Pain point marketing is marketing that highlights a problem your audience is experiencing and positions your product or service as the solution.
It's easy, creates an urgency, lack, need, and reminds them of just how badly they hurt!
Pain point marketing works and often grabs attention or raises alarm, but at what end?
In this episode, I share my own thoughts on pain point marketing and why I don't rely on making them cry to get them to buy.
Inside this episode on pain point marketing:
- Why pain point marketing is perpetuated and used often
- My issues with pain point marketing and ethical red flags
- How to balance emotions, benefits, and empathy in your marketing without tapping on pain points
- and MORE!
