So, recently I used a brand called Astrotalk. Its an Indian brand related to Astrology. I came across Astrotalk through marketing done by them on various social media platforms I use like Instagram, Youtube, Facebook etc. In all the marketing content, they have been sharing problems faced by different people in their life like related to their health, money, marriage and so on. After sharing the problems, they shared the solutions they can offer to the problems. As name suggest, they provides different Astrologers who are there to hear the problems of the people, then they gives accurate reasons for it which inbuilts connection and trust in people and, later they provide solutions of the problems. The App is designed in a way people gets attracted to it. It has differents Astrologers, It provides daily horoscope and many more services.

Miss Joy is one of the many young women around the world battling with acne and hyperpigmentations. She had used so many skincare products to even out her skin and fade her acne spots all to no avail. Her confidence had taken a huge blow and she was dealing with a lot. She came across the Anua niacinamide serum on Instagram, made her research about it and half-heartedly decided to give it a chance. To her joy, there were noticeable changes on her skin. This made her an anua convert and she's been on an amazing skincare journey since then, gradually and steadily achieving her skin goals.

My favorite brand at the moment is the Anua skincare brand.

Their audience is basically people, men and women who are invested in taking care of their skin and want a consistent healthy glow for their skin.

Anua brand with their amazing skincare products mainly helps people care for their skin. They help people overcome the bad skin hassle through the consistent and proper use of their skincare products borderline helping people gain back their confidence.

So the brand is a foreign language school

The characters are the parents who pay for their children to learn a language. They need to feel that their kids needs are catered for and that their kids are helped and educated. So the story should appeal to their emotion and talk about why a parent should trust this school to teach their kids. And the resolution will be that after some years their child will have a language ceritificate recognizes worldwide. But let's not underestimate the effort  a student needs to put in.  But no pain, no gain!

Apple

People who love the products but can't afford it

The company should try helping people with either discounts or even giveaways that will help promote the company's audience and give more visibility to the company's brand that will help encourage those that can't afford as well 📌

The LifeDAO (TLD) is a community-owned alternative to life insurance. Designed for those seeking transparency, fairness, and mutual support, TLD offers life protection outside traditional insurance. The inspiration for TLD came from a personal tragedy: when Sharene, co-founder of Takadao, lost a close friend, she experienced the power of community support firsthand. This experience fueled her vision to create a community-owned life protection model, ensuring everyone has access to security and shared responsibility.

PS: TLD is on testnet!
