5 Tips for a Killer Small Business Marketing Plan

Have a goal

Not simply one overarching goal, which is important, but a series of smaller, milestone type goals which make it easier to reach your eventual destination.

Define who your audience is

Taking a snapshot of who your ideal customer is, and what they like, dislike, where they hang out and more is a crucial step in making an intelligent marketing plan. Knowing this information beforehand saves much time and money.

How you intend to market

There are innumerable ways to get your message out, but knowing the best and right way for your particular business can give you a clear focus and save resources. Whichever method you choose, whether it’s paid ads or organic search marketing, it needs to be the right one for you!

Know what else you need

There will very likely be pieces in the puzzle that are critical to the plan that need to be in pace as well. This can sometimes be a marketing funnel, landing pages or an email marketing sequence.

Set a timeline

Giving your campaign a timeline for implementation and completion is important to a successful marketing plan. It will also help keep all members of the team on task and striving towards the goal.
