Did you recently start your wellness or esoteric practice and lack experience with business or marketing strategies? In that case, you’re probably looking for information to guide you through the challenging process of establishing a company, especially in the digital world.
I understand how difficult it can be. I myself started my business not long ago. But one thing I’ve learned: when your business is of quality and aligned with your purpose, everything flows naturally. The rest is strategy to expand and establish yourself in the market.
And that’s where I can help. In this post, I’ll share the necessary strategies for you to unlock the growth potential of your wellness, holistic health or esoteric practice and have more peace of mind to continue doing what you love.
Business Strategy
It seems simple, but the reason many entrepreneurs in the wellness, holistic, esoteric, and spiritual industries struggle to reach their potential is due to a lack of a business strategy. This makes me very sad because there are many talented people offering quality treatments and solutions, yet they can’t reach a larger part of their audience due to a lack of strategic support.
Defining your business strategy involves outlining your target audience, purpose, mission, vision, values, and the unique value proposition (UVP) that makes your business authentic. This way, you can find the best tools, platforms, and methods to promote your practice and attract the right clients.
The business strategy answers questions like:
- What is the primary purpose of your business?
- What problem or need do you solve?
- What specific and measurable objectives do you want to achieve?
- What makes your product or service unique?
- How do you want your brand to be perceived by the public?
It’s very likely that you have already considered some or all of these questions. The strategy will enable you to turn these thoughts into action and results. It’s also important to know how to communicate this strategy effectively.
Brand Identity
Brand identity is the visual and verbal representation of a brand, including all the elements that help create a unique perception of your business. This includes:
- Brand name
- Logo
- Colors
- Typography
- Tone of voice
Investing in building a solid brand identity is a crucial step in establishing an authentic, successful, and sustainable business, especially in the fields of wellness, holistic therapy, spirituality, mysticism, and other esoteric practices.
You need to create a strong connection with your audience, and brand identity is key to achieving that. Additionally, it helps to:
- Differentiate and highlight your business
- Convey credibility and trust
- Keep communications and materials consistent
- Create an engaging story and narrative
Everything I’m saying is backed by research proving the effectiveness of brand identity for business success.
Website
Having a website is like having your own address in the digital world, which is essential for your business’s credibility and professionalism. Moreover, if you offer consultations, a website is vital for facilitating appointments.
Even if you think having a website is unnecessary in today’s social media-dominated world, don’t be fooled. Social media platforms can fail, be discontinued, or algorithms can change. When you have a website, especially with your own domain, you have a channel that is yours to customize as you wish. Additionally, websites offer other advantages:
- Message control
- Increased visibility
- Information centralization
- Ease of contact
- Sales and appointments
- Performance analysis
Many people use Google to search for holistic therapy services. An SEO-optimized website will be easily found by potential clients.
Social Media
I mentioned that social media doesn’t replace a website, but the same is true in reverse: having a website is not enough to grow in the digital world today. People are also searching for wellness, holistic, and esoteric services through social media platforms.
Social media is also where you can create a closer connection with your audience, forming a true community for support, information, and maybe even entertainment.
The important thing is to maintain consistency, follow your business strategy, reinforce your brand identity through content aesthetics, and engage your audience frequently. This can be done through:
- Posts with tips or updates
- Videos
- Lives
- Stories
- Responding to comments and direct messages
- Collaborating with other professionals in the field or content creators
There are many possibilities to unlock the growth potential of your practice using social media.
Email Marketing
Email marketing is a strategy that involves sending messages to your target audience via email. You can use this practice to communicate with current and potential clients, promote products or services, increase brand awareness, and nurture relationships over time.
Some advantages of email marketing for growing your holistic practice include:
- More personal and direct communication
- Sending relevant and personalized messages to different segments
- Increasing brand recognition
- Building trust with potential clients
- Delivering messages to your entire audience (unlike social media, where you rely on algorithms)
- Content flexibility: text, images, videos, and links
- Strengthening client relationships and loyalty
Interesting, isn’t it? I personally believe that every business should use this strategy, as it is one of the oldest and most effective in digital marketing.
Paid Advertising
Finally, we arrive at a definitive strategy for boosting the growth of your holistic or esoteric therapy practice. It can be a bit controversial, but it’s undeniable that, if done well, it generates extraordinary results.
Whether to increase your brand’s visibility, drive more people to your website, convert new clients, promote an event, gain followers, or reach new audiences, there’s an online advertising tool to help you achieve your goals.
The most commonly used ones are:
- Google Ads
- Meta Ads (Facebook and Instagram)
- TikTok Ads
- LinkedIn Ads
All of these offer a wide range of targeting options, different objectives, tactics, and budgets that range from very affordable to quite extravagant.
This digital marketing strategy is particularly worthwhile for those looking to achieve quicker results, considering that organic strategies do not guarantee immediate returns like paid advertising does.
It’s also important to remember the necessity of having a communication or digital marketing professional to effectively implement these strategies. A professional can assist with preparation, execution, and result analysis, providing insights and advice on what needs to be optimized or whether a shift in direction is required.
Growth is not a straight line, as you probably know. Just like personal learning and growth, moving your business forward requires hard work, dedication, and persistence.
Don’t give up and don’t limit yourself to thinking that these strategies I presented are only for businesses focused on consumerism. On the contrary, we need to use these tools and unite forces to bring soul-driven businesses that elevate the planet’s vibration to more people.
