Create A Messaging Tree

Choose Channels Carefully

Don’t use every possible channel

Determine what combination of channels will resonate

with your target audience

Use what you know about them and their past

interactions

Pick channels that will give you the best results and

ROI

Be Selective.

Provide value often. Rarely sell.

Give, Give, Give, Ask… Then Give Some More

Make it brief and impactful every time. Evoke an emotion that provides a brief escape or inspires.

Make it informative and relevant. Appeal to their sense of urgency and being ‘in the know’.

Make them want more. Provide just enough information coupled with a call-to-action.

Catch their attention quickly. Cute, sassy, surprising

Always Keep Context In Mind.

Context Over Content

Use Native Content of Tell Your Story

Each Channel is Different

It’s all about micro-content and visuals.

Think Small.

Stay true to your brand.

Consistency Is the Name of the Game.
