So many great things come in three. It's this magical number that clicks, and there is a reason for it. It's the perfect number to communicate complex ideas without overwhelming your audience. Let's explore a few powerful sets of threes in marketing and how they can make your marketing memorable.

The Funnel Trio: Brand Awareness, Conversion, Retention

Marketing isn't just about getting new customers—it's about keeping them, too. This trio covers the full journey from first contact to lifelong fans.

  • Brand Awareness: Getting your brand in front of your ideal person. Think social media campaigns, SEO, sponsorships, and digital ads.

  • Conversion: Turning those curious eyes into committed customers. This is where compelling calls to action, landing pages, and offers make the difference.

  • Retention: Keeping customers coming back for more. Loyalty programs, regular communication, and exceptional service make all the difference.

It's not just about getting new people into your world; it's about creating an experience that keeps them invested.

The Connective Three: Research, Strategy, Results

It's truly a classic marketing process and how we shape a well-rounded campaign.

  • Research: The foundation. Dig deep to understand your market, audience, and competition to gain direction for the next step.

  • Strategy: The game plan. Use those insights to craft a plan that aligns with your business goals; build on what works - eliminate what doesn't.

  • Get Results with Execution: The action. Everything comes together, and your carefully crafted plan comes to life.

Without research, your strategy is just guesswork. Without strategy, your execution is a shot in the dark. And without execution… well, you go nowhere.

The 3 E's of Content: Engage, Educate, Entertain

Content marketing? Remember these three E's:

  • Engage: Grab attention. Use compelling headlines, stunning visuals, and interactive content.

  • Educate: Provide something valuable. Share tips, tutorials, insights—anything that helps your audience learn.

  • Entertain: Make it fun! People love to be entertained. Humor, stories, and relatable content keep them coming back for more.

And one more bonus set!

The Power of Threes in Assets: Visuals, Lists, Steps

You've probably noticed how things just feel right in threes. There's a reason for that!

  • Images of Three Things: Whether it's three product shots, three icons, or a trio of happy customers, the three are visually balanced and appealing.

  • Three Bullet Points: Our brains love threes. It's easy to read, easy to remember and feels complete.

  • Three Steps to Remember: Three steps are just enough to convey a complete process without overwhelming your audience.

Why Three Really Works

The power of three is about simplicity and clarity. It creates a sense of rhythm and structure that people find naturally satisfying. It's easy on the brain and just feels right.
