Let’s be honest: there’s nothing more frustrating than putting your heart into your business and hearing crickets. You’ve got the skills, the drive, and the passion, so why aren’t your dream clients knocking down your virtual door? The answer might be in your branding. If your brand isn’t aligned with the people you’re trying to attract, they’ll scroll right past you (ouch).
Not to worry—I’ve got you. Here are five telltale signs your brand isn’t speaking to the right audience and what you can do to fix it.
1. Your Visuals Are All Over the Place
If your Instagram looks like a mishmash of colours, fonts, and graphics, it’s time for a refresh. Your visuals should tell a cohesive story that feels like you. If they don’t, your audience won’t stick around long enough to figure you out.
Fix it: Create a consistent visual identity. Pick a colour palette, font suite, and aesthetic that aligns with your vibe. Better yet, invest in a custom brand style guide to keep everything on point.
2. You’re Attracting the Wrong Clients
If you keep getting inquiries from people who aren’t your ideal fit, it’s a sign your brand isn’t attracting the right crowd. You want clients who light you up, not ones who drain your energy.
Fix it: Align your brand visuals and messaging with the clients you want. Think about what they value, what they’re drawn to, and how they want to feel when working with you. Then, adjust your branding to reflect that.
3. Your Messaging Doesn’t Feel Clear
You know what you do—but does your audience? If your website or social media copy leaves people scratching their heads, they won’t take the next step to work with you. Clarity is key!
Fix it: Get clear on your brand voice and message. Speak directly to your dream clients’ struggles and goals. Need help? A branding expert (like me!) can help you nail your tone and put you in touch with an incredible copywriter who will put it all together for you!
4. You Don’t Feel Confident in Your Brand
If you cringe a little every time you send someone your website link or business card, that energy shows. Confidence in your brand is contagious, and your dream clients will pick up on it.
Fix it: Invest in a brand that feels like you. When you’re proud of your branding, you’ll show up with confidence, and that will naturally attract your ideal clients.
5. Your Brand Feels Like Everyone Else’s
If your brand blends in with the crowd, your dream clients won’t notice you. Standing out doesn’t mean being loud—it means being authentically you.
Fix it: Focus on what makes your business unique and highlight that in your branding. Your quirks, values, and story are your superpowers—don’t shy away from them!
