You might not realise it, but many Community Service Organisations (businesses in general actually...) struggle to clearly explain what they actually do. In our agency, we follow three rules to address, and fix this.
I'm talking about organisations like:
▫️ Mental health & Wellbeing Services
▫️ Child protection organisations
▫️ Disability & NDIS services
▫️ Family, Child & Youth Services
▫️ Employment, Housing & Social Support Services
In many cases, the work is valuable, but it's also complex.
So the messaging ends up sounding like this:
“We provide holistic, person centred support services tailored to individual needs.”
This is technically correct.
But almost impossible to understand.
When someone is looking for help, they’re not thinking in service models.
They’re thinking: “I need help.”
So your consumer marketing needs to meet them there, where they are at.
People connect with clarity, with words that reflect their situation, with empathy.
Not with a list of services.
Here are three simple ways to incorporate this shift in your marketing language:
1️⃣ Think about the moment, not the service
2️⃣ Say it the way that they would say it
3️⃣ Show people how it will work with simplicity
When you get this right, people really start to understand what you do.
When people understand, they are more likely to trust. They are FAR more likely to take the next step.
It’s one of our unique skill sets in WhiteSpace Marketing - being able to take the complexities of what you do, and transform it into marketing messaging that makes sense to your clients.
