But First It May Piss You Off!
How You Market vs. How you “business” People typically use digital to promote what they already think they do well As you build a powerful marketing campaign, you may find that your business lacks a powerful place for visitors to land/interact or buy.
Are you truly in a position to create raving fans? No USP? Create One! See a need based on your online traffic/ Adwords stats? Fill it! Have a salesperson who is scaring away leads? Fire them! Does your website suck? Change it!
Once you have a roof over your head and enough to eat, look around and realize there are a lot of people in the world who need support or help. Sharing your good fortune is a powerful way to spend each day. Sharing the good you do is a powerful way to market.
People find it difficult to get involved. Make it easier and you’ll build bonds. Tell the world about what you’re doing. If there’s a tie-in with your product or service, great! If not, that’s great too! Sometimes this can stand in for a missing USP.
Good marketing must be done consistently, continually, and thoroughly. Hire someone, assign it to a staff member, do it yourself, but whatever you do, make sure that… New, compelling content is going on your website, blog, social media, and all the other places you can participate online!
