They're Just Not That Into You:
Because "it's not you it's your marketing" is a real thing
May 12, 2025
Ever feel like your audience just… isn’t feeling it?
They ghost after one click.
They flirt but never commit.
They like your posts but never buy.
They flirt but never commit.
They like your posts but never buy.
It’s frustrating — especially when you know you have something great to offer.
But here’s the truth a lot of business leaders miss:
Marketing is relationship-building. And just like in dating, people pick up on your energy before they ever hear your pitch.
So if your leads aren’t sticking around… If engagement feels one-sided, conversions are fizzling out, and nobody’s introducing you to their friends?
💔 It might be because your brand just isn’t acting like someone worth dating.
Let’s look at what might be turning them off — and how to build the kind of relationship customers actually want to be in.
🚩 When You're Giving Off Red Flag Energy
You’re charming in ads, but your website is a mess.
Your emails sound stiff, but your Instagram is flirty.
You say you’re “all about the customer,” but they never hear from you again.
Mixed signals erode trust.
Consistency builds it. And consistency? It doesn’t happen by accident — it happens when marketing leadership is backed by strategy and budget.
💸 When You Want a Relationship But Refuse to Invest in One
You want long-term loyalty and customer love… But you won’t budget for brand strategy, content, or leadership.
You can’t build connection on a free trial budget.
If it matters, it deserves investment — just like a real relationship.
💌 When They Don’t Feel Seen (Because They’re Not)
Your messaging is vague.
Your brand voice is inconsistent.
Your content feels like it was written for everyone — and connects with no one.
If your dream customers don’t feel understood, they won’t feel interested.
Clarity and empathy go a long way.
🧠 When It’s Not You, It’s Your Funnel
The vibe is right — but then you push too hard. Or you disappear. Or you send them through a clunky, generic process that kills the spark.
A great funnel doesn’t just convert — it builds trust.
Right pace. Right message. Right time.
🧃 When You're Only Nice Until You Want Something
Your brand only shows up when there’s a sale to push. No value. No nurturing. No actual connection.
That’s not marketing. That’s manipulation. Real loyalty is built in the quiet moments — not just the “Buy Now” ones.
💬 When You Ghost After a Great First Date
You ran a killer ad. Got the click. Maybe even got the form fill. Then… nothing. No follow-up. No nurture sequence. Just silence.
That doesn’t build relationships. It burns them. And worse? It tells the customer: “I was only interested in the sale.”
🖤 THE REAL TAKEAWAY:
Your audience isn’t ignoring you because they don’t care. They’re ignoring you because the honeymoon is over, the excitement has worn off, and something feels off.
And in both business and dating, "off" is enough of a reason to walk away.
If you're trying to attract and keep the right people?
You need more than a product. You need more than a post. You need to show up like someone worth committing to.
That means:
✔ Clear positioning
✔ Consistent messaging
✔ A strategy rooted in emotional connection
✔ And yes — a willingness to invest
Because if you want your audience to be that into you, you’ve got to give them a reason.
