Marketing Writing - What Benefits Is Your Target Market Searching For? By Suzi Elton As you work on your marketing writing, it's important to let potential clients know what benefits they will get from working with you. More importantly, you must write about the benefits that your target market is searching for. Some of these benefits will be obvious, but others are much more subtle. The subtle ones are possibly most powerful in attracting a prospect to choose to become your client. Let's look at ways you can do your marketing writing with an emphasis on the benefits that your target market is searching for. 1. What are the benefits that prospects and clients have most frequently expressed their desire for? What have they told you that they are looking for? What words have they used? These will be the most obvious desired results - things like "no longer suffering in ________ (fill in the blank) this way" or "freedom from ____ (the problem you can solve)". You are probably already using this information in your marketing writing, but try a new twist on it. When prospects or clients talk about these issues with you, delve a little deeper with them. Ask a few gently probing questions. See what else you can learn about the obvious impacts their problem has had on their life. Find out if you can uncover new ways of describing these problems and their effects. 2. What results do they want that they have not spoken out loud? These are the "un-saids" - those secret desires and wishes that they hope for, but are not sure they could actually have. To discover these, you will need to be able to "read between the lines", and draw this information out by discreet questioning and listening. This sounds a bit nebulous, but chances are that you have sub-consciously been making these types of observations all along with your clients. With a bit of subtle and deft work, you can reveal some of their most powerfully hoped-for benefits. These types of benefits are especially effective in your marketing writing, because they show a depth of knowledge that creates credibility and trust for you in the prospective client. They also set off a deep resonance when the prospect realizes they have these deeper desires that they had not even considered previously.     Adland Digest Sponsor Message Shop USA Network Web Site Design Web Site Design from $575, Computer Lessons from $20/ hr and a few books.

If you've done some keyword work in the past, you know what the search terms are for the problems that you solve. This is where your prospective clients let you know what their "pain points" are, and you use those words to help them find you in search engine results. The whole topic of keywords requires in-depth expertise, but it is necessary to understand this aspect of what your potential clients are looking for. 4. What benefits have you learned about from clients long after you stopped working together? Think about any casual encounters you've had with past clients and anything they or their family members have said to you about the positive effects they got from working with you. Perhaps they say things like, "The spouse is so much happier now that I'm not dealing with that problem any longer." or "My kids say I have so much more time for them now." This positive "fallout" can include some surprising benefits that you were unaware of, so they are especially valuable. Be sure that you take note and remember them. When you use this information in your marketing writing, they can be quite motivating in helping a prospect decide to become a client. 5. Ask valued clients to see if they can help you discover any unstated desires for benefits. Ask a few of your best clients if they would be willing to help you with this project. Of course, this is done in time away from your working sessions, and you come up with some sort of "compensation" (such as a gift card) for their giving generously of their time. With the two of you working on it, see what you can dig out. It's best to do this with your most successful clients with whom you have the warmest relationships. You want to make clear to them that the purpose is to give greater authenticity to your marketing writing so that they need to be as truthful as they are comfortable being. Building on an excellent relationship in this way should get you some very valuable input. Be sure that when you do marketing writing, your business materials are heavily laced with benefits - especially those benefits that your target market is searching for. This will make your marketing writing powerfully attractive to your target market.   About the Author: Suzi Elton provides business writing that attracts targeted prospects to your service business and converts them into clients for you.

(Spot III)   How to Promote Your Business Now By Josephine Monty So you are in business. Now you need to promote your business now, right? Of course you do, but what is the best way to get exposure without having to spend a lot of money to let others know you exist? Consider These Following Facts! You Need Exposure Or You Will Fail No Exposure Means No Visits To Your Site And No Business No Visits To Your Site Leads To Failure Getting The Exposure Your Business Is Easier Than You May Think... OK, so what do you do? Of course there is the internet to help you, but things have become quite saturated without a doubt which is why it is a good idea to nestle into areas that you know are working for other marketers. I can tell you from my own personal trials, probably the best thing to do is to network with others and start creating relationships. I did not do that when I first got started and I really struggled. When a mentor of mine suggested focusing on creating relationships, things began to change. I know that focusing on relationships may sound crazy, simple or just plain ineffective. The fact is, if you are able to share your product or service in a neutral setting where other "like-minded" people congregate and get to know one another, you will succeed. You need to first start creating relationships first. If you do that, trust me, the money will follow. People join people in business. They don't join a business. If you are selling a product, people often buy from those they know and trust or from referrals. What I am trying to say is that the relationship must always come first. To start creating these important relationships, you have to go where others are, right? Before we talk about how online platform works like magnets, let me also encourage you to become involved with offline gatherings as well. Meetup is a great way to do just that and you can find them anywhere in the US. Just go online and look for the closest one nearest you. These meetings will help you get noticed. As far as online networks are concerned, you will find that some of these networks will allow you to post your profile along other business entries that show the spotlight on you and your business. Here are some benefits of such a business networking site: You can post your profile such as your URL, photo, audio, or video clip You can also access chat and message boards It does not matter which company you are with Direct sales, network marketing, MLM are welcome Constant exposure with other people means the possibility of you being able to make more sales The more exposure you can get the better! You can create networks, forums, blogs, ad classifieds and more You can target the people that you would like to network with which makes your marketing more streamlined because you are only marketing to those who have the same interests Connecting with others on a platform such as this can often lead to creating business relationships with others Ability to help others will attract business owners to your business As the old saying goes, "give and you shall receive goes," there really is a lot of truth to that. If you can network with other people and give value to others by helping them grow their business, you will discover that you will attract more than just a lead once every other week. How these networks benefit you is clear and very, very powerful. What you will find is that by connecting with others who have the same interests, you will not have to go far at all because the people you want to attract, are right there before your eyes... waiting to get to know you.
