Why Your Marketing Content Isn’t Performing — And How to Fix It
As business owners we can assume that if our content isn’t performing, it must be the writing.
The truth? Your content isn’t likely the problem. It’s the lack of connection between your content pieces.
If every post, brochure, slide deck, and email looks different, your audience spends the first few seconds trying to figure out what they’re looking at instead of paying attention to your message.
“Design isn’t about “making it pretty.” 💡It’s about helping people process your content quickly and consistently.”
When your visuals follow the same logic:
Everything feels more intentional
People recognize your brand faster
Your team produces more with less effort
Engagement goes up
You don’t need a massive rebrand to get these results.
You just need a cleaner, more repeatable system.
Quick Pointers to Improve Content Performance Today
Here are a few practical steps any business can take even before working with a creative partner:
1. Choose 1–2 typefaces and stick to them
Using a different font in every asset creates instant visual noise. Stick to one primary and one secondary font, and use them consistently. Your primary font should handle titles and headlines, while your secondary font is ideal for body copy.
2. Limit your color palette to 3–5 core colors
Too many colors create inconsistency.
A small, intentional palette = instant brand recognition.
3. Create a simple hierarchy system
Make it easy for people to scan your content.
Example:
Headline — bold, largest
Subhead — medium
Body — light, small
CTA — standout color
4. Use recurring layouts or templates
This doesn’t make your content “boring”, it makes it recognizable.
People should know it’s you without seeing your logo.
5. Stop designing from scratch every time
Reinvention slows your team down.
Repetition speeds them up.
These small shifts create big improvements in clarity, speed, and performance — even without a formal brand overhaul.
