Planting Marketing Seeds For Business Growth:

Check Your Soil; Know Your Climate.

It may be unglamorous, tedious work, but it’s essential to “check your soil” before planting a marketing plan. Unless you understand the growing conditions, you can never understand what strategies to put in place for the most success. This means you must learn everything about yourself, your business and the marketplace in which your business desires to be competitive. This research is essential to your marketing. You can:

  • Do a SWOT analysis, for starters. Learn everything you can about your business’s strengths and weaknesses, your opportunities and threats, the competition and the marketplace. To achieve the highest rate of success, you must know what you are working with and who you are working against, inside and out.
  • Examine any and all marketing efforts you might have done in the past. What has worked and what has not? Do you know why? Now is the perfect time to learn from your history.

Pick The Flowers That Are Best For You!

greenhouseYou now know your soil and your climate. Now the fun part…picking the marketing flowers you want to grow that are best for you to get the desired results!

When establishing a marketing tool kit, you are choosing the techniques and strategies you want to use for business growth. You’ve done your basic research (Tip 1) so by now, you know your industry and where you stand in the marketplace. You also have handy an understanding of all your previous marketing efforts and how they worked for you. When selecting a strategy for the future, pick one that gives you the highest opportunity for success. At corecubed, we believe a strategy that encompasses regular communication done monthly is one that is most likely to succeed. Monthly marketing relies on regular communication through monthly contact with your targeted audience in order to keep you top of mind. Targeting your marketing touches to the audience will assure your audience will pay attention.

A monthly marketing strategy, much like steady, strong perennials, will grow and remain in your garden year after year. A successful strategy will adapt to the current climate and resiliently survive “cold snaps” in the economy as much as it will thrive in a summer of success.

Mulch and Maintain Your Marketing.

gardenYour marketing garden needs constant attention in order to grow and thrive. You cannot simply plant your marketing seeds and expect them to grow without any effort. If your marketing goes unmaintained, it can become overgrown with weeds and destroy your ROI. A marketing garden needs maintenance!

If you have adapted a strategy of monthly marketing, plan your monthly touches in advance. Make sure each point of contact you make with your target audience is branded and personalized. With corecubed’s MOSTSM monthly marketing program for the home care and home health industries, for example, monthly marketing touches for our clients are prepared with great care several months in advance. We ensure that every touch works to achieve the overall marketing goal. Every flower and plant work into the landscape of our marketing vision. We never select a marketing tool that doesn’t work to ENHANCE the overall strategy.

Constantly review your marketing strategy. Is it cohesive? Do all your plants and flowers work together? Or are weeds taking over and distracting from your success?

And Remember…. Sit Back and Enjoy the Flowers!
