Like all service-based industries, hypnosis relies a lot on first impressions. The moment you meet someone, they begin to form impressions about you. If a client forms the wrong impressions, it makes them harder to work with (assuming they don't leave). But now, many clients form impressions of you before they ever lay eyes on you.
Many hypnotists ignore marketing. Some don't bother because they get enough referrals to book the solid. Others struggle to figure out what to say. The good news is that, if you have a decent homepage for your website, it puts you ahead of everyone else.
Your website is your digital reputation. It's what potential clients see before they meet you. An effective website, like a powerful reputation, sets them in the right frame of mind to meet you. Everything becomes easier when clients expect great things from you.
Make sure that your homepage includes information like contact details, opening hours and your street address. When clients go looking for this information, it means they're thinking of hiring you, so make it easy for them. But this is information about your business. As important as it is, clients care about something more...
Clients aren't thinking about you when they read your site. They think about themselves. So talk about them!
I see many hypnotists go on about themselves and not the clients. They talk about how they prefer Elman inductions to Erickson's approaches. They spend pages rambling about their background, journey and lifestyle. Include this information if you think it adds personality, but hide it. Your clients don't care - all they want to know is that you can help them.
When a client opens your page, you have a few seconds to grab their attention. The main headline and the first paragraphs are your only opportunity to grab them. Don't waste this by saying 'Welcome to Hypnosis Business #78297'. As polite as that is, the client doesn't want friendliness. They found your page because they carry pain in their heart.
Your headline and first paragraphs should focus on the benefits to the client. Talk about their problems. Talk about what makes the problems unbearable and how they'll feel after they're free from them. Maybe allude to how hypnosis will help them, or maybe save that for further down the page. They are in pain now and don't want to be. They want to know that you understand, so show that you understand.
This is your hook. Once they believe that you appreciate their situation, they'll listen when you mention solutions. Hypnosis will alleviate their suffering. That's what they care about and that's why they're in the market for your skills. Put yourself secondary to their needs. After all, in your client's mind, that's exactly where you are.
There's an art to acknowledging pain without dwelling on it. You know how to do so in a hypnotic context, but if you need help with your marketing, then ask a professional. How many certified hypnotists also know digital marketing? Make the right choice for your business and your clients today:
