Are You Giving the Answer to a Problem?

Life is full of problems both big and small. Many of these are just little inconveniences in life that people get used to. You just don't really think about it anymore, and because of that, you can be given a pleasant surprise when you find a solution to it.


This should be the goal of any good marketing. The more you know about your customers the more of their problems you'll be able to pinpoint and provide potential solutions for.


One type of product I've noticed that seems to do this particularly well are various tools for home improvement. A trademark of most commercials for these kinds of products is that they go briefly through a number of different ways you can use their product around the house. Many of these are ways I would've never actually thought of myself, but once they mention it the light clicks on and I realize that it really could make things a lot easier.


This is exactly what your marketing needs to be able to do as well. Often this doesn't have to be something large, either. Even small conveniences can do wonders to sell a product.


Think about something like this the next time you do postcard printing. Try to find something your product can do to make a person's life easier, something you're sure that every one of your customers will want.


Now, you make this the focus of your postcard printing. Be sure that each postcard takes this message and focuses on it. The fact that people are going to be looking at your postcard while standing in their home can add a lot of weight to an approach like this. When they pick up your postcard and read through it you want them to then glance around their house and think to themselves that they really could use your product to make things easier.


Try out your postcards on some sample groups and ask them what the first thing is that comes to mind. This is one of the best ways to find out if your postcard is hitting on just the right kind of message. If people immediately think about the different ways your product can help them out than you know you're on the right track.


A format like this can work for just about any kind of advertising. Brochures give you a chance to list more than one way your product can help, just as posters can be put up in locations where people can then easily buy your product once you have their interest.


Just remember that if you can give people a good reason why their life would be better with your help, you've made the best first step towards ensuring their interest in the future.
