Ever feel like you’re posting, emailing, and “doing everything right” online—yet no one bites? When your message tries to speak to everyone , it resonates with no one . The fix isn’t shouting louder—it’s speaking to those who want to listen. That’s where niche messaging —anchored in a clear brand voice , a defined ideal customer profile (ICP) , and living customer personas —turns scattered effort into measurable momentum. Why “Talking to Everyone” Doesn’t Work Vague claims like “best service” or “quality products” force readers to do the mental work you should do for them.
