Marketing to different or
multiple locations and
cultures
13. • I assumed most used laptops or desktops for company research and purchasing, but it turned out most of
my interviewees prefer companies that have mobile apps when making purchases, and being a repeat
customer.
• I didn’t know these small business owners, and PR executives would place as much of their decision for
purchasing based solely on reviews, websites, apps, and the user/customer experience -meaning the ease
and convenience of using a service.
• I thought these small companies would prefer a larger corporate marketing service option, but they put
more emphasis on personalization, creativity, customer service, wanting a company that is flexible and
gives them plenty of attention and feedback on strategy.
• I was somewhat surprised by some of the companies biggest problems and others were less surprising. For
example, I know it is common for some companies to work on expanding globally and certain areas usually
have a weaker brand presence than other areas.
• I’ve always seen the value in cultural marketing, but I was pleasantly surprised that few companies
mentioned this aspect in a marketing service/ business mattering to them. It was great to hear because it
matters a lot to me and I wasn’t sure if this mattered to small businesses.
Your Original Assumptions & What You Learned
14. • When choosing a business/service/product several mentioned valuing talking to a credible person
versus a generalized company feeling when doing business transactions and discussing service
details, which I’ve always felt mattered as well, but didn’t expect these PR executives to mention it.
• Competitors and needing to have a lot of high quality valuable content as a solution to help with
brand credibility., loyalty, and awareness was a common point brought up by all the small business
PR Executives/owners when asked about certain concerns, needs, and solutions. Again, this makes
perfect sense, so I assumed it would be a responsive I received, but it surprised me to get similar
answers and for this point using different words to be the response across all my interviews.
• I also assumed all of these small businesses PR Executives/owners had not all used an outside
marketing service before, and was surprised to find out that they all have, and some currently are
still using them, sign on for monthly, quarterly, or yearly contracts and renew/continue their
service if they see positive results and the company is communicating well with them and adjusting
strategy based on their needs.
• Have you used an outside marketing service before for your small business, and if so can you tell
me more about your experience, and if you still use a service currently?
Your Original Assumptions & What You Learned
15. • After having interviews with individuals in my small business CEOs, PR Executives, and
marketing directors customer segment, I discovered all of these individuals from my customer
segment currently or have used outside marketing freelance agencies for assistance with their
marketing needs and goals.
• Therefore, I will be moving forward with this business idea, because I see a need and demand
for freelance marketing services that are flexible with options for one time services or monthly,
quarterly, or yearly subscription service models with the option to continue to renew based on
results and need.
• I know there is still much to refine, research and adjust; however I feel the research thus far
including the interviews mentioned reinforces why this business plan can be successful based
on a need for the services my business provides from customer segments of target market.
Am I Moving Forward with My Business Idea
(or Changing It)?
