Whatever your business is selling and no matter how your company may be performing at any given point in time – one thing should never change – how well you’re marketing your business. Here are 3 tips for any small business to improve their current marketing efforts:
-
Follow a well-devised Plan
How effectively you are marketing your business all starts with having a solid plan in place. A marketing plan that outlines your marketing goals or objectives, your current situation and environment and the recommended steps you should take to achieve those goals are all equally important for you to establish or re-evaluate. This will ensure that your current marketing efforts are actually focussed on achieving specific outcomes that benefit your short or long term success and are not just ad-hoc tactics that you have decided to complete or that may have been sold to you by outside advertising or media representatives.
-
Competitive Marketing Strategies
Small businesses need to start thinking bigger when it comes to marketing. To be a top competitor within your industry, your marketing needs to remain competitive and strategic. Creating well thought out tactics that capture the needs and attention of today’s digitally driven consumer and helping them on their purchase path will lead to success. Marketing has changed dramatically over the past decade, as consumers have become more reliant on online resources and information for their purchase decision. Those small businesses that are lagging behind when it comes to having a persuasive, professionally designed website, a strong online presence or an engaging social media strategy are undoubtedly losing sales to competitors who are keeping up with current consumer behaviour. Your offline communications aren’t any less important. Brochures, business cards, signage and print collateral that don’t reflect your brand or communicate the right information aren’t doing your business any favours.
-
Effective Strategy Implementation
Small business marketing must incorporate a starting point – the course of action that’s best for your business – via your marketing plan. Once your plan is completed including well-rounded marketing tactics to commence implementing, it’s time to successfully complete the strategies. Do you have the expertise to complete what’s required or do you need outside help? Unfortunately, merely having a website or a corporate brochure is not good enough anymore when your competitors are all doing the same. Your website, online marketing communications and print collateral need to stand out, consistently reflect your brand and provide answers to possible questions your potential customer may be asking. How do your marketing efforts rate against your competitors? Is your marketing collateral hitting the mark in order to convert leads into sales?
