Marketing Strategy

 

It’s that time of year when you need to make a plan to plan your 2019 marketing initiatives. Wait a second. We can hear your groans. If you are a diligent marketing pro or business owner who has created marketing plans every year, but struggle to achieve your marketing goals, here are some tricks from several experts for setting marketing goals that you will actually achieve.

We know how quickly digital marketing changes, so it can be very tempting to fly by the seat of your pants and go with the flow. However, if you are not intentional with your business goals or fail to commit to strategically achieve those goals, we predict you won’t like the flow of revenue that passes you right into the bank accounts of your competitors.

Why do You Need a Marketing Plan?

Do you really, truly need a plan? Yes you do! A plan is a roadmap to drive success no matter what your endeavor and is particularly important when you have multiple employees driving toward the same business objective. If there’s not a method to communicate where you are going and how you’re going to get there, chances of your success are pretty slim.

Here are the items that you need to plan for as you begin planning your 2019 initiatives.

  1. Specific goals you wish to (will) achieve
    Your goals should be specific and measurable so that you know it when you achieve them.
  1. Your market positioning
    What you do, why you do it and why your customers should care.
  1. Competitive landscape and your key differentiators
    Understand who your competitors are and how you can set yourself apart. Critical to this is cultural adoption and internalization from your team. If you market your services one way and then your team doesn’t follow through when working with your customers, it’s a deal breaker (or at least challenges the integrity of your message).
  1. Content marketing strategy and the channels you will use to get your message to your target audience
    This includes video, white papers, blogs, social media and more!

Execute and Evolve Marketing Strategies

It’s also not enough to build a plan. A marketing plan sitting on a server untouched won’t get you to your goals. You must effectively execute your marketing strategy and evolve it throughout the year as the digital marketing landscape changes. At minimum, you should critically evaluate and make adjustments quarterly, but at Webolutions, we prefer to evaluate monthly.
