Remember what your mother told you (Repetition Works!)
What message from Mom (or Dad) sticks with you? Is it "Always
wear clean underwear"? How about "If you can't say something
nice, don't say anything at all"? Or is it something else
entirely? Mine is "Clean your plate." (This could explain the
excess poundage around my hips!)
These bits of advice stick with us for one big reason -
Repetition. You and I heard these messages again...and
again...and again.
That's the marketing communications lesson for the day. If you
want your audience to absorb your message, repeat it. And I
don't mean two or three times, either. Current wisdom says it
can take nine or more repetitions for a message to sink in.
Wondering why it takes such an effort to make an impact?
Consider these facts.
* Your target audience is probably inundated with messages. It
takes an effort to break through the clutter. Repetition,
combined with an intriguing presentation, will increase your
odds of being noticed.
* Prospects buy when they're ready. You need to be out there
consistently to capture the prospect's attention when he or
she's in purchasing mode.
* We retain
only about 10% of the information we're exposed to
each day. Repetition increases the chance your message will be
part of that lucky 10%.
So repeat, repeat, repeat your core message. But you don't have
to use the same vehicle over and over. The most successful
marketing communications programs use a variety of techniques to
deliver a company's message: publicity, direct mail,
advertising, trade shows, web site, literature and more.
Mixing it up increases a program's effectiveness since prospects
get the same message in a variety of forms. It can also make
repetition more affordable.
