Hi, I thought I’d share these top-tips from my presentation on Attractive Marketing, at today’s Online Marketing Magic Event.

It’s often tricky to find time to do this but running through the checklists below will really focus your mind and make your marketing more efficient.

Attractive Marketing is… translating your unique offer into marketing that finds and keeps your customers.

Your Attractive Marketing checklist

  • Who is your ideal customer?
  • What do they really need?
  • What are you offering to meet their need?
  • Why should they buy yours?
  • Who else is using yours?
  • How happy are your other customers?
  • What’s the price?
  • Why should they buy yours…again?
  • Where do they find yours?
  • PS – Why not?

Top tips when packaging your unique offer…

  • Make it an OUT-STANDING offer – unique, compelling and highly visible.
  • Keep your CUSTOMER CENTRAL in all your communications
  • Inject your Brand PERSONALITY, that’s what they’re buying
  • Add Value to DIFFERENTIATE, don’t just discount
  • Offer a free TASTER for new customers
  • Make it INTERACTIVE, online and in-store
  • CONSISTENT Customer Experience everywhere
  • ENGAGE with your customers through all possible media
  • ENCOURAGE early-bookers with a sweetener
  • Make ONLINE a Unique experience

Good luck with your Marketing activities.

I am working with people that are too busy running their business, to spend time attracting and retaining customers. (shhhh…. that’s Marketing ;-) )
 
So I work part-time with them (e.g. 1 day/week) looking at their products from their consumer’s point of view. I’ll then extract their brand personality and convert it into an attractive marketing plan and help them implement it.
 
My aim is to quickly focus on the priority actions around their customer experience and help them refine it to improve customer satisfaction and increase revenue.
 
It could be that their website needs refining, their product message needs defining, or they simply need to use social media channels to start relating to their customers…
 
If this sounds familiar, feel free to leave a comment and we can arrange a chat about your world.
