Small business marketers love the chase. They love to think of a marketing promotion as a singular event. But it's precisely this approach of marketing that holds a number of small businesses back. They fall victim to the marketing idea of the day and seldom fully know what it takes to create and build a completely functioning, consistently performing, marketing method In this article I am going to outline the basic steps that any business can follow on the way to developing their very own marketing system. Small business proprietors have no problem thinking systems when it comes to, Accounts or Human Resources. However, when it comes to marketing though, it's a different concept . It's as if they are waiting for lady luck to knock on their door with the next great marketing innovation . Narrow and define a targeted market - The next thing you know the target niche is roughly anyone they think will pay them. You must abide to a narrowly defined target niche and you must pinpoint all of your resources upon serving that market like no one ever thought of. Find and communicate a sole message for that market - Until you can show how your company is different and offers something new , you will always compete on price. You must find a way to tell your newly defined narrow target market why you have something to offer that they value. Develop multiple forms of permission based lead generation - Your lead generation system must be built on a number of fronts, such as public relations, referral marketing, strategic partnerships , and targeted marketing. Every method needs a winner. Either find a person in your organization who does no more but manage the system or hire a marketing expert and charge them with helping you develop, implement and run the system.
