Communicating a Service Offering in Cairns

Because services are intangible, marketing messages for services do more than market services. Communications make services more tangible, and offer prospects something firm to make reference to.

As a result, marketing communications for most services drag around a heavier load than communications for products. A bright red Porsche 911 convertible, for example, yells 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 worry that our lawyers and auto mechanics will toil on our behalf more than necessary, and bill more than is warranted. We are concerned that the latest weight loss service will fail, just like the two before it. We worry that our remodelers will pad their budget and complete the job weeks after they promised. We worry that the collection agency we hire for our service will badger our clients worth keeping and collect only a small part of our outstanding receivables.

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