359. Marketing with Purpose Using Authenticity, Intention, and Generosity with Pete Steege

Marketing with purpose is a key part of building your business.

This can often feel intimidating. The key to successful marketing is to align it with your purpose and values.

Three Components for Marketing With Purpose

Focus on these three components to achieve successful marketing with purpose: authenticity, intention, and generosity.

Embracing Authenticity

With so much focus on social media, fake authenticity may feel rampant. Genuine authenticity comes from being transparent and truly understanding your purpose. It involves knowing why you started your business and having the courage to share your mission consistently with your audience. Being transparent and honest with your audience builds trust, which is foundational in relationship marketing.

The Power of Intention

With so many tools and marketing platforms available, it can be overwhelming to know where to start, and frequently, businesses are doing too much. Less is more when marketing with purpose. You want to be intentional about where you spend your time and who you surround yourself with. Think about your soulmate client and look for 2-3 of the biggest blocks that they are facing and provide thoughtful and impactful solutions for these potential clients. Rather than spreading your efforts thinly across multiple marketing channels, focus on 1-2 areas, do them well, and stick with them. Marketing with purpose means being very intentional about where you focus your efforts and keeps you aligned with your broader goals.

Generosity as a Superpower

Generosity is not commonly seen as a marketing strategy but is a crucial component of marketing with purpose. Giving without expecting anything in return helps build relationships. When you ask someone to meet with you, you ask them for their time. Instead, try offering something that you believe will be helpful for them; giving something without asking for anything in return helps form strong connections and trust.

You can provide a lot of information without giving it all away. Consider what you can offer that provides a sound idea of the bigger picture of your services - what you offer and how you help your clients—the solution you provide for them.

Bringing It All Together

Marketing with purpose is not just about selling products or services; it's about building relationships grounded in authenticity, intention, and generosity. Entrepreneurs can build trust and cultivate lasting connections with their audience by focusing on these core elements. Whether you're a seasoned marketer or starting your business, these principles (authenticity, generosity, and your superpower) can guide you to more meaningful and effective marketing strategies.
