Why New Entrepreneurs Need Attraction Marketing

By Christine Clark


Most people who are in business will say that marketing, in general, is like the fuel needed by an engine. Choose the wrong type and the engine will not run as it should. This is how some people should look at their business, no matter the size. What it comes down to is believing in a product or service and convincing others of its values and principles. However, there is more to attraction marketing than being a cheerleader.

To believe in something is to understand it. What it does, along with its purpose, and the type of audience that will find a product, service, or idea useful. Maybe there are uses for a different demographic. A good example of this is fashion. For a long time, people wore leg warmers or scarves as protection in cool weather but at least once in the past century, these accessories have been trendy fashion choices in warmer climates.

For a long time, people associated this squash as a food to be enjoyed during the fall or winter seasons. Recently, as the foodie craze began to emerge, recipes both savory and sweet, could be enjoyed throughout the year. Some experts have even discovered that canned pumpkin could make a healthier substitute for certain baked goods.

Taking photos for social media and creating content that is positive are great ways to sell this concept to those who may be curious. Maybe even a streaming video that shows a popular dish being prepared can pique the interest of naysayers. It may also help to learn the art of article marketing or running a blog if one wanted to brand themselves an expert.

The difference here is that visual can help sell the facts. Anyone who walks into a salon with split ends and walks out with hair that looks healthy should want to know what they can do to maintain their look. When a beauty operator states simple steps in plain language, it can enhance the visual value of images posted.

However, consistency is the key to maintaining an audience. Sometimes business owners may integrate a personal part of their lives into business matters but this should be done with caution. Someone who sells scrapbook patterns may be inclined to talk about their family but this should not be the focus when speaking to audiences. If blogging is part of the marketing plan, do not start off talking about matters not related to the brand.

Uniqueness also plays a strong role in creating a marketing plan. While looking at competitors for inspiration is always advised, finding ways to make the package better should be the goal. The salon owner who likes to use images as part of their branding may want to try infographics to be placed on their professional blog. These could list tips for grooming or treating common problems.

A good marketing program should bring in others who may want to form an alliance or other business partnership. This may be in the form of a paid influencer or affiliate, either directly through the supplier or a marketing agency. Once a strong following has been built, there are many opportunities that can help raise the profile of a brand.
