In my last post, I broke down a simple 5-Step Marketing Strategy that anyone can use — even without experience. Today, we’re digging into the next pillar of success: finding and reaching your customers so your marketing efforts have the greatest impact.
Your Customers Won’t Come Just Because You Built the Business
You’ve launched. You have stunning branding. You know your product or service solves real problems. So why aren’t customers showing up?
Because launch ≠ audience.
If the mountain won’t come to Mohammed, Mohammed must go to the mountain.
Customers won’t magically throw themselves at you. You must announce who you are, what you offer, and why you’re the solution they need.
And to do that effectively, you must go where your audience already spends time — and speak their language.
Local Audiences vs. National Audiences — Different Platforms, Different Strategies
Some businesses serve a local client base and rely heavily on word-of-mouth. Many don’t even feel they need a website (more on that in an upcoming post). Still, they must be visible where locals are spending time online:
- Facebook groups
- Nextdoor
- Local community pages
But visibility isn’t enough. Messaging must reflect:
- Location
- Customer pain points
- Real-world solutions
Businesses with national audiences need a wider presence. Their customers aren’t browsing Craigslist or Nextdoor. For them, the strategy must include:
- Regular blog posts
- Thought leadership on LinkedIn
- Videos and social content
- Lead-nurturing email campaigns
- Consistent visibility in search
- Messaging for multiple audience segments
One idea can become dozens of strategic pieces — because investors, business owners, referral partners, and consumers don’t speak the same language.
Direct Mailing Still Works — And the Math Is Simple
Some clients think flyer mailers and one-pagers are dated. But the conversions prove otherwise. Mail costs are low. Design takes minimal time. And if two customers buy, the campaign pays for itself — often many times over.
Whether your business is landscaping, commercial loans, retail, or anything in between…
sometimes cold mailing outperforms cold calling.
SEO, Data, and Reading the Tea Leaves
SEO isn’t just for Google. Even social media and video platforms use SEO to rank content.
A modern SEO strategy includes understanding:
- Industry search trends
- Local search behavior
- Audience segments
- Traffic sources
- Behavioral analytics
Competitor analysis also reveals gaps they overlook — which means opportunities for you to dominate.
You Don’t Have to Do This Alone
Content strategy, SEO, segmentation, platform research, messaging, and analytics are powerful — but they take time.
The good news? Every part of this can be done at scale and with measurable results.
