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…

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

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.

finding your message…

shouldn’t be like finding waldo

it used to be we had so much time — and energy — to focus on finding waldo. whatever crowd he found himself in, we could count on eventually locating his red + white striped sweater and smiling face.

what is always more objective than you are?

By | branding, food for thought, lead generation, marketing, marketing communications, real estate marketing, website | No Comments

testimonials: let others say what you can’t say about yourself.

let’s face it, there are things you’d like people to know about you… but it can be downright challenging for you to talk about your honesty or your work ethic or your performance without it sometimes coming across as either overly self-serving or inauthentic.

that’s where testimonials come in. once your clients have crafted these great messages about you, it’s so important to use them — and to use them effectively.

at ISCI communications, we can seamlessly incorporate these testimonials into your ongoing lead generation and sales efforts and presentation materials to ensure all the messages about you — those by you and those about you — hit their mark.

if you want strategies for soliciting and merchandising testimonials that work for you, give us a call.

in a sea of competitors

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

it’s vital to stand out

you are unique. in growing and sustaining your business — whether you’re marketing your products, your services or yourself — make sure that your marketing is just as unique.

• build a clear, compelling brand.
• execute differentiated communications for it.
• articulate why your products + services don’t just stand out, but why they stand apart.

sure, “off-the-shelf” marketing tools are convenient + easy. but when you’re establishing yourself with your respective targets, it is vital to bring a fresh, unique approach to those efforts.

if you want to make the cut, don’t be cookie cutter.
for a fresh approach, contact ISCI communications today.
