Communicating a Service Offering in Cairns

Because services are not touchable, marketing communications for services do more than market services. Communications make services more tangible, and present prospects something firm to evaluate.

As a result, marketing communications for most services haul around a heavier load than communications for products. A bright red Porsche 911 convertible, for example, chants loudly and beautifully for itself. Very few services speak for themselves at all.

We implicitly trust most products. We trust that our new tyres won’t explode, our brown sugar will taste sweet, and our aspirin will reduce our headaches without bad side effects. But we are far less trusting and certain about most services.

We fret that our lawyers and web designers will work more than necessary, and charge more than is warranted. We worry that the latest weight loss service will fail, just like the two before it. We worry that our remodelers will pad their budget and finish weeks after they promise. We worry that the collection agency we engage for our service will badger our clients worth keeping and collect only a small part of our outstanding receivables.

So unlike communicating about products, talking about services must make the service more tangible and real, and must soothe the worried prospect. It’s not like selling Porsche automobiles.
