The Short Answer
If your marketing feels like it’s costing more than it’s delivering, the problem often isn’t the individual marketing tactics. It’s that they aren’t built on a strong foundation or following a proven strategy. Before investing in more advertising, social media, email marketing, or other campaigns, make sure your website, messaging, online presence, and customer experience are working together. That’s what gives every marketing dollar a better chance of producing results.
Maybe You’ve Experienced This Yourself
You get an email that catches your attention and promises all kinds of incredible marketing results for your company. Business owners are often encouraged to invest in different marketing tactics without first having a proven plan to follow. Convinced to buy, you’re often left feeling like a heavy fog is impairing your sight, and you have no clue if your business is heading in the right direction.
At our agency, we regularly hear owners share their frustrations about trying online ads, billboards, email campaigns, or direct mail without knowing whether any of it actually worked. Instead of immediately recommending another marketing tactic, we take a step back and ask a few important questions that bring the focus back to the foundation of your marketing. Those conversations quickly uncover what’s really happening and help you take control of your marketing investments.
What Comes Next!
The next step is uncovered by following our proven process, which is outlined at the right. This framework is what we call the Vivid Image Marketing Method. It’s a results-driven process that we walk all of our clients through, step-by-step, to make sure they are working the right steps, in the right order.
By implementing these in the correct order you’ll get customer activity you truly want, and it all starts with ensuring you have a solid Foundation!
How Do You Build a Strong Marketing Foundation?
The first step is focusing on your Marketing Foundation. This is where you establish credibility as an organization. Right away, we’re going to look at your listing in Google and your online reputation, along with your website, messaging, and branding. A solid foundation makes sure your website does all that it can for you, building trust and credibility. Your foundation clears the path for prospects to find you online and do business with you. It’s clear, intuitive, and measurable what action you want customers and prospects to take.
With a solid foundation there’s no question who you are, what you do, what people are saying about you online, who recommends you, and how to contact you. Most of all, there’s no jumping to time-wasting and money-wasting activities, before it’s known what the next best step is.
