How to Put "You" in Your IT Marketing

Many IT specialists question how they can make themselves stand out, especially in their local marketplace that grows on a daily basis. One of the ideal, and simplest ways IT marketers can differentiate themselves is by getting a very clear idea of their special area of expertise. Since clients in search of you as a specialist are buying all the intricacies of a human being, and not just a “thing,” emphasizing the qualities that make you unique is the key to successful IT marketing.

ARE YOU PRODUCTIVE, OR A PRODUCT?
Commodities can be cheap, and all those looking for them tend to be price shopping. To avoid making yourself look like a mere product, focus on selling your unique expertise, your values and the special ideological trouble shooting skills you offer.

PUT THE "YOU" IN YOUR MARKETING MATERIALS
In the same vein as making your IT marketing campaign, and you, as “personal” as possible, you should never hide behind your own website. As tempting as it might be to try to make your company look larger than it is by shrouding it in anonymity. If you focus on selling the depth and strengths of your own background and of the staff you trust and work with, you will appear professional and polished.

The key to IT marketing is really making yourself and your marketing materials unique. If you establish a mission for you and your company that is based on your own ideals and background and follow it in everything you do and produce, you will undoubtedly stand out in the IT world. If you design your company around your unique mission, your clients will get the message.
