This is part one of a three-part series all about staying top of mind in a world where attention spans are shorter than ever. By the end, you’ll know how to position your brand so you’re the first (and maybe even only) business your customers think of when they need what you offer.
Let’s cut straight to the chase: if your business isn’t top of mind, you’re already losing. You can have the best product, flawless customer service, or the coolest branding in the world, but if your customers aren’t thinking about you when they need you, what’s the point?
People's Attention Spans Are Getting Shorter
In today’s fast-paced world, our attention spans are shrinking. In fact, studies show that the average human attention span has decreased by almost 25% from 2000 to 2015, coming in at just 8.25 seconds! With constant distractions from social media, apps, and an endless stream of content, it’s harder than ever to hold your audience’s focus. If your brand isn’t consistently making an impression, you’ll be forgotten. And quickly.
Customers are bombarded with messages from your competitors, ads, and, let’s face it, memes. If you’re not reminding them that you exist, someone else will swoop in and take your spot. Staying top of mind means being the first business that comes to mind when they need something you offer.
You’re Not Just Selling, You’re Building Relationships
When you stay top of mind, you’re not just out there pushing products like an annoying pop-up ad. You’re building relationships, trust, and loyalty with your audience. You're consistently showing up—not only when you want something (like their money)—but when you’re giving value, sharing entertainment, or just reminding them that you're there for them.
Think of it like dating. You wouldn’t want someone who only texts you every six months asking to hang out, right? No, you want someone who checks in, makes you laugh, and stays on your radar. It’s the same with your customers.
