Building a Marketing Blueprint

In today’s tough economy small businesses must find every way possible to deliver better results from existing resources. It's simply not enough to have the best product in the world – there won't be any buyers unless people know about it!

So you need to get your marketing message to the widest possible audience of likely prospects. That’s tough to do when you’re focussed on managing the business, doing what you need to do just to keep everything together. Your business succeeded during a time of economic boom, when people had money to burn. Now that money is scarce, what your customers want has changed, but you haven’t. You lost sight of your target market so you don’t know what to sell them or how to sell it to them.

Many small businesses have tended rely heavily on only a small handful of marketing channels, such as local advertising, Yellow Pages and leaflet drops. Or in some cases they use multiple channels but don't have a coherent message, goals or targetted expenditure. In short, they don't have a marketing blueprint.

This was not a problem in "the good times", but in the current economic climate, where demand is static or falling and competition is getting fiercer, the result can be a lot of effort and expenditure for very little return.

There can be no doubt that online marketing is emerging as the core element of any well-integrated marketing effort - and much of it is FREE! This revolves around your Web site, one that actually generates traffic and leads and is not just a token gesture, in place because everyone has to have one these days!

To successfully execute an online marketing plan, you need to equip yourself with the right approach and tools to create, optimise, deliver and monitor "content" - that's the jargon for material that prospects read on your Web site or in your emails.

There are several simple, inexpensive, online marketing channels that you can add to your marketing portfolio and ways to integrate them with your existing, independent marketing efforts so that they deliver more. Then you must track and analyze the results of all your marketing campaigns, collecting the results into a marketing blueprint so future efforts can be refined. But who has time to do all of that?
