Do you ever feel like you’re repeating yourself? Saying the same things again and again in your newsletter, blog, or on social media? Talking about the same services, the same problems and solutions? Making the same offer? Promoting the same event?
You want to stay in touch with your list (and you should), but if you keep saying the same things, they’re going to tune out.
Or will they?
They tuned in because they’re interested in the things you know and share. So don’t change your message. Change the way you present your message.
As a friend of mine puts it, “Change the wrapping paper around your core idea and you can repeat the same message every time you connect. . . but it will feel new and different”.
The simplest and often the most potent way to do that is to tell a different story.
It can be something simple—something your client or another party said or did, a question they asked, how you met them, or something you thought about the facts or the law.
You can write about almost anything and make your blog post or article interesting. . . and different.
You can even write about your pets.
If you’ve followed me for a while, you may recall that I used to have cats and wrote about them from time to time. I’d talk about things they did or about a recent trip to the vet and how long they kept us waiting before they saw us, and use this as an example of how not to treat your clients in your waiting room.
You can use things that happen to you personally or in your practice to add color and interest to your message, without changing your message.
Change the wrapping paper and you can keep readers interested and engaged no matter how often you deliver your message.
