The Power of Optics. How to Attract the Right Customers

The Power of Optics

In business, how you present yourself and your brand matters more than most people realize. The way you look, sound, and feel to your audience determines who you attract. Presentation isn’t just about aesthetics—it’s about strategy. Think of the stark difference in branding between Rolex and McDonald's. Rolex screams luxury, exclusivity, and precision. McDonald’s, on the other hand, is all about accessibility, convenience, and comfort. Both are masters of branding, but their approaches are tailored to attract vastly different customers.

The key takeaway? There’s no “right” way to brand yourself—only the right way for your audience.

Decide What You Want to Be Known For

No matter where you are in your business or personal branding journey, you’re already attracting a certain type of customer. The question is: are they the right customers?

Here’s the formula:

1. Decide what you want to be known for.

2. Align your branding, marketing, and aesthetics with that vision.

3. Stay consistent.

This shift alone can help you naturally attract the customers you want.

I’ll give you an example. Back in 2022, an entrepreneur running a wedding and event planning business asked me for advice on how to grow. The first thing I told her? Take a hard look at your website and social media. If they don’t appeal to your dream client, change them.

After breaking down her ideal audience, she revamped her branding to reflect elegance, exclusivity, and high-end service. The result? She was named one of the top 5 wedding planners in Texas and now only takes weddings with budgets over $100,000.

Your branding is your filter. If you’re unclear, inconsistent, or generic, you’re likely attracting customers who don’t align with your business goals.

Learn from the Best

Ferrari. Rolex. Mercedes. These brands haven’t wavered from their core principles for decades. That’s why they’ve built a loyal customer base that spans generations. Imagine if Rolex endorsed a political figure tomorrow—it would alienate half of their audience instantly. These brands understand their customers don’t come to them for politics or controversy—they come for timeless, aspirational value.

The lesson? Always know your customer. Your brand dictates your audience, and if your brand changes, so will your customer.
