So how can you make your clients and customers want to buy? You can start refining your small-business marketing message if you:
Understand who does business with your company and who might want to buy from you in the future. Really, dive deep into market research to understand the budget, habits, and ideas of your customers. Where do they live? What are their hopes and goals? What do they want?
Once you know who your customers are, put yourself in their shoes. What problems does your service or product solve? How does your company help your customers? Any marketing message you develop should speak directly to your target audience and address what they want from you.
Look at the marketing messages the competition sends out. What makes your company different? How can you make your message or offering unique? Your audience is more likely to remember you if you stand out.
When it comes to your marketing message, more is not always better. Always convey your idea in the shortest and clearest way possible. Trim words. Clarify. Run your message by everyone you can and tweak it until whoever looks at your brand understands exactly what you do, the benefits you offer and what makes you different.
Figure out whether you want your marketing message on websites, ads, in print, on social media or on other platforms. If you have multiple platforms, you may need to have a few versions of your marketing message, including shorter versions for social media.
