Now that you have gotten the fundamentals of your business figured out, it's time to let people know what products and services you are selling. Learning more about your customers helps you understand the best ways to reach them. As with most things, marketing your business is going to take a lot of trial and error to find what works best.
The phrase, “If you build it, they will come,” only proves true in the movies. Every company requires marketing. It's why Apple and Nike spend millions of dollars every year on advertising and marketing campaigns to reach their customers. Similarly, you’ll need a marketing plan of your own to spread the word about your business to people who may have not heard about it.
A marketing plan helps you think through what types of marketing you need and how to reach your customers. An effective marketing plan identifies clear goals of your marketing strategy, targets a specific audience, and is adaptable. Here is a list of action items that you should include in your marketing plan.
Marketing plans must be readily adaptable to a changing market. Make sure to revisit and revise your marketing plan as needed to ensure relevancy.
Marketing your business is an ongoing process. One that requires a lot of trial and error to find what works for your business and customers. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new tactics and strategies. Be sure to talk through your marketing strategy with your business mentor.
