Traditional Marketing Gets Modest Results

May 13th, 2009

Traditional Marketing Only Gets Traditional Results

If your marketing efforts are only paying off with modest results, it’s time to take a good hard look at your approach. Chances are you’re playing it close to the vest, using traditional techniques that have been proven time and again to work consistently but not in an overwhelming fashion.

Take a look outside the box and study the approaches that have really paid off for others. Odds are strong that their marketing campaigns are reaching consumers on different levels than the strategies you learned in school or in the field.

Marketing campaigns that take ordinary businesses and turn them into household names are not accidental. They are carefully and diligently planned from the bottom up to utilize some of the oldest secrets known to humanity. People are driven by more than logic or reason. They are motivated by a host of unseen forces, dreams and desires. When campaigns are multipronged and hit upon a number of these motivators, consumers tend to respond with their checkbooks.

If you’re using traditional marketing strategies, you’re probably enjoying a reasonable amount of success. Taking it to the next level and beyond, however, demands a different kind of approach. Learn the secrets that some of the best marketers have held dear and you can enjoy the results you are after.

What Motivates People To Buy?

You’ve been working on the marketing for a product that is truly sound. In fact, you even believe in yourself. It works just like it is supposed to and it truly blows the competition away.

Try as you might, however, you just cannot seem to get other people to buy into the concept. They pass by the product you know is the best (despite your most inspired marketing efforts) and purchase an item you view as substandard.

Just what is it that is motivating people to purchase from the competition?

There are a number of things that can motivate people to gravitate toward one product over another. These same things can convince people to purchase an item even if it is not truly the best or it doesn’t even offer the best value for the money.

When people make purchases they are generally influenced by these things:

  • True needs – People buy products and services to fulfill real needs for food, shelter, clothing and so on.
  • Perceived needs – Some products appeal to people by targeting their perceived needs. They make them believe they cannot get by without X product in their homes or offices.
  • Pure wants and desires – Consumers are also highly motivated by products that appeal to their personal desires. When product A offers value and quality but product B speaks to a deep desire, chances are it is product B that will sell.

Learn the secrets to appealing to people on the level that truly motivates them to buy and your marketing efforts will pay off.

Influence And Action Beyond Traditional Marketing

May 12th, 2009

Influence And Action Go Together

What makes one drink brand outsell all others? How come certain stores are busy with customers no matter the time of day? Why will people go out of their way to obtain services from a particular provider and drive right by more convenient options along the way?

The answer is found in the marketing that surrounds these ventures. When marketing campaigns influence people properly and entice them to act the end result is generally success for the focus of the campaign.

Marketing programs that enable drinks to outsell others, stores to smoke their competition and service providers to be deemed “the best” go beyond the traditional. Instead of appealing to potential customers in a traditional way, they use influencing motivators to drive consumers to action. In the process, they truly sell people on the idea that the product, service or store in question is the very best there is even if logic says otherwise. In short, they convince them that the object of focus is something they truly need or can benefit from rather than just want.

Learning the secrets to influence people to act demands thinking outside the realm of traditional marketing. When the bonds of textbook marketing are broken, amazing results can be had.

Holistic Measures Can Lead To Sales Results

There is more to successful marketing than slick campaigns and careful packaging. To truly lead a company and its product or products to the pinnacle of success, holistic measures must be taken. From the company’s image right down to the point of purchase advertising, everything must click with the consumer.

Marketing efforts that really resonate with consumers tend to reach them in ways that are seemingly subtle, but very powerful nonetheless. They reach out and connect with people on a subconscious level, motivating them to act with their spending money.

A restaurant chain that wants to launch a new “must try” product might first draw on the image it has carefully produced for its corporate name. If marketing has been successful in the past, the restaurant will be a trusted entity in the minds of consumers. This in and of itself will often be enough to get consumers to give a new menu item a go.

The restaurant, however, will not rely on its image alone. It will employ other measures to market the new product as one that satisfies hunger, refreshes or even puts smiles on people’s face. It might even choose to sell the item by selling an emotion with the food product making a cameo appearance in commercials. The efforts will work in most cases because a holistic approach has been taken. The restaurant has a trusted image so its new product must be a good purchase to make. Consumers will reason this out and then respond with their orders.

Learning how to market a product from the corporate image right down to the item packaging itself takes study and skill. When the secrets behind successful efforts are understood and studied, success will follow.
