If It Looks Like Marketing, Then It's Safe To Ignore!

โ€œ๐—œ๐—ณ ๐—ถ๐˜ ๐—น๐—ผ๐—ผ๐—ธ๐˜€ ๐—น๐—ถ๐—ธ๐—ฒ ๐—บ๐—ฎ๐—ฟ๐—ธ๐—ฒ๐˜๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด, ๐˜๐—ต๐—ฒ๐—ป ๐—ถ๐˜โ€™๐˜€ ๐˜€๐—ฎ๐—ณ๐—ฒ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐—ถ๐—ด๐—ป๐—ผ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ.โ€ Thatโ€™s something @danstewarthg said during one or our breakout panels last year at the #SuccessSummit. Heโ€™s got a point! Itโ€™s estimated that the average consumer is exposed to somewhere between 4,000 and 10,000 advertisements on a daily basis. Thatโ€™s probably a high-ish estimate, but regardless, we all know itโ€™s a big number.

The impact is if all your blogs and emails appear low-grade or โ€œ๐—ฐ๐—ฎ๐—ป๐—ป๐—ฒ๐—ฑโ€ or if your social feeds are overflowing with generic, โ€œ๐—ณ๐—ถ๐—น๐—น๐—ฒ๐—ฟ ๐—ฝ๐—ผ๐˜€๐˜๐˜€,โ€ Iโ€™d wager you might be training people to ignore you. No surprise, but itโ€™s always been (and will remain) QUALITY over QUANTITY!

Even if you have to scale-back your marketing output in order to raise the standard (i.e., the value) of what youโ€™re producing, I say itโ€™s worth it. Every chance you get to communicate with your customers is an opportunity... and if you treat it as such, over time, itโ€™ll pay dividends. Hoping this message encourages/challenges you to step up your game a notch :D
