Here's a thought to
ponder... Take a guess at how most people make up
their minds when presented with a challenging
question? Most folks believe they use their brains
to contemplate and consider potential outcomes, pros and
cons, ramifications of not doing something, and the
like. However, since we are spiritual beings (if I
may even talk about this aspect of humanity), we more
often than not make our decisions using our hearts and not
our brains. Yep. Emotions seem to magically trump logic,
and for a very valid reason. Ultimately, we are
making a connection (or possibly not connecting) with that
''thing'' being considered. This even includes the
decision to buy a product or service being offered by
another.
Hopefully by now you can see where this conversation
is going. We are talking about Marketing. And,
if we can all agree - even just a little - that our hearts
have this special power over our brains then it is
probably in our best interest to leverage (but not take
advantage of) this connection. Right?
So how do we do this? It's easy actually. And no
trickery is needed. All one has to do is take into
consideration the potential buyer's wants and needs when
trying to package and promote your product or
service. Make a connection! Show me you
understand what's it's like to walk a day in my shoes and
how your product or service can help make my day and my
life easier. Don't give me a list of the 10 thousand
things it can do. Tell me how it is going to help me.
That's it.
This is also not a new marketing method by any means,
but it is one that requires more work be done on the
seller's part to learn more about the needs of their
buyers before starting any new marketing campaign. A much
overlooked method if you ask us. If you do this one
thing you will not just increase your sales you will be
providing a loftier service to help out another human
being.

serve however we can, from strategizing new ideas to
tactically bring those ideas to life. Call us, we'd LOVE
