In this episode, Laura talks about how changing your messaging is necessary in a down economy.1. Saving Money (Increased Importance)Frugality: In a down economy, people are generally more cautious with their spending. They prioritize cost-saving measures, looking for discounts, deals, or products that offer long-term savings. This category becomes critical as consumers are more focused on stretching their dollars further.Necessity over Luxury: Non-essential purchases are often delayed or foregone entirely in favor of essentials, making products that save money or offer value-for-money propositions more attractive.2. Saving Time (Moderate Importance)Trade-offs: While saving time remains important, in a down economy, people might be more willing to invest time to save money. For example, they might choose to cook at home instead of dining out, even if it takes more time. However, for essential services that save time, like necessary childcare or certain forms of transportation, this category still holds relevance.3. Gaining Peace (Increased Importance)Security and Stability: Economic uncertainty often heightens anxiety and stress, making peace of mind more valuable. Products and services that offer security (like insurance), mental well-being (such as therapy or wellness products), or financial stability (like investment advice or savings plans) may see increased demand.Risk Aversion: In uncertain times, consumers are more risk-averse, and they may seek out products or services that reduce their exposure to risk, adding to their sense of peace and security.4. Attaining Status (Decreased Importance)Shift in Priorities: Status-oriented spending tends to decrease in a down economy, as people become more focused on essentials. Luxury goods, high-end brands, and other status symbols often see a decline in sales because they are perceived as non-essential.Value-Oriented Status: However, some consumers might still seek status in a more subtle or value-oriented way. For instance, they might look for products that offer a good balance of quality and affordability, allowing them to maintain a certain lifestyle without excessive spending.Overall Impact in a Down Economy:Essential vs. Non-Essential: Consumers prioritize essential spending—things that save money and provide peace—over non-essential or status-driven purchases.Conservative Behavior: There's a shift towards conservative financial behavior, where saving and securing one's current assets becomes more critical than acquiring new, high-status items.Your messaging must pivot to create the awareness that this is especially important to hire a coach right now and to NOT wait because your coaching saves them time and money.Mentioned in this episode:https://www.nurselifecoachacademy.com/
