marketing strategy

Is it just fluff?

Marketing is a critical piece to building brand recognition and driving sales. It doesn’t matter if your company is a billion dollar company or just you working from your home – marketing has become more important than ever in the digital age.

If you’re not doing any marketing, your company is probably headed in the wrong direction. Not long ago, the statistics showed an average of 7 interactions with a brand was required to enact a purchasing decision.

Those statistics show that the required interactions has reached OVER 13 instances.

Marketing is no longer just fluff, it’s a necessity in the age where consumers are no longer uninformed and often more educated on products than a sales representative. Consultative sales and personal relationships will always be the most effective, but they are not scalable in the digital age and an era where there is more competition than ever before.

Copywriting

Sales copy will affect each message distributed. Both art and science play a role in how impactful your sales copy will be on moving a prospect to a purchasing decision.

Marketing Campaigns

Targeted marketing campaigns in standard distribution still works. It depends on the overall objectives in your larger strategy.

Brand Strategy

The feel of your brand or what people think about when they see your logo or interact with your team. Depending on your ideal customers, you will want them to remember a line or feel a specific emotion.

Advertising

Every ad put out into the world will promote your brand or move a prospective customer closer to buying. From billboards to print ads, all are important to a comprehensive strategy.

Public Relations

Content and relationships tied to traditional print `are still valuable. There is still validation and an increase in credibility when an article about you or your company is published in print.

Digital Marketing

Beyond traditional tactics, digital is an important piece of a comprehensive strategy, especially if traditional and digital are aligned and work in unison. A clearly defined strategy will scale quickly.

Our Process

STEP 4: Optimize

The data is analyzed using our custom data tools. Your Marketing Playbook is filled with custom plays that need to be optimized. Improving the playbook takes practice and communication of facts and results. Each play will improve in results each time it is run. This is especially true of digital marketing, where we can drive into details that are not available in traditional marketing.

From here we improve the existing play and may implement significant improvements in the play or shift to a completely different tactic.
