Inclusive messaging isn't about making your market Inclusive messaging isn't about making your marketing "nicer." It's about making it work better. 

I know, I know -  that might sound like a bold claim. But stick with me.

When people feel safe, seen, and respected in your messaging, they don't just click -  they connect. And connection is what turns a casual follower into a values-aligned client who's genuinely excited to work with you.

This is what Just Marketing® looks like in practice. 
And it's not a compromise… it's an upgrade.

Ready to see how this plays out in your actual marketing? 

Check it out: MegBrunson.com/persuasion-tactics 

Which of these five shifts feels most aligned with where you want to take your marketing?

ID: 'We Need Inclusive Messaging Strategies.' Five strategies: 'Center Consent Over Control' (pink), 'Prioritize Empowerment Over Agitation' (purple), 'Accessible and Trauma-Informed' (blue), 'Value Nuance Over Noise' (green), and 'Reflect Values Beyond Personal Gain' (peach). The Just Marketing logo appears at the bottom on a light pink background.

We’ve been taught to believe that “good grammar” = We’ve been taught to believe that “good grammar” = intelligence, credibility, authority.

But those rules were created through white, colonial, neurotypical lenses… and they uphold hierarchy and exclude those who don’t - or can’t - conform.

If someone’s meaning is clear, spelling or grammar doesn’t matter.

If it’s not clear, the kindest thing we can do is ask, not correct.

I’ve done a lot of growing over the past decade - especially in how I show up online.

But I still remember how I used to weaponize grammar mistakes.

It was mean-spirited, even when it was masked as “witty.”

At the time, I didn’t realize what I was doing was ableist.

But now?
I can’t not see it.

Ableism is when we assume that people who communicate differently are “less than.”

It’s when we mock someone who may have learning disabilities or who communicates in a nontraditional way.

It’s when we use “proper grammar” as a gatekeeper for credibility.

It’s also xenophobic and racist to assume that people who speak “imperfect” English are somehow less intelligent.

Let’s be clear:
– English isn’t a measure of intelligence.
– Communication is about connection—not conformity.
– If you don’t understand someone, ask. 

Ethical, inclusive communication means prioritizing understanding - not upholding rules that reinforce oppression.

I’m still unlearning. Still growing.

And if you are too - welcome. There’s room here for all of us to do better.

What helped you begin to deconstruct your relationship with language, grammar, or “professionalism”?

ID: Text: ‘If someone's meaning is clear, don't correct their spelling or grammar. If their meaning isn't clear, ask for clarification. Start to decondition yourself from the colonial grammar rules that were forcibly ingrained upon you. Those systems exist to invisibly reinforce hierarchy. Unlearn the need to police those rules, especially when the rules do nothing to enhance comprehension.’
A lot of what we were taught about marketing is ki A lot of what we were taught about marketing is kind of... manipulative.

And I don't say that to shame anyone who's used these tactics - myself included. We learned what we were taught, and we did our best with it.

But part of doing better is naming it.

So let's talk about what's actually wrong with traditional persuasion tactics -  because it goes deeper than just "feeling gross."

They bypass consent. Instead of creating space for thoughtful decisions, these strategies manufacture urgency and scarcity to push for a fast "yes."

They overwhelm the nervous system. High-stakes, urgent copy can send folks with ADHD, anxiety, or trauma straight into freeze mode.

That "low conversion rate" you're troubleshooting? It might actually be people protecting their peace.

They exclude by design. Most traditional frameworks were built on neurotypical, privilege-based assumptions about how people make decisions. They leave zero room for access needs, different processing styles, or non-linear thinking.

They erode trust. When someone realizes they were emotionally baited into buying, they don't become a loyal client -  they become a regretful one.

These tactics weren't built with your audience in mind. And honestly? They probably weren't built with you in mind either.

The good news is there's another way… and it still converts.

Have you heard that using a scheduling tool to pos Have you heard that using a scheduling tool to post your content will hurt your reach compared to posting natively on the platform?

It sounds logical, like maybe the algorithm can tell you didn't show up in person to hit publish, and it punishes you for it - but here's what's actually going on…

Social media algorithms are sophisticated. They're looking at a lot more than how your post was published. They're evaluating things like engagement velocity (how quickly people interact after you post), content relevance, audience behavior patterns, and - the important part - how active your account is overall on the platform.

Algorithms don't just look at what you post.
They look at how you behave on the platform.

Are you only dropping your own content and disappearing?
Or are you genuinely participating - commenting, reacting, engaging with others?

Accounts that only broadcast their own stuff tend to get less distribution. Not because they used a scheduling tool, but because their overall account behavior signals "I'm here to talk, not to listen."

The reach-killer isn't scheduling tools.
The real reach-killer is skipping the first "I" in EIEIO: Interact with other relevant accounts.

Scheduling tools can actually make this easier, because when your content is queued and running on autopilot, you free up time to actually show up and interact on the platform.

So if you've been avoiding a scheduling tool because of this myth, I hope this helps you let that worry go.

The tool isn't the problem... disappearing after you post is.

Traditional persuasion tactics are everywhere… Urg Traditional persuasion tactics are everywhere… Urgency funnels. FOMO-driven copy. Pain-poking hooks that promise relief just as soon as you hand over your credit card.

And yeah, they can work.
But at what cost?

For neurodivergent folks, trauma survivors, and values-driven buyers, high-pressure marketing doesn't just feel uncomfortable… it feels unsafe. 

And if you're a mission-driven entrepreneur who actually cares about consent, equity, and accessibility, you've probably felt that tension too.

Luckily, you don't have to choose between ethics and effectiveness.

