Marketing is like asking someone on a date
* Marketing is like asking someone on a date 💌
* Why “marketing is like asking someone on a date” makes total sense 💡
* Yes, really! “Marketing is like asking someone on a date” 👀
If you’ve ever felt nervous about selling or sharing your business, think of it this way:
marketing is like asking someone on a date. You don’t rush. You don’t yell.
You gently guide the person through curiosity, fun, and trust. 💘
💡 Spark Interest First (Like a Wink Across the Room)
- 🎯 Post something eye-catching – a quote, a bold color, a real emotion.
- 📸 Great visuals stop the scroll. Try using tools like Canva or Pablo by Buffer.
- 📍 Use short captions or questions like “Guess what happened today?”
🗣️ Start Talking (Flirty but Friendly)
- 💬 Drop a post that teaches something small and helpful.
- 😊 Use humor, emojis, and heart – just like you’d charm someone on a date.
- 🔗 Share useful URLs like: HubSpot’s Resource Library
💌 Build That Connection (Don’t Be Pushy!)
- 💻 Send sweet emails – not spam. Try platforms like MailerLite or ConvertKit.
- 🎁 Offer value: checklists, downloads, or a free video.
- 🤝 Just like in dating, people want to feel seen – not sold to.
🔁 Be Consistent, But Not Clingy
- 📅 Post on a rhythm – weekly, bi-weekly, whatever you can keep up with.
- 📣 Show up, but don’t scream. It’s attraction, not chasing!
- ⏳ People buy when *they’re* ready, not when *you* are desperate.
❤️ 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 — you put yourself out there,
some will ghost 👻, some will say maybe 🤔, and some will say YES 💍.
- 👻 Ghosters – They saw your page, liked it, but didn’t feel ready. Let ’em go.
- 💬 Flirts – They comment, maybe sign up, not yet buyers. Keep nurturing.
- ❤️ Loyal Ones – They follow, buy, refer. Treat them like gold.
🌈 Keep the Vibe Alive
- 📹 Make content that *feels* like you – try Vidyo.ai to turn long videos into short reels.
- 🎙️ Use voice. Record quick tips using tools like Spotify for Podcasters.
- 🎨 Be playful. Use memes, poems, and even song lyrics (like this one!)
🎶 Marketing is dating, it’s a vibe,
Build connection, not just hype.
From a glance to trust so true,
They’ll buy from me — or tell a friend too. 🎶
