Planning Your Marketing Just Got Easy

Planning Your Marketing Just Got Easy…

We have all at some point encountered a challenge that in the beginning looked like an uphill climb. So just how did you overcome your doubts, fears, and insecurities to get to the top of that mountain?   Creating a successful marketing campaign is much like planning the perfect wedding:  You MUST plan ahead.

Discussions regarding dates, target audience, and specials should begin no less than three months in advance, which means you will be working on at least three campaigns at all times.

Whew! That sounds exhausting! Or, does it? It could also sound like the other "impossible" uphill climbs that you have already conquered. Let's see what marketing strategies broken down into a series of planned steps would look like!

• Begin enticing customers in your monthly newsletter just as soon as you have set a date and selected a theme. (If you aren't sending a monthly newsletter to your customers, the holidays are a good time to start.)
• Add a calendar or sidebar of upcoming events and update it each month as you remove expired events and add your next special.
• The first announcement of an event should be just a low-key mention; then the next month should build excitement so your subscribers are anxiously awaiting the next issue of your newsletter.
• Next, decide what type of campaign(s) you will run for each holiday.
• Ask for word-of-mouth referrals by offering referral discounts.
• Limit the time in which to respond to offers and discounts in order to bring a sense of urgency for your customers to make an appointment today.
• Add a complimentary product or service to your holiday specials.

Consistency and organization are the keys to modern business.  If you cannot devote the time and research necessary to announce your marketing on your social media pages or send out a monthly newsletter, it may be time to consider outsourcing the responsibility to someone trained and ready for business!
