How to Increase the Reach of Your Marketing Message
Are You Communicating Your Marketing Message Through Memorable Images or Text?
Austin, TX: Is your marketing message missing its mark?
Are you providing tons of charts and graphs, biographies of your key members footnotes, and boring text to back of your marketing features or benefits–without first hitting home with your message in a clear and concise way?
Are you assuming that people will be fascinated by your deep research on a topic- without first reeling them in with a provoking statement or question?
If so– it is time to STOP communicating through boring facts and START communicating with stories.
A simple graphic and a sentence says it all.
If that is not enough to grab the readers, then they were not interested in the message in the first place– so they are not your target audience.
But you do not want to miss out on reaching the largest number of people in your target audience with your marketing message.
Marketing guru Seth Godin says that you need to be remarkable. Not remarkable like incredible–but remarkable in getting others to remark about your message.
If your marketing message is getting lost or not hitting home with your desired audience, perhaps it is time to simplify it.
I can provide charts and facts about every imprinted power charger or selfie stick we carry – or I can brand my message in: 24 Hour Quick Ship Promotional Tech Swag.
