Different Forms of Communication

25th February 2014

In the coming weeks, we are going to dive deep into the different forms of communication—both written and verbal—that you can use as part of your VA Marketing Toolbox.

These communication processes are designed to help you get your message across and, most importantly, attract the right clients. By the end of this blog series, you will be able to decide which methods match your budget and your schedule. Once you find what works and gets results – keep at it!

Why Multi-Channel Marketing Matters

Nothing in marketing works in total isolation. For a strategy to be effective, different forms of communication need to work together.

For example:

  • The “One-Off” Trap: One advert on its own is a one-time message. If it isn’t seen again, it becomes a high-cost, low-result method.

  • The “Invisible” Website: Having a website without anything driving visitors to it is a pointless task.

By using different forms of ongoing communication, you continue the flow of information. This not only relays your message but builds a relationship with your audience, ensuring your brand remains at the forefront of their minds. Remember, people rarely buy after seeing a single message; regular communication in different formats is what creates a real impact.

Keep it Targeted and Cost-Effective

The specific tools you choose will depend entirely on your niche and what is likely to capture the attention of your potential clients.

The good news? Marketing doesn’t have to be expensive. As a Virtual Assistant, you want to keep your marketing as “virtual” and low-cost as possible. You don’t need to spend thousands on traditional advertising to see a return.

The Biggest Mistake VAs Make

One common mistake VAs make is cutting down on marketing activity during an economic downturn or when funds are tight. All this does is stop people from hearing about you and sends them straight to your competitors. You don’t want to miss out on clients just because you stopped showing up!

Next week, we will start looking at Referrals and how to overcome the “cringe” factor of asking people you know for a recommendation.


Stop Worrying and Start Growing

Is your VA business keeping you awake at night? Whether you are just starting out and feeling lost, or you’re an established VA stuck in a rut, you don’t have to figure it out alone.

If you want to build a sustainable business, stop worrying about where the next lead is coming from, and finally start getting money through the door, it’s time to surround yourself with the right tools and community.
