Do you subscribe to Miracle Marketing? It’s very popular, and easy to do!
Simply conduct some marketing activity – print some brochures, book an advertisement – then cross your fingers or pray. Divine Intervention will do the rest.
Except it won’t, will it?
Yet many businesses put their faith in Miracle Marketing, spending £100s on leaflets which tell the wrong story, £2,000 on a third party mailing list that hits the wrong people, £4,000 on a radio campaign that fails to inspire the listeners.
Even ‘free’ marketing activity – like social media – has a cost implication. Used without strategy it’s wasting work time.
You don’t have to be a marketing expert to turn trial and error spending into an effective marketing campaign.
A little bit of knowledge, combined with the confidence to know you are doing the right thing, will help you to target your marketing in the right direction – you’ll stop wasting money and start to see the benefits of a well thought-out marketing campaig
