Core Message Platforms:
The Secret to Creating Marketing Messages That Sell
More Products, Programs, and Services
I gotta start by dropping this truth bomb for over-50 business builders…
If you hit your audience with inconsistent or muddled marketing messages, they’ll instantly tune you out.
One second you’re in their head… the next you’re forgotten.
That’s just the way it is.
Now, is weaving strong, consistent messaging throughout your marketing campaigns easy?
Nope. As you know, it’s a challenge.
Especially when you’re under the gun to crank out a sales page today, an email sequence tomorrow, and social posts that you need… well, yesterday would have been nice.
How do you avoid this fire drill?
I’ve got a practical solution that keeps your brand messaging clear, consistent, and packed with personality.
It’s called a Core Message Platform™.
What Exactly is a Core Message Platform?
It’s a comprehensive document (usually 10 to 15 pages) that includes a series of transformation-driven messages about your program, product, or service.
Its purpose is to serve as your overall “master messaging playbook.”
And here’s what’s really cool.
Working from a Core Message Platform™ assures you’ll have strong, uniformed marketing messages across all your promotion channels.
This is critical because…
Repetition of your message builds the reputation of your brand!
Tap Into My 30+ Years of Expertise
During my 30-year career I’ve written Core Message Platform™ documents for numerous:
- Online “wisdom business” entrepreneurs
- Executive consultants and coaches
- Health and wellness professionals
I’m certain I can leverage my extensive experience to develop a comprehensive Core Message Platform™ for you, too.
Your Custom Solution
Every Core Message Platform™ I’ve created is unique, and no two are organized exactly the same. So I can scale and customize one to meet your specific needs.
However, the platforms I’ve created typically include these sections:
Product, Program or Service
- Product tagline ideas
- Customer avatar (ideal client) description
- Description of the VOICE that will characterize your marketing messages
- Product positioning statement (how you want to be perceived in your market)
- Explanation of the transformation your product provides your customers
- Unique Selling Proposition message (based on your transformation statement)
- Three marketing messages that support your product’s secondary benefits
- Three core message benefit statements that overcome anticipated objections
Picture detailed marketing copy for all these sections bundled into a 10- to 15-page document, and you have a rock-solid Core Message Platform™.
Again, I can add or subtract sections and generate a custom platform that’s just right for you.
(I’ve got lots of samples I can show you!)
An Excess of Great Content
A Core Message Platform™ gives you an excess of great content you can draw from to create all the marketing pieces you need. Stuff like…
- Website copy
- Launch email sequences
- Sales and lead-gen pages
- Lead magnets
- Social media content
- Blog posts
- Newsletters
(All of which I can write for you!)
Working from a Core Message Platform™ also assures your messaging will be in alignment with other marketing materials in your campaign.
Think about it…
If you write marketing materials one at a time on a “make-it-up-as-you-go basis,” you’ll tend to write them over a period of weeks or months.
Do this, and your marketing messages will morph and wobble around as you go.
The result? Inconsistent voice, style, and substance.
This is like stepping in marketing quicksand.
Instead, want your brand messaging to be consistent, believable, and transformation focused.
Layer in a conversational tone… and you stop blending in and start breaking through.
Developing a Core Message Platform™ gives you this advantage.
A Distinct and Memorable VOICE
Creating a thorough Core Message Platform™ is the perfect way to develop a distinct voice and personality for your marketing copy.
This is critical in today’s world of robo-generated content where everyone sounds the same. For example, your voice may be:
- Fun and informal
- Soft and nurturing
- Edgy and direct to the point
- Authoritative and strong
- Bold and optimistic
- Opinionated and provocative
- Academic and intelligent
- Elegant and refined
Maybe best of all…
When you have 10 to 15 pages of attention-getting marketing messages that sound like YOU, you’re going to feel much more confident about promoting yourself!
A Core Message Platform™ really is the tool you need to:
- Build strong and memorable marketing messages
- Craft a powerful, positive image for your brand
- Hit your target audience with consistent messaging that pings their emotions
- Increase the revenue-generating power of your marketing content
- Attract loyal fans and a dedicated following
My Process
I have a straightforward three-step process I’ve used to write dozens of Core Message Platform™ documents.
STEP 1
I’ll collect and review background information about your product, program, or service. Things like:
- Previous marketing materials
- Rough copy you’ve written yourself
- Speeches and PowerPoint presentations
- Competitive websites
STEP 2
Next, I’ll interview you on Zoom to fill in the gaps in my research and get additional insights from you.
- Typical interview is 30 to 45 minutes
STEP 3
I’ll roll up my sleeves and develop your Core Message Platform™ and make revisions per your input. During this step I will…
- Deliver a first draft of your Core Message Platform™
- Provide a second draft after I’ve received your requests for edits
- Create a final, polished draft that incorporates all your final changes
Timing
I can deliver a first draft of your Core Message Platform™ within 10 business days of our project interview.
From start (research) to finish (final draft), the entire process typically takes three to four weeks.
BY THE WAY… I will create your Core Message Platform™ in a Google document, so you can review my work as I go. This speeds up our review process.
