Welcome to Beyond the Session with Aisha Shabazz
Aisha:
00:00:03
it's time for another round of It depends the q and a with context.
Aisha:
00:00:09
Once I'm full, do I need to continue to market my practice?
Aisha:
00:00:14
Yes, you do.
Aisha:
00:00:15
And what you choose to market depends on a few things.
Aisha:
00:00:19
So my first question is, do you have multiple offers in your practice?
Aisha:
00:00:25
What I mean by that is are you offering individual therapy,
Aisha:
00:00:28
couples therapy, family sessions?
Aisha:
00:00:30
Are you working with children?
Aisha:
00:00:33
Are you offering any intensives?
Aisha:
00:00:37
Are you offering case consultation, clinical supervision?
Aisha:
00:00:41
Like how many items do you have on your menu to offer the public
Aisha:
00:00:47
if you only have one service?
Aisha:
00:00:50
I want you to consider that your marketing is going to help you to
Aisha:
00:00:55
continue to offer that one service.
Aisha:
00:00:58
If you stop marketing your practice, you will not have people calling you
Aisha:
00:01:03
the next time that you have an opening.
Aisha:
00:01:07
So it's important for you to consistently market your practice.
Aisha:
00:01:10
Now, does that mean you have to market it at the same fervor and
Aisha:
00:01:13
energy that you were when you were needing to fill your caseload?
Aisha:
00:01:18
No, and you don't need to talk about the same thing either.
Aisha:
00:01:22
, there's this misconception that you only market your practice when
Aisha:
00:01:25
you have something to sell and you can market your practice when
Aisha:
00:01:29
you don't have something to sell.
Aisha:
00:01:30
So one thing to consider is that your marketing is a way for people to
Aisha:
00:01:37
build up their know, like and trust factor internally within themselves.
Aisha:
00:01:42
So if they know you, if they like you, if they trust you,
Aisha:
00:01:45
they will purchase from you.
Aisha:
00:01:48
They will access your services when they feel like they need it.
Aisha:
00:01:52
But if they forget about you, then that reduces your know, like and trust factor
Aisha:
00:01:57
because they don't remember who you are.
Aisha:
00:02:00
So the key to marketing is to stay top of mind, and there's an
Aisha:
00:02:04
opportunity for you to stay top of mind without burning yourself out.
Aisha:
00:02:07
And we talk about that when we address repurposing our content.
Aisha:
00:02:11
And we talk about that when we're looking at having a strategic marketing plan.
Aisha:
00:02:15
So knowing that when you're offering one service and that service is that
Aisha:
00:02:20
capacity, what are you going to do next?
Aisha:
00:02:23
But overall, when you are full, regardless if you have one service or
Aisha:
00:02:28
15 services, You do need to market your practice, and it really just depends
Aisha:
00:02:33
on what you market and how you market.
Aisha:
00:02:36
