Marketing With a Central Theme

The typical consumer is besieged by sales messages throughout the day. Make yours easy to remember by giving your ad, brochure or web site a single theme that customers can focus on.

This theme constitutes your central selling message.

What if your product has several benefits, each of which is valuable to your customer? Try to wrap these benefits around your main theme. You can communicate a single theme more effectively and economically than a range of benefits.

If it's not possible to develop a central theme, consider creating separate marketing communications for each benefit.

The principle of theme applies to the entire brand, not just to one marketing communications piece. Constantly repeating the brand's theme will implant it firmly in the customer's memory.
