How to Attract More Customers to Your Business in 2026
Many business owners ask me every day: “How do I reach new customers?” Whether you run a small local business, a service company, or an online store, finding new clients can feel overwhelming. The good news is that with the right approach, reaching the right people has never been easier.
Social Media is Where It’s At
Social media is almost free to access, easy to use, and designed for DIY. The problem many businesses face is inconsistency. Running a business and balancing life means posts are often sporadic, and because you post in different mindsets, your audience receives mixed messages. Sometimes posts can appear showy or irrelevant, appealing to one segment while potentially alienating another.
The solution is a standard operating procedure — a foundation for every post. Over the last 20 years, we’ve developed a system that maximises social media platforms without paid advertising, attracting the customers you want.
Cornerstone Content: Your Key Tool
The first step in our seven-step process is to create cornerstone content: a short description that clearly outlines your business, location, services, expertise, tone, and ideal customers. This content becomes the reference point for all posts, hashtags, mentions, and tags. When used consistently, your message is clear, professional, and cohesive across all platforms.
Consistency Without Dilution
By referring back to your cornerstone content every time you post, you maintain consistency while showcasing your business. If you want to attract a new audience, highlight new products, or target a different area, you can tweak your cornerstone content and integrate it into posts, keeping your message fresh yet cohesive.
Keep it Simple
You don’t need flashy videos or over-the-top content to succeed. The key is showcasing what you do, clearly and consistently. Done right, this approach builds trust, keeps your brand front-of-mind, and makes it easy for potential customers to understand the value you offer — and reach out on their terms.
