Marketing Messaging
How do I create effective marketing messaging?
To create effective marketing messaging, you need to:
- Define your target audience. Who are you trying to reach with your marketing message? What are their needs and pain points?
- Differentiate your business. What makes your business different from your competitors? Why should customers choose you? Why do you care about their problem? Why should they trust you can do the work? Who’s on your team?
- Provide a clear action plan. Tell your audience what the process looks like and how to get started. Give them a second option if they aren’t yet ready to buy.
- Tell the story of transformation. Persuasively describe how your customer’s life will be different after working with you. What better future is possible? What’s at stake if they do nothing?

What are some common mistakes to avoid when creating marketing messaging?
Here are some common mistakes to avoid when creating marketing messaging:
- Using too much jargon or technical language. Your marketing message should be easy to understand for everyone, even those who don't know much about your industry.
- Focusing on your features instead of your benefits. People don't buy features; they buy benefits. When crafting your marketing message, focus on the benefits your product or service offers your customers.
- Making promises that you can't keep. Don't overhype your product or service in your marketing message. Make sure that you can deliver on the promises that you make.
- Not using a call to action. Tell your audience what you want them to do next. Whether it's visiting your website, signing up for your newsletter, or making a purchase, make it clear what you want them to take action.
