Hi,

Core MessagingDo you know what your clients really think about your business? Most businesses have a story that they want to tell about themselves. They think this story will be compelling enough to differentiate them from their competition, convince potential clients to do business with them, and persuade existing customers to give them more business.

But, according to Rita Coco of Rita Coco Consulting, what you think your clients value about your business and what they actually consider important can differ anywhere from 30 to 70 percent! Branding and marketing messages built solely on what a business feels is important to say can make even the best designed and executed brochures, websites, mailers, etc. ineffective because they're not delivering a message that resonates with the intended audience. After efforts like this, it's no wonder that many businesses decide that "marketing doesn't work."

Core MessagingWhat if you could discover what your "A" clients and strategic partners value most about your business? That information could be turned into a targeted message to attract more like-minded "A" clients in your market or markets. This fundamental message, along with your business' goals and values, would become the core of your unique value proposition (UVP), brand position and identity. Everything your business does would support and reinforce this message. It would guide marketing strategy and create a road map for client communication. And, best of all, you know this is what your customers want to hear because they helped create the message!

Core MessagingJS Graphics can help if you're ready to take your messaging to this next level. We will learn what it is that your best clients and referral partners think about your business-what they like and, just as important, what they would like to see improved. You'll find out their concerns (but not their identity, keeping your good relationship with them intact) so your business can build on it's perceived value, and also make adjustments where necessary.

Then we can develop the strategy, write the content and create the pieces that will carry your improved and high impact message to the clients and partners that will help grow your business.

Because nothing pleases us more than to see our clients become even more successful at what they do best!

Regards,
 
Jody
