Why Do You Need A Marketing Strategy?

The same goes for a marketing campaign. In the end, you will benefit more from a solid marketing strategy than you will from just winging it. If you really want to capitalize on your great idea, develop a marketing strategy.

Every business faces different challenges to be more visible and interactive with their target audience. Some are looking for the right marketing talent who can sail their ship in the vast marketing ocean while others find challenges to choose the right ship itself.

The ship is your marketing strategy and needs to be very well thought out. Would like to share my take on the need of finding the right ship for your business.

 

Having a marketing strategy is crucial for several reasons. Firstly, it helps you define your goals and objectives, allowing you to align your marketing efforts with your overall business objectives. A well-defined strategy also helps you identify and understand your target audience, enabling you to tailor your messaging and tactics to reach and engage them effectively. Additionally, a marketing strategy provides a roadmap for your marketing activities, ensuring you allocate resources effectively and make informed decisions. It also helps you measure and evaluate the success of your marketing efforts, allowing you to make adjustments and improvements as needed. Ultimately, a marketing strategy provides direction, focus, and a competitive edge in today's dynamic business landscape.

In my experience, the best marketing strategy always consisted of these ingredients:
1. Find out what is in high demand (niche & product research), which can be done through a host of various free search tools online.
2. Decide how do you want to design and wrap the information or physical product for sale. Would it be a one-page blog, full-blown website, YouTube channel, Instagram & TikTok shorts, forums posting, guest posting with your links?
3. Measure out the competition well and try to find workable balance, relevant to your knowledge, skill and potential (don't compete with sharks but don't swim with plankton either)
4. Give users ONE genuine, robust and easy-to-implement info product (if it is digital info marketing), don't spread yourself thin. People like simplicity and doability. If it is your own eBook, make it super-cool and unique. If it is promoting someone's offer, make sure your headlines and sales copy is top-notch.
5. Make full use of social media tools to promote your product.
6. If you are tight on time, hire a qualified freelancer to work on your product's marketing and ranking (SEO and marketing can be time consuming).
7. Once you published one product, rinse and repeat, move to the next well-researched product, gradually building your online real estate.

 

Selecting marketing strategies allows companies to be more competitive in the context in which they find themselves. It seeks to provide guidance on the different aspects to take into account to make decisions in the marketing area based on the products or services that a company offers to its consumers and achieve the expected results efficiently.

 

Marketing is the key after all. Good marketing will lead you to success and bad marketing will be the opposite.

You need a marketing strategy today more than ever because there's more and more people and busineses on the web. You need to stand out from competitors and reach your ideal audience which requires logical thinking.

 

I think the best strategy is to try a few more platforms, such as TikTok, Youtube, Facebook and so on

 

Hey! So I'm writing my MSc Dissertation on The Impact of AI on Marketing Roles and Skill Sets. And, where better to get some data from than a huge community of Marketers interested in Research!

So, it'd be super amazing if I could get Marketers all across the world to help me understand how AI is changing our roles, skills and everything else in-between!

A marketing strategy is essential because it gives your business direction and helps you navigate challenges effectively. It ensures your efforts are targeted, making it easier to connect with the right audience, maximize ROI, and stand out in a crowded market. Without a solid strategy, you risk wasting time and resources on scattered efforts that don’t yield results. Think of it as your roadmap—it aligns your goals, tools, and tactics, ensuring you stay on course toward success

 

You need a plan (it can be simple but you still need one) you can tweak over time.

Anyone doing it their way without any roadmap has a long few years ahead of them unless they hit the ground running early doors (most don't - they fail for months/years or they become jaded and quit, believing nearly everything is a scam).
