The first part of any effective marketing is to identify who and what makes an ideal client.
A lot of confusion comes into play on this topic because most think target market and ideal client are the same. They are not. Ideal clients are a market segment of your target market.

With the shift in how people make buying decisions, it's crucial to recognize that customers now have more control over their research and evaluation process. Online research, reviews, and peer recommendations. As a business, you need to be present throughout this process.

Once you narrow your client focus and attract with a core message, it's simply a matter getting your message seen in the right places.

The thing that's changed the most in marketing is how people choose to become customers - meet them where they are! Online consuming information.

A core message allows you to stand out in minds of those clients who need you and will gladly pay a premium to work with you.

You can't serve everyone, not profitably anyway. By narrowing your focus to your best clients, you get to serve only ideal clients.
