Choose Attraction Marketing To Build A Customer Base

By Christine Clark


One mistake that new entrepreneurs make is assuming that everyone is interested in what they are selling. A major part of creating any marketing or promotional plan is to be realistic about the audience. Once a group and possibly a subgroup have been established, a sensible attraction marketing plan can be put into place.

It does not help to have a flashy campaign in place when there is no genuine understanding of the product and the audience that will use it. Effective presentation starts with engagement and finding a way to reach audiences so they feel they have gained something of value. Teaching them cooking hacks, how to save money, or anything to do with raising a family are just some examples that resonate with many people.

A person who is knowledgeable about the latest fashion trends not only keeps up with these facts but will use social media to promote new arrivals. Images from leading sources, interviews with designers or manufacturers, as well as articles or videos in a number of mediums. The more relevant content used to back up claims made, the chances are stronger of becoming a respected source.

Someone who runs a hair salon should not want to stop with just taking a picture of their latest creation and posting to their social media account. Additionally, they can use a few examples of hair problems their clientele may experience and come up with a solution that will lead to fewer issues. Whether it is recommending a product, changing a hair care routine, or a service performed at the salon, stating solutions people can improve brand and lead to more opportunities.

The difference here is that visual can help sell the facts. Anyone who walks into a salon with split ends and walks out with hair that looks healthy should want to know what they can do to maintain their look. When a beauty operator states simple steps in plain language, it can enhance the visual value of images posted.

It also helps to be consistent. Many of us have multiple interests and from a branding aspect, how these are introduced as part of an image takes careful consideration. Colors used, language, and presentation techniques may gradually change over time but the voice used to communicate with an audience should not vary greatly.

To be a great leader, it helps a lot to listen to clients. Listen to what is being said in reviews or buyer suggestions. In the case of the food truck, having a taste test of jackfruit tacos or introducing desserts without dairy may pay off in a big way. If there are health benefits to be gained, this should be mentioned in the display marketing or promotional materials.

Once a person has established themselves as an expert, they may be invited to participate in a number of business opportunities. Some methods are great for growing an audience and others may lead to a nice income stream. All this starts with having something worthy to offer and making it something that not only appeals to a particular audience but makes them feel better about being loyal to a specific brand.
