ā€œLean forward momentā€ of the week - Marketing tips from unusual source šŸ“

I don’t only make this list for show. I actually go to a bunch of events, including some where I don’t necessarily fit šŸ˜› BUT is where I often find inspiration.

A couple of weeks ago, I visited a non-profit event. My takeaways were actually better than some marketing events I’ve attended, here they are:

  • 75% Goals are ā€œBecause of their donationsā€ 25% ā€œFuture Goalsā€

  • Using a short video to say ā€œwho we areā€ → followed by Live testimonial - deliver sentiment but to the point

Let me explain my notes. The first point is basically explaining how donations are explained in a ā€œFund-a-needā€ presentation. 75% of the time they are explaining the benefit ā€œthis is what we achieve because of youā€ which in normal business is basically ā€œthis is the results we got other peopleā€.

Then you have the 25% future goals which is ā€œwith your donations we plan to achieve Xā€ giving a clear path to a goal, in business showing new leads you can get them to their desired goal or how results continue to get better for others entices them to purchase.

Second the short video technique ā€œwho we areā€ then live testimonial that is inspiring but short is so powerful and combined with the first it can create such a powerful marketing video that would be fantastic for a website…

Example: Video starts by explaining the benefits they get by showing actual results, ex if you have a roofing business, and you are all about security, highlight the safety measures on the video and the results you got, then a testimonial highlighting exactly the benefit ā€œwe appreciate the safety concerns and got a beautiful roof faster than we expectedā€ finally, mention the future… We continue to increase our efforts for your safety and continue to provide the best roofs for all our customers.
