Your prospects and customers are all on a journey.
As you can see, marketing touches more than just the acquisition phase. As you look to market, you’ll want to be aware of who you customers are and what issues they are trying to solve (pain points).Are all you customers and prospects coming to you for the same reason?Where do they currently turn to get the answers they need?What motivates them to place their children with you? Give Simon Sinek babysitting example (16yr from neighbourhood and 34 Let’s take a second to list some of their needs.
Up until about 8 – 10 years ago, the only real means of advertising was to create an ad (Print or Broadcast) – your message was one to many.Today, you have the ability to market 1 to 1, though many may see your communications.We’ve moved from disruptive technology (an ad that disrupts your next song, the rest of the show, the paragraph in the magazine) to a more inclusive process making information and opportunity to buy when and where they want. Especially since our audiences have gotten so very good at tuning us out.Give example
Now that our prospects have access to information 24/7 – it’s imperative that we think about our strategies.How and where are you going to connect with customers and prospects to ensure they hear your message.Can you think of who you need to be communicating with to let people know that you now have an availability?What’s in it for those considering leaving their kids with unlicensed caregivers, or Grandma and Grandpa?Who is taking advantage of the one sign-up portal?

Your marketing strategy needs to align with your business goals. A goal to make “more money” isn’t really a goal it’s an outcome of achieving your goals. By way of example you can increase your sales, and still not be making more money. Is everyone in the room familiar with your mission, values and business goals for the year?

To have an effective integrated marketing campaign, it’s important to understand not only your business and marketing objectives and your customers. It will be in your best interests to have a consistent message and “voice”. So let’s look at an example of planning a message and then review how we’d change it for a scenario. We have a couple who’ve just had their first child. Lot’s of those, but one lives in the country, from a dual income family of both working professionals, own their home, and have family nearby. The second is a young couple, both working shift, renting their apartment with no family in town. Would you use the same message for both of them?
