Know Your Customers

When it comes to writing your ad copy

Marketers think there are combinations of words that only copywriters know that magically compel people to buy.

Thinking this way is a mistake because

๐Ÿ‘‰ it slows you down
๐Ÿ‘‰ it stops you from testing
๐Ÿ‘‰ it distracts you from whatโ€™s important

And it ends up costing more than it would have if you had just hired a copywriter in the first place.

Are there formulas?โ€ฆ yes!

Power verbs and proven headlines combos?... sure!

And will hiring a copywriter give you better results than you trying to write your own copy?โ€ฆ probably!

But copy is not the cake.

Itโ€™s the icing

If you have a sh*tty offer

The copy wonโ€™t matter.

And if you have a great offer.

The copy still wonโ€™t matter.

Copy will only amplify whatโ€™s working.

But it canโ€™t fix something thatโ€™s broken!

If youโ€™re not getting sales

Start with your audience.

Then craft an offer around solving one of their problems.

Communicate the problem your customers are dealing with in detail.

Tell them how your offer can help.

Remove some risk.

Add some scarcity.

And you're good ๐Ÿ‘

Once youโ€™ve validated your offer and made some sales

Then you can hire a copywriter to amplify your results!

P.S. If you want a 5-point checklist that we use to make any offers irresistible, comment โ€œoffer,โ€ and Iโ€™ll fire it off to you.

When it comes to getting more reach with hashtags...

Brand owners tend to use hashtags that are similar to their competitors.

This is a mistake because every account is different, even if theyโ€™re in the same niche and marketing to the same audience.

By using the wrong hashtags for your account, you end up not getting much exposure outside of your followers because you either donโ€™t have enough engagement or the hashtag doesnโ€™t have enough engagement.

Instead, if you use hashtags that have an average engagement rate similar to your average post,

Want to improve your business? - talk to more customers.

08/19/2022

When you start an eCommerce brand, your focus shouldnโ€™t be on your products more than on who the product is for.

Instead, learn marketing angles, sell on emotion, and create a memorable customer experience.

If money was no option, which would you choose to invest in:

- Shopify
- Facebook
- YouTube
- TikTok?

When it comes to your business, your products donโ€™t matter...

Think about some of the biggest companies in the world.

๐Ÿ’ฉ McDonaldโ€™s
๐Ÿ’ฉ Ikea
๐Ÿ’ฉ Amazon

Many brands think that having a great quality product is all they need for their awesome product to sell!

The thing is that consumersโ€ฆ

โŒ donโ€™t buy products
โŒ they donโ€™t buy cool features
โŒ they donโ€™t even buy solutions

They buy ๐—ข๐—จ๐—ง๐—–๐—ข๐— ๐—˜๐—ฆโ€ฆ

When you buy an Apple device, the quality of the phone is usually at the bottom of the list even though they position it at the topโ€ฆ

BUT if I built you a better phone and charged you the same amount, would you buy mine over Appleโ€™s?

Probably not...

When you buy an Apple, you buy the convenience of the eco-system, the status, the familiarity etc, and the quality is just a table stack, not the deciding factor.

๐Ÿ‘‰ McDonaldโ€™s does NOT make the best burgers, yet they sell more burgers than anyone in the world.
๐Ÿ‘‰ Ikea does NOT make the best furniture, yet they sell more furniture than anyone in the world.

Instead of focusing on creating exceptional productsโ€ฆ focus on creating exceptional OUTCOMES!

Wouldn't you like to know more about how your products can be positioned and branded? Stay tuned for our tips this week.
