When they’re drowning in information

by: Melissa Mannozzi

Don’t give them what they want

Do you ever find yourself trying to digest a swarm of information from email and the web, then end up falling through endless wormholes of ideas, forums and downloads? So do your customers.

With so much information available today, people struggle to keep their heads above water. Make sure you’re the one your customer hears above the noise by giving them what they need and speaking to them in the right voice.

Talk to marketers and they’ll have no problem describing their target market to you. Unfortunately, many don’t take that knowledge and use it to better understand their target audience when writing copy, blog posts or website pages.

If you don’t fully understand and consider the target audience for your marketing and sales materials, how can you expect those materials to succeed in attracting more business?

Here are some basics on better understanding your audience that will help you sharpen your focus.

Does Your Marketing Make This Social Faux Pas?

by Mistina Picciano  ||   No Comments

Imagine you’re at a cocktail party. You bump into an attractive member of the opposite sex and start chatting. This pleasant person proceeds to share details about his (or her) education, career history, awards, community service…

How long would it take for your eyes to glaze over?

We know that society generally frowns upon braggarts. Yet, when it comes to marketing materials, many companies think this self-centered approach is perfectly acceptable.

Does Your Website Content Make You Sound Like “That Guy”?

by Mistina Picciano  ||   No Comments

We all know the type: He’s the one at the cocktail party or networking breakfast you can’t escape fast enough.

Why?

Because he’s going on and on about nothing that you care about.

Recently, a friend introduced me to a web developer, usually one of my favorite new contact categories. He heard what we do at Market It Write – and proceeded to educate me on search engine optimization.

I (politely) interrupted him and told him that, yes, I understood what he was saying. We partner with many web development firms to create sites that combine relevant content with social media tools to achieve high organic search engine rankings.

What Motivates Your Prospect?

by Travis Heermann  ||   No Comments

The Myers-Briggs Temperament Test is an increasingly popular way to identify what makes a person tick. The Myers-Briggs Test, originally developed in the 1950s, is now used worldwide to identify patterns of behavior and attitude. The expansion of the test’s popularity has been spurred in large part by Dr. David Keirsey, who refined and expanded the Myers-Briggs types in his books, Please Understand Me and Please Understand Me II.

Human temperament theory states the following: all individuals can be categorized as one of four basic personality types. These personality types can each be broken down into four sub-types based on introversion/extroversion and the person’s preferred role as leader/follower, but those sub-types are irrelevant to the core values of the main types. Each holds a specific core value–the thing that drives people of that type.

What our clients have to say:

Lee Angus

“I loved having Market it Write do the interviews and walk us through the drafts to the final version, and I was impressed with your ability to condense the story to meet our needs. It was also nice to have someone ‘outside’ write the story. The results seemed more objective than they would have been if I had written it.”
