random thought that could help your business

Published 2 months ago • 1 min read

Something I keep noticing lately:

People are trying to be too creative which ruins their clarity.

I notice it everywhere. Example:

My daughter's school has a thing tonight. Apparently the kids are performing something.

They sent a single random text message with a flyer attached.

It has a time and location. But that's about it.

Doesn't say what time to bring your kid. What they need to wear. Where they're supposed to go. Oh and the link in the text expired and doesn't do anything anymore.

I guess they assume you're just gonna show up and know what to do. Maybe so, but that's not the point.

If they spent as much time providing details as they did making their fancy flyer, it would be clear what to do.

I saw something similar on facebook the other day from a local restaurant. They had some event going on. Created a fancy flyer. The flyer basically said "go check the events page for details".

Uhhhh no. How about you give me a link or something?

It baffles me.

But there's a lesson here for any business:

Clarity beats cleverness.

Every time.

If you're putting on an event, running a special offer, doing anything that you want people to participate in...

Just tell them what to do as clearly as possible.

Don't worry about some fancy flyer or graphics. Heck plain text emails like this one you're reading have shown to outperform heavy graphic emails that take hours to create (depending on the industry and product obviously).

An easy test for this is run your messaging by a 10 year old. If they understand, you're doing good. If not, clarify more.

Quick follow up on my email I sent the other day about an older lady that needed an electric trike assembled. (If you missed the email, I pasted it in the P.S. below) As I mentioned, she decided to get someone else to do it because she was looking to get it done asap even if it cost more. Well funny story: the guy she got to do it is actually one of my clients! (He's local to me) Guess that proves my system works pretty well: first person she called was me. Second person she called was my...

Some people value speed over price. Even for simple things. Quick backstory to prove this point: I recently started up a test business to prove that my 3 step system works for pretty much any small business, even from scratch. So I started a bike repair/assembly business out of my garage. I'm doing work for free to help my community and get some reviews to my GBP. Anyway, an older lady called me today. I missed the call, but I have a missed call textback system in place (learn from this too)....
