- Just like your favorite songs, the best marketing messages have structure that amplifies, repeats and reinforces the emotions that drive actions Think of it this way: The story you are going to tell should be contained in punchy chunks – the verses. The whole story gets told across the span of the song, yet each verse makes a key point. First verse sets up the store and the rest tell it out. The chorus is that catchy and repetitive refrain that you can’t get out of your head. Those are the key value points that you know customers yearn for and cherish. We repeat the heck out of them so that they remember them and you in the process. The chorus is THE message worth repeating and so it is. The bridge, is that little thematic twist in the song, think of it as secret sauce or the hook that gets the listener really thinking about the chorus, that is your unique value and tees up the chorus one more time. The takeaway here is that your message must be ordered, tell a good story, repeatedly tell them what’s in it for them all while playing on their emotions. [Ted] Although the sales cycle varies from industry to industry and from customer to customer, repetition is the nagging motivator that drives a buying decision. If you hear something enough, you’re going to believe it. So you better be repeating YOUR message—that is, banging on your drum all day—in as many venues as possible, in person, over the phone, email, newsletters, collateral, and social media.
