Market to your customer, not to yourself!

Are you marketing through your own lens or to your target audience? Are you ensuring your advertising resonates with your ideal customers, or are you letting personal biases skew your strategy? This episode dives into the importance of focusing your marketing efforts on your audience's preferences rather than your own inclinations. Discover how to gather insights effectively and why adapting your message is critical to attract the right clients.

Listen to this new 5-minute episode for strategies to fine-tune your marketing efforts and ensure they align perfectly with your target audience’s needs and interests.

Episode Summary:

In this episode of the Wedding Business Solutions podcast, I delve into the importance of marketing to your customer, not to yourself. Fresh from publishing From Browsing to Booking with Brian Lawrence, I share insights on how wedding professionals often fall into the trap of using their own tastes to guide their marketing strategies, which can lead to misguided efforts. I discuss how crucial it is to understand your target audience—whether they're Gen X, Millennials, or Gen Z—and shape your marketing to resonate with them. I also talk about my use of AI tools like ChatGPT to refine content for specific demographics and the ongoing process of validating marketing approaches through customer feedback and research. Tune in to learn practical tips for better aligning your marketing with your audience's needs and preferences.
