People take marketing and advertising lightly.
I came across this photo by chance during a break from work, study, research and of course all my private obligations … and it just sat on my first. It’s not just about advertising if we look at it from a wider angle.
And it got me thinking about how light people actually take marketing.
And they don’t understand the fact – in order to write a copy for a client (publication, story) you have to know the subject. Learn, explore, see what the competition is doing. And then I realize that in my free time I research and learn about software solutions because my client is a programmer, on the other hand I research types of roof tiles, then a little food industry, then I throw myself into studying trends for events in cafes…
And along the way you learn a lot of interesting things, you meet wonderful new people – by “you meet” I mean online in most cases today.
I was one of those who didn’t mind sending a message to a guy in a big corporation, he was the CEO, Board Member or something else. If I need help or advice – I ask for it.
What is the worst that can happen to me? Don’t answer me. Terrible, isn’t it?
And the best? To connect with people who know more than me 🤗
So dig, plant and nurture new acquaintances. Look for solutions and don’t let the routine take you away. When you start to feel like you’re falling – that your motivation is “low”, grab someone for inspiration – seek advice and a new box of ideas is sure to open.
If you’ve lost one client, look for a replacement – just remember it’s all a matter of statistics. Contact 5 potential clients every day and do it EVERY day. It is mining in small numbers, but when added up on a monthly basis we are talking about 100 new contacts. Do you really think that out of those 100 at least 5 will not react? Maybe not right away, but they will keep your product in mind if you present it well.
“Self-discipline comes here too,” but about it on another occasion because the blog has become too long, so I’ll end it here.
I’m here if you need more information.
