“One Audience” Initiative

November 18, 2009

Who can you sell to right now? Every company has under-utilized audiences; pockets of potential customers that would buy from you if they heard the right message and were made the right offer.

Our “One Audience” Business Growth Initiative is a 30 day program to help you uncover that one audience that is most likely to buy from you.  The “One Audience” initiative includes:

  • Assessing market potential.
  • Reviewing your current offerings.
  • Finding the ideal audience to market to.
  • Creating the perfect message and value proposition.
  • Determining the best and most cost-effective tactics.
  • Establishing roles, timeline, and sales goals.
  • Coaching and accountability sessions throughout the process.

Our standard fee for this type of program is $3000.  However, we wanted to take our own medicine by being creative and bold, so here is our offer:

$1500 for the 30 day program +

If we help you exceed your sales goals, we receive an agreed-to performance bonus.

This offer is limited to the first 10 companies that sign agreements with us.  Of course, we are honoring exclusivity on a first-come, first served basis.

2010 Branding Trends

October 7, 2009

We came across this excellent article on MarketingCharts.com.  The article lays out 10 branding trends for 2010; with the great line, "Value is the New Black".  Be sure to read the article for yourself, but here is a re-cap of the 10 trends.
  1. Value is the new black.
  2. Brands are increasingly a surrogate for value.
  3. Brand differentiation is brand value.
  4. “Because I said so” is over.
  5. Consumer expectations are growing.
  6. Old tricks don’t - and won’t - work anymore.
  7. Consumers won’t need to know a brand to love it.
  8. It’s not just buzz.
  9. Consumers talk with each other before talking with brands.
  10. Engagement is not a fad; It’s the way today’s consumers do business.
We agree with everything mentioned in the article. These trends serve as a punch-list of what to do - or what to stop doing.  These trends also serve as a warning to brands (and the people that market them) that we are not just in an economic downturn, but in a transition that is transforming branding and marketing.    

If business models are changing to adapt to economic conditions and consumer trends, doesn't it make sense that marketing and branding should too?
