Deep dives
Start with Identifying Marketable Aspects of the Business
Before diving into marketing tactics, it's crucial to identify what makes the business marketable. Clients are drawn to distinct features or experiences rather than generic qualifications or company history.
Craft Messaging Focused on the Client Experience
Craft messaging that shifts the focus from 'we' to 'you', highlighting the client's experience and benefits. Provide case studies and social proof to showcase the positive outcomes of working with the firm.
Consider Developing a Niche for Targeted Growth
Having a niche can lead to exponential growth over time, attracting clients who resonate with the specialized services offered. Repelling some clients to attract others can create a focused and loyal customer base.
Allocate Marketing Budget Strategically
When allocating marketing budget, consider reducing spending on areas like SEO and focus on channels that resonate with the target audience. Invest in content creation, social media promotions, and targeted advertising for maximum impact.
Importance of Visual Content for Online Presence
The reliance on Google for search and marketing is shifting towards more visual platforms like TikTok and Instagram, indicating a shift in consumer behavior, especially among the younger generation. Google's efforts to enhance visual content and the rise of search engines like perplexities reflect Google's vulnerabilities in its traditional search dominance.
Value of Personalized Video Content in Marketing
Investing in a content engine, such as podcasts or video channels, is essential for rapid and controlled growth in the digital age. Emphasizing video content over written material due to changing consumption patterns, creating trustworthy relationships through face-to-face interactions, and leveraging technology like Zoom for efficient client communication are crucial strategies for modern financial advisors.
