Aligned Marketing: Finding the Right Path for Your Holistic Business

Marketing can feel overwhelming for CAM professionals. You start with enthusiasm, trying different tactics, but soon find yourself jumping from one strategy to another, unsure of what actually works. The pressure to be active on social media, constantly posting and engaging, can feel exhausting and misaligned with your values. Worse still, the idea of being pushy or salesy is enough to make you avoid marketing altogether.

The truth? Marketing doesn’t have to be loud, pushy, or rely on social media. The key is to create a strategy that aligns with your strengths and feels natural to you.

How to Define Your Marketing Style

Instead of following generic marketing advice, focus on building a strategy around your strengths and ideal clients. Ask yourself:

• Who do I enjoy working with the most?
• How do I naturally communicate best - writing, speaking, networking?
• What marketing feels comfortable and authentic for me?

By answering these questions, you can start shaping a marketing approach that feels good and works for you.

Marketing with Confidence – The Power of Authentic Messaging

A common challenge CAM professionals face is explaining what they do in a way that resonates with potential clients, often describing their discipline without personalising it to the people they help. Your marketing message needs to be clear, consistent, and compelling.

Why Authenticity Matters in Marketing

People connect with businesses they trust. If your marketing feels forced or inauthentic, it won’t attract the right clients. When you communicate from a place of confidence and clarity, marketing becomes an extension of the work you love rather than a chore.

Marketing Rhythm has a module dedicated to refining your marketing message. You’ll learn how to craft a message that speaks directly to your audience and ensure it’s reflected across all your marketing materials - from your leaflets and website to your directory listings.

A Clear Path to Sustainable Marketing Success

Marketing doesn’t have to be a constant struggle. With the right foundations in place, you can create a system that attracts clients consistently.

Developing a Marketing System That Suits Your Strengths

Rather than forcing yourself into marketing tactics that don’t feel right, focus on approaches that play to your strengths. Options include:

• Raising your local profile – attending networking events, fairs, and collaborating with other professionals.
• Building strong marketing assets – a well-structured website, professional branding, and an optimised Google Business Profile.
• Creating engaging content – simple blog posts, videos, or stories that educate and connect with your audience.

Creating a Sales Process That Feels Comfortable and Natural

Selling doesn’t have to feel awkward. When you approach it as a natural conversation about how you can help, it becomes easier. The key is to:

• Make it clear what you offer and how it benefits clients.
• Have a simple, structured process for consultations and follow-ups.
• Use storytelling to illustrate how your services have helped others.

Jenny, a newly qualified therapist, was unsure how to market herself. We built her foundations - branding, messaging, and a Google Business Profile, and developed a strategy based on her strength - conversation. She attended local fairs, gave talks, and shared simple insights on Instagram stories. Her business grew steadily, and within 2 years, she was working at capacity helping her favourite clients.
