Education maxxing is the #1 method for marketing

Hey guys!

Had a call the other day with a brand owner.

She asked me something that made me pause:

"Brenden, am I giving people too much info? Are we giving customers more than what they really want to know?"

Here's the thing – she was sending educational content. Real valuable stuff about her products and industry.

But she was worried it was overwhelming people.

Here's what I told her:

The brands I've worked with that have customers on their 16th order? They ALL started with education.

Why education beats discounts every time:

  1. Trust builds faster – People need to understand what they're buying

  2. Creates real loyalty – Educated customers don't chase the next shiny product

  3. Higher lifetime value – She mentioned customers buying for years

  4. Word-of-mouth spreads – People share knowledge, not just discounts

The agencies tried pulling her away from education. They wanted "low-hanging fruit" and impulse buyers.

This is a no-go.

But here's the kicker...

Her most loyal customers? They swear by her products because they understand exactly what makes them different.

The lesson: Don't dumb down your content. Smart customers want to know why your product works, not just that it's 20% off.

One micro-tip: Focus on ONE educational topic per email. Don't overwhelm with multiple links and CTAs. Pick one thing and nail it.

Want your educational content to drive sales (not just engagement)?
