0 Comments Business Owners Integrated Marketing Marketing Marketing Strategies Tools & Resources
The benefits of a carefully planned marketing strategy are numerous. Too often, small business owners rely solely on their intuition to make business decisions. While this informal knowledge is certainly an important aspect of the decision-making process, it may not provide you with all the facts and data you need to achieve the best results.
Developing a marketing strategy will force you to think about the various aspects of your business. In fact, you should really think of the “marketing strategy” as a set of strategies — for positioning, pricing, distribution, and promotion — developed with one goal in mind: to lead your enterprise to the destination you have chosen.
The four P’s of marketing
Traditionally, marketers have referred to the four “P’s of marketing” to explain the importance of a well-planned marketing strategy. In essence, the main purpose of marketing is to help you identify the needs and wants of your target market so that you can develop promotional strategies that will allow you to provide your customers with the “right” product at the best price.
Product.
What is the unique positioning of my product or service? Positioning your product in relation to similar products available on the market is essential if you want to distinguish yourself from the competition. Ask yourself what makes your product (or service) unique and how it compares to the competition.
Price.
How do I determine the best price for my product or service? There are many ways to establish the price of your product or service. An effective pricing strategy will help you stay competitive in your market. Determine how much your customers are willing and able to pay for your products and whether they have the income required to pay for your product.
Promote.
How effective is my advertising? Even if you are offering the best, fastest, or least expensive product around, you will get nowhere if no one knows about it. An efficient promotional or advertising strategy will ensure that your efforts translate into sales.
Provide.
How do I make sure that my product or service reach my customers in the most efficient manner? The type of distribution network that is right for your product depends on many factors, such as the size of your business, the structure of the industry as well as the buying behaviors of your customers. The way you make your products available to your customers can give you an important competitive advantage.

0 Comments Business Owners Marketing Marketing Strategies Mobile Apps SEO Tools & Resources
A mobile app for your business is a must.
Your customer has their phone at their fingertips practically day and night. However, there is nothing worse than spending the time and money on your brand new app that doesn’t get downloaded. Please don’t let that happen in your case!
Companies often think that they won’t have to truly promote their new app because it’s so awesome, fabulous and exciting. (So they think…) On the contrary, you have to market your new app if you want to see a large number of downloads.
Check out these tips to help promote your app and get more downloads:
Market your app in advance
Don’t get so excited about your new, savvy mobile app that you put the cart before the horse. Take your time and market your app before you launch. Create an air of expectancy and excitement amongst your customers.
Your goal is to get the word out and have people on their edge of their seat waiting for your mobile app’s release.
Offer a freebie
Free sells! Everyone likes something for nothing. Figure out a way to offer a freebie or great discount for your product with each app download. What about a coupon code, loyalty program, free report, etc…? Get creative and provide a freebie to ensure more downloads. You could offer some exclusive mobile app only content, giveaways, offers, contests, etc…
Also, over time if you need a boost in downloads then give another promotional code or freebie to get extra downloads in the works.
Think social media central!
Blog, tweet, pin and share your app info to the masses. Be sure that your app download is talked about on every social media account you have. The goal is to shout your app news to as many people that you can! Always add value to your app users and get them talking about it often.
Market, Market, Market
You pre-marketed this app. Right? Good, you were listening… Now keep on marketing. My motto is to tell your customer what you’re going to do, then do it and then tell them that you did it.
You must market, market and market it again! Constantly remind your customer what you’ve done for them lately. Put download links everywhere. You can even add a mobile app tab download link on your Facebook page. Mention it on phone calls, emails, business cards, newsletters, blogs, etc… you should always promote your app.
Mobile apps are here to stay and every company should have one to engage their customers and promote their business. Brainstorm as a team and figure out the best ways to heavily market your app and watch your download numbers increase.
May The App Be With You!
