Creating a bespoke Marketing Strategy for your business

No two businesses are the same. Even very similar businesses in the same industry, will have different business goals.

  • Some businesses require only a few new customers per month from brand awareness.
  • Other businesses are looking to expand quickly and are therefore focused on direct lead generation.

A bespoke Marketing Strategy is essential whatever size your business. If your requirements are minimal, then the strategy could simply be outlined on one page. However, for more complex business goals, creating an integrated marketing strategy requires more thought.

Marketing Strategy planning is not only effective to capture all those initial ideas. It is also essential for tracking activity and performance.

How can you expect to meet your goals if you don’t create a step-by-step plan to achieve them?

In marketing, some tasks are related to productivity and output; a certain number of social media posts a day, or a number of blogs to be written per month. This takes careful planning to ensure accurate timing of deadlines.

Other tasks will have a performance element. This could include increasing the number of visitors to your website, growing your mailing list or social following, or improving the engagement from a specific campaign.

The Marketing Strategy is key to documenting everything, and creates a solid foundation to work from.
