Balancing Self-Promotion with Positive Customer Experience

positive customer experience

Marketing is all about getting your brand in front of potential customers, but the key is to do so in a way that doesn’t turn them off. Spamming is a common problem for many businesses, but what about our own marketing strategies? Are we guilty of the same mistake?

4Thought Marketing believes that the key to successful marketing is finding the balance between excellent self-promotion and providing a positive customer experience. In this blog post, we’ll explore a few ways to achieve this balance and ensure your marketing campaigns are effective and well-received.

Make a Personal Connection

Cold messaging or cold calling is an essential part of sales, but it doesn’t have to be impersonal. Before sending an email or social media message, take the time to learn about the recipient’s interests and business goals. Show a genuine interest in these goals and demonstrate how your product or service can help.

It’s also crucial to address your recipient by their name. Being addressed as “Sir/Madam” or “Customer” is a quick turn-off for potential customers, so take the time to learn their name and use it in your personalized emails.

Avoid Mass, Worthless Messages

Mass messages are one of the most annoying sales experiences for many customers. These messages often show that the sender didn’t take the time to learn anything about the recipient and just pasted their email into a long list.

Marketing is as much about building relationships with your clients as it is about selling. So, choose your audience based on their interest in your brand and their interactions with you. Don’t just collect a list of email addresses or social media handles and send out a generic promotional message. And never add people to your subscription list without their permission, as this increases the likelihood of them labeling you as a spammer.

Offer Something of Value

Whether you’re sending an email, posting on social media, or commenting on a forum, always offer something of value to your reader. Don’t fill your message with your brand’s logo and multiple links to your website. Instead, make a valuable contribution to the conversation or offer a discount code. Make your audience feel like they’ve gained something from you.

Find the Right Balance

The ultimate measure of your marketing campaign’s success is not the number of ads you post or messages you send, but conversions and customer satisfaction with you and your products or services. As you plan your next marketing campaign, pay attention to customer responses to your ads and find the right strategy for promoting yourself.
