People won't remember every word you say. They won't remember every tweet you write or every Facebook post you publish. People won't remember every visual image post to Instagram.
However, people will remember how you made them feel.
When it comes to marketing, experience is everything. Smart brands know how to create personalized experiences that are memorable, meaningful and inspire the recipient on the other end to connect with the brand in a real and human way.
The truth is, customer experience is your brand. You can spend days, weeks, months and years and hundreds of thousands of dollars crafting the perfect brand story, brand and message architecture and still miss connecting with your audience, customers and broader community in a personal and human way.
You have to realize it's not about you. It's about them.
It's not about being perfect. It's about being human. It's about creating human experiences that give other people a glimpse into who you are, what you are and what you can, and will, do for them.
Would you like to better inspire and connect with your audience, customers and online or offline communities? Would you like them to feel like they know you and you know them?
