Business Marketing Made Easy – 6 Tips For Your First Attempt At
Business Marketing
By Mario R. Churchill
You’ve built a company based on the products or services that
you sincerely believe have earning capabilities. Before you can
start counting dollars, however, you need to make the market sit
up and pay notice to what you’re selling first, and that, dear
Watson, is not exactly an elementary thing to do.
6 Tips for Your First Attempt at Business Marketing
DON’T DELEGATE – Trust no one but yourself and your partners to
build the marketing foundation of your company. Yes, you may
have more than qualified employees working for you, but they
still can’t know and love your business as much as you do. You
can ask for advice from experts, of course, and you can hire
them to create a business marketing plan, but make sure that you
work with them and not just simply wait for the outcome.
THERE’S NO ROOM FOR TIMIDITY AND SHYNESS IN BUSINESS MARKETING
– If you’re an introvert, this is one of the few times that you
have no choice but to overcome your inhibitions and come out of
your shell. If you really want to market your business
effectively, you need to personally speak up for it. You need to
sound convincing and not shy as you expound on the many
wonderful features and benefits of what you’re offering. You
need to be assertive and not hesitant as you encourage people to
avail of what you’re offering.
MAKE YOUR TARGET MARKET YOUR FAMILY – In normal circumstances,
a family member is sure to be privy to ALL his family’s secrets
– good and bad. Business-wise, however, you need to think of
your target market as your family as well. You need to know
everything about what they like and dislike. You need to know
them so well that you can almost perfectly second guess how
they’d react in a given situation. By making your target market
your family, you’ll gradually learn which buttons to push to
make your customers continue patronizing your company’s products
or services.
USE ETHICAL MEANS IN BUSINESS MARKETING – Above all things,
avoid using illegal or deceptive methods when marketing for your
business. Don’t be tempted with the get-rich-quick-schemes
because these won’t work for you in the long run and can easily
cause your company to dissolve or go bankrupt. If you want your
company to be successful, you need to love and respect your
customers.
FOCUS ON BENEFITS AND NOT FEATURES – This is a rule of the
thumb when business marketing. If you’re creating an ad campaign
or formulating a marketing strategy now, make sure that you
remember to focus on the benefits and not the features of your
product or service. Customers will always remember how their
life – directly or indirectly – will be made easier by what
you’re offering than how your product or service works or what
hi-tech options it offers.
MONEY IS NOT ALL THAT MATTERS – Many business owners make the
mistake of thinking that a big and flashy marketing campaign is
the best way to catch its market’s attention. And yes, of
course, an expensive and ostentatious ad may capture your
market’s notice – but the real question is will it be able to
retain it long enough to convince them to buy what you’re
offering?
Always remember that cost, although certainly important, is not
the ultimate deciding factor when devising your marketing
strategy.
Lastly, don’t forget to evaluate the results of your marketing
strategy because there’s always something to learn from past
success and failures.
