When you are marketing your business, you can’t help get passionate about what you do, do you?
It can be all too easy to tell all your potential clients about all your products and services, all of the time. After all, you want to make sure they know everything about what you do, don’t you?
This is a common mistake that many small business owners make. Just think about many of the high street shops are gearing up for christmas at the moment. Promotional signs up everywhere – and yet which are the shops that you decide to go in to?
If a shop window is full of messages and big red signs shouting different messages, it is confusing and you will walk by. A shop with a very clear message “50% on all stock” will attract a higher number of walk-in customers.
When marketing your own business, have the courage to promote one product and one service at a time. It may feel like you are missing out on opportunities to make a sale, but by giving your customers one message at a time, they will be clearer on what it is they need to do to “walk in to your shop”.
