Every time you add a new project or offering to the mix, your efforts become a bit more diluted. That doesnโt mean you should try to turn your multi-passionate heart into something itโs not and narrow your focus way down; it just means that you need to identify a clear hierarchy for your various interests so your messaging becomes clear and your target audience feels like youโre speaking to them (instead of trying to talk to everyone.)
If you have more than three products or services you offer, narrow it down to the primary three you want to highlight and then rank them in order of the value they offer to your bottom line. Whichever offering is in your #1 slot needs to become the one you focus the most of your energy toward and the one most appealing to your ideal customer.
Youโve likely been trying to speak to more than one type of specific person and that leads to a muddy marketing message. Get clear on who your customer is for that #1 offering and what makes them unique. What do they struggle with? What do they resonate with? Then, donโt be afraid to attract those people and repel people who donโt fit that mold.
This is possibly one of the biggest mistakes we see marketers make, but itโs also the easiest to fix. In your messaging, be sure that you are spending more time talking about your customer and less time talking about yourself. How does your business make their life better? What problem do you solve for them? And what is the clear outcome that they can expect if they buy your offering?
We are best friends ๐ซ and business partners ๐คwho have been at this online business gig for yearsโhim for over 10 ๐ด, her for over 5 ๐ต. We technically met on Twitter in 2010 ๐ฆ, when Caroline was just a college advertising major ๐and Jason was at the height of his first crazy entrepreneurial adventure where he earned $1,000,000+ wearing t-shirts ๐ for a living (Yes, really! Google it.๐) We've been together ever since, and we made it official by eloping on a cliff overlooking the ocean in March of 2017. ๐โฐ๐ฐ๐คต๐๐ฉ๐น๐
