There’s something we’ve been hearing loud and clear lately. And if you’re paying attention to your feedback loop, you’re probably hearing it too. It’s not more emails, more decks, more social. It’s one simple word: education. Advisors are asking for it, they crave smart marketing!
It’s not just about curiosity, though staying informed is certainly important in today’s financial landscape. Advisors need to have a solid understanding of your offerings so they can confidently communicate them to their clients. They’ve got a lot on their plates already, and what really stands out to them is marketing that supports their knowledge and helps them stay one step ahead. So the question is: Are you giving them that extra value?
More Than a Fund Sheet: Offer Smart Marketing
Providing advisors with your fund details is essential—but it’s often not enough on its own. In a crowded market, where many firms are competing for advisors’ attention, what often makes the difference is the extra value you bring to the table.
That value doesn’t have to be complicated or over the top. It simply needs to be useful—something that makes their job easier and supports their ongoing success.
Advisors are looking for resources that go beyond the basics. Smart marketing is all about materials that help them better understand your offerings, confidently communicate with clients, and stay informed as the market evolves. Educational marketing plays a key role here, bridging the gap between product details and practical knowledge they can apply every day.
Education as a Relationship Builder
Here’s the thing about education: it’s not just about handing over information. It’s about building trust. When you equip advisors with tools that deepen their understanding, you’re showing them that you’re invested in their success—not just in closing the next sale. You’re making their job easier, giving them more confidence, and reinforcing why your firm is worth their attention.
And education doesn’t need to be overly complex. A well-crafted flyer series. A quarterly webinar touching on the latest market trends. A short but insightful meeting that breaks down an evolving asset class. These touchpoints might seem small, but they compound. Over time, they position your firm as not just a provider—but a partner.
Advisors remember who helps them do their job better. And when they’re deciding where to allocate their time and client dollars, that memory matters.
Keep the Conversation Going with Smart Marketing
Here’s what often gets overlooked: education isn’t a one-and-done event. It’s not a “check the box” task. The most successful firms understand it’s an ongoing dialogue. Because markets evolve. Regulations shift. New products emerge. Advisors need to stay nimble, and they rely on firms like yours to help them stay informed without spending hours hunting down the latest insights themselves.
If you’re consistently providing those touchpoints, whether through timely content, webinars, or simple practice management tips—you’re staying front and center. You’re giving advisors fewer reasons to look elsewhere.
So, What’s Your Education Strategy?
If reading this is sparking some ideas, that’s great. Maybe you’re thinking about that flyer series you’ve been meaning to pull together, or you’ve been considering a webinar series but aren’t sure where to start. Or maybe you’re realizing there’s a bit of a gap—an area where you could be delivering more value but haven’t had the bandwidth to focus on it.
