Are you throwing your marketing budget away by paying through the roof for all the ‘easy’ stuff? Don’t worry, you’re not alone. Here at Synthesis Marketing we spend a lot of time with our clients getting back to basics. And, that’s exactly what Marketing Made Easy is going to teach you to do. This month we’re giving you 3 steps to truly make your marketing easier. That doesn’t mean there’s not going to be a bit of hard work involved, but it does mean you’ll stop wasting those precious dollars!
How can you know if you’ve been successful if you don’t have any objectives? Marketing objectives and strategy are your way forward in business; they give you direction, focus and structure. Getting this part of your planning right is crucial and you need to take time to think carefully about the decisions you are making. You need to have objectives: To know the results of your activities To give you focus for allocating your precious resources, including time and money! Also staff, capital, etc So that, as time moves on, you can determine whether you are heading in the right direction To identify when things are starting to go wrong before it is too late So you can make adjustments elsewhere to compensate for errors
Everybody has different motivators, different drivers, different quality expectations, different needs and different ways of measuring success and satisfaction. The focus of marketing is to deliver what the customer wants in a way that enables you to make a profit. How can you decide what they want when you haven’t defined who they are? The first thing you need to do is to determine the “who”! To find your target markets think of groups and types of customers who you can add value to. Customers who have a core need that you can meet and who can afford your product or service. Focus all your marketing activity at these people. If you have selected real targets and profiled your customers accurately then you will be able to decide which advertising media to use, how to reach them, and what key messages you should use to gain a positive response from them.
Determining what makes your business different is one of the most fundamental marketing decisions you need to make. If you are unable to decide what it is that makes your business different, then you cannot expect your customers to know either! You will be leaving their purchase decision up to whatever takes their fancy at the time and you will be helping your competitors appear more attractive. You must bank on the right differences: Those you can deliver profitably Are not easily replicated by your competitors Are sustainable in the long term Are of value to your customers
