The reports are in! According to a recent study by Ficomm Partners, advisory firms are NOT marketing to consumers the way they prefer. While 45% of investors surveyed report selecting their advisors through digital channels, only 29% of firms focus on digital marketing in their strategy.
Key takeaways
-
- Consumers, particularly younger demographics and high-income earners, are increasingly choosing advisors through digital channels, rather than relying solely on referrals.
- Beyond demographics, understand your ideal client profile on a personal level. Know their values, online habits, and content preferences to tailor your marketing for maximum impact.
- Elevate your online presence with valuable, educational content to leverage digital marketing channels.
