Time to practice authority marketing!
Have you noticed when you watch news channels or talk shows, they always bring in experts to join the conversation and state their points and expert opinions?
Or how about when you are watching commercials and you see celebrity endorsements? Why does Nike use Michael Jordan, Lincoln use Matthew McConaughey, and other companies pay millions and millions to have celebrities talk about their brands? Why? Because authority marketing works!
The question is how can you use these two models in your marketing efforts? Lets start with being an expert. Answer the following questions:
Are you an expert and a celebrity in your community? How do you know if you are?
Experts and celebrities are:
- Asked by the media for interviews on the radio, TV, magazines, etc.
- Positioned as the “go-to person” for your expertise
- Authors are published in magazines
- Have written books
- Have videos discussing their expertise
- Active on LinkedIn
- Members of leadership groups
- Contributors to the community
If you answered NO to most, don’t worry. You can change your present positioning. How?
By having an authority marketing strategy. The following steps will help you change and improve your positioning:
1. Start writing
It can be articles, a blog, or a book. Not everyone can write, but you can learn. If you want to be an expert, this is an important part of the authority status. When you get published, you can use those articles or books in your marketing. InSPAration Management has grown by leaps and bounds because of my articles and my book. Though I have been writing for years, the book put my business on steroids. And you can do the same.
2. Start speaking
Another key ingredient to position you as an expert and celebrity is speaking. I know most people would rather die than engage in public speaking. Again, you can do it! You can start learning how to become a great speaker. Start speaking to small groups and gradually increase that to larger audiences. Before you know, it you will be invited to speak at all sorts of events.
Speaking will set you apart from the rest. If you want differentiation from the competition, start going to professional chapters in your community and give short lectures on how to live a healthier lifestyle. Or how to look younger, or how to lose weight…whatever your specialty is. Once you start speaking, you can take pictures and video so you can repurpose your speaking to market you as the expert.
3. Establish Media Relations
Media professionals are looking for talented people to help them create shows. I was speaking to a new client recently who is coming to the Write a Book in One Weekend Seminar. We were talking about her efforts with the media and she proceeded to tell me this story.
She said, “I was watching my local news the other night and they were featuring the VelaShape Laser, but they were using a person from another state to talk about it. I was so mad that I called up the station to find out why they had not asked me when I live locally. They indicated that they did not know I had the VelaShape Laser.”
The mistake she made was not sending out a press release to the media informing them of this new laser she had. Had she taken the time to build media relations and position herself as the go-to person, they would have approached her for advice. There are missed opportunities like this one all the time.
Being asked for interviews is the best kind of marketing you can do, and it’s free. Send out press releases on a regular basis.
4. Establish a YouTube Channel
Begin filming short segments to give advice to the community. Go check out www.SpaBizTV.com and see what I did. You can do something similar on your site or your YouTube channel. You can do product reviews, treatment demonstrations, interviews with clients, and more.
These are strategies I practice, and they work. Writing, speaking, filming, and having relations with all spa trades. My marketing budget is reduced now. I don’t need to spend money on marketing because people come to me now. I practice pull marketing rather then push marketing. I practice authority marketing and I want to help you do the same.
I am inviting you to join me for the Write Your Book in One Weekend Seminar. This will help you kick-start your authority marketing strategy and drastically improve your positioning.
If you are an entrepreneur who owns a spa or medi spa business, writing a book will give you an edge over the competition. Being a published author will put your business on steroids.
This is exactly what the CoachMe Platinum members did! They are now published authors.
