The 4Cs of Connection Marketing
01
CONNECT
Connection points allow for you to showcase your heart, your values, and your mission openly and in detail. How do you develop these connection points with your audience? It starts with knowing who you get the best results for.
02
CREATE
Now that you’re connecting with your audience, it’s time to create a relationship. In the “create” phase of relationship marketing, we dig into understanding why people buy your products or services.
03
CONVERT
This is the marriage phase - where we cross over the bridge from marketing to sales. While connecting with new people and growing your audience is important - the point of relationship marketing is to actually convert people into PAYING customers for your business.
04
COMMUNICATE
Your client relationship doesn’t end after you’ve made a sale, in fact - that’s really where the relationship begins. Most marketing agencies focus on front end sales - we focus on retention as well!
Connection Marketing Converts
Connection marketing is a lot like dating - it's all about getting to know the person on the other end. It focuses on building a relationship, appealing to emotion, and truly understanding your ideal clients. When people feel heard and understood - they convert.
Transactional Marketing Focuses on Short Term Goals - We Focus on LONG Term Success!
Transactional marketing focuses on the use of appealing offers to make quick (and often one time) sales. Connection marketing focuses on building relationships with strangers on the internet and turning them into long-term clients!
We're bringing Purpose and Passion to Marketing - so we can create an impact!
PURPOSE
We're going beyond traditional marketing strategies. We aren't just marketing, we're marketing with purpose. We focus on delivering the right message to the right audience. We know that people buy based on emotion and justify with logic - which is why our marketing strategies are designed to connect with your ideal clients on an emotional level.
PASSION
We're not just passionate about our own brand - we're passionate about yours. Because we know that lack of passion will cause people to lose interest - fast! We make sure that your message is communicated with clearly - with the energy that will attract your very best clients.
