Have you ever wondered how to create your own marketing strategy?

I recently had the opportunity to speak to a group of business owners about that very thing. And, to understand how to get where we want to go, we have to begin at the beginning.

After all, as the Cheshire Cat says:

If you don’t know where you want to go, then it doesn’t really matter.

So, let’s begin:

1. What is your objective?

If you don’t know what it is you’re trying to accomplish…how can you know when you’ve accomplished it? And, more importantly, how can you put a strategy in place to achieve those objectives? This is one of the primary things we often forget when we begin our journey – typically because we’re so excited to dive in and get going. 🙂 But…it pays to take a step back, assess what you want to accomplish and define what it is you want to achieve for your business.

2. Who is your audience?

Is there a certain group of people you’re targeting? Multiple groups? Who are your customers or clients? Do you have multiple types of customers? Do they have different needs or objectives? It’s important to identify who you’re targeting with your marketing so you can tailor the messages to resonate with each audience.

3. What makes you different?

And finally, what makes you different than your competitors? Your customers have a lot of choices today, and they need a reason to choose you. What is it that makes you stand out from your competitors? Once you determine that, you can narrow your messages to play up that differentiator and attract customers who value that aspect of your business.
