Why you should market what it DOES not what it IS?
I
want to talk about marketing and why you should market what it does, not what
it is. I learned this from my mentor Ray Higdon. And he always talks about
marketing what your product does, instead of marketing what it is. Now, there's
many reasons why you should do that. One being that your potential customers
are a lot more interested in what he does than what it is. Nobody buys a drill
because they want to drill, people buy a drill because they want a hole in the
wall. You should always be talking about the hole in the wall and not about the
drill. Your product is the drill, but what they want to achieve is the hole in
the wall. Anyway, it's a given that it's more effective, but also is to reduce
your competition. What do I mean by that?
Whenever
some product becomes popular, whether that's CBD, whether that's ketones,
whether that's essential oils, whether that's a Sai Berry, whatever new
ingredient, collagen and things like that, Whenever there's a trend that a
particular ingredient, or a particular type of product is going to be popular,
guess what happens? The big businesses, the big supermarkets jump on it as
well. You might have a particular food supplement with a particular ingredient,
or a particular shampoo with a particular ingredient, or a particular whatever,
with a certain ingredient, and if you start marketing what it is, “Hey, I have
a shampoo with this thing in it. I have a food supplement with this thing in
it.”
Then when the big supermarkets catches on that, “Oh, the yellow berry is
now the thing of the popular things.” What do you do, you may sell a really
good food supplement with a yellow Berry that cost 50 pounds, and it might be
totally good value for money because it's incredible. It has a lot of
concentration of that ingredient. It does incredible job it gives a great
effect, but as soon as the big supermarkets hear that, “Oh, the yellow berry is
very popular now.” Guess what they're going to do? They're going to do five
kilos of yellow berry for three pounds.
It
might not even be yellow berries. It might be sawdust in there. It may be
recycled plastic bottles in there with a drop of yellow Berry. But they will
put their name on the packaging anyway. And now if you just marketing on your
social media, yellow Berry, yellow Berry, they'll say, “Oh, she sells yellow
Berry. Oh, yeah. But I saw this big supermarket do yellow berry.”
Doesn’t
matter that your product is 1000 times better quality, is 1000 times more
effective than what the big supermarkets will sell. But they'll say, “Oh, why
should I buy yellow berry from you for 50 pounds, if it sells for three pounds
for a five litre jug in the big supermarket.” And you will not be able to
explain that, “Hey, mine is better than and that one is not so good.” You're
losing the battle. But you're losing the battle, because you're marketing what
it is. But you see if you market what it does, then people will have to come to
you.
Instead
of saying, “Hey, I have a yellow Berry, who wants to buy more yellow Berry?” If
you market how to sleep better, how to reduce back pain, how to feel more
energetic, how to feel calmer, how to feel more excited, how to whatever?
Whatever it does, if you market what it does, the effects of it, now they're
not going to go, “Oh, I'm going to go and buy Tesco, the more sleep thing.” No,
they have to find out from you, what is it? What's the product that helps to do
this thing?
This way, it reduces your competition when you marketing what he
does, instead of marketing what it is because if you just keep saying the
ingredient in your product, then they'll find that ingredient on Amazon, on
eBay, in a big supermarket. But if you’re marketing how to sleep better, they
don't know what helps that, they don't know what your product does, what ingredients,
they have to reach out to you, not the Google, not the Amazon, not the eBay,
not the big supermarkets, and that's when you win.
