SUCCESSFUL BUSINESS OWNERS REFUSE TO CONFORM
Most business owners have been struggling over the last year and are going to continue to struggle if they buy into the recession.
Most business owners conform to old ways and to what is expected of them. Successful business owners refuse to conform.
Having a great and unique product or service on its own isn’t good enough in this day and age unless other people buy into it. And how do they buy into it? They need to believe in you, your product or service by means of various messages that convey quality and confidence.
While the conformists cut back on marketing they will get over-taken by the non-conformists who are looking at more and varied solutions for getting that quality message across in the most cost effective ways.
Thinking about marketing strategy alone isn’t good enough. From a mindset of focus, determination and action, you must implement your strategies while others freeze in fear, being careful to measure and improve where necessary.
Measurement is the foundation of all successful marketing. You must know where your customers are coming from, how they got to you and why, if at all, they have come back time and again. This enables you to do more of what’s working (so simple, but so true) and change or improve what’s not!
Any part of the system that brings in sales can be improved. That improvement could be an improvement in your website copy, your referral system, advertising copy, direct mail, PR copy, closing skills or links coming to your website. The list is endless. The process of continual optimisation is the foundation of all effective marketing and here at Smashing Publicity we work hard to get it right.