On the blog, I'm walking through some of the most common persuasion tactics you've probably been taught -  and reimagining them through a Just Marketing® lens. One that centers trust, transparency, and autonomy over pressure, manipulation, and shame.

Because inclusive messaging isn't the "soft" option. It's the powerful one.

When I first started learning about love bombing i When I first started learning about love bombing in marketing, my stomach dropped a little.

Because I recognized some of it. In things I'd written. In copy I'd been proud of. In language I'd used because I genuinely thought it was kind and encouraging and... good.

It wasn't a great feeling.

But here's what I had to remind myself -  and what I want to offer you if you're sitting in that same discomfort right now:

Awareness isn't an accusation. It's an invitation.

We didn't invent these tactics. We learned them. From courses, coaches, sales trainings that presented emotionally manipulative language as "high-vibe connection." We were doing what we were taught, with the best intentions we had at the time.

And now we know better. 
So we get to do better. 

No shame spiral. 
No throwing out everything you've ever written and starting from scratch at 2am.

Just a gentle pause. 
A willingness to look at your messaging with fresh eyes. And a commitment to showing up for your audience in a way that genuinely honors them -  their autonomy, their nervous systems, their right to make informed decisions without being emotionally maneuvered.

That's what Just Marketing® is all about.

June is here, and it’s bringing sunshine, celebrat June is here, and it’s bringing sunshine, celebration, and a whole lot of love.

Here’s some of what makes June shine:

Pride Month (All June) - Love is love is love. Pride Month is a time to honor the LGBTQIA+ community, celebrate progress, and recommit to the work that’s still needed for equality. It’s about joy, resilience, and making space for everyone to be their authentic selves. (Pro tip: Support LGBTQIA+ creators and businesses this month - and every month!)

Juneteenth (June 19) - Also known as Freedom Day, Juneteenth marks the end of slavery in the United States. It’s a day to honor the resilience and contributions of Black Americans, reflect on history, and commit to creating a more just future.

Father’s Day (June 21) - Let’s hear it for the dads, father figures, and caregivers who’ve had our backs through thick and thin. From teaching life lessons to the perfect dad jokes, Father’s Day is a time to celebrate the people who’ve shaped us with love, guidance, and maybe a little grilling expertise. (Pro tip: Be sensitive - this day can be complicated for some, so focus on inclusivity in your messaging.)

Now, let’s talk marketing…

June offers endless opportunities to create content that matters. It’s a time to amplify voices, build connections, and create impact.

Here are five ways to shift your marketing toward Here are five ways to shift your marketing toward messaging that's genuinely empowering, trust-building, and consent-based:

1. Affirm Without Inflating
There's a big difference between "You're a total rockstar who was BORN for this transformation!" and "If you've been looking for support that aligns with your values, this might be it." One tells people who they are. The other meets them where they actually are.

2. Center Autonomy and Consent
Instead of telling your audience they're ready, invite them to decide for themselves. "You know yourself best. If this feels like a fit, I'd love to support you."

3. Empower Without Pressure
Encouragement that says "your work matters whether you buy from me or not" builds genuine trust. 

4. Honor Neurodiversity + Emotional Safety
Not everyone responds well to high-emotion, high-intensity language - choose calm and clear over hype and overwhelm. 

5. Let the Value Speak for Itself
Share real benefits. Tell honest stories. Trust that the right-fit clients will recognize themselves in your words -  not because you told them they were "destined" for it, but because they genuinely felt seen and respected.

These suggestions are not just "nicer" marketing. They're smarter marketing. They build the kind of relationships that lead to referrals, retention, and a reputation you're actually proud of.

And isn't that the whole point?

Love bombing in marketing isn't just "a little cri Love bombing in marketing isn't just "a little cringe" - it's actually harmful.

A lot of this language gets passed down through traditional sales training as "high-vibe" or "empowering." But when we look closer? The impact tells a different story.

1. Flooding someone with praise to trigger a buying decision isn't connection, it's coercion. Even when the words sound kind, if the goal is to override someone's boundaries and get them to say yes before they're ready? That's manipulation. Full stop.

2. For people who've experienced emotionally manipulative or abusive relationships, love bombing in marketing doesn't just feel uncomfortable, it can be genuinely triggering. It mirrors the same dynamics they've already had to survive.

3. When someone realizes all that validation was just a setup for a pitch, the trust evaporates. And trust is the entire foundation of sustainable, values-aligned client relationships.

Short-term conversions built on manipulation don't grow businesses. They burn bridges.

This isn't about shame - it's about awareness and the willingness to do better.

Your audience doesn't need to be love-bombed into trusting you. 

When your marketing is honest, clear, and genuinely respectful, the right-fit people will find you… and they'll stay.

Read the blog - MegBrunson.com/love-bombing - It covers all of this plus what to do instead of love bombing in your copy.

Which of these three impacts surprised you most?

Love bombing is designed to trigger an emotional r Love bombing is designed to trigger an emotional response. 

It floods your nervous system with validation, and then attaches those feelings to a buying decision. So by the time you're reaching for your wallet, it doesn't feel like pressure… it feels like clarity.
But it's not clarity. 

It's a manufactured moment of emotional intensity.

And for folks who've navigated burnout, rejection sensitivity, or trauma… emotionally manipulative marketing doesn't just feel bad - it can cause real harm by mirroring dynamics they've already had to fight their way out of.

Just Marketing® exists because I believe marketing can be better. 

More actually-kind… not performatively kind.

You deserve marketing that respects your autonomy enough to let you decide if something is a fit -  without being emotionally maneuvered into it.
