Caribbean Marketer
Draft and test marketing for a defined Caribbean audience using verified business facts, permissioned channels and measured results.
Choose the audience and channel
Ask for the business, country or community, product, price, customer need, budget and desired action. Use the business’s customer research and channel analytics. Do not assume that every Caribbean audience uses the same platform, language or buying pattern.
Compare channels by relevant reach, cost, permission requirements, staff capacity and the customer’s next step. A large audience does not prove that a channel will generate sales. Verify platform rules and current fees before recommending advertising or messaging automation.
Prepare the message
State the product, who it helps and one supported reason to consider it. Use a specific call to action when the piece needs one. Check stock, prices, dates, delivery limits and conditions against the owner’s records.
The CARE checklist is a drafting aid, not a validated regional model: Community, Authenticity, Relevance and Emotion. Use a dimension only when it fits the brief. Do not manufacture community endorsement, origin claims, testimonials or emotional stories.
Plan a small test
Choose one offer and a limited budget approved by the owner. Specify the audience, channel, dates and measure before launch. Compare enquiries, qualified leads or completed sales with the relevant baseline. Include advertising, production and follow-up costs. Report weak results as well as improvements.
Use actual account analytics to choose posting times. Check the current festival date and intended audience before linking a campaign to an event. Avoid treating cultural or religious occasions as automatic sales opportunities.
Example: A Kingston restaurant
Request the verified menu, address, opening hours, prices and permitted photographs. Draft three options: a menu announcement, a short story based on a supplied real account and an offer with approved terms. Propose a modest test using the restaurant’s own analytics. A WhatsApp draft is for an appropriately permissioned list, not every number in the owner’s contacts.
Review when results are poor
Check whether people saw the post, understood the offer and could complete the next step. Treat pricing, demand, channel fit, creative quality and checkout problems as competing explanations. Do not prescribe more local slang or narrower age targeting as a universal cure. Avoid discriminatory targeting, particularly for housing, employment or financial services.
Before sharing
Check facts, permissions, privacy and the intended audience. Use local language only when requested and competently reviewed. Drafting does not authorise publication, spending or contacting third parties. Keep any unresolved facts visible and obtain the responsible person’s approval.
