“Building a business without foundations is

like building a house of cards on the sand –

sooner or later,

it will FALL DOWN”

So WHY Do so many people Struggle?

“ 90% of small businesses fail because

they are doing the wrong things”

Rich Scheffren - US Report

A little bit more about Me...

... It’s not a pretty story...

What are your Online Marketing Foundations?

1) Your Brand

2) Your Unique Value Proposition (UVP)

3) Your Target Audience – Your ‘Ideal Client’

4) Your Message

Your Brand & Your UVP:

“In order to be irreplaceable, one must always be different”

– Coco Chanel

What is Your ‘Brand’?

your Logo

your Website

your Business Card

Your Brand is not What you DO...

Your Brand is Who You ARE...

it Inspires people to choose YOU

your “Essence”

it POSITIONS you in the market

who you ARE in the marketplace

Your Brand should answer the

Question:

“What is it that is unique and different about ME?

” - Unique in a way that I can own ...

... and that my customers want ...

... (and are actively searching for)

Your Brand also needs to answer

the Question:

“What is the Real Life Problem that I

solve?”

WHY is your Brand So Important?

People don’t buy products or services – People buy PEOPLE

People don’t buy what you do, they buy who you are

“All things being equal, people prefer to buy

from people they know, like and trust ...”

Influence – Dr. Robert Cialdini

“All things being equal, people

prefer to buy from people they

know, like and trust...”

NOTstill

Parting Shot:

If you cannot convey your Brand in

three words or less – you do not

have a Brand

Crafting Your UVP:

...Can you state your Biggest benefit or

theme of your business in one or even

two sentences?

“What is it that is unique and different about

ME... in a way that I can own ...”

“What is the Real Life Problem that I

solve?”

People don’t buy products or services – People buy PEOPLE

People buy people who can give them

RESULTS

Your UVP needs to convey the RESULTS you offer your customer –

the Biggest Benefit you bring...

And it needs to do it in one, maximum two sentences...

This is WHO you aim your

UVP at

Your Target Audience:

Your UVP answered the Question:

“What is the Real Life Problem that I solve?” _____________________

Your Target Market research answers the

Question:

“Who do I do it for?”

Who is your Ideal Client?

How do you find them?

Do they actually want what you offer?

How can I help them?

When you know your Ideal

Client ... When you understand

what they most want and need

to hear...

...Then you can begin to

craft the MESSAGE they

need to hear from you in

order to buy from you...

Your Message

“I want THAT”

How “sticky” is your core marketing message?

Credibility & Believability

“The best message in the world is

worthless if no-one believes it”

An often overlooked part of Messaging is Believability

Believability

1) Personal Experience

2) Common sense

3) Social Proof (which includes

testimonials)

4) Risk reversal
