Make your marketing communication easy to understand

In regard to how to communicate complex information to consumers and stakeholders, being unique or innovative is not nearly as important as being very easy to understand.

As I have worked with many technology companies, the number one problem I see over and over is they use complex language that is very technical and difficult to understand. Sometimes they do this to show off their technical prowess and sometimes it is written by an engineer who does not know any better. The problem is a confused customer will not buy. Let me repeat that. A CONFUSED CUSTOMER WILL NOT BUY!

The key to successful communications is to make the complex very simple. If your communications cannot be understood by the average 12-year-old, you are writing at too high a level. People want easy to understand information that they can read once and immediately understand. So make your communications as simple as possible. Use analogies people will understand. The easier it is to understand your communications, the more successful your business will be. Simple sells.

To you business success!
