What Goes Wrong
Inside-Out: Organization Centered
VS.
Outside-In: Target Centered
![Page 18: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
What Goes Wrong
• Clues you have an Inside-Out message:– You see your organization’s key messages as
inherently desirable– Lack of marketing success is blamed on
audience ignorance and/or lack of motivation– Little effort put into target audience research– Marketing is used only to promote
organization and its needs – one-way conversations
![Page 19: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
CONSIDERATIONS
![Page 20: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Considerations• Some things to remember
– Have a strategic messaging team – representatives from across the organization
– Clearly articulated mission statement is a vital precursor to message development
– Determine if your desired actions align with your programs
– Discuss. Through the discussion your goal should be reach consensus on the desired action. Once you think you’ve obtained consensus, write it down.
![Page 21: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Considerations
• Mission vs. Message– Mission
• Internally focused• Goals of organization• Only one mission
– Message• Externally focused• Based upon the mission, but tailored to the unique
goals and motivations of the audience• Persuade people to take action
![Page 22: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

What Goes Wrong
• Clues you have an Inside-Out message:– You have a “silver bullet” marketing strategy,
using the same tactic over and over.– Your message differs depending on who/what
delivers it– Competition is ignored. Every other message
competes with yours!
![Page 24: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Audience

Personas
• Context:– A nonprofit is launching a new community fitness program and needs to
promote it to community activists, politicians, and citizens, and to motivate their involvement. The staff needs to know what’s important to these audiences, so it can shape its messages, website and blog (a centerpiece of the campaign), brochures and events accordingly.
• Challenge:– This is the first time the organization is proactively communicating to
motivate the launch of fit community programs. The campaign will center on a new blog and Web site, but the nonprofit doesn’t know how to design message to most effectively educate its diverse audiences and motivate them to act. The communications team just doesn’t know where to start.

Personas
Annoyed By…One problem Frank has noticed as he walks is that the traffic speeds along his street (a connector between two arterial streets) are often well in excess of the 25MPH posted speed limit.
.
Frank has made comments about the high speeds to his city council representative, who is, with Frank, a member of the local Lions Club. But the council-person, while sympathetic, hasn’t done anything other than to suggest that Frank should lodge a complaint with someone at the city, or the police. Meanwhile, the speeding cars continue, and Frank feels unsafe as he walks.
![Page 44: ProEd 549 Marketing Messaging](https://reader038.vdocument.in/reader038/viewer/2022110307/5555d72ad8b42a711f8b4ce3/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
Personas
Online HabitsLike some in his age group, Frank is a late-comer to computers and the Internet. He needed to learn to use a computer-based service mounted in his truck the last few years he was working, and struggled to keep up with the technology that seemed to come much easier to younger people in the firm..
Frank purchased a computer primarily to use e-mail with his children, but he also has used several programs such as QuickBooks and tax-prep software. His connection to the Internet is still through DSL so it’s not the fastest and Frank doesn’t like to wait around to see family videos on You Tube or other Web content.

Personas
Successful community
fitness program
Slower traffic; neighborhood
safety
Messaging focused on safe biking and walking, rather than the need to follow traffic safety rules. Citizen campaign recruitment efforts focused on neighbor-to-neighbor messengers, postering and door-to-door flyers. The response was strong.

"Comprehensive community building naturally lends itself to a return-on-investment rationale that can be modeled, drawing on existing practice," it begins, going on to argue that "[a] factor constraining the flow of resources to CCIs is that funders must often resort to targeting or categorical requirements in grant making to ensure accountability."

• Do not just make lists• Do not overwhelm with information• Bad communication talks about HOW an
organization does the work. Good communication shows WHY an organization is needed and WHAT happens in the world as a result of its work.

• Tappers hear the song in their head• Listeners hear only a disconnected series
of taps• Curse of Knowledge.
– Once we know something, we find it hard to imagine what it was like not to know it. It becomes difficult for us to share our knowledge with others, because we can't readily re-create our listeners' state of mind.

Delivery & Tools
• “The challenge for companies (of any size) is to find a way to build sustainable, relationship-minded business processes that account for the new buying methods of an educated, mobile, personalization-minded buying market. Some of what online tools do well is address all of this. But that’s like saying a great pen will help you write better. It’s not about the tools. It’s about a choice to understand how to stand out as a provider of value above-and-beyond-the-sale to one’s customer base...The fact that technology makes our voice easier to hear, does not mean people will listen.” –Chris Brogan
