If you want to truly beat the competition and be untouchable in your market, you have to follow these unbeatable marketing tips and make your competition invisible to your customers.
1. You must have a remarkable headline that grabs the audience's attention. Take this blog's title for example. Notice how is doesn't say something like, "Use these marketing ideas" or "Good marketing ideas". Instead, it stops you cold. After all, who doesn't want to make the competition invisible.
2. Use information in your marketing materials that is useful and of great interest to your target audience. This information should set you far apart from the competition. For example, if you are a personal trainer, don't tell the reader that you are certified and you have been a trainer for 5 years. Everyone expects their trainers to be certified. So what? Instead, tell them that your training techniques have helped your clients achieve massive reductions in body fat. Tell them about your clients that met all of their goals and were very happy with you. Tell them how compared with working out without a trainer, your training techniques achieve a 70% greater improvement in body composition. (PS: don't forget to add your certification to the ad.)
3. Use color and pictures that get people's attention. Don't use the same stuff that everyone else is using unless there is clear evidence that it works so good that you must use it. Otherwise, it is a good idea to stand out and be noticed. After that, you better have a killer headline and intriguing content.
4. Connect the dots between your offering and the audience's needs. Tell people why they need what you have. Tell them all of the things others use your product for. Tell them the very best uses for your product or the very best reasons others use your product (or service).
5. If something bad could happen if customers don't choose you over the competition, absolutely point that out and be emphatic about it. But, be careful you don't unintentionally talk bad about a specific competitor or competitor's product. This could get you into unnecessary legal trouble. Instead, you need to point out exactly how you or your product will solve their problems, even if they don't yet know that the problem exists.
