(WIIFM) What’s In It For Me

WIIFM is the stuff that shows how or why what you have to sell or say matters to those who you are trying to sell or say it too. It’s the value proposition, the thing that makes them realize that what you’re offering is worth their money or their time.

 

HOW ARE YOU USING YOUR SOCIAL MEDIA?

 

Are you consistent?

WIIFM? How can you help me?

Tell me I’m special, please!

 

Don’t we all over your message!

 

Everyone buys something for a reason

Usually these reasons are hidden

 

A lot of people buy things for feelings

 

When is the last time you got a thank you card for purchasing something?

 

Go the extra mile

Do something extra, little things…

You just need to be a little better than your competitors.
