You may feel like you have a lot of apples in the air, and not sure what to focus on first.
A little planning goes a long way toward getting the most from your marketing budget. It also helps you focus clearly on your target audiences’ wants and needs, and the unique benefits you provide — instead of your product or service features.
Here’s the basic process I apply for any marketing project; it ensures a smooth and time-saving process that’s results-oriented:
• Consider how the marketplace perceives you vs the competition, look at strengths and weaknesses
• Identify your objectives (increase awareness, increase sales, launch new product/service, attract new audience)
• Establish budget
• Define/describe your target audiences and identify the most urgent problem you solve for each audience
• Strengthen your positioning (how you uniquely solve your clients’ problems)
• Craft key messages
• Develop strategies and tactics
• Determine how results will be tracked and measured
• Implement, track and analyze
