Does successful marketing go beyond selling a product or service?

Marketing is about understanding your customer’s needs, wants, and desires, and tailoring your products or services to meet them in the most cost-effective way.

How do you evoke emotion and create value for your customers

Are marketing and sales two different skill sets?

  • Selling is about persuading people to buy a product or service.
  • And marketing is about creating value for the customer, taking an holistic approach to building a brand’s reputation and customer loyalty with consistent efforts over time.

Marketing is about understanding your customer’s needs, wants, and desires, and tailoring your products or services to meet them.

As Seth Godin says:

“Marketing is no longer about the stuff that you make, but the stories you tell.”

Action:

Don’t focus on the hard sell. Instead concentrate on connecting with your customers on an emotional level and fix the problems they need to solve.

 


Building a relationship with your customers

With the rise of social media, marketing is more about building a relationship with your customers than ever before and creating a brand that resonates with them and makes them feel comfortable making a decision to work with you.

Are you missing out on opportunities to build a connection with your customers and create long-term loyalty?

Action:

Think about the brands you are loyal to. What makes you choose them over another brand? I’m guessing emotional connection. What do you look for in a brand?

 


Successful marketing goes beyond just selling a product or service

By emphasising to customers how your products or services can make their life easier and more enjoyable, you will win a loyal following of customers who not only buy into your products, but also identify with the brand and lifestyle it represents.

What do you think you sell? Feelings, or features & facts? What does your audience think you sell?

Action:

Sell feelings, not features or facts. By creating engaging and informative content that helps solve your customer’s problem (or allow them to learn something new), you will build trust and create a strong and meaningful brand that resonates with people on a deeper level.
