How we helped a financial planning firm reach underserved communities
In a financial landscape that often leaves underserved communities behind, FAP Financial firm was committed to providing accessible and inclusive financial planning services. However, they hadn't fully realized the potential of specifically targeting and serving women, the LGBTQ+ community, and non-profit organizations. Our firm conducted in-depth research to identify this gap in the industry and highlight the opportunity to create a more impactful and fulfilling business model.
Despite the critical importance of their services, the firm struggled with:
Weak online presence: Not having a strong presence on social media or other relevant online platforms limits their reach and ability to connect with potential clients.
Poor branding and messaging: A lack of clear and consistent branding and messaging made it difficult for the firm to differentiate themselves from competitors and articulate their value proposition.
Lack of targeted marketing: They required a more focused marketing approach that resonated with specific underserved communities.
The Solution
We partnered with FAP FInancial to implement a strategy that centered around inclusivity and empowerment, with a particular focus on addressing the identified underserved markets:
Market Research & Identification
Industry analysis: We conducted extensive research to identify underserved demographics within the financial planning industry, highlighting the unique needs and challenges of women, the LGBTQ+ community, and non-profit organizations.
