Don’t you just hate junk mail that
screams at you about supposed secrets to success that can
be yours for a mere $9.95, $19.95, $99.95 or whatever?
Well, here are some real “secrets” for you – and
there’s no price tag attached.
Ever wonder how other companies keep their sales momentum
going? Smart marketing and communications programs are
critical. Here are three key marketing strategies you can
put to work for your business.
1) VISIBILITY Awareness is where the selling
process starts. After all, it’s hard for someone to buy
from you if they don’t know you exist. Or let’s say
you’re Apple Computer. Your name may be well known, but
you need to let people know about your newest product –
the iPod.
Advertising creates visibility on a broad scale, but it
may not be right for your company. To find a tactic that
fits, start with these questions. Who’s your audience?
How can you get your company in front of them? What can
your company spend? What return are you looking for?
2) CONSISTENCY Brand and brand management are major
buzzwords in marketing and communications. But what do
they really mean? If you’re a company like Target or
Goodyear, it can mean complex product naming schemes and
identity standards
For many other businesses it boils down to consistency.
Determine your message, look and tone and then stick with
it. It’s a way to increase cost efficiency, plus it’s
easier to make an impression if you look and sound the
same over time.
3) REPETITION Forget everything you’ve heard
about the evils of redundancy. The truth is that human
beings learn through repetition. In this highly-saturated
environment it can take seven or more repetitions for a
message to sink in.
