Let’s talk marketing

It’s funny, marketing is one of the main areas in business that people usually push to the side and don’t have time for, the reason being, it isn’t their forte or they don’t fully understand how to use the platforms properly. Whereas, marketing is one of the most important factors that will drive your business to success. Otherwise, you will essentially be stuck… in this one place…FOREVER! Do I sound dramatic? Maybe, but I’m not wrong. Marketing in your business today is more important than ever. It allows your business to maintain long-lasting and ever-present relationships with your audience. Unfortunately, it’s not a one-time fix, marketing demands an ongoing strategy that will continue to help your business flourish. Growing your customer engagement is the heart of any successful business – this is especially true for SMEs.

Am I being biased? Well let’s take a look at the results taken from a survey with some of the most successful companies in the world say;

It is recommended that companies put 5-10% of their budget towards marketing, within that 25%-30%, should be designated towards content marketing. Marketing is essential for a business’s success, it is the backbone to successfully educating customers and keeping them engaged whilst creating a strong reputation.

Again, I could be biased, but I think it is clear that any high profile business has epic marketing, whether is subtle or in your face they are most definitely using it.

A common mistake for businesses is to invest in marketing once things quiet down. It is actually more beneficial for your business to invest in marketing while things are going well so that you can continue to drive that success and grow your business. Henry Ford once said, “stopping advertising to save money is like stopping a watch to save time”. This means we need to stop looking at marketing as a cost but rather as an investment.
