Making Every Impression Count Well-targeted, strategic marketing engages your audience. It makes a connection with them. When all elements of marketing flow out of a focused marketing and branding strategy, everything works together to reinforce and strengthen your brand image. Sherlock Holmes said, "It is of the highest importance in the art of detection to be able to recognise out of a number of facts which are incidental and which are vital." The same is true in the art of developing the right marketing strategy for you. We need to detect which of the many factors surrounding your products, your company, staff, and culture are the essential ones to build your marketing and branding strategy around. Trying harder strategically
Having the right marketing strategy is crucial. Consider this classic example: For years, Avis spent millions trying to convince everyone they were better than Hertz and lost money in the process. Then, their advertising agency came up with a brilliant new strategy. Admit they were number two and make it an advantage: "We're number two. We try harder."
Fact: they were number two. Perception: It makes sense that the number two company might try harder, so perhaps give better service and have better prices. That marketing strategy was hugely successful, and they turned profitable – very profitable – for the first time in 13 years! It's elementary
Don't underestimate the importance of a branding
and marketing strategy that is right on target. Without it, your company's
marketing and advertising is hit and miss at best.
