5 Steps for effectively marketing your services
Step 1: what do you want to do and why?
Everything starts with thoughts, and you should be clear about what you are doing and why. Your lack of clarity/confusion will stop you from attracting clients. Also, lack of passion will lead to abandoning your plans as soon as you hit the first obstacle on the road.
Step 2: who are you serving and why?
The next step is to identify your target market and their needs. You need to know what your potential client really want and need. Otherwise, you will not be able to attract clients. No one goes to the dentist unless they are in pain or trying to avoid pain! Knowing what your clients really need will enable you to align your services to solve their problems. That is what niche is all about. Niche is the specific service you provide to your target market.
Step 3: How would they find you?
How will you connect with your clients? You may have the greatest products and services but if nobody knows about you…? However, you will only succeed if you can attract the right clients. You want to connect with your potential clients and tell them how you can solve their problems. Networking, speaking, social media, and writing is some of the common marketing strategies. Look into what you do best and choose the strategy that is aligned with your strengths.
Step 4: Express yourself and have fun!
Now it is time to get out there and share your gift with others. You must express yourself completely and authentically. Your clients buy from those they like and trust. Monitor your efforts and change as needed.
You must be passionate about what you do and who you serve. Stay open to changing your strategies and identifying the ones that really work for you.
