Marketing a Biblical Counseling Business

At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own a biblical counseling business, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.

Think tired marketing collateral is all you need to succeed in today's marketplace? Think again!

What to know the characteristics that distinguish leading biblical counseling businesses from the competition? Most of the time it's not the quality of their product offerings -- it's their ability to communicate granular marketing messages to their customer base.

Competitive Awareness

Competitive awareness is the starting point for creativity in marketing. There's nothing wrong with creativity, but if it precludes your messaging from being represented alongside other biblical counseling businesses, you may not have all of the information you need to make an informed marketing decision. At a minimum, we recommend seeking a third-party perspective before you adopt any innovations that dramatically alter your marketing model.

Marketing Ethics

Ethically challenged marketers are a dime a dozen in today's economy. Industry-leading biblical counseling businesses avoid marketing tactics that exploit their customers. Ethics are especially important in direct marketing. By relying on trusted list provider, you can ensure that your lists are accurate and are consistent with standard industry protocols.

Bundling

Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. For centuries, entrepreneurs have understood that bundled products reinforce buyers' value concerns while increasing their business's total revenue position. Most biblical counseling businesses have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.
