Students, teachers, and many anxious parents can sometimes have mixed emotions regarding the back-to-school season! While it brings about a long to-do list for some, business owners can rejoice due to the many unique opportunities it brings for promotion. Americans who are equipping their children and themselves for this time of year are estimated to part with around $37 billion to properly prepare. Here are some unique ideas for messaging ideas that resonate well with those preparing for new locker combinations and lunch prep time.
“Prior to In-depth Approach” Tips:
Regardless of how you might want to decide to get your specific back-to-school message across, here are a few “outer-layer” basics that keep best practices in mind:
- The Sense in Short and Sweet: It’s easy to put so much energy into this time of vitality and change that you may overthink your entire strategy. The customers you want to reach are busy making sure they get back into your routine, so you just need a very clear and concise message to assure that your point is made accurately and legitimately.
- Attention-Commanding and Cunning CTA: during each point of your presentation, video or blog, keep in mind what your end goal is. If that goal is to have more sign-ups, subscribers, and new followers, be sure to be consistent with tangible call-to-action phrases.
- Breaking Molds, Building Value: To solve a particular pain point, provide savings or an attention-grabbing discount, or anything else along the way, alerting users to how valuable your business is will always gain momentum. One excellent example is Uber, which drew in so many by letting them know that they simply need “one tap and a car comes directly to you.”
