. Your clients and prospective clients crave leadership and value thought-provoking insights on topics that matter to them. Effective marketing communication should not only promote your services but also provide valuable information that helps your clients thrive, building trust and demonstrating your commitment to their success.
Step 2: Identify Your Clients’ Needs
Understanding your clients’ needs is crucial in marketing. When you truly comprehend their challenges and pain points, you can create targeted marketing strategies that resonate with them on a deeper level. This not only helps in building stronger client relationships but also enhances your reputation as a brand that genuinely cares about its clients’ success.
Step 3: Highlight the Outcomes You Create for Your Clients
Clearly articulate the positive outcomes your services provide. Demonstrate how your solutions can alleviate their challenges and enhance their ability to serve their clients effectively.
Step 4: Explain Why You Do What You Do
Use your marketing communication to convey your mission and values. Explain why you do what you do, how you do it, and what clients can expect. Remember, clients often don’t know what they don’t know; your job is to help them understand the value you offer.
Step 5: Focus on Specific Issues
Stick to one specific issue within a broader matter and address those clients and prospects most affected by it. This targeted approach will resonate more personally and emotionally with your audience, prompting them to take action.
Step 6: Simplify Technical Details and Focus on Outcomes
Avoid heavy technical detail. Instead, focus on the outcomes: “If you take this action now, you will achieve this outcome, which will allow you to…”. Speaking directly to a particular type of client about a specific matter that impacts them significantly evokes a more personal and emotional response.
Step 7: Acknowledge How Clients Will Feel
Acknowledge how your clients will feel when they achieve the promised outcome—relieved, financially safe, confident, empowered. This paves the way for you to introduce the services necessary for achieving those outcomes. Clients will take action because it feels right, not just because you say so.
