1. Visual Depiction Effect

People buy products that they can see themselves using. Make your products look ready to use.

2. Exclude people with your marketing, rather than attract.

1. Zone in one message, one goal, one mission.
2. Filter out people that are not a good fit.
3. Only speak to your true ideal customers.

3. You don't have to be everywhere. Show up in one place and be exceptional.

Many marketers will have you believe you need be everywhere, this leads to stress and burnout.

1. Focus on one platform
2. Hone your craft and master the platform.
3. You'll attract more than enough customers to make a 6+ figure business.

4. Rather than market to your ideal customers. Market to who they want to be.

People desire achieving who they want to be, rather than who they are.

Reflect this life in your brand and marketing to draw customers to your brand.

5. Successful brands create mental ownership inside their customer's mind

1. First they use a trigger word, such as...

• Giving discounts to every customer creates a bad reputation.

• You create your brand around being a "discount giver"...

• This gives your customers power over your price, which they shouldn't have.

Only you get to decide your price.

• When your price is always discounted it creates a habit with your customers to only buy from you when it's cheap...

  Thus, never buying from you at full price.

• When you do offer your product at full price, they go to another cheaper option. You end up stuck in an endless price war in a bid to win customers on price...

Rather than winning customers over on loyalty to you, your brand, and the experience you work hard to deliver.

• Discounts are a double-edged sword.

Reserve them for the right occasions:

 New product launch (introductory price point)

 To reward existing loyal customers

 Bulk orders

 Long term retainers (ie signing a 6 month service)

Want to start making...

1. Luxury brands command premium pricing.

When your customers see higher price points subconsciously they feel it must be of greater value. That price commands a very specific experience, one that your customers deserves to receive... after all, they paid for it.  Equally, when you know you provide an exceptional product/service, the price MUST reflect the value to prevent undervaluing your service. 

2. Luxury brands focus on extreme levels of differentiation.

Luxury brands invest a lot of money to make their brand different. The slightest similarity to a cheaper option will cause customers to choose the cheapest option. Cheap is not an option for luxury brands, it would harm your positioning and cause customers to go elsewhere. 

This why luxury brands focus on extreme differentiation through the customers they serve, their brand identity, and the overall experience delivered. 

3. Luxury brands are passionate about their...

As you begin your journey in marketing your business online and begin building your brand you will hear a lot of lies that will make you question "am I doing this right"? 

Here are 3 of the worst to avoid believing and the truths behind each lie. 

Marketing Lie #1

People don't read, they scan

This one makes an appearance now and again and it paints a bad picture of good marketing.

If this were true all necessary information would be scanned and never read... 

Good marketing isn't about keeping everything short and to the point.

It's about knowing when to keep it short and simple and when to explain more with key information the reader needs to know.

Marketing Truth

 People read what matters

They cut out the noise and only read info they want the most. 

Marketing Lie #2

 You must find a niche to start your business

While you continue to overthink, other people have already started building their brand

You don't need anything however by...

Big brands won't tell you this:

The real reason as to how they become so successful.

Every day brands flood our social media feeds!

They're all shouting in a desperate attempt to win a space in our minds.

The more brands shout, the less we pay attention.

This is why, while all other brands are shouting.

Smart brands whisper and let their actions do the talking!
