Consistent Branding will Increase Sales
I have no doubt that before you opened your coaching doors you thought long and hard about the message of your company, from the words on your website to the colors of your logo. The same kind of strategy should occur when you’re creating products for your audience.
While the product graphics don’t have to look exactly like your website, there should be repeating elements so your subscribers and clients will recognize the product as being yours. Whether that’s the same color palette or font, repetition develops trust and name recognition. And once people trust you, they are more likely to become repeat buyers.
Repetition is also important when you have a series of products, whether it’s a series of ebooks, webinars, or classes. For instance, do you know that section of Amazon that shows the “Customers who bought this also bought” section? If an author’s series of books show up, all looking similar in design, the reader would know right away that this author is a credible authority because, after all, look at all the books she’s published!
If the books in this section are all different in design – whether it’s because they are by different authors or because the series author didn’t think about consistent branding – the credibility rating is not as dramatic. The readers might think they belong to all different authors or they cover topics different from the original book they published. Make it as easy as possible for customers to recognize and purchase your products through consistent visual branding. Making them confused or having to jump through hoops will lessen your sales and possibly hurt your credibility.
What Types of Products Should You Offer?
So many coaches focus on high-end products and forget that not all their clients will purchase their high-end products right away. In fact, that’s the rarity instead of the norm.
In most cases, people will hear your name and want to learn more about you. But they’ve worked hard for their money and will likely want to hear you speak or understand what your coaching practices and beliefs are prior to buying a package from you.
What better way to encourage potential new clients than to offer low-end products for them to test out before buying a high-end coaching product?
As an example, my two “low end” offers are my “Write your Rockstar Media Kit in a Weekend”. It’s a 25+ page workbook that walks you step by step to create a media kit you can use to gain media and visibility. Plus the Media Spotlight Start Pack, a 3 modules + workbook video course that teaches clients to have a solid media plan.
I offer them in my clubhouse rooms as well as on social, it allows the space for prospective clients to enter into my funnels. It’s a great stand-alone product as well. What products can you create as a low-end offer?
