If you’re reading this, “Thank You”.  You’re helping me make a point about marketing communications — RELEVANCE is key.

Whether you wanted a way to make $30K or you just wanted to prove what ‘BS’ this must be . . . it worked!

In marketing communications, there are four points to consider and use if you want response-able communications:

1. Focus on your READER’s interests, not you, your product or service (at least initially!)
2. Focus on his or her PROBLEMS . . . the ‘Pains’, not you, your product or service (at least initially!)
3. Suggest remedial SOLUTIONS and STRATEGIES . . . to help your reader get what she wants
4. Invite ACTION . . . not necessarily a ‘purchase’, but an appropriate ‘Next Step’ they can take with you — e.g. ‘Download a complimentary Special Report . . . “

KEY POINT:
Marketing communications that are most effective are:

1. tailored to address the interests of a specific market — a ‘target’ market of yours
2. designed with a specific person clearly in mind (not quite the same as #1 above)
3. delivered at ‘just the right time‘ (When’s that?  You don’t know?  So communicate CONSISTENTLY!)
4. ending with a clear ‘Call To Action’ — that is a progressive step toward your ultimate objective — a valuable relationship
