Marketing online today is much like Where’s Waldo. Your perfect client knows you’re out there somewhere but, like Waldo, your small business is lost in the massive amount of information published. Plus, there are suspiciously similar looking “Waldos” designed to throw your potential clients off course from finding the real deal.
Where’s Waldo is series of children’s books filled with pages of illustrations with dozens of people participating in a variety of fun activities at a certain location. The purpose of the book is to challenge the reader to find “Waldo” hidden in the group.
Waldo wears a distinctive red-and-white striped shirt, bobble hat, and glasses that make him easier to identify. However, the use of red-and-white striped “red herrings” is sprinkled throughout the illustration to throw the reader off course.
Finding Waldo
Doesn’t that sound eerily familiar? Your client – the one that should be hiring you – can’t seem to find you in the crowded marketplace. One by one, they click, connect, and engage various service providers – only to discover its yet another hollow chocolate Easter bunny. Plus, you have trouble finding your ideal client! How frustrating – for both of you.
