Marketing is ever-present these days. We see marketing on radio, TV, on the internet, on mobile phones, inboxes and on social media. There is even advertising on movies & tv programmes and famous people sponsor brands as part of their daily life.
So we need to consider ideas for our business to ensure our marketing stand out and is seen by the genreal public and engages with our perspective audiences.
There are many ways to stand out from the pack, subject to format as mentioned above, to content, to offers and to stories you wish your brand and marketing to uphold to attract your perspectives audiences and most importantly allow them to engage with you.
As a number one rule in business is that yes businesses need to market themselves, but they have to ensure there content speaks to their perspective audience to engage and start the conversation, which ultimately leads them to buy from you in the future.
So, if you are thinking about how to stand out in marketing, these are the 3 key tips to consider: .
- Select a unique marketing strategy:
Does everyone in your industry seem to be following the same practices? Do they all market their businesses in the same way? Are you doing the same method?
If your business and its competitors follow the same marketing practices, you won’t stand out and customers won’t notice you.
Analyse what the majority of your industry is doing, then think of a way to market your business differently to the status quo. Do things in your own style and prospective customers will be naturally drawn to your organisation. - Engage your audience by relating to them:
Now that you have your audience’s attention, attract them with something that’s relevant to them.
They are searching for the resolution to a specific problem, so inform them how you can resolve it. Demonstrate to the client what the future will look like when your services are a part of their life.
When you engage potential clients, they participate in your marketing and don’t just acknowledge it in a passive fashion. This improves your chances of converting them into long term customers. - Encourage visitors to take a specific action:
Certain companies create their marketing with brand awareness in mind, advertising to their target audience who they are and what they offer.
This type of approach doesn’t usually provide a next step for the viewers to take. Due to this, brand awareness adverts don’t tend to get many results that are linked with direct sales.
Encourage visitors to perform a specific action in exchange for something. For instance, they may provide their email in exchange for a free call or estimate.
When potential customers know what your company offers and how to pursue these services, you should begin to see improved results from your marketing and sales.
