each person’s truth… depends on their perspective

By | branding, design, food for thought, lead generation, marketing, marketing communications, real estate marketing, strategic planning | No Comments
you’ve probably seen it often these days… people increasingly married to – and convinced about – the rightness of their own perspective. the more they echo and agree with others who share that same point of view, the more steadfast they are about their own point of view.
and as much as you try, particularly in an increasingly politically-polarized world, it can feel like quite the challenge to get others to see things from your point of view.


but, there’s the rub.
if you change your goal, you can shift the paradigm.


rather than having them see things from your perspective, finding mutuality in how you see things and how you communicate are the first steps toward achieving a shared understanding – and agreement.


the same holds true with your marketing.

 

so often, companies come at things from “WE DO THIS…/WE SPECIALIZE IN THAT…” while prospects and clients are generally in the world of “WE NEED/ WE WANT…” understanding and articulating prospects’ and clients’ needs is one of the most important steps toward converting them. the more you can approach your messaging – and your perspective – to align with their needs and wants, the more relevant and effective it will become.


at ISCI communications, we employ a strategic, thoughtful approach to understanding what you do – and to crafting messaging that uniquely delivers your brand promise in a client-centric, benefit-oriented way. our marketing and design solutions consider a wide variety of perspectives to make an impact and to motivate response.

 

if you need a marketing partner that can help you – and your clients – see things from a whole new perspective, get in touch.

great marketing doesn’t sell…

it engages.

there’s that old adage..
“people hate being sold to — but they love buying.”

the same should be said about marketing. while your branding and lead generation messaging should always include a response-oriented call-to-action, it should first engage, inform and enlighten.

in developing any messaging that will represent you or your company, always remember to start with a client benefit first… like this one.

before you sell… engage.

as much as you do (and vice-versa)

got a new listing? make sure your marketing around it positions it — and positions you — in the very best possible light.

include great photography, clear, benefit-oriented description, and all the salient details that ensure maximum exposure among prospective buyers and their agents. and make sure you are prominently featured in the marketing piece — so that other prospective sellers understand just how you will market their property when they are ready to sell.

make your listings and your brand stand out, contact us today.

…it’s come a long way

that’s where we come in.

at ISCI communications, we can work with you to develop a comprehensive, scalable social media marketing program that intrigues + engages. what’s more, we can even schedule + manage your updates for you.

sometimes less is more.

the same is true in marketing design.

in business marketing, you want your message delivered. that is why it’s so important to make sure your marketing pieces are clear + uncluttered.

one great way to ensure this is to maximize the “white space” on the page. it’s the best friend of the message it surrounds.

think of white space as the “silence” on the page…
and every word/image on it as chatter competing for attention.

at ISCI communications, a brand marketing + design firm, we focus on saying just the right thing for your brand in just the right way so that it’s heard every time.

want to be heard? say less…and make it mean more.

making an impression

By | branding, design, food for thought, lead generation, marketing, marketing communications, real estate marketing, strategic planning | No Comments

can take repetition and variety… and a whole lot of consistency.

creating awareness of a product or a brand takes focus… and time.

you often want to tell the same story… but in a variety of different ways, or different stories that showcase you in a consistent way.

when it comes to your marketing program, make sure you’re consistently telling your story with variety and consistency.

you don’t rely on a single communication with anyone to build a relationship. so don’t rely on singular lead generation effort. the best, most effective lead generation programs build awareness, consideration, rapport and value over time. and they do it in a differentiated, branded way that create a well of good will and consumer buy-in.

at ISCI communications, we can help you develop a consistent marketing campaign that is greater than the sum of its parts.

go ahead, make your mark. call us to get started.
