Ways to Create an Affordable & Effective Marketing Plan

许多中小型公司有很棒的产品和服务,但却在营销方面苦苦挣扎. There are so many advertising choices, platforms, 许多企业主不知道从哪里开始使用新技术. 

However, without a solid plan in place, 你的企业将面临更高的营销成本和更低的效果. 创建一个综合的策略,结合正确的营销工具组合,可以促进你的销售,帮助你以更少的费用实现增长.

这里有一些澳门赌场官网如何更有效和更经济地推销你的业务的建议和想法.

Start by knowing your audience and their needs

从你的营销努力和投资中获得最好的结果, 你需要确保你确切地了解你的目标受众是谁. 

Do you sell products for new mothers? Offer goods to other small business owners? Provide services to local homeowners? 问问你自己,什么样的客户会从你所提供的东西中获益最多, and why they should buy from you instead of your competition.

了解你的目标市场和他们的需求对于明智地投入营销资金至关重要, because this information not only helps you know who to target, but where to focus your energy and communication. Once you know the ‘who’, you can identify characteristics and behaviours, such as age, location, preferences, best media channels, and the problems you can help them solve. 

In this way, 你可以用更少的钱获得更有效的结果,并创建信息来展示你的服务或产品如何满足他们的需求并解决他们的问题.

要想以可承受的成本营销你的业务,就从数字机会开始

In November, 澳门赌场官网全国零售协会(NRA)分享了一份基于对700家企业调查的2023年数字营销报告, 调查发现,只有11%的中小企业(sme)完全采用了数字化战略. 

考虑到许多可用的数字营销选择的低成本,这一发现非常令人惊讶——但这也意味着你有机会利用这些选择,并有可能在竞争中获得优势. 这里有四个数字营销领域,在这些领域中,一些计划和策略可以帮助你更有效地使用预算, saving money for other promotions elsewhere.

  1. Social media

In the NRA report mentioned above, 调查人员发现,只有25%的中小企业积极参与社交媒体平台. 这是一个错失了以极低成本与更广泛受众建立澳门赌场官网的机会.

确定最适合你的目标市场的渠道. Are your customers most likely to use LinkedIn? Instagram? Facebook? Next, 创建一个几个月的张贴日历,包括有趣的, authentic posts (not just sales-oriented material). Staff stories, announcements, 回答常见的客户问题和如何使用你的产品的提示是很好的开始.

  1. Website

According to the NRA report, 85%的澳门赌场官网中小企业在他们的网站上展示他们提供的服务, which is good, 但只有36%的澳门赌场官网小企业有效地使用了搜索引擎优化SEO, and only 13% provide testimonials or any form of social proof, missing out on a chance to build trust with prospects. 发布积极的客户反馈和评论(详见下文)和确保你的网站最大化SEO都是提高你的网站和网站流量的好方法. 

And if you don’t have a website? 有许多平台可以帮助你建立一个DIY网站——包括一个电子商务网站——快速和相对容易, such as Squarespace, Weebly and Wix.

  1. Email marketing

If you don’t already have an email marketing program in place, 你可以从要求你的客户注册开始,让网站的潜在客户很容易加入你的名单. 注册的激励措施——比如优惠券或获得特别优惠——真的可以帮助你快速建立名单. Once in place, 使用你的列表来发送及时的信息和销售优惠可以提高受众的参与度和促进销售——只是不要经常发送电子邮件,否则你的收件人会不知所措!

If you don’t have an email marketing client to use, there are numerous low-cost, online platforms that can help with list management and templates, such as MailChimp, ActiveCampaign, Klaviyo Sender, and MailerLite.

  1. Recommendations and Reviews

这里有一个让你的客户帮助你进行营销的好方法! 客户的推荐和评论可以为您的工作增添强大的元素, 因此,让满意的客户在网上或社交媒体上评论你的业务——在你的谷歌页面上获得评论应该是你的首要任务. 通过简单的调查询问客户的反馈也可以帮助您了解您的业务可能从更改或改进中受益的地方.

拥有完善的计划和有效的数字营销选择, your business can develop an affordable, more effective marketing strategy. For help with any of these areas, contact your Accru advisor.
