Small businesses have small amounts of money for advertising and promoting budgets. While big businesses can afford themselves wide area networks of Radio, Television and Newspapers, national scope,  small business have to limit themselves to local networks.

The struggle and competition among big and small businesses with their proportional opponents on the customers attention is strategically the same but the numbers and thus the tactics are different. Big businesses are talking about thousands of customers, losing or attracting them, is matters. For small businesses the struggle is over each customer, individually.

 

All businesses have websites. In many cases you can’t tell the men from the boys when it comes to be represented by a website. Small businesses can afford themselves complicated and well designed sites because every 15 years old youngster can develop a website nowadays some times for free, just for the fun of it. So money is not the issue here.

Although big businesses are thinking in big numbers (of customers) still – Customers services are important to them the same as for small businesses. Everybody knows that a happy customer brings 10 more and a frustrated customer drives out 100. This is why big and small businesses put a lot of attention to Customer services. It is only the outcomes of this efforts which is different. While for the big businesses a few angry customers are counted in fractions of percentages -  for the small businesses its 100% winning or losing each single client.  

 

There is one field of advertising and promoting where small businesses are big! The paper made printed materials: promoting Business Cards, Magnets, Stickers, Flyers and Postcards are circulated around by small business owners. You don’t expect “Sheraton” hotels chain or “TWA” to distribute Magnets from door to door or to stash Flyers in private mail boxes. But it is a natural advertising and promoting habit of plumbers, pizza parlor managers, and taxi drivers. The cost / effective ratio of such means are fit and suit small businesses perfectly, meeting their budget limitations and pay off.

Six Easy Steps to Create a Basic Marketing Plan

“I know we need a marketing plan, but I’m not sure where to start. And, quite frankly, I don’t have time to stop and figure it out.” This comment made recently by a client is typical of the dilemma faced by many small business owners. We know that we need a marketing plan, but the thought of taking time to write one can seem overwhelming.

A marketing plan needn’t be complicated. It’s far better to start with a simple written plan that you can follow, tweak and track, than winging it until you have time to produce a full-scale marketing plan. A simple written plan will provide a guide to work from, clearly define your goals and organize all those bright ideas floating around in your brain. This plan will also serve as a starting point when you choose to write a more extensive plan.Use the Six-Step Process Below to Create Your Basic Marketing PlanStep One: What do you sell?

Clearly define your product, including the features and benefits. Make a list of each product or service you offer, and under each one, list the corresponding benefits to the consumer.

Write out a clear, succinct USP, describing how your product or service differs from those of your competitors.Step Two: To whom do you sell?

Create a detailed customer profile:

If you market directly to consumers, list demographics: age, gender, lifestyle, location, preferences, interests, etc. Where do they go? What do they read? Listen to? Watch?

If you market to businesses, describe your ideal business client, include the size of company, number of employees, gross sales, location, etc.

What do they want? What concerns and challenges do they face, especially those your product addresses?

Make a note here of any seasonal patterns such as peak buying periods or slow times. Perhaps brainstorm bonus offerings you could add during slow seasons to increase and even out your cash flow.Step Three: What are you going to tell them?

Write a marketing message directed specifically to your target customer. Focus on the benefits (not features) you offer. Concentrate on one thing: what’s in it for them!Step Four: Where are you now?

You need this as a benchmark for future tracking.

Make a note of current marketing activities, the costs involved and, if possible, the revenue they generate.Step Five: Where do you want to be and when?

Visualize your business one, two and five years from now. What will it look like? Be specific. Consider what changes will need to take place to achieve the future you want for this business.Step Six: How do you plan to get there?

Define specific, realistic marketing goals. Plan how you will measure the results.

a) Decide which marketing strategies you will use, for example: networking, cold calling, mailings, advertising, website, emails, promotional events. Select two or three you could use to jump-start your marketing.

b) Brainstorm the best tactics for each of the strategies you’ve selected. For example, if you chose networking as a strategy, your tactics might be to attend certain events each week, revise your 30-second commercial and produce marketing materials to hand out.

c) Assign time and dollar resources for each strategy you’ve chosen.Work Your Plan

Follow your plan, regularly review progress, track the results and modify where necessary. When something produces good results, stick with it. If it doesn’t work, stop or adapt it. When I ran a large residential maid service, I discovered that my expensive Yellow Page ad only brought in business during the summer months, when we were already working at maximum capacity, while postcards with discount coupons mailed to targeted new home owners, at a fraction of the cost, brought a steady stream of ideal clients. Tracking results made good marketing decisions easy.

By writing one step a day or one step each week, you’ll soon have a simple written marketing plan to guide you and ensure that you get the best return on your marketing dollar as you grow your company in the right direction.
