Cast a wider net
A business term used to describe the process of expanding the reach of a product, service, or marketing strategy to include a larger or more diverse audience. This can involve targeting new markets, customer segments, or geographic regions, or creating more inclusive marketing messages and materials that resonate with a broader range of people. The aim is to increase visibility, sales, and brand awareness, while also creating opportunities for growth and innovation. However, casting a wider net also requires careful planning, research, and execution to ensure that resources are used effectively and efficiently.
In the context of business coaching, “casting a wider net” could refer to expanding one’s target audience or customer base. For example, a coach may advise a client to explore new marketing channels or consider offering additional products or services that appeal to a broader range of customers, in order to increase their reach and attract a more diverse clientele.
