Identify your marketing priorities

Marketing Strategy

Customer Insight

Marketing Communications

An initial audit of your current business, starting with your objectives and looking at what's working and what's not.

​

An analysis of your market and its potential, your competitors, and your current/potential customers to identify new opportunities.

Most importantly, an agreement on how to exploit these opportunities profitably.

​

​

A clear understanding of your customers is a great place to start. 

​

What do they buy and how much do they spend? Where and how do they go about it? When and how often? Why do they buy from you rather than a competitor?

Combine this with information on demographics, attitudes and emotional drivers to describe who your ideal customers are and how you might find more like them.

​

​

Establish the best ways to target, reach and engage with your potential customers.

​

Think about the customer's path to purchase and how you can influence things.

​

Consider the optimal balance of owned, earned and paid-for media channels.

Develop key messaging - not just what to say but when and how to interact for best effect.

Then make it happen. Evaluating and optimising as you go.
