* Marketing is like asking someone on a date π
* Why “marketing is like asking someone on a date” makes total sense π‘
* Yes, really! “Marketing is like asking someone on a date” π
If youβve ever felt nervous about selling or sharing your business, think of it this way:
marketing is like asking someone on a date. You donβt rush. You donβt yell.
You gently guide the person through curiosity, fun, and trust. π
π‘ Spark Interest First (Like a Wink Across the Room)
- π― Post something eye-catching β a quote, a bold color, a real emotion.
- πΈ Great visuals stop the scroll. Try using tools like Canva or Pablo by Buffer.
- π Use short captions or questions like βGuess what happened today?β
π£οΈ Start Talking (Flirty but Friendly)
- π¬ Drop a post that teaches something small and helpful.
- π Use humor, emojis, and heart β just like you’d charm someone on a date.
- π Share useful URLs like: HubSpotβs Resource Library
π Build That Connection (Don’t Be Pushy!)
- π» Send sweet emails β not spam. Try platforms like MailerLite or ConvertKit.
- π Offer value: checklists, downloads, or a free video.
- π€ Just like in dating, people want to feel seen β not sold to.
π Be Consistent, But Not Clingy
- π Post on a rhythm β weekly, bi-weekly, whatever you can keep up with.
- π£ Show up, but donβt scream. Itβs attraction, not chasing!
- β³ People buy when *they’re* ready, not when *you* are desperate.
β€οΈ Understand the Options (Not Everyone’s Your Match)
Here’s the truth: not everyone you market to will say yes, and that’s okay.
Marketing is like asking someone on a date β you put yourself out there,
some will ghost π», some will say maybe π€, and some will say YES π.
- π» Ghosters β They saw your page, liked it, but didnβt feel ready. Let ’em go.
- π¬ Flirts β They comment, maybe sign up, not yet buyers. Keep nurturing.
- β€οΈ Loyal Ones β They follow, buy, refer. Treat them like gold.
π Keep the Vibe Alive
- πΉ Make content that *feels* like you β try Vidyo.ai to turn long videos into short reels.
- ποΈ Use voice. Record quick tips using tools like Spotify for Podcasters.
- π¨ Be playful. Use memes, poems, and even song lyrics (like this one!)
πΆ Marketing is dating, itβs a vibe,
Build connection, not just hype.
From a glance to trust so true,
Theyβll buy from me β or tell a friend too. πΆ
π΅ Examples That Hit the Right Note
- π‘ Apple never yells βBUY!β β they whisper βLook how cool this is.β
- π Glossier makes you feel like you’re joining a community, not just buying makeup.
- π₯ Check out Neil Patel’s YouTube β gentle, helpful, steady trust-building.
π Your Action Steps (Go Flirt with the Market!)

- π Start a friendly, helpful email series on Mailchimp.
