Guide 4: Financial Planner's Guide to Positioning and Branding

How to maximise the effectiveness of marketing messages and client communication

Guide 4 cover.png

Advisers must optimise their marketing messages. Their expertise, experience and professionalism must be clearly communicated to prospective clients and reinforced with existing clients.

Prospective clients are time poor. Increasingly, they use the Internet to find an adviser, or to validate a word-of-mouth recommendation. How effective and consistent are your on-line marketing messages to prompt prospective clients to engage you?

Be proactive. Use positioning and branding to communicate marketing messages that resonant with clients. Always be demonstrating an understanding of their needs, and featuring the value and benefits of the advice based solutions you provide.

It doesn't matter how exceptional your advice is, if you can't communicate its value or stand out as the 'go-to expert' in your areas of specialisation. This is the 4th of 6 steps in maximising the effectiveness of marketing to create new client opportunities and better engage existing clients.

This Guide explains how to establish a clearly defined personal brand for advisers, and implement a positioning strategy for their practice.
