​
SEGMENTATION & TARGETING
As a small business with limited budget, you need to be smart about who you target for your marketing.
​
An overview of all the audiences in the market, their market share and their potential value to your organisation, will help you focus on those customers who will be most profitable for your business.
​
Choosing one or two key groups of customers (segments) and putting together a 'Persona' or 'Avatar' of them, allows you to clearly communicate to everyone in your business who they need to focus on.
COMPETITOR REVIEW
Are your competitors really who you think they are? It's an interesting conundrum.
Your direct competitors in your mind will often be those who offer the same service.
​
However, from your customers point of view, the competitor may be someone completely different.
​
We will talk to your customers and create a competitor map for you.
POSITIONING DEFINITION
With an understanding of:
your customer
your competition
what you provide
you can now work out what your positioning should be for your target audience.
​
Don't worry, we won't re-invent the wheel if we don't have to. This could be a verification that your current positioning is spot on, or it could be a brand new positioning. Whichever it is, it is about it being right for your potential customers.
OBJECTIVES SETTING
It's really important that the marketing objectives you set for the year are tangible.
​
You need to be able to report back a tangible return for the investment you make in your marketing to allow continued funding in it.
​
We will help you develop those objectives based on where the actual gaps are in your purchase funnel.
COMMUNICATIONS PLANNING
The tactics! How we are going to market your business. Is it email, social media, advertising.
​
This feels a long way down doesn't it! Feels like an awful lot of work before we get to the crux of what you need to deliver.
​
But if you're going to do successful marketing you need to have done the hard work first. This bit then will be easy.
